Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she had to become the mother of everyone living.” (Gen. 3:20)
The apostle Paul confirmed this by saying: “From one man he [God] created all races of mankind.” (Acts 17:26)
This indicates that the first pair were created with the power to produce the different races and skin hues that now exist.
In his book The Races of Mankind, Professor R. Benedict wrote: “The races of mankind are what the Bible says they are—brothers.”

Well first of all it doesn't say anywhere in the Bible that Adam and Eve were white. If you read the bible and read all of those areas where people were located, you would read about Egypt, Africa, Iraq, Iran, etc. The majority of the people if you know anything about these countries, they are people of a darker race, the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve were is near Africa, If you continue to read on you will also hear about Greeks, Ethiopians, again these are all a Darker Race of people. If you really need to know as you stated, then maybe you should pick up a Bible and read,

Who told you that Adam and Eve were white? In fact, there is a tribe in Africa today with all of the genetic traits of ALL human races. Those traits broke up as mankind spread out into the various microclimates around the world.

I have a feeling you're very young so I'll be gentle. Adam and Eve is not meant to be taken literally. As for the origin of race we probably all started out in Africa and adapted to our climates. The hotter the climate and the more sun, the deeper the pigmentation you needed to have. I think we are all African in our oldest heritage. Adam and Eve weren't assigned a race in the Bible. Lots of Hebrews but no official race for Adam and Eve.

If these Christians can't come up with a truthful answer, they'll gladly make up one, that they believe another immature person will buy into.
4ever@muslimah------Your god created heavens and earth, yet when it came to creating man, he suddenly needed raw materials; --and he couldn't come up with an "Eve"without taking one of "Adam's" ribs.----Do his "powers" come and go?

Adam and Eve is religious fiction, so don't expect it to make any sense.

When Allah created Adam, He sent an angel to the earth to collect soil from every part of the earth. The soils were a mixture of colours and thus resulted in the mixture of the colours of people today.
http://www.angelfire.com/on/ummiby1/adam.html
Abi Musa al Sha'arai narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Allah created Adam from a handful of dust taken from different lands, so the children of Adam have been created according to the composition of the land. Therefore from mankind we have white, red, black and yellow ones; we have good and evil, ease and sorrow, and what comes in between them." (Sahih al Bukhari).
Ibn Masud and other companions of the Prophet (PBUH) said that Allah the Almighty sent Gabriel onto the earth to said that Allah the Almighty sent Gabriel onto the earth to get Him clay therefrom. The earth said: "I seek refuge in Allah from your decreasing my quantity or disfiguring me." So Gabriel returned and did not take anything. He said: "My Lord, the land sought refuge in You and it granted."
So Allah sent Michael for the same purpose, and the land sought refuge with Allah and it was granted. So he went back and said to Allah what Gabriel has said before him.
Then Allah sent the Angel of Death, and the land sought refuge in Allah, the angel said: "I also seek refuge with Allah from returning without carrying out His command." So he took clay from the face of the earth and mixed it. He did not take from one particular place, but rather he took white, red, and black clay from different places.
The Angel of Death ascended with it, Allah soaked the clay till it became sticky. Then Allah said to the angels: "Truly, I am going to create man from clay. So when I have fashioned him and breathed into him (his) soul created by Me, then you fall down prostrate to him." (Chapter 38:71-72 Quran).
So Allah shaped Adam into a human being, but he remaineda figure of clay for 40 years. The angels went past him. They were seized with fear by what they saw, and Iblis felt fear most. He used to pass by the figure of Adam, buffeting it, which would make a sound like pottery. Allah told us: "He created man (Adam) from sounding clay like the clay of pottery." (Chapter 55:Quran).
