How come Obamas father is listed as "African" yet in other black peoples BC from Hawaii from that time period, the race is listed as "colored"or "negro"?

1. Because those other people were not from Africa
2. Because apparently on the application for a birth certificate it was allowed for the the parents and/or hospital to write in a race.

And by the way, I'm the same age as Obama, that bottom BC is exactly how mine looks after 54 years yet his are utterly pristine.

Obama's published BC looks new because it is. If you ordered a new copy of your birth certificate you too would get a newly printed one based on state records.

There is no evidence of a printed Obama birth certificate. The one he put online has photoshop LAYERS on it so it is an amalgam of electronic documents and/or electronic photos.

African is a race? Like North American?

He claimed he usedvhis BC as a bookmark.........doesn’t look like it was used for anything....eqsy pezzie need a copy of your BC....take it down to Kinkos

Yes but I believe “African” is not a race, that’s like saying someone is “American”, plenty of white people were born in Africa. plus how convenient he doesn’t have his original BC. My brother is 52, he still has his and my father incredibly does as well who is now 76. Matter of fact his is in better condition than mine.
