Hmmmm, well that is certainly an interesting spin. Lets see what African Americans have to say, shall we?

Hmmm, seems they are on my side.
The birther movements beginning is well understood as originating from Hillary's vicious supporters.
Here's what factcheck has to say:

But none of those stories suggests any link between the Clinton campaign, let alone Clinton herself, and the advocacy of theories questioning Obama’s birth in Hawaii.
One of the authors of the Politico story, Byron Tau, now a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, told FactCheck.org via email that “we never found any links between the Clinton campaign and the rumors in 2008.”
As to it originating in her supporters, there is some mileage in that but Hillary distanced herself and the campaign from those supporters (unlike Trump who is slow to condemn or indeed embraces the bigots and white supremacists among his supporters).
