    Remember what the Democrat party goal is. They do not care what color skin a potential voter has. All they care about is winning. They use the poorest, dumbest, sickest, black and brown people, not because they are black and brown but because they are poor, dumb, and sick. Oh, the real winner is they come, mostly, from third world, authoritarian nations. They accept Democrat corruption as they have known nothing else.

    The Democrats had to do this as white, middle-class traditional Americans do not reliably vote for Democrats.

    Let's face it. The Democrats have won.

    That's because the Hispanic gene is evolving lighter.

In the context of America, there are very few people with dark skin that don't have a mixed genetic history, so if you mix the genes of someone who has no or almost no genetic history that includes dark skin with someone with a mixed set of genes, you won't end up with a very dark skinned child. That doesn't make genes for light skin any less recessive, it just means that there are more recessive genes than dominant genes. Also, you should be aware of the fact that skin tends to darken over time, so what may seem to be a light-skinned baby or toddler born of a mixed couple, will not remain that light skinned.

    Take note though it's barely detectable in your photo, "BUT," both offspring are lighter than the mother.

    The important thing to note is in virtually every case the offspring are always lighter. In very few if any instances are any of the offspring darker than either parent. If they should be in very rare circumstances, it's because the family tree is lopsided with the black gene. But it has to be very lopsided to produce offspring darker than either parent.

    Yet collectively one looks much darker than dad while the other maybe half way. So at the first generation level this photo would appear to NOT support the OP at all

    I see. So with numbers of generations children would get lighter? We shall see, you may well be right. But right now I see a lot of brown. In fact so far we see a lot of racially ambiguous people. Is she hispanic? Mollto? Some ME , maybe? I don't know but I do know mixed race adult women seem to have the "hot gene" pretty often.
    At one time I felt that a melding of color would decrease hatred, bigotry and discrimination but I now understand human nature much better and know that there will always be some hate which the power players can exploit as a tool.
    Does anyone remember the Star Trek Episode ( Original ST of course) where a planet was inhabited by two races , both had faces that were half black and half white. But they hated each other based upon which half was white or black.

    As I noted, skin color darkens as a child ages, so both of those children will eventually be darker than they were at birth.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

    It would be a mistake to assume that just one case is emblematic of all; so I wish to be cautious here.

    But when I was in the supermarket a few days ago, I saw a light-skinned black lady (we used to use the term "mulatto" in such cases) with an infant; and he appeared white. (Presumably, the father was white.)

    Again, one should not take this as being certainly representative of all; and perhaps someone else's experience has been different.

    I know about that. It's an old OB joke that dad may not know he's not dad for a few hours. Or something like that. But how long does the process continue for?

    Well said . In this case the child could well be 3/4 white or more though. Or the woman might not be mom? But it is an interesting point. With all the potential factors perhaps we are not sure how long term "inter breeding" will turn out.
    I however, despite my age am willing to join a related study as long as I have no child care roles. LOL. I AM too old for that! I'm pretty damn white , so I'd make a good baseline.
