LOL Sure, and black Africans know who Bull Connors was and care a whit about America’s race relations. One thing that strikes you almost immediately when you meet a black African is how little they are concerned about their color or what anyone thinks about it.
I thought the question was whether a Hawaiian official would have pushed back if BHO, Sr. said he wanted his race listed as African on the BC. BHO, Sr. probably hadn't heard of Bull Connor (although I think we can assume he knew British attitudes towards their Kenyan wards and also of American slavery). No doubt, the Hawaiian official was far more enlightened on such questions than his mainland counterpart in Bombingham (where Condoleeza grew up) would have been!

Which is the correct attitude!
