“I’d like to see any other BC from Hawaii that lists race as “African”.”
There have been other certificates posted on the internet, but all just like the one I linked to, and all Caucasian.
I expect for someone like Obamie, it would say “mixed” since the mother was white.
A black would, most likely, be listed as Negro.
Just my guess.
And that’s the rub.
Negro was accepted in 1961 but BO’s certification of live birth says “African”. Go figure.
