Answer 1

No, they'll be coloured, its considered the one drop rule. Any bit of black in a person makes them black. Your kid will be black and theirs and theirs, forever. I'm sorry to hear it though. You seem nice enough.

Answer 2

Depends on the mix of genetics. Your children may be born white if you marry a white girl, but they'll still have the African American gene within them, and their children could possibly have whats called a 'throwback', where those characteristics that weren't apparent in the first generation, or even second generation become apparent from the original gene. There'd be a 1 in 4 chance of that happening in each child.

Example- both my parents are olive skinned with dark brown-black eyes. I was born with light green eyes and very light skin. I received a pair of throwback genes from my great grandmother, which has been carried by my mother but was not apparent in her or my grandmother, but apparent in me. I hope this makes some sense. Biology and genetics are hard to explain.

Whats the problem, though? African American skin is absolutely gorgeous. Why would you need to worry so much?

Answer 3

If your mother is black you are mixed raceor if she is mixed race you are quarter cast . If you are quarter cast and you had a baby with a white woman then yes the baby would come out close to white although your genes may be stronger and this could affect the childs hair type etc. If you are mixed race and had a baby with a white woman the baby would be quarter cast (the same complexion as Mariah Carey). It could also depend on how strong your genes are. Why call your mother a coloured woman? She is either black or mixed race. The word coloured is very dated and slightly offensive. Read the book Roots.

Answer 4

All kids are beautiful. If you want "pure white" you'll have to produce some albino children or something. ; ) If you marry a white person, then your kids will no doubt be light, or there genes may even favor the Caucasian side, but what's it matter? Aren't your mother's ancestors your ancestors to?

Edit: Look at it this way...if your kids come out a little tanner then "pasty" white kids, then they will be the envy of any pasty-white friends some day who will be trying so hard to get a tan in the summer. ; )

Answer 5

"Pure" white? What the heck does that mean? If you're simply talking about color, you say you already "pass", so you're likely to have "white" children if their mother is white. But you can't really predict how the skin color genes will express themselves, only calculate odds.

If you're talking blood-lines, it's simple math: If you are half black, your children would be 3/4 white if their mother was white, 1/4 white if their mother was black. But why are you so hung up on this? Why does it matter that you have "white" children?

Answer 6

In a bi-racial marriage the children can be no darker than the darkest parent. So if you marry a white woman it is possible to have a white child. If you are a little brown the child could be no darker than you, and odds are it would be lighter.

This is called adding cream to your coffee.

Answer 7

Your father married a colored woman? Don't you mean your mother? You sound as though you may be embarrassed to be biracial...I could be wrong though.

Your children will not be pure white (I don't think really anyone is pure white), but they may look it.

Answer 8

its all in genetices, I dont know if white is a dominate gene you can proabably google it but if it is and you marry a white girl I think you would have a good chance of having a white looking baby but i dont think it could be pure white because your mother isnt

Answer 9

*Chuckles* You're asking a science quesiton. According to Mendels genetic maping, it goes something like this- if what you've said is right.

You should have one child that is "white"

Two that are "brown"

one that is "dark"

Now, in which order? 50% chance of "brown", 25% chance of "white" or "brown"

Answer 10

It all depends on how strong your "coloured" mother genes are. If you had two kids, one who looked white and the other who looked "coloured", would you treat the white one better? If yes, maybe you don't need to have kids.....

Answer 11

the only way that you can have white children is if you have children with a white women.
