"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."
Reading is fundamental:
It says:
Father's Race: Black
Father's State/Country of Birth: Africa
Look, I am not even a birther, but it is obvious someone is cooking up fake documents to cover something up, most likely Obama's daddy is not his daddy, or something silly.
Cover ups are always worse.
This will eventually out, so they need to suck it up and bring out the original (if it exists).
That jpeg is an admitted photoshop by Polarik. That means Polarik, not the state of Hawaii, not Obama Sr., designated the race as “black.”
