I think what you are referring to is that Barak Sr. may have offered up the word African as his ‘race’ if he participated in filling out the the birth record. However, the fact remains that the father’s name on the phony COLB is spelled Barack. He would not have spelled it that way. Unfortunately, Barack also appears on Orly’s latest certificate for the father.
NO I’m thinking that a clerk from the hospital in Mombassa (Which has a Dutch government/clerical background) passed the information on to the American Embassy.
The embassy not knowing the SADO was unable to transfer citizenship because of her age*, wire the information provided to them by SADO and in the space for race typed the word AFRICAN** given to them by the hospital, not negroid, to Hawaii. Where they in turn “Registered” BO’s birth.
*Not their job, job for the court system.
**The dutch used the word Africander to designate a WHITE person living in Africa. Did they use African to designate the black? Help find the answer.
I haven’t read through all the comments on this thread, but I still see people discussing why AFRICAN was listed under RACE.
Has anyone considered that a birth certificate needs to contain adequate information to determine whether one is a natural born citizen? The birth certificate is the single document that documents the scenario of anyone’s birth. Had they entered NEGRO into the RACE slot, the true circumstances of BO’s birth would not have been documented.
Somewhere online during this whole saga, I saw a BC from someone who had born to a US citizen mother and an Asian father. The RACE slot for the father said either JAPANESE or JAPAN.
Folks in the 60’s were much smarter regarding our Constitution, it was much more than just a piece of paper back then.
I wish someone could get into the archived SOPs for Hawaii’s Health Department to see what guidelines they were given back then for entering information in the BCs. I’d bet this could be some good research.
Did Sr. sign the divorce papers? How did he sign it?
