Orly Taitz: Obama's Long-Form Birth Certificate Should Say 'Negro' Not 'African'

In a development that will surprise no one, it turns out that President Barack Obama's decision to release his long-form birth certificate hasn't quieted members of the "birther" movement who promote the conspiracy theory that he wasn't born in the United States.

"Look, I applaud this release. I think it's a step in the right direction," so-called "birther queen" Orly Taitz told me in one of her many media interviews this morning. "I credit Donald Trump in pushing this issue."

But she still has her suspicions. Specifically, Taitz thinks that the birth certificate should peg Obama's race as "Negro" and not "African."

--snip--

Taitz says she's not giving up her fight. She also claims Obama isn't a "natural born citizen" because she uses a standard that requires both parents to be American citizens -- a misreading of the Constitution which if enforced would have rendered several other American Presidents ineligible.

45. It takes a while, but she likely will be. California attorneys who attended REAL
law schools are not going to look kindly upon her night-school legal education.

24. Born in '61--when "Negro" was not considered an antiquated term nor was it
necessarily a derogatory one. Yes, I sometimes heard it spoken with an inflection that suggested the speaker was thinking a different word starting with "n", but it was far more often used in neutral tones.

51. In my area the word negro had been replaced by black and yes the
first word was still heard but as something derogatory. Most of us would call anyone out anyone using it. I suppose there was a big difference between areas. If your area was dominated by racists then it is probably still common. Mine was not. But having said that - I grew up in NE Iowa where King is their representative. Things have not changed for the better in that area. One of the sad things in my life.

54. By the end of the 60's, I heard "black" used both nationally and locally, but towards the
beginning of the decade, "Negro" was still the most common non-derogatory term I heard, both on television and on the street. A lot changed in the mid-60's. Seeing all this birther crap, though, makes me realize there are still a lot of people who haven't changed nearly so much as they need to.

Since his father was actually from Africa, I don't see why anyone would be surprised at the use of "African", though.

52. She is - of Moldavia, former USSR
A year or more ago I read allegations that Orly had never been naturalized. The bio I read of her said she was "introduced" to Mr. Taitz while he was visiting Israel and that he arranged for her to come to the US to marry him. Even though they had dated only a couple of times while he was on vacation, she jumped at the chance to be able to become an American. Mr. Taitz was a native born Israeli if I remember correctly.

Anyway, the person making allegations about Orly said they had tried to find her naturalization papers and those of Mr. Taitz and that they could not find them in the appropriate court files.

27. The point of releasing the birth certificate isn't to stop Orly Taitz.
The point of releasing the birth certificate is to cut down on the number of followers these nutjobs have. And I think it will be successful in that goal. Sure, she's earned a core following that will remain loyal, but those numbers are going to decline fairly dramatically. And there is no longer any semblance of legitimacy for these people.

And frankly, long may she wave! It'll just make her look worse and worse and stupider and stupider and more racist and MORE racist. Same thing for her followers and fellow birthers. And it will provide proof of what and who they really are: RACISTS. Which will further divide and confuse and disrupt the enemy. They'll have to lug this millstone around for the rest of history. CERTAINLY into the next campaign (if we and others on OUR side are relentless about reminding people of it, that is).

to describe our President and get away with it.

Wonder if Rush will dust off "Barack the Magic Negro", sung to the tune of "Puff the Magic Dragon". That one was an "instant classic" in the "Racist, Ass-Pickle Hall of Fame".
