[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When your white daughter and her white husband have a black baby...[/quote] and he grows up to be one of the most popular presidents in decades... [/quote] But Barack's dad was black. I meant one of those surprises when a black baby is born in a white family. I believe it happened to some people who "passed for whites" years ago...[/quote] A child of the passing couple in your hypothetic would never be darker than the darker parent. It's the hair and facial features that gave it away. This folktale was popular in the years following Reconstruction. Novels abounded with the grim story of a baby "as black as pitch" born to an ostensibly white couple. Doesn't happen. [/quote] This is not true. I’m mixed AA and it happens. It has happened in my family that babies were significantly darker than the darker parent. [/quote]
