Couple Gives Birth to Twins: One Black, One White (03.25.11)

This couple consists of a black man and a white woman. They gave birth to twins. The uniqueness of the twins is that one was black and the other was white. The couple face discrimination  and are often asked questions like; Are they related, are you babysitting, are you sure they have the same father, and some even call the children mutts. It appears that discrimination is very loud in their lives today.

  1. I cannot understand this countries preoccupation with who you choose to love. It is embarrassing to think this is still an issue for people today. I am not a Christian, but what this church is doing doesn't ring very Christ like to me. Thank you for an excellent post. Sorry I meant to comment here earlier.

  2. I think I mentioned in class one dark skinned Hispanic student I had, and she married a white person. They had three kids, two blond and very light, and one darker. The stories she told about how she was treated when the kids were growing up are horrible, similar questions, "are you their nanny", "are they adopted", and kids used to ask her white kids "who is that ni@##er with you" during things like youth soccer practices and games.
