From Newsweek:

In November 2008, I stood in a bar in Kenya watching Barack Obama give his victory speech. From the wild cheering of the crowd on TV, and his repeated appeals to them personally—”You said,” “You heard,” “You called”—I felt as if the people of America knew this man far better than I, even though we shared the same father. If there was a leading light in the Obama clan, he was it; and if there was a shadowed place that no one liked to talk about, then that, I guess, was me.

After a relatively privileged childhood, I crashed and burned in my teenage years. I had migrated from the plush suburbs of Nairobi, Kenya, to the wild chaos of the ghetto. I lost myself in drink and drugs and became a gun-toting gangster. In my early 20s, I spent a year in a Nairobi prison on robbery charges. My imprisonment included a starvation diet and 24/7 lockdowns in overcrowded, airless cells. But I came out a different man, resolved to turn my life around and find a different path.

    wow!!! if he wasnt the president now we wouldnt even being hearing this and his so called brother wouldnt be tring to say he in the slums……….i know one thing its not obama fault he had a better childhood and education!!! blame ur daddy n let ur brother do his his job here!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/1GrayGal/ 1GrayGal

    And is this supposed to be Obama’s fault? It is clear that their father is a deadbeat. That said, you can’t sit around blaming your parents for your situation for the rest of your life. If you don’t like living in the slums….do something about it. But leave your brother, our president out of it. You are not his responsibility and you should be ashamed for suggesting such.

    I am also wonder right now about helping a relative who choose to do nothing with her life but talk about how bad she has it when she had opportunities to advance but would not listen to me. I am not my brother’s keeper.
    I will never let her starve or be out in the elemnents homeless if it’s within my power…but she enjoys a “ghetto life” because of her own decisions.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/KDthaONE/ KDthaONE

    To shango24: You obviously are either too young or just a little on the ignorant side. I’m only judging from typing/grammar errors. I’m glad that we have a black president, but let’s remember that he still is a politician and his steps are ordered by other politicians.

    As far as his brother is concerned, you can’t expect family members to live other family members lives for them.

    People, let’s not continue to give these journalists/authors the satisfaction by wishing death on each other and commenting on things and situations that we really don’t know about. If anything, do your own research and make an intelligent decision on what you believe in and what is right.

    I know I will.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/KDthaONE/ KDthaONE

    To jayb142:

    I know how you feel. I’m dealing with the same situation. She has had many opportunities and help from family to live good, but she continues to make the wrong decisions but refuses to listen to family for advice, for she thinks that we are trying to control her life. We only want the best for her and her children.

    Sometimes we have to let our love ones hit rock bottom in order for them to relaize where their actions have led them to, that way they can turn their life around and make better decisions.

    I pray that those type of people get close to GOD that he may direct them.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/tpmedia/ tpmedia

    Correct me if I’m wrong (and I’m not cuz I read it a few times) but he never said in the article that he expects or even did he ask Obama for anything. The article I read erly stated that he was his brotha, he took some wrong turns, and that he did some time, LOL, its amazing how so many here have taken a title of a story, which he didn’t choose by the way, and turn it to this man asking or expecting Obama for anything without one person assuming that the media made it seem as if he was for the mere sake of selling a story. WOW!! And for the one woman Jaxx04 , not for nothing queen but the BIBLE (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) says that we are our brothers keepers, lol, but with the anger I read in these post pretty much most of the time I am not surprised at some , well actually ALL of the responses, even the ones dissing Obama aren’t doing so because of this specific article , they are doing so out of complete anger toward him, the man, the politician, the system in which he works within and could only do so much even if he wanted to change most of it (which he doesn’t by the way, lol) but the bible also says that in the last days the LORDS grace will slowly leave the earth so again, Im am not surprised.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/KDthaONE/ KDthaONE

    To tpmedia: That was something else that I forgot to mention; the MEDIA wants to corrupt our minds. Yes his brother didn’t say, in the posted article, that he blames Obama for his situation, so it seems that many of you are agreeing with the author and the title of the article, but not the content in it.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    mrsholland22, No, no, no…thats whats wrong with folks now..always wanting a ‘hook up’ instead of working for themselves. The man in this article DID NOT slip out of Obama’s P*enis, therefore he is NOT responsible for him. It is Obama’s duty to be sure that HIS OWN children dont wind up in slums…thats it. Ole boy needs to not try to ride on coat tails…

    there is a huge diffrence between one who chooses a ghetto life who lives with weak willed people and one who lives with strong willed with money type of people,no offense but the ghetto life offers certain things that you may not finacially be able to provide,excitment ,protection and a sense of power now if u can provide that then i dont kno what afrakan person in the world would pick a ghetto life over and organized strong family with money and power. obama is just a str8 up typical half breed beyotch!

