The United States did not use the word "African" for birth certificates in 1961 - Obama's does!
Vital Statistics of the United States ^ | 1961 | U.S. Dept. of Health

VITAL STATISTICS OF THE UNITED STATES 1961 at

 http://www.nber.org/vital-statistics/historical/nat61_1.CV.pdf

 says on page 231 under the section "Race and color" the following:

 "Births in the United States in 1961 are classified for vital statistics into white, Negro, American Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Aleut, Eskimo, Hawaiian and Part-Hawaiian (combined), and "other nonwhite."

 "The category "white" includes, in addition to persons reported as "white," those reported as Mexican or Puerto Rican. With one exception, a reported mixture of Negro with any other race is included in the Negro group; other mixed parentage is classified according to the race of the nonwhite parent and mixtures of nonwhite races to the race of the father. The exception refers to a mixture of Hawaiian and any other race, which is classified as Part-Hawaiian. In most tables a less detailed classification of "white" and "nonwhite" is used."

 Obama's "Certification of Live Birth" shows father's race as "African". That word was not used in 1961 to describe race.

You can draw your own conclusion.

I think the COLB is worthless, but “African” isn’t a slam dunk for me, since I can imagine how someone would have called Barack Sr. an African to distinguish him as an African Negro as opposed to an American Negro.

Just who is this NBER.ORG that posted this supposed pdf document. Obviously they are radical right-wing teabaggers who make up unsubstantiated junk like this. Besides, putting it in an ~8mb file is descriminatory and racist against people with dial-up connections!

Someone said in another forum that THAT was the reason he did not want his Birth Certifcate out there .... becuase it had him listed as WHITE like his mother.

I’ll have to point out a flaw in the conclusions drawn here. Hospital staff do not sit there and note “yep, that’s a white/Negro/American Indian/ Chinese/Japanese/etc...” into the records. That sort of info is provided by the parents of the child themselves, TO the hospital.

Do you really think a black man in 1961 is going to self-identify as a “Negro” ?

The US doesn't issue birth certificates, but the USG does set the reporting requirement standards for the states so that the data can be compiled using uniform measures.

"Births in the United States in 1961 are classified for vital statistics into white, Negro, American Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Aleut, Eskimo, Hawaiian and Part-Hawaiian (combined), and "other nonwhite." The category "white" includes, in addition to persons reported as "white," those reported as Mexican or Puerto Rican. With one exception, a reported mixture of Negro with any other race is included in the Negro group; other mixed parentage is classified according to the race of the nonwhite parent and mixtures of nonwhite races to the race of the father. The exception refers to a mixture of Hawaiian and any other race, which is classified as Part-Hawaiian. In most tables a less detailed classification of "white" and "nonwhite" is used."

Yes, yes. I can read complete crap and use cut and paste too. But that does not change the fact that the United States of America does NOT issue birth certificates.

WOW...it's there.

Section 5, under "Race and Nationality":

"Births in the United States in 1961 are classified for vital statistics into white, Negro, American Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Aleut, Eskimo, Hawaiian and Part-Hawaiian (combined), and "other nonwhite."

This proves conclusively that the COLB posted by Obama is A FAKE. There was NO "African" designation. I'm beginning to think that what was hid was that he IS "officially" white!

I would give that a plausable. Black babies come out looking "white" to those who haven't seen a lot of newborns, so I can imagine a light skinned baby born to a white woman in 1961 could be easily considered white (esp if no father were listed).

I, Joseph Robinette Biden, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States...

That will never happen over this issue and even if it did, it would be the worst disaster ever to befall the conservative cause. Obama would then become a political martyr, his policy failures would be forgotten and the mass of the American electorate would be filled with outrage towards a minority that managed to overturn their choice over a disputed issue. It wont happen and conservatives who take the time to stop and think should hope it never happens.

It doesn’t say that it did. He’s referring to the VITAL STATISTICS of the United States. But don’t let that fact get in the way of blind ignorance.

You are nitpicking. Hawaii wasn’t even the 57th state back then.

Yes, because it wasn't a bad word back then. It was the way to describe black people.

" Obama's "Certification of Live Birth" shows father's race as "African". That word was not used in 1961 to describe race. "

Typical leftwing moonbat mistake when forging documents; they use modern day linguistics instead of what was in use during the period they are trying to forge a document from.

If it's proof of anything, it's proof that Obama and his inner circle of co-conspirators (which includes certain media) have always known that Obama doesn't qualify to be be POTUS, and that they have been working on scrubbing records and planting loose doccuments which insinuate Obama was born in Hawaii. Even that wasn't done right. Like all things leftwing moonbats do, they lack co-ordination and do silly things like plant differing accounts on web sites like wiki pedia which name different hospitals which he is claimed to have been born in, name doctors who weren't even practicing pediatrics at the time, and "dig up" other planted information from supposed witnesses whose accounts also contradict their other planted info.

If anything, these leftwing moonbats are only confirming that not only is Obama unqualified, but there is a large number of corrupt individuals within government and the judicial system that need to be exposed and charged with a criminal conspiracy.

This is something that MUST be pursued to it's end, not only to rid this peoples nation of those responsible for attempting this coup, but to rid corruption in both our government and judicial system overall, regardless of which party these individuals belong to.

If you can find one other us birth certificate that lists the race of the baby as "African" you might have a point.
