The state of Hawaii already clarified this months ago. It allows parents to classify their race however they want. Many Africans, especially those of the nationalist variety, like Obama Sr., don't like to be associated with American blacks. It thus makes perfect sense that he would choose to put down "African" rather than "black" on the form.
