Father’s race on the Obama birth certificate: only a curiosity or a smoking gun? (new info)

For the sake of argument, let’s say that the terminology is peculiar to Hawaii and Obama filed a Late Certificate of Birth or perhaps his documents were updated in recent years.

In that case, the publicly available COLB must reflect what is written on the source birth documents, even updated ones.

In Appendix B “Hawaii Model – Standard for Clustering Race/Ethnicity Categories” contained in an article published in 2003 by employees of the Hawaii Department of Health, the word “African” appears as an “Aggregated Ethnic Group” under the race category “Black (non-Hispanic)”. That differs from the categories in Appendix A, which apparently represented an earlier version and did not contain the word “African”.

Unless I am mistaken, that information might suggest that Barack Obama’s birth data were updated around 2003 or thereafter.

There is also a stamp showing through from the back of the doc that says “2007.”

That's the date the Certification of Live Birth was printed and stamped on the back. Not saying that any other funny business happened, but the stamp is merely a release date for that form.

Similarly, I would like to know how much the term "African" was used when the birth records were typed in to their computer records? Was it the accepted term for entering the birth records? Or was it a special case? Or did a data entry clerk just decide to use that term on his/her own?

the term "African"

Is that the same as "Afrikaner"?

thanks

My b.c. has my parents listed as white.

[N. Theknow]

Here are some more "Africans."

[kabumpo]

No. Afrikaners were the Dutch of S. Africa.

[AppyPappy]

He is African, not Arab. He was born in Kenya, not Arabia.

People thought he was Arab because he was a “Muslim”.

“African isn’t a race and neither is Mexican or American.
The liberals and others who speak fluent moron in our government can’t tell the difference betweence race and nationality, and they can’t bring themselves to utter the words “black” or “negro” without spazzing out and falling to the floor in convulsive seizures.”

I totally agree BuffaloJack. There’s been efforts to redefine many things lately—race, nationality, sex, gender, marriage to name a few.

Do you know when they changed from using “White” to “Caucasian” on birth cert. also? I have seen a few from the 60’s and all state the race as “White” not “Caucasian”! Just looks like another discrepancy on their part.
