What we have here is a hopeful loony, I'm afraid.

"... Madsen says intelligence agencies around the world have scrutinized the birth certificate and decided it’s fake because of one word on the document. The word “African” was used to designate the race..."

In other words, all one has to do to disprove his theory is to find ONE other Hawaiian BC/COLB from that year that lists a parent's race as "African", and his whole theory goes down the toilet. Shouldn't be too hard.

OTOH, proving his theory is impossible, because you'd have to examine EVERY SINGLE BC/COLB and show that the ones involving blacks ALL used the terms "Black" or "Negro". Best of luck with that.

Not so fast.

“In other words, all one has to do to disprove his theory is to find ONE other Hawaiian BC/COLB from that year that lists a parent’s race as “African”, and his whole theory goes down the toilet. Shouldn’t be too hard.”

Finding other instances of “African” as a prescribed race-category at a time when prescribed race-categories did not include “African” would prove only that certain Hawaiian typists were incompetent. Hell, the Boers are as much “African” as Obama, Sr.

We can play only by the rules of the time, and those rules excluded “African” as an acceptable race-category.

The registrar can not just pick the term he wants to use. He will be limited to Caucasian, Mongoloid, Negroid or Mixed race. The key to the question is in 1961 was the term for Negroid one of the following, Black, Negroid, Negro or African.

I do know for a fact that to use the term African or Black would have been an insult in those days. The polite term would have been Negro or Colored. Oddly political correctness has now made the formerly polite terms an insult and the formerly insulting terms correct.

Why in the hell would Hawaii use a term for a black man that is insulting in 1961.

This does not pass the smell test.

I read somewhere that in the Kremlin, our country used to be referred to as the Main Adversary, but nowadays, the common appellation is New Africa. LOL! Those Rooskies are such racists!

How many black babies do you think were born in the islands between 1960 and 1965? Bet it isn't many except for possibly some military. If Trump would offer a reward for someone to bring forth one we might get some movement.
