Let’s see:

1. I was making the same point as you to doubt the .JPEG. That is that using African for a black man’s race was unlikely in 1961. A government document would have very likely have said Negro as I suggested. As for your comment about what people might have said at the time, that has nothing to do with government documents that would not have included a slur. Now possibly the answer is there were not many blacks in Hawaii back so government officials were not familiar with the official terminology of the period or possibly the foreign parents race was listed by where they were from?

2. I still have asked a question about a document based on termnology. That has not been answered and you have not provided a link where it has been. BTW, it is not really your job to tell us all what to talk about.

3. No one that I have seen has testified that they have seen an official Hawaii birth certificate circa 1961 and it looks like this one.

I personally have plenty of reasons to vote against Obama, but I still find it odd the Obama campaign did not respond to this little kerfuffle by releasing his birth certificate?

There's an earlier post on this thread discussing what the certification of live birth looks like per a phone call and FAX (probably email attachment) of the current document.

You need to read all the posts to catch this stuff.

Sorry, my point on African was that it was used and I have seen it used ~ in the 1960s and even earlier. I think some individuals got it in their mind that the term "African American" was used, but the baby daddy actually came from Africa and was not an American.

Too bad Obama's mom is dead or we could ask her about the day the nurse came to get the information eh.

It's crashing lightning around here so bye bye.
