I cannot imagine the British (in the 60’s) permitting the use of the word African to describe the race of white people born in Africa.

They damn sure weren’t known as African-Americans.That term didn’t arrive until much later in the 1970’s if I’m correct.

it’s very possible that when the parents filled out the information sheet, that they put African. And the staff who probably had very little experience with biracial children... just copied what was written.

I believe the embossed seal concern can be answered according to the date of issue, 1966 v. 2011.
Currently acceptable forms of certification include a stamped, multi-colored seal (signature stamp).
That said, the “new” COLB released by the WH shows a grayscale (B&W) seal. That may be explained due to it being a photocopy onto safety paper. Which means that the seal was on the security paper -underneath- prior to the photocopy of the “log-book” COLB.

This does make me wonder, though. Surely other blacks were born in Hawaii in 1961, if not at Kapiolani at Hickham or Pearl. How are their COLBs filled out?
Although Hawaii has been home to many mixed race Polynesian and Asian people, contemporary reports suggest that Barack Obama Sr. was the only black man on the island at that time. He was unquestionably the only African enrolled at UH during that time.

Exactly. They have now committed themselves fully in this, no turning back now. Obama would have been better off to just to continue to ignore it. I also find it very suspicious that after all his steadfast refusals to produce it and all the money he spent to block it's release, that he would give it up so easily now. If it is indeed a forgery, and I do believe it is, then that is certainly an impeachable offense. Bubba Klintoon got impeached for lying to the American publc. This is no different, in fact it is worse, because in addition to lying about it, he produced a forgery. More than one felony there.
Obama-lama-ding-dong HAD to know that this "document" would come under intense scrutiny. And if it is a forgery, it will be found out. I wonder where they found 50 year old paper to print it on?

I wonder it it was up to the father to self-identify his race. Being something of an “African nationalist” he might have been the “one in a million” who might use such an identifier. Personally, I'm much more interested in the fact that this appears to be yet another “secondary” creation of a document...not the actual original long-form Birth Cert document.

Hawaii had almost a million people at that time and is the home of multiple military bases. Barack Sr. was not the only black man in the State of Hawaii in 1961.

I stand corrected. The source I consulted said Obama Sr. was the only African black (as opposed to American blacks) on the Island at that time.
According to the Hawaiian Journal of History there were almost 5,000 blacks in Hawaii in 1960 nearly all of them being from the US and connected to the US military
1960: Blacks - 4,943 Total population - 632,772
