Clearly, this is a mixed bag. You never know what you will get.

These kids are neither White/Black, they’re them, mixed/biracial/whatever you’d like to label it. They are uniquely them.

Plus, less progressive societies usually, incorrectly, believe the man has the stronger genes. So this isn’t even a widely held belief. A common belief is that the father decides the race, which is stupid.

No! Genetics are a roll of the dice.

Regardless, just love the kids.

On the flip side, Serena Williams and her husband, Alexis Kerry Ohanian, their children (she had another baby) are lighter in skin tone:
