How Would You Feel If Your Child Was Black?

starbelgrade

Let's say that you & your partner are both white (a fairly high chance of this happening in Ireland)... you have a kid & it is born black.

There is no question of any infidelity in your relationship & it turns out that by a rather unusual (but definitely possible) biological quirk, that the pigment of an unknown black ancestor had lain dormant for generations and manifested itself in your offspring.

This is obviously a direct comparison to the "How would you feel if your child was gay?" thread and I'd be interested to see if anyone would have the same feelings as expressed in that thread - the feelings of devastation, or worries about discrimination, or is being discriminated as a kid different if it's for a different reason?

So, how would you feel if your child was black?

First off id want a DNA test, if it was mine then would have the coolest kid in class.

I doubt your partner would be too happy about that.

I'd feel like my missus was a cheating bitch and then when I found out it was just a genetic quirk I be delighted because my son would become a fabulously wealthy rapper.

Full.Duck

Well its either that or a black eye, one or the other.

Colilfc

Better than having a white child, because I for one, am not a racist.

Mr. Rager

I would feel black

It'd fück up my feng shiu.

I wasn't planning on having a black kid.

I'd feel like a north side dubliner.
Cos the Irish are the blacks of Europe.
And the Dubs are the Blacks of Ireland.
And the North Side Dubliners are the blacks of Dublin.
So say it once, say it proud.... ah f*ck it, there's always a chance of infidelity the bitch

Would be delighted

All black children are great at basketball

Hmmmmm,



If it's a boy.......then :mad:, because as soon as he's born he will have a cockadoodledo bigger than mine.


If it's a girl........then at least I can call her Shaniqua Laquanda Wavner the Third.

...and hopefully they will have head hair like a microphone.

Yeah, but hair colour is considerably different to skin colour.

Now a ginger black child, that'd be something.

I'd call it Houdini..... if it escaped from the black sack it was in and emerged from the river alive.

CoolHat

Its the classic story isnt it :P
White couple, black baby.

I know this is only a "what if" thread op :P But I have to be honest, if I gave a white girl a baby and that baby was black. I'd walk and never look back. It wouldnt be no biological quirk :P (what 000.01% chance? :pac: )

But imagine it :P
You love a girl, she says shes pregnant and you're going to be a daddy. 9 months later a black baby comes out? It would be enough for any man to hate women afterwards.

I have a black wife





Therefore I would be unsurprised

Not a possibility, Id never be with a northsider anyways.....

Reminds me of a couple on holidays this year, their son was chinese and they were Irish, nothing unusual there maybe they adopted. One night we were having a few drinks when the childs father told me that "seeing his son being born was the greatest day of his life"


His missus said she has been working for a chinese for the last few years. I think the poor fella ignored the fact his kid was chinese or blocked it out of his mind. Either way it wasn't his.

It would make colors day at school easy

He more than likely knows and accepts the child as his own. I know a family in that situation (but easier in that the child is the same ethnicity as the parents). From day one the husband knew the child wasn't his but he said he loved his wife, wanted to stay with her and bring up the child as his own.

I couldn't do it, I could never love someone else's child as my own, especially if it was because my wife was cheating. Id probably hate the child, so the only path forward would be to dump the wife.

Maybe it was a reference to the All Blacks; maybe it was about a child who 'tans' easily: white during the winter, very dark, relatively speaking, during the summer. (Though not this summer, obviously)

Are we talkin will smith black or wesley snipes black?

Since you mentioned the gay child thread OP, you could try this. I suspect it might not work in this instance however.

Jaysus, the amount of stereotype sh*te in this thread is astounding.

I'd feel gutted at how much I'd end up spending on this stuff.
