Frank Marshall Davis: Obama's Radical Communist Mentor

UK TELEGRAPH:
Frank Marshall Davis, Communist, was early influence on Barack Obama

New details about a black poet in Hawaii who was a key early influence in Barack Obamas life can be revealed by The Telegraph.

Although identified only as Frank in Mr Obamas memoir Dreams from My Father, it has now been established that he was Frank Marshall Davis, a radical activist and journalist who had been suspected of being a member of the Communist Party in the 1950s.

Mr Davis moved to Honolulu from Chicago in 1948 with his second wife Helen Canfield, a white socialite, at the suggestion of his friend the actor Paul Robeson, who advised them that there would be more tolerance of a mixed race couple in Hawaii than on the American mainland.

A bohemian libertine who drank heavily and loved jazz, he became friends with Stanley Dunham, Mr Obamas maternal grandfather in the 1960s. Mr Davis died in 1987 at the age of 81, five years before Mr Dunham.

He knew Stan real well, said Dawna Weatherly-Williams, a close friend of Mr Davis Theyd play Scrabble and drink and crack jokes and crack jokes and argue. Frank always won and he was always very braggadocio about it too. It was all jocular. They didnt get polluted drunk. And Frank never really did drugs, though he and Stan would smoke pot together.

While his mother was in Indonesia during part of his teenage years, Mr Obama lived with his white grandparents. Mrs Weatherly-Williams said that the poet was first introduced to the future Democratic presidential candidate in 1970 at the age of 10.

Stan had been promising to bring Barry by because we all had that in common - Franks kids were half-white, Stans grandson was half-black and my son was half-black. We all had that in common and we all really enjoyed it. We got a real kick out of reality.

Maya Soetoro-Ng, Obama's half-sister, told the Associated Press recently that her grandfather had seen Mr Davis was a point of connection, a bridge if you will, to the larger African-American experience for my brother".

In his memoir, Mr Obama recounts how he visited Mr Davis on several occasions, apparently at junctures when he was grappling with racial issues, to seek his counsel. At one point in 1979 Mr Davis described university as an advanced degree in compromise that was designed to keep blacks in their place.

Mr Obama quoted him as saying: Leaving your race at the door. Leaving your people behind. Understand something, boy. Youre not going to college to get educated. Youre going there to get trained.

He added that theyll tank on your chain and let you know that you may be a well-trained, well-paid nigger, but youre a nigger just the same.

It has also been established that Mr Davis, who divorced in 1970, was the author of a hard-core pornographic autobiography published in San Diego in 1968 by Greenleaf Classics under the pseudonym Bob Greene.

In a surviving portion of an autobiographical manuscript, Mr Davis confirms that he was the author of Sex Rebel: Black after a reader had noticed the similarities in style and phraseology between the pornographic work and his poetry.

I could not then truthfully deny that this book, which came out in 1968 as a Greenleaf Classic, was mine. In the introduction to Sex Rebel, Mr Davis (writing as Greene) explains that although he has changed names and identitiesall incidents I have described have been taken from actual experiences.

You folks are hilarious. Not even educated enough to know the difference between communism and socialism. I wish Obama *were* a communist just so you folks could get a glimpse of one. Yes, bailing out Wall Street -- exactly what Lenin and Mao would do!

Obama was a member of the New Party while living in Chicago. He is pictured in the clubs newspaper with his fellow commies. Guess you didn't do enough research, eh?...or you would have known that.

[ljkinsey]

There is no doubt that Obama has a Marxist mentality. His entire campaign was nothing but lies. Now the government mandated insurance just passed in congress is living proof we're headed to socialism. God only knows if we can defend our liberty. I encourage every able bodied American to vote out every liberal politician that voted for this take over of our country in the 2010 election. Maybe then this take over can be repealed.

Have you seen the video about the Copenhagen treaty? If not, here it is:

The media sent an army to investigate Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber...and yet totally ignored Obama's past and his Sealed Records.

This enabled Obama to get elected.

The media is guilty of creating the biggest Coverup ever perpetrated against the American people.

With the media acting as an arm of the Obama Propaganda Machine...Obama will be able to do whatever he wants to do to us, and the media will spin it as something 'wonderful'.

Even the internet search engines delete into now.

RON PAUL IN 2012!!!!!

[IMakeVaginasHuge]

Yep, yet you will never see the liberal left media fully vet Obama. For whatever reason, they in fact want a man with all these associations as president.

what anti communist propaganda bullshit. Communism kills? no dictatorships kill. Capitalism has killed millions, but you don't hear about that do you, even today millions are starving to death because of disproportional distributional of wealth. In America the top 10% of the population own 71% of the wealth while the bottom 40% own less than 1%...is this fair? And what if Obama is socialist (at least he cares for the poor), what happened to political freedom, or is that just an American myth.

[kittyspurrr]

I swear that Americans are becoming unglued, or has the Twit[ter] generation just made it more apparent you always were basically a nation of nutcases looking for a conspiracy theory?

In addition to this, Frank Marshall Davis is most likely Obama's biological father and it can be proved with a blood description, never mind a DNA test with FMD's son who looks like Obama. Just look at the photos of the three men at the same age in life.

Knowing this makes all the pieces fit together, especially how Obama ended up in Chicago's inner circle. It all fits. Also, Obama looks nothing like Obama Sr, or anyone in that family. Obama Sr. never lived with S.Ann.D..

i wan't to know what's up with the health bill that he keep's trying to pass that forces people to buy health insurance,

i'm not saying health insurance is a bad thing,

but if Americas founded on the principals of ("liberty.")

and he's not giving you a choice you have to buy health insurance.

isn't that kinda obstructing your liberty to choose,

that's kinda close to communism,

because he's taking the choice away from the individual.

[spritjoggle]

@irateking The statement that Obama is a communist is so absurd that the rest of your comments are rendered completely irrelevant.

[irateking]

@spritjoggle You say "so what" to our President being a communist, then call us nutty? DO YOU understand the ultimate result of something like this HAPPENING? Obama is working TOTALLY against the interest of the American people. The Federal Reserve is still standing and this is just one of the reasons in a huge shit storm of corruption proving why.

Search : Obama Deception, Black Nobility, Club of Rome...these are the people who our country belongs to, we are not free and never were.

@wjs222 Obama is nothin but a Kenyan Commie who has a profound affinity for hummus and flatus
