Black parents shocked when son was born white
2013-07-29
[SOWETANLIVE.CO.ZA] A black couple told this week of their shock and mystification when their son was born with white skin and blond hair.

Francis Tshibangu admitted: 'My first thought was "Wow, is he really mine?".'
"Francis, I hate to tell you this, but you're not the father."
Congo-born Francis and his wife Arlette already have a two-year-old boy, Seth, whose features reflect his African parentage.

"Well, I'd say that about 9 months ago, your wife had sex with a white man."

#4  On the other hand, my dad had a brother 4 years younger than he, who resembled him strongly, same build, facial features expressions, with one difference. Dad had brown eyes, black hair & dark-complected, he was nicknamed "Indian" for this, although he was Polish. His brother had blue eyes, blond hair & fair skin. The basic difference in their appearance was the color scheme, otherwise they strongly resembled each other.

#2  I hope he is not kidnapped by some sangoma. Albinism is a curse in certain parts of Africa.

#1  Play a little accordion music, check for reaction, if reaction is positive try a few binomial equations on the tyke. Then the Twinkie test just to make sure.
