And it's accurate. His father was in fact "African", not "African American".
Perhaps he didn't like the term used at the time to describe American black people, which would be "Negro".
Africa is a continent. Not a race and never was.
So a white person in Afircxa can say their race is african?
Kind of weird. He just should have shown what I have to show when I get a government ID. A birth certificate. It would have pretty much shut up the far right and we all would have moved on.
It is what his father declared his race to be and whoever filled out the form accepted it.
Hawaii has certified the record to be authentic.........I will accept their judgement over that of the birthers
And so do I.
However, was it really that difficult for the President to open his wallet and produce a BC?
I mean....really?
Nope. He intentionally held back to make people look silly.
And it worked.
