Is Barack Obama for or against slavery?

Answer 1

Of course Barack Obama is against slavery, and he has also been opposed to segregation. President Obama is very much aware of his own racial heritage (given that his father was born in Africa), and he and his wife have visited several African countries where the slave trade was practiced. If you are asking this question because you heard on a talk show that President Obama is trying to "enslave" people, this is political rhetoric and there is no truth to it. Since he is America's first black president, no-one else who has held that office could be more personally familiar with the story of slavery, and Mr. Obama knows all too well about the harm that slavery did to past generations.
