Father’s race on the Obama birth certificate: only a curiosity or a smoking gun?
Canada Free Press ^ | April 26, 2011 | Lawrence Sellin

Nevertheless, there is one thing that I don’t quite understand.

On the Certification of Live Birth (COLB), now widely available on the internet, Obama’s father’s race is listed as “African”.

(snip)

For the sake of argument, let’s say that the terminology is peculiar to Hawaii and Obama filed a Late Certificate of Birth or perhaps his documents were updated in recent years.

In that case, the publicly available COLB must reflect what is written on the source birth documents, even updated ones.

In Appendix B “Hawaii Model – Standard for Clustering Race/Ethnicity Categories” contained in an article published in 2003 by employees of the Hawaii Department of Health, the word “African” appears as an “Aggregated Ethnic Group” under the race category “Black (non-Hispanic)”. That differs from the categories in Appendix A, which apparently represented an earlier version and did not contain the word “African”.

Unless I am mistaken, that information might suggest that Barack Obama’s birth data were updated around 2003 or thereafter.

If anything, I’ll bet his real dad is Frank Marshall Davis.

His dad was mostly Arab.

Arabs can look very dark.

I like Sammy Davis Jr as his father. Let’s ask Obongo to sing Candy Man for us.

Playing devil's advocate, although I would expect that a US resident with dark skin would be listed as a "negro" but I can see the possibility that a foreign citizen with dark skin might be listed as "African" as a way of differentiating.

Ultimately, the existence (or not) of the piece of paper is just the first hoop. The data on the piece of paper is where Obama will necessarily trip. There are no good choices for some of the data. Either he is ineligible, or he has been living a complete lie as to name and/or parentage.

I see no way out for him -- and that's why he hides the paper. His best gambit is to say, "Yes, I have the paper, it's perfectly good paper, and No, you can't see it." This is his only good answer, and it is precisely the strategy he has been playing, and spending $2M to maintain.

And now it is turning out to be an insufficient answer. But he has no Plan B.

The COLB had to say “African” to ensure the black vote. My guess is it was changed from some other, less definitive, designation around the time BO decided to run.

“wasnt stanley armour dunham from “South Africa”?”

I do not know, but it means nothing.
Africa is a continent, not a race.

“African American” was a bogus term made up by black
leaders to purge the terms “Negro” and “colored”, as commonly
used as a description of the Negroid race.

My guess is it was changed...

Which would mean that it was altered, thus invalidating it as a legal document in its entirety.

I wonder how many people on this forum actually read the article before commenting?

Or grasp the significance?

“information might suggest that Barack Obama’s birth data were updated around 2003 or thereafter.”

Your link is utter nonsense.

Researching his roots reveal that on his father's side, he is descended from Arab slave traders. They operated under an extended grant from Queen Victoria, who gave them the right to continue the slave trade in exchange for helping the British defeat the Madhi Army in southern Sudan and the Upper Nile region.

Total nonsense.

The British had been fighting slavery for almost a century at this point. In fact, the mahdist revolt in the Sudan occurred largely because they had insisted on stopping the slave trade, the basis of the Sudanese economy.

The idea that Vicky or her officials would do any such thing is truly ludicrous.

FTM, one look at Papa Obama makes it pretty clear he is African, not Arab. East African, to be sure, which has considerable differences from the West African physical type we're more familiar with, but still African, not Arab.

It would mean that in a REAL legal system not run by make-it-up-as-we-go-along liberals.

Absolutely. The guy looks and sounds like Malcolm X - although I think MalcolmX was a man with more integrity and more backbone than our current president.
