Black Nigerian couple births a non-albino white baby?!?!

[HumblePie]

"What the flip?" - father's quote is appropriate here.

This happened a couple of days ago and I'm surprised no one listed the story.

Gist is that a couple living in Britain who are both of very dark skinned Nigerian decent gave birth to a little white girl with wavy blonde hair and blue eyes. The girl is not albino either. Both parents deny white ancestry, but so far that's the only explanation scientists can come up with.

The story is a bit funny when you read the reactions of the couple's other children.

I'm guessing they will find out either the babies were mixed up at the hospital or the mother had other partners.

The odds that both parents had that specific gene and it was activated and that it caused the change in birth has to be very very high. I doubt even vegas would give bets on that.

This is how we originally got different skin tones. AFAIK it started with Abraham's sons. When God created Adam and Eve (middle-eastern skin tones) they contained all the genetic material for the people we have now.

ahh but the thing is, even if the mother had fooled around with a white man, the baby would not turn out like this normally. Usually they are mixed in color with the darker genes being predominate for darker hair and eyes.

She also has non of the racial traits of being a black child. The thing is it was a Caecarian birth and they were all there for the birth so I doubt the child was mixed up when they saw it coming out white

Was conception natural or was something like IVF used?

It was a caesarian? Well that's really remarkable then.

WHAM BAM! SAM CAM TO BE MAM (SHE'LL NEED A NEW PRAM) (23 March 2010) - The Sun reacts to the news that Conservative Party leader David Cameron's wife Samantha Cameron is pregnant

I love how our (American) ignorance of tabloid British news sources causes belief in such erroneous "headlines."

The Weekly World News cause the same thing to happen in The UK?

Yep, the Sun is part of the same "news" group as Fox.

Has Al gore been in nigeria recently?

I'm not sure about that. I don't think the Sun has eaten any babies or lynched any undesirables lately.

Doesn't look like they're just quoting the Sun story.
