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.

You do realize nobody has ever presented any evidence at all Malcolm X and Ms. Dunham ever even met?

It’s not a “they say” ~ it’s a for real. He looks incredibly like his grandfather.

“My guess is it was changed from some other, less definitive, designation around the time BO decided to run.”

Yeh like Negro which was the terminology in the 60’s.

It jumped out at me, too.

My understanding of research done by “Miss Tickly” (Freeper TerriK?) is that in response to her many UIPA requests, Hawaii inadvertently confirmed the birth records were amended as recently as 2006.

Further, according to the Post and Email, there is good reason to believe he had no birth records on file before that year.

Obama has what are clearly European teeth. Malcolm X doesn't.

You want to check out some strange teeth, look at Hillary Clinton's. She has total caps and the dentist set them in so it looks like she has EXTRA TEETH ~ an affection supposed to make it look like you are smiling.

Being mixed myself, I am lede to think how things might have worked if he had come out looking less African and More like his grandfather. Genetics is a crazy thing. He could have come out “white.”

A natural born citizen AND A COMPLETE FRAUD. It would render his ghost-written memoir an epic hoax on the scale of James Frey’s A Million Little Pieces, Clifford Irving’s fake Autobiography of Howard Hughes, “The Hitler Diaries”, Darwin’s The Origin of Species, etc. Of course the literary hoax wouldn’t be the half of it.

Until we see a real live birth cert., for all we know, Obama is a robot and only has an inventor instead of parents. He certainly talks like a robot and is undoubtedly programmed.

If one is from South Africa and is white, that person would also be referred to, and correctly so, as African American; with no negro blood whatsoever.

I am very suspect of a BC that indicates race as “African”
In the 60’s you were either negro or negroid - as a “race” and not “AFRICAN” I smell a RAT!!

Yes, that is my point.
The Obots, however, claim that Hawaii was very lax in
their classifications, and that the applicants could
choose whatever they wanted as “race”.
I do not buy that, but that is their explanation.

PEOPLE, please.

Keep in mind - first of all - that it was 1961.

Second, that there were strict vital stats codes put forth by the government, that the parents could self-identify from.

From the approved codes.

Have any of you ever seen a 1961 birth certificate with a parents race listed as a frickin continent ??? No, you have not.

Check out some info on this very topic:

I agree and he looks a lot like his mother; but he does look like some of his alleged relatives in Africa.

You can always count on the Left never to fact check anything. They pretty much make everything up as they go along.

It was Jesse Jackson who demanded that Blacks be called that, only a few decades ago.

Blacks started out being called "Blacks" or NEGROS, then "colored, then back to Negro, then back to Black, and finally "African Americans", which is patently ridiculous! Egyptians are Africans, so are Libyans, and white South Africans;to list but a few people,who aren't classified as "NEGROIDS".

Sadly true.

Hawaii does have slightly different customs in regards to the race listed for parents. More so now, but not in the’60’s.

In the ‘60’s it was a bit more strict. It was the times.
