not quite new anymore, but interesting nonetheless!
THE stunned black dad of a newborn, WHITE, baby girl declared yesterday
THE stunned black dad of a newborn, WHITE, baby girl declared yesterday
Ben told yesterday how he was so shocked when Nmachi was born, he even joked: "Is she MINE?"
aww she's sooooo cute
maybe her parents have like recessive white skin/blonde hair traits
For some reason, I suspect he wasn't completely joking.
This is not an unusual case. In fact, it could happen to anyone - although it's extremely rare.
It simply means that two recessive genes from both sides of the parents merged, and the child was born. Seriously - we're not all "White" or all "Black." We're all mixtures of different cultures. And when those genes get together...yup, this can happen.