    now further more i tell you what

    see how much respect a man will get in life and loyalty from those he helps bring out of the dirt!

    can you say indebted for life.

    only N.I.G.G.E.RS LEAVE THRE OWN OUT TO DRY AND THEE ONLY WAY ID DO THIS TO A SISTER OR BROTHER IN MY BLOOD OR NOT BLOOD BUT WHO IS LIKE MIND IS IF I FOUND OUT THERE WERE MAKING MIXED BABYS AND OR A HOMOSEXUAL OR CHILD MOLESTOR OR SOME DISGUSTING SHET.

    OBAMA IS NOT NO MARCUS GARVEY OR PATRICE LUBUMBA

    THATS FOR SURE!

    AFRICAN-AMERICANS RATHER LISTEN TO SOME P.U.S.S.Y’S LIKE MARTIN LUTHER KING WHO ONLY HAD A DAMM DREAM! AND A SORRY DREAM AT THAT,OPPOSSE TO BUILDING UP BUSINESS AND CUTTING OUR CONSUMER SPENDINIG AND FOCUSING IT ON US LIKE MARCUS GARVEY DID AND PREACHED,BUT NO P.U.S.S.Y FOOT AFRICAN AMERICAN

    WANT HOPE FROM OBAMA AND A DREAM FROM MARTIN LUTHER KING AND NONE PAY BILLS OR HAVE CLEANED UP OR COMMUNITES AND STREETS.

    Well, the one thing I respect about him is that he is not really blaming anything or anyone for his poor choices. He realizes he had it good, and chose to go down another, self destructive path. I don’t feel Obama is obligated to help him out, but I think he should provide some assistance. By assistance, I mean possibly provide an opportunity, but make it so that he has to do all the work and PROVE he has really changed. That means, no money, no handouts, just an opportunity to prove he is ready to uplift himself. So instead of giving him some fish, teach him how to fish!

We not be only Afrikan but it is not our fault! so u as an Afrikan who is ashamed of us n i g gers, i am shamed of you! we r built from the best! why??? because our ancecstors survived slavery and being stripped from the motherland and now a “ni g ger’ is the most powerful man in the world! stfu and learn u something!

He isn’t obligated to ANYONE except his wife and daughters. Look at all the athletes/celebs who never had relationships with parents, siblings, family and as soon as they make some money here comes everyone. No, i wouldn’t do it either, specially if they had no real times. People kill me not wanting to be TOTALLY held accountable for whatever decisions you made and want everyone else help you fix it. Just case they have the same father means nothing. If he doesn’t know the man why should be be responsible for his care? Tell you what since some posters feel like obama should help, dig in your pockets since your heart is obviously kind and send that man some money to help him get back on his feet. Go ahead, i’ll wait and see if you do….

    I can respect what shango is saying, thats the communal way of looking at it. I respect Obama’s brother for being a man by admitting to his mistakes and short-comings. Shoot that’s more i can say to most people living in this land calling themselves women and men.I do believe in unconditional love to your own family not by giving handouts, but by providing them resources to get an opportunity. however, Obama has abandoned his Kenyan side of his family a long time ago. All that video and pictures of him in Kenya are all publicity. This is the same person that condemned the country and its people, turned his back in visiting Kenya and went straight to Ghana, same person that has Africom mission in Kenya as we speak etc.

    i understand that this is his brother and his brother made his own path now lying in it. obama is not GOD, cannot bail out everyone and his fathers skeletons are not his responsiblity. at the same they are family, if he genuinely changed his ways, naturally you would think he would help out, but he is not obligated it is of his choice. it seems like everyone that has made mistakes is looking for a handout or hand fed rather than being an adult, while taking care of ones responsibility and independence.

