Barack Obama- black father/white mother

Halle Berry- black mother/white father
Trajan Langdon- black mother/white father
Mariah Carey- black and hispanic father/white mother
Mike Bibby- hispanic mother/black and white father
Gerald Green- black father/white mother
I don't know were you get your info, but neither of Cory Bookers parents are white. And I don't think Gerald Greens parents are either. Just because a black person is light skin doesn't mean they have a white parent.

Halle Berry's parents were the opposite: white mother, black father.

You say this like you think he might actually be Tom's biological son? What gives?

If he is dating you long term. He probably already thought of the possibilities of having a mixed child. I will go against the thought that men would sleep with a different race of woman. But wouldn't harbor any resentment towards her race. Men do this all of the time. But the second head usually wins out initially.
Been trying to figure out the point of this thread - thanks!

Yes, myself and lots of other people believe that he is. Maybe Tom will publicly admit it one day, but I hope at least Connor knows the truth.

Check out this thread; it has pix of the two.

When I first saw pictures of Cruise and his son, I never knew Connor was supposedly adopted. I always thought they were biological dad and son. When I read that Tom had adopted Connor I was very surprised.

This is true. Any real man is only going to see love for "His" children. No ones going to step up and support your children like you can and will as a good father! Dead beats not included!

If I fell in love with a black woman it wouldn't stop me from wanting to have children with her. I may consider the options of where I lived to that of a more culturally accepting community. The communities that don't should die on the vine.

I wonder if a question like this only gets asked in America. I am Dominican and we have people all skin tones you can imagine. We are all mixed. My dad is what we consider to be "white" and my mom is "black." My dad loves me regardless. In fact, people have said since I was born that I look just like him. My grandmother (my dad's mom) is even "whiter" than my dad, and she loves me to death. My brother has two sons, one of them is his skin tone (brown?) and the other one is "white" like my sister-in-law, one of them even has blue eyes. Does my brother love one of them more than the other? I am sure he does not. If any of you see my family on New Year's day (we all a whole bunch of loud Dominicans, lol), some might think that we are not related as we go from the lighest to the darkest.

I guess I am having a hard time grasping some of these "race related" threads because where I am from seeing people of different skin stones together, getting married and having kids is just part of everyday life.

To the OP, if this question is for real, common sense tells me that if a man of a different race is willing to date me seriously and/or marry me, having mixed children is not a problem. Good parents love their children regardless of what color they might be.
