Yes. It would look exactly like Howdy Doody.
What the... I would imagine the child would have one of the parents hair colors.

The baby would be anything from totally white to rather dark (if things work out that way), for the simple reason that skincolour is dependent on your genes. If you paid attention in biology, you know that genes sort of "re-arrange" when combined, so probability for a skin colour somewhere in the middle is high - but there is absolutely no way of predicting how the baby would look like.
If the white girl has some black ancestors in her family, the baby might even turn out as pretty dark, if those genes are combined... ;)

Could be anything. They say like with eye and hair color if it has been in the last 6 generations, the baby could have it. Thats why every once and a while someone gets that one kid with red hair! Baby could be more white or black or a mix!

You never know. It could have any mix of the two people, including many things in both of your genes that are not noticeable on you. Me and two of my sisters have red hair, whereas neither of our parents did. It wasn't the milkman, though. Red hair runs in the family on both sides. Genes can skip generations. There is no way to predict what the kid will look like.

It could. It depends on the dominant and recessive genes of each parent. The half white boy still has white genes so it's definitely possible - especially since the mother is white.

Probably not unless one of parents had red hair and freckles.

It would definitely look more white than black.
3/4 White. 1/4 Black.
I'm not sure what it would work like though....

It could, but it all depends, The baby may favor his african genes more than his white genes or visa versa, or he may have black straight hair, might be kinky, shoot he could be albino for all we know. What do you think

Doubtful, but you never know.