    @afrikasun i agree! So very true!! I love bein black, I love my black folks, but if this article is true, then thatsz a dayum shame. Tha bottom line is thats still his brother, i mean he aint gotta make tha man as rich as him, but he can help out! His brother was bad in the community, it never said that he did anything to obama..When black folksz get a lil money i swear they dont know how to act. And when they get where they need to be, they dont give a dayum about nobody else, they dont wanna see nobody else be better than them. I dont know what religon Obama is, or anything, but “christians” are supposed to forgive and forget. If obama helped him out, and he aint do what he was posta do “god” will punish him. But I mean hey, Obama’s sittin around, chillin, goin on vacation, watchin tha vmas, posin with tiger woods which cheated on his wife, and steady bullshytin around, and whats gettin done in “america”…EXACTLY FOLKSz…SMH this is exactly why i voted McCAiiN!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DaintyJen/ DaintyJen

    I 100% agree with Daysha80_Betrayed

    I personally believe that obama shouldn’t have to nor should he do anything. That was the path his brother chose so thats that. Obama has a wife and 2 kids. His time and money needs to go nowhere but to himself and his immediate family and the nation of course but his brother is grown. I’m in the similar situation my brother is a 30yr old loser who can’t even live on his own and then married a hood rat just as broke/irresponsible/disrespectful to the family just like him, on top of that they decided to bring children into their drama. Everyday they find ways to disrespect my parents so f them and their lives. Just because he is his brother…what does that mean? He doesn’t have to give him handouts in order to show love. Its good that his brother changed his ways but thats his baggage and HIS job to find his way throughout life.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ORIGINALSMACKS/ ORIGINALSMACKS

    Every one make mistakes, but when things start looking up for that so called black sheep of the family, the one’s in the family that wasn’t consider the black sheep of the family expects the fortunate so called “black sheep” to treat them better than they treated He/She. How can you understand someone when you can’t understand your family’s position but you are in a position to make things better for them. President Obama can pay for his brother’s education at least. Time for a change. Start with yourself first Mr.President.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Ceress86/ Ceress86

    President Obama is NOT responsible for his brothers actions or situations. No matter your opinion of him as a president. My opinion- damned if he does…damned if he don’t. People are always looking for a hand out or excuse…”now my brother is president, he should get me out the ghetto”…NONSENSE! George Obama is gonna “eat” with this book he writing off of President Obama’s name. People choose how they live their lives…BE ACCOUNTABLE! He gets credit for turning his life around. It’s time for a “change” and that change is called hard work, responsibility, and accountability. How many of you would pay for someone you DON’T KNOW!

    f–k that. obama’s father wasn’t apart of his life like that…and obviously didn’t raise obama and him together or to know each other…when they became adults apparently neither one of them made an attempt to know each other. now because obama is pres he has to go seek out and redeem a grown azz man?? no no no. people disgust me. you live in the slum…ok. sorry about that, but you over there getting arrested for weed. get the f**k outta here. ugh (i have half sis that i didnt meet until i was 20 yrs old, no thanks to my deadbeat dad who never even bothered bringing his kids together. she lives in nj and i live in mi…my mother helped pay for the ticket for her to visit us. luckily we connected and we have a great relationship. however, if i had never met her and we hadnt taken it upon ourselves to make it happen…would it be my responsibility to take care of her if i…for instance, won the lottery? just because she decided to go on t.v. and say she lives in the slums and she now wants to “be” my sister?? hell no!

    “After a relatively privileged childhood, I crashed and burned in my teenage years.”

    The President is not responsible for his spoiled brat of a half-brother turning to a life of drugs, drinking and crime. Children of privilege need to respect and embrace the opportunities they are given.

    omygod ive got a brother like that and everyone stays clear of him because…he just cannot be tamed. it does’nt matter what you give him help or councelling…. as soon as your back is turned he is stealing from you or some-one else or doing drugs and make sure to tell everyone how wicked all his family members are towards him…..lol what a joke http://join.crazyfruits.net

    That is sad, but this is not Obama’s fault and has no barring on Obama’s life.

    WELL BROTHER? Get off your A** & get a Job! Just like myself & my 2 brother’s! WE ALL WORK! We can count on each other for the rough spots in our lives, but 99% we individually hold our own!

    Damn @ Shango24…you hurt my feelings and u werent even directing at me….WOW!

    BUT, as much as I admire NANA,Shango24 and some other’s points on here…I have to disagree with yall. This dude shouldnt be helped. If he admittedly had the opportunities that most dont and he still did nothing with it? HE CHOSE his own path…let folks reap what they have sown. When he realizes he cant fall off the floor, then he’ll GET UP OFF THE FLOOR…but a handout isnt going to help him do any better..its going to make him LEAN harder next time…Come on now..yall KNOW them kats we give 5 bucks to this week…then they ask for 10 next time, then 20…vicious LAZY cycle….

