And that’s exactly why he spams here all the time

Did you see this whopper at #138;

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.

The following is from an update to the factcheck.org article entitled “Born in the USA” which looked into the original Obama COLB controversy:
“Update, August 26: We received responses to some of our questions from the Hawaii Department of Health. They couldn’t tell us anything about their security paper, but they did answer another frequently-raised question: why is Obama’s father’s race listed as “African”? Kurt Tsue at the DOH told us that father’s race and mother’s race are supplied by the parents, and that “we accept what the parents self identify themselves to be.” We consider it reasonable to believe that Barack Obama, Sr., would have thought of and reported himself as “African.” It’s certainly not the slam dunk some readers have made it out to be.”—August 26, 2008
