How Would You Feel If Your Child Was Black?

starbelgrade · 09-10-2011 02:28AM #1

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 · 09-10-2011 02:32AM

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

Colilfc · 09-10-2011 02:32AM

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

Mr. Rager · 09-10-2011 02:34AM

I would feel black

Keith186 · 09-10-2011 02:35AM

It'd fück up my feng shiu.

I wasn't planning on having a black kid.

I probably shouldn't have started this thread at 2.30am on a Saturday night!

Lash_Alert · 09-10-2011 02:37AM

Flush it

Oranage2 · 09-10-2011 02:37AM

I'm so PC I wouldnt even notice the kids colour -

epgc3fyqirnbsx · 09-10-2011 02:37AM

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

The parish basketball team are a bit of a shambles and the lad will be the next star of it.
All black children are great at basketball

Ginger, Black, Presediantial Candidate?
All suspect.
Give Hitler his due.
He wanted to be fair.

Praetorian Saighdiuir · 09-10-2011 02:46AM

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.

Lab_Mouse · 09-10-2011 02:47AM

I'd get seriously mad at genetics

I once saw a ginger been born into a long line of black haired people so these anomalies can happen

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

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

Lone Stone · 09-10-2011 02:51AM
