I Hate People

Caught in another lie?


It was brought to light that back in 1961 people of color were called
'Negroes.' So how can this 'birth certificate' state he is
'African-American' when the term wasn't even used back then??
Here is a comment from a reader to George Ure at UrbanSurvival. Com :
"As you all know, Donald Trump made a big deal about Obama's birth
certificate.
I will tell you right now that I had never given this "birther" issue
any credit. I watched the hype and the crazies come out. I completely
dismissed the entire ordeal altogether.
In fact, it was not until the White House released the birth certificate
that it had gained my attention. I am the studious sort of guy, and I
have plenty of time on my hands. So, I took a close look at this
document.

While I would have thought that this issue would have been closed for
good (and, got the crazies to crawl back into their holes), I found two
extremely strange inconsistencies that merit some attention.
Frst of all, the birth certificate that the White House released lists
Obama's birth as August 4, 1961. It also lists Barack Hussein Obama as
his father. No big deal, right? At the time of Obama's birth, it also
shows that his father is aged 25 years old, and that Obama's father was
born in " Kenya , East Africa ".
This wouldn't seem like anything of concern, except the fact that Kenya
did not even exist until 1963, two whole years after Obama's birth, and
27 years after his father's birth. How could Obama's father have been
born in a country that did not yet exist?
Up and until Kenya was formed in 1963, it was known as the "British East
Africa Protectorate". But, this is not the only thing that I found that
just does not jive.
The other item that I looked into was the hospital that Obama was born
in. On the birth certificate released by the White House, the listed
place of birth is "Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital".
This cannot be, because the hospital(S) in question in 1961 were called
"KauiKeolani Children's Hospital" and "Kapi'olani Maternity Home",
respectively.
The name did not change to Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital
until 1978, when these two hospitals merged. How can this particular
name of the hospital be on a birth certificate dated 1961 if this name
had not yet been applied to it until 1978?
Go ahead, look it up. I am not talking crazy talk, these are the facts.
Like I said, I thought that this was a non-issue until the actual
certificate was released. Now that it has been released, of course I had
to look into it. I have found these issues, now I know that something is
up. If you doubt me, just look at the following resources:
Sure as hell, the hospital part is true, as you can read about the 1978
merger here.

Post-colonial history (from Wikipedia)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenya



The first direct elections for Africans to the Legislative Council took
place in 1957.

Despite British hopes of handing power to "moderate" African rivals, it
was the Kenya African National Union (KANU) of Jomo Kenyatta that formed
a government shortly before Kenya became independent on 12 December
1963, on the same day forming the first Constitution of Kenya.

Hello Ogden, this is Heather [last name]. I am the assistant here at [gallery name]. I think I found some inaccuracies in the email you sent.

1. Barack Obama's birth certificate does not state his race at all. It does state the races of his father and mother.

2. The name "British East Africa Protectorate" was used from 1895 to 1920. From 1920 to 1963 it was called the Kenya Colony, until the Republic of Kenya was formed in December of 1963. The listing of "Kenya, East Africa" on Obama's birth certificate is certainly shortened, but not inaccurate, as the box description calls for "Birthplace (Island, State or Foreign Country)."

3 . I looked up Kapi'olani Maternity and Gynecological Hospital and found this link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapiolani_Medical_Center_for_Women_and_Children
According to the timeline on that page, the hospital was given the aforementioned name in 1931.
Quoting the site now, with info found under the heading Kapiʻolani Hospital:
"In 1939, after purchasing the adjacent Spalding property south of the hospital on Punahou Street, the Spalding home was converted into a nurses' home named the Kekaulike Nurses' Home."
"In 1961, (August 4), President Barack Hussein Obama II was born in the hospital."
"In 1971, its name was changed to Kapiʻolani Hospital."
Further down the timeline, under a separate heading for Kapiʻolani Medical Center for Women and Children:
"In 1976, Kapiʻolani Hospital and Kauikenolani Children's Hospital began a protracted, decade-long merger."
"In 1978, Kauikeolani Children's Hospital moved into the new eleven-story (226-bed, 108-bassinet) Kapiʻolani/Children's Medical Center."
That's a whole lot of information, but in short, the information in your email about the dates and corresponding name changes of the hospital appear to be incorrect.

If you have further information to provide on these points, with the aim of clarifying them, I look forward to reading it. In every endeavor I search for the truth, no matter what it looks like.

Sincerely,
Heather [last name]
