if i marry a black woman, is there a chance my children will look black or white, or will they just be mixed?

Answer 1

I am assuming you are white. You didn't state your race, but with a mixed kid you never know. Your kid could come out looking completely white or completely black, but more than likely, they will come out looking like a mixed child. There are all types of possibilities.

Answer 2

Any of the 3.

Answer 3

It shouldn't matter. You love the black woman you are with, and I hope that you love yourself. I am married to a white man and we have two children. One has hair like white people, and the other has hair like the singer Alicia Keys. One is very handsome with a complexion like Halle Berry and the other one looks very attractive like the actor Terrance Howard who played in the movie crash. They both look tan to me. Neither one of them is just dark, and neither is just all white. No matter what we still love them dearly. What I am trying to say is it shouldn't matter as long as you love them for whatever color they come out to be. It may be true what everyone is saying in some cases but who cares. It should not be a big deal to affect you.

Answer 4

my Newphew is Mixed (Japanese and White) and he looks like a mix of the two. Generally this is the case but sometimes If the woman is of a very light skin tone the children may appear white, or if very dark toned would appear black. at birth the child will be light (or at least lighter) toned and then develope color later, this usually the case with mixed and/or black babies.

Answer 5

The Black gene is much more dominent than the white gene. Thats why 90% of biracial children come out lookin more black than they do white. Its very rare that you see a biracial child with stringy hair its normaly curly .Or light blue eyes. The chances of your child having long stringy hair and and white women features especially considerin the fact that the mother would be african american is slim to none.

Answer 6

black genes are dominant and white are recessive. In other words the genes for dark skin and dark eyes and hair are dominant and genes for curly hair are also dominant. Genes for white skin, light eyes and hair are recessive, also genes for straight hair are recessive, so most likely you will have a black looking child, however, if your black partner has a recessive gene for any of the above it is possible that the child will look mixed, or have some black and some white features.

Answer 7

Have you looked around at society lately. There is absolutely no way of telling what they're going to look like. Regardless of how they look if you're white and she's black the children will be mixed. But who cares what they look like they're going to be your children, care more about them being healthy.

Answer 8

They can be mixed, some can be black, and some can be white. It's a matter of dominant or recessive traits that can contribute to the engineering of your children's genes.

Answer 9

Mixed
In 2000, The Sunday Times reported that "Britain has the highest rate of interracial relationships in the world".[1] Apparently contradicting this, more recent census data shows the population of England (as a sub-section of the UK) to be 1.3% mixed-race (2001), compared with, for example, 1.4% in the U.S. (2002 estimates; see below). However, as most of the English population is of one race (white)—even more so than in the US—there are fewer opportunities for interracial relationships in England. In support of the report's conclusions, it can be calculated that 14.4% of English residents not identified as white are mixed-race, compared with 7.5% in the U.S.

The mixed race population of Canada, at 1.2%, is the fourth largest group in the country, greater than the Filipino population.

Censuses notwithstanding, any count of numbers of mixed-race people is subject to dispute. People may identify themselves as members of one single racial category despite having (potentially many) ancestors belonging to other categories, for various reasons. For instance, genetic studies of black Caribbean people show an ancestry that is on average 10% European and 90% African.[2] Also, a considerable portion of the U.S. population identified as Black actually have some Native American or European American ancestry. Up to one third of White Americans may have African ancestry. Much of these categorization phenomena occur due to current or past cultural stereotyping or segregation.

Multiracial individuals are often presumed to have an identity crisis because of not being able to answer questions such as "Are you Black or White?", perhaps due to having a sense of identity that is very different than people who claim to be of just one race. Most multiracial people cannot or do not identify with just one group. To complicate this further is a common phenomenon of a mixed race person not being 'claimed' by any of the ethnicities that run in their veins. Example: a mixed Black and Asian person may be called "Asian" by the Black Community, but then called "Black" by the Asian community. The person may be called different things by different groups, thereby making it nearly impossible to have one singular answer to the oft-asked question, "What are you?"

Answer 10

Black friends have told me that most non-African blacks have a mixed racial heritage, regardless of their skin tone. This causes the skin tone of their kids to be more variable than one might guess - sometimes significantly lighter or darker than the parents.

Based on that, I would guess your kids could range from light to as darker or even a bit darker than your s/o.

Why is this a question for you? Are you worried your kids will resent having to deal with prejudices?

Find someone you love and be color-blind about it. Your kids and your life will be much better with someone you truly love and are compatible with than with someone chosen because they are socially "convenient".
