Is African a race?
On Nobummer's certificate of live birth it says his father was African. Is African a race? Back in the sixties, we didn't refer to black people as Africans they were either black or negro. The word African is suspect.

There are three races:
Negroid, Mongoloid and Caucasoid.
Mongoloid includes Asians, except for Southeast Asians which are Caucasian. American Indians are also Mongoloid...they immigrated here from Asia.
Caucasoid race is not only white people. Southeast Asians and Those from Middle East are generally Caucasoid. Spanish are also Caucasoid as are Italians.
Hispanics and Filipinos are mixed races. Hispanics are Mongoloid (from their indigenous roots) and Caucasoid (from their Spanish roots).
Filipinos are Mongoloid from their indigenous roots and Caucasoid from their Spanish roots.
Africans, if they are black, are negroid. Not all Africans are black/negroid. Some Africans are white/caucasoid. Negroid is a race, but African is not a race.
Hispanic is not a race, it is an ethnic background. Same with Filipino and African.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

So, the birth certificate is probably not a correct one. After all, if I was born in Africa and I am caucasian I would still woulbe be an African. So Nobama's father, should have said Negro to differenciate between a caucasian African and a black African.

Come on people. Obama's father did not give the info for the BC. His 18 year old mother did. She told the person who filled it out that he is African, which is how she thought of him. African what we call black americans. African-American. That indicates that they are black. Negro was the race that we used a lot, but people who were race sensitive did not use Negro -- too much like the N word. Please leave this alone, and give Obama a break on this. His parents were married, He was born in the USA, he is a citizen. Done.

See the difference? Doesn't mean the document is not legitimate, just means someone screwed up on listing the race of his father.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

It's a legitimate question, negro or black were terms used in 1961. The term "African-American" didn't exist then.
My daughter had a friend in college who was an exchange student. First day of class, he was asked his nationality, he stated "I'm African", there was a HUGE uproar and angry outbursts from black classmates. Why? He was white, but was born in Africa, as had generations of his family before him. Not South Africa either. He had more right to be called African, because he had been born there.
Can't we all just get along?Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

African as a race
Black may have been used in the late 1960s, but in 1961 the accepted and common terminology for blacks was "negro" or "colored." That is what one would find on a document such as this at that time in our history. Black came into usage in the late 1960s.
The Dept. of Health for the state of Hawaii issued those documents from information sent to them from the birth hospital. Having filled out such a document in the hospital in 1973 in the state of Alabama I can say with certainty that it was multiple choice and "African" was not one of the choices. I don't recall what the choice for blacks was, or there being an "Other" choice. The one I chose was "Caucasian."
Not all state documents are the same, but by that time there was a concerted effort in uniformity from state to state because of federal intrusion into states' government business. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that Ms. Obama was given the choice of "African" on the document she filled out.
Afican is not a race. It is a nationality.
