The thing that always caused me to doubt the certificate is because his father's race is entered as African.

Now Roger Whittaker is also African, but he is not black.

I was under the opinion that back in the 60’s, black people were referred to as Negro.

Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?

They might have just recorded whatever information was provided by the mother. If Ann Dunham said “African”, perhaps that’s what they put down.

I must admit I still don’t feel I know whether the Obama web birth certificates come from a genuine source or not.
While I hope Barack loses, but I’m not confident he is ineligible.

LOVE IT!! Roger Whittaker has long been my example. Why, if he moved permanently to the United States, he’d be an African American! Wouldn’t that be a hoot??

I think that since Obama Sr. was a citizen of Kenya, Africa, and not a U.S. citizen, his "RACE" would not be listed as NEGRO or BLACK, in light of your Roger Whittaker fact. The question that should be answered is "How did Hawaii classify the different races of SOUTH AFRICA?
