I would think in 61 they still used NEGRO. African is a PC thing and another dead give away.
There are whites in Africa as well. How can “African” be a race?

I agree, but he is mixed, or mulato.
It was quite sometime past the early sixties that the term
African American was coined, but I still refuse to use it.
The Obots CLAIM that one could specify whatever they wanted
to be listed as race, but I think that is BS.
The Obots, of course, can never give an excuse for Bozo’s refusal to release a REAL birth certificate.
Exactly. In 1961 it would have been Negro. Not African.
`Hawaii race classification in 1961.`
``A poster over at World Net Daily found Hawaii government information from way back in 1961 in which Hawaii explained how it classified race and ethnic groups.
Below is an excerpt from that Hawaii government information.
I'm not sure what it means, but the classification of "African" as is found on the Obama Hawaii birth certificate that we see on the internet is NOT found in the Hawaii government classification. *****
Race and color
Births in the United States in 1961 are classified for vital statistics into white, Negro, American Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Aleut, Eskimo, Hawaiian and Part-Hawaiian (combined), and "other nonwhite."
The category "white" includes, in addition to persons reported as "white," those reported as Mexican or Puerto Rican. With one exception, a reported mixture of Negro with any other race is included in the Negro group; other mixed parentage is classified according to the race of the nonwhite parent and mixtures of nonwhite races to the race of the father.
The exception refers to a mixture of Hawaiian and any other race, which is classified as Part-Hawaiian.
In most tables a less detailed classification of "white" and "nonwhite" is used.
Completeness of birth registration in 1961 for "white" births is estimated to be 99.3 percent and for "nonwhite" births, 96.6 percent.
The most recent figures for other groups are from the 1950 test which indicated registration completeness at that time to be 85.1 percent for American Indians and 97.4 percent for ''other races," chiefly Chinese and Japanese.
Both figures are probably higher for 1961, but more precise estimates are not available.
A comparison of the race designation in matched sets of birth certificates and census records from the 1950 registration completeness'test indicates very high agreement for white persons and Negroes. There were, however, substantially fewer American Indians recorded on birth records than on census records.``

Not if the father literally is an African, which BO Sr. was.
American blacks were called Negroes before they were called African-American, but Africans could have been called African.
