No worries Aloha, I never thought you were defending Obama. I'm just very curious about this whole BC issue. If this is a red herring then that needs to come out.


Personally I'd love to know how it is that in the early '60s' a state, any state, would automatically be changing the race references to "African". In this day and age they call that "national origin" not "race". In fact if memory serves me correctly the usage of the word negro as a descriptor of blacks wasn't ended until the late 1960s'. So to have Obamas' father listed as African on a birth certificate, copy or otherwise, from the early '60s' seems extremely odd.