    I think its safe 2 asume Barack never even met this brother, and thats prolly Y he hasnt sent him any $.

    @ Shango24: from your rant, I cant tell if you’re a radical activist Black man or a Radical racist white guy. Either way you should get your s**t 2gether.

    The ability to get a job is something thats taken for granted in the US. Its much harder to find a job in many African countries than it is here. Even @ something like a McDonalds.

    I also think being the President of one of the strongest and most influential nations on Earth is a little harder than you guys seem to think. Why dont any of you guys try to balance the American financial situation, organize 2 separate but related wars over seas, pass a health care reform, improve education all over the country, and try to find some money to send to your long lost half brother in Kenya all while receiving 100+ death threats a day and hearing how many people hate you just for doing your job. Lets try and support the man for once instead of hating on him.

    And quick question, would you rather Obama help one crack head in Kenya, or the 2million or crackheads in the US.

    Well, if they didn’t talk BEFORE becoming President…

    Obama is suppose to not only start talking to him now, but put him up in a lifestyle of luxury?…

    Hmm…I guess he could at least get him out of the slums…

    Well, it’s interesting to see that the half-brother was hooked on drugs for years just like Barack! The difference is that B.O. had his rich, white family to help him out of binds. People tend to overlook Barack’s admission (in his first book) of hard drug use for years, and the fact that others say he used as late as the 90s.

    @DopeMu

    IF YOU KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT POWER.. OR EVEN REMOTELY UNDERSTOOD IT YOU WOULD *KNOW* THAT WE DO NOT HAVE ANY POWER AT ALL!

HERE YOU JUST DO NOT OWN ANYTHING OR HAVE RESOURCES.. SO YOU JUST SELL OUT OUR MUSIC AND CULTURE FOR THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR. NGGAS SPEND MORE MONEY ON A HAIR WEAVE THAN THE RENT! SO GET THE FULL OUTTA HERE… NOBODY HAS A LEG TO STAND ON WHEN IT COMES TO THIS SHT! NOBODY!

    AND… FOR THOSE OF YOU SAYING THAT OBAMA FATHERs…

    FUK. THAT… FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO BELIEVED THE LIES.. AMONG THE OTHER LIES THAT OBAMAS DADDY DID NOT DO ANYTHING FOR HIM.. WHY DONT YOU PEOPLE PICK UP A FUKING BOOK INSTEAD OF LISTENING TO CHANNEL FIVE ALL DAY!

    WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK SPONSORED HIS ELABORATE HARVARD EDUCATION????? HE SAID HE DID NOT SEE HIM AGAIN…NOT THAT HE DID NOT SPEAK TO HIM.

    OBAMA’S FATHER WAS WEALTHY AFRICAN! HE OWNED THE AIRPORT THE US MILITARY LANDED THEIR PLANES IN HIS COUNTRY! BET YA DUMB@SSES DIDNT KNOW THAT! SO YOU THINK HE DIDNT KNOW HIS FATHER.. HIS SIBLINGS! BULLLLLSHHHT! HE DID KNOW THEM. HE ALSO WAS TAKEN CARE OF FINANCIALLY BY HIS FATHER.

    I wish you well. What ever happened to the black light poster if together we find each other it is beautiful.

    I have a family of brothers and sisters. If I had enough I would pay of mom and pops house and not give my sister a cent. She has to make her living just like I do. Mom and Pop are broke after helping charities out just as well as helping their children with bills are staying out of jail. After all Obama’s brother will make some money on his book. Just because he became president he was not suppose to take care of his brother who has turned his life around. He can’t make your life a living luxury. You may say clear and sober for the rest of your life. It can change and you go back to drugs and gun toting. Let Obama live his life and you will live your life. We do not know what kind of relationship these brothers had and I have to admit I don’t care. Give a thank you and go by some drug of your choice.. you got it made cause brother is President. How were you before he was president. He probably loaned you so much money you said you were going to get some shoes with that you bought your drugs with.

    I did it as a crown alcoholic.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/lakerdude19/ lakerdude19

    Of course Obama should help him! In fact, when the inevitable next stimulus package rolls around our president should put in a 45 million dollar earmark for him! As american taxpayers, it is our duty to give up a portion of our hard-earned money to anyone who is even remotely related to our president, regardless of whether or not they themselves are citizens.

    But seriously…

    This guy deserves no help from Obama at all. If I saw him today I would simply say, “Cry me a river!”
