“African is not a race that and the pfony document says in the bottom corner is is laser printed and the lettering is not inconstant with Laser printing, it appears to be photoshopped .
I smell a forgery, is that legal????”

In 1961, the term “African-American” had not entered into the lexicon yet.

Back in 1961, blacks were called “Negroes” (or worse).

In 1961, even the term “black” was not in general usage. Blacks were referred to politely as either “Negro” or “colored”.

Yet this document uses the word “African” to describe the “race” of the father. I’m sensing that who ever “prepared” this document is so young as to think that usage of the word “Negro” is anachronistic, old, perhaps even “racist”. And that the preparer thinks - politically correctly - that the correct race of someone with black skin today is “African-American”.

Thus, whoever prepared this document WANTED to put “African-American” in that space but knew that the father was not American, so he/she simply deleted the “American” portion of the phrase and just entered “African” for race, thinking that was the “correct” designation.

I contend that NO ONE in 1961 would have used “African” to describe the “race” of Obama, Sr.

I contend that this most obvious error (which of course would not appear as an error by a young leftie today) lends heavily towards the evidence that what we are being proffered as a genuine re-issue of Obama’s birth certificate is a fake.

The DPI or Pixels(dots per inch) are 250 per inch , just enough to be easily manipulated but not show details like the quality of the State seal.

The black in the text as well as in the lines is the same color and clarity as the Obviously cut portion with the certificate number used to be.

On Real documents the black would be a shade of darker gray with a hint of the background color showing through in this case green for a dark green gray.

In Short Dan Rather’s staff did a better job.
