I’m not trying to persuade you of anything, just supplying additional information. Take it or leave it.
I looked at some of it, and I think there was some manipulation there, since the same birthday for the real Bari Malik Shabazz was used, and the same place in NYC for residence, and it appears to be someone trying to add confusion, when the original son of X was a teenager.
In 1974, the real Bari Malik Shabass would have been about 15 yrs old (born 1959), so a parent or guardian of that Hugh Smith from Jamaica would have had to fill out the papers as he was not of age (claiming same BD). In fact during that timeframe, NY had the age of adult at 18...so he could not have done that himself. Something fishy about those forms from that link you gave me...I didn’t see a guardian or parent signature? Did I miss something? Social Security would have required that to get a card and SSN.
Now later it was dated 1980 as having gotten that SSN? Then Smith would have been old enough to apply himself. But Why that name? Doesn’t make sense. Because the real Bari M. Shabazz was born in NYC....not Jamaica.
What made a guy named Hugh with last name Smith?? Very odd such a common name like Jones, who applies at 15 for a change of name and uses the original birthday as the guy’s name he wants, OH REALLY? AND on the same street as the Shabazz elementary school, etc....co incidence, I think not. How would he know all that stuff if he came from Jamaica? Someone was playing games, but why? imho.
