It would not be an "everyday" occurrence in 1961 that a beautiful young white girl would deliver a "black" baby!!!
Wouldn't you think that would be a kind of sensation (scandal) that anyone in the hospital would notice and remember???
Excellent point! Black baby white underage mom. No one remembers.
Right, but places like Hawaii may be different than the mainland even back then as places like parts of the US were as well.
I don’t know when African Americans ever first played football for some southern Universities like Alabama but in Minnesota, I think they did before World War I even.
Also, on the other hand, obviously, Obama has ties to Kenya.
Doesn’t want to show his birth certificate, friends who have been in anti-US organizations, moved to Indonesia but attended Catholic school there.
This all could not be thought up of in a fictional novel as truth is stranger. All of this is so extraordinary.
Calling Stanley Ann "beautiful, is stretching things a bit. She was not unattractive, but truly somewhat plain, and a little nerdy looking. (Says the Big Nerd himself. :) )
Secondly, this was Hawaii, where there was a lot of "race mixing" even in 1961. Still White-Negro (proper term then, used by Dr.King himself) mixing would have been fairly unusual, partly because of the relatively few Negros in Hawaii at the time, and the attitudes of the white community (and truth be told the Black community too). against it.
