My son is black. I am white, my girlfriend is white. I didn't know this was possible for two white people to have a black child, or is it? I have asked my black milkman who is close to both myself an my wife, and he assures me it is perfectly normal, but I;'m not sure....

haha good one, i thought this was a serious question until i read the milkman part. but honestly this can and has happened a few years there was a very high profile court case where a married couple had black twins and the husband accused the wife of having an affair so she brought him to court etc etc and it turned out that the husband had black ancestors from a hundred years before or something anyway so the wife one the kids were proven to be his so there goes your joke out the window sorry!!!! haha

Depends on your ancestry - there has to be a black person's genes in there somewhere. The way a person's genes are made up from that of their parents means that you can carry genetic information, but don't display that characteristic yourself. So if you or your partner have a black grandparent between you, then yes it can happen.
Ryan Giggs is one of the most famous examples of this phenomenon - despite his outward appearance, he is a black man.
If you don't have any such heritage, the milkman may worth a closer look - but perhaps your wife has already given him the once over?

It may be that you or your wife have a black heritage and it has just made itself known through your son. It can and does happen, but it also doesn't mean it has happned in your case. If both of you are 100% sure that there is no way that anyone in your family histories have a trace of "black blood" then you may want to take a paternity test to prove that you are/are not the child's father.

Hilarious. It's NOT yours. It's the milkmans'. You should go ahead and find a black milk woman and see what comes out.

Depends on whether any other family members are black or not (grandparents etc). If not, perhaps you should speak to the milkman again. he might know more than hes letting on!

It is possible for genes to skip a generation, but only if there is black blood in your heritage or your wife's. If neither of you have black history, then no, it is not possible for you son to be black!
I suggest you get a paternity test asap!
