There is nothing A.Amer about these kids....yeah it does hold true that "you never know what you gonna get" (Hence the reason why when black people "passed" in the past, they adopted rather than have biological children), but there is not AA ethinicity showing in these children....Minorities have VERY definitive features and STRONG genes, ans as a result certain characteristics will show, whether you are super light (almost white) or super dark.
For example, I one was out to dinner and saw a biracial couple out with their children (Mother Black, Father White) and when I saw their daughter it was amazing to see the result of their union...From behind, the child had very blond hair, and very fair skin, when she turned around I saw that she had Blue eyes, but what stuck out to me were her obviouse AA features, She has a DISTINCT AA nose, hair texture and lips....
Amazing how those genes work.
Sorry, but your genes just don't skip 2 children, even if you are MJ.
My next door neighbor is African American and the father of her oldest son was white. Her son, Justin, has blonde hair and blue eyes and no A.American features whatsoever. I do however agree that the genes don't skip two children.
They don't "look that white" to me, either, but that is sooo subjective, I mean, what does "white" or "black" or "brown" look like?
Ask a thousand people about a thousand other people, and you will wind up with about four thousand answers!
Edit for an interesting (or soporific, depending on your point of view) linguistic note: In Spanish, and probably other languages that just don't spring to mind at the moment, usage of words describing people as blonde, brunette, white, black, etc, is frequently relative to the actual individuals being discussed - or present!
For instance, someone might be a brunette, or dark, or black, in one room at a party, walk into another room and become a blonde, light, or white, all depending on who is speaking, and who else is in each room!
check the videos from the 70s. Mike had an authentic afro. his hair is naturally curly (although I dont know what he is trying to prove with that long jheri curl he was sportin)
and his hair is a natural dark brown. those kids...not ONE of them have his hair texture OR color!! none of them have his skin color or anything. and BOTH Mike's parents are black. so there is no interracial thing going.
I am convinced those kids are not biologically his. since they are not, I wonder what make him think the media would care about them? look at Angie and Brad, the media gets a few shots on the adopted, but they go stir crazy when Shiloh is in the mix.
I never said that they HAD to have AA features....I was giving an illustration. Yes though, I also, know of individuals like the above. (some who are relatives), but the point I was trying to make, is that with the distinct genes that Mike had. (extreme AA features) there is NO way that those genes would skip 2 children. When you look at his brothers who have married White women, you see the melatonin in their skin and they all have very distinct Jackson looks, even though their color shading may be a little different.
I also agree with you. Part of the reason whey it is so evident that they ARE NOT his children is because of Mike's hatred of himself, and over the years how he has tried to erase his ethnicity. They are indeed his children, but I stand on the fact that they are not biologically his.
Also, I didn't quote you here Shimma, but I just wanted to say that normally when those features are not as obvious is when there is racial mixing in the genes of the AA parent. Which almost all African Americans have, but there is a good percentage of AA that have not mixed races over the years and their genes are closer to "pure African" (hate to use that here, maybe I should say "non diluted") Anyway, i think you all get my point...For example, Seal and Heidi Klum, you can tell his children are of biracial decent, also even though he is bi-racial, even Tiger Woods' child looks biracial. Mike ain't biracial, he's black, and those kids should have so color in them.
MJ was living in bahrain for a while and he used to come to the circuit ( where my parents work- its an F1 track) and my dad took him and his kids out on this hummer ride and my dad said that his kids were soooooo polite and very cute... so even if they have a weird uipbrinign at least they are being taught manners
Oof! I just got a little glow, kind of like when you get carded after you've turned 30.
So thank you for that, but I don't need to check the videos, I, um, remember them.
Yes, and he also had beautifully set round eyes and cheekbones to die for. The children's bone structure reminds me of his, although that should not be taken to mean that they just must be his then, or that I am asserting that they are, or that it is any of my business, or matters a cheneyfart whether they are or not.
Just saying that their bone structure reminds me of their father's original face.
Now THIS is actually much more relevant, not to mention good to read about, than any of our prattle (mine especially) with regard to the physical appearance and/or biological provenance of the children, nor useless arguments over what genetics will or will not do.
Genetics will do what they wish (though again, I make no claim that such a thing has happened in this case) and if whatever mechanism that decides these things when DNA is combined chooses to do something that one of us thinks it won't do, what then? Will it get written up in a formal report? Issued a ticket and ordered to pay a fine? Have its driver's license suspended?
