Sorhors,

This very same situation happened to one of our sorhors in the Northeast Region. Her boyfriend messed around with this caucasian girl and she ended up pregnant. Well the child was born with blue eyes, blonde hair, and vary fair skin. The sorhor's man is blue-black with dark brown eyes. He took care of the kid for 15-months before the white girl fessed up and told the truth. Homeboy still continues to keep ties with the girl and the child. So M.J. isn't the only one determined to live a lie. I don't understand why some folks are so ashamed of the way that God made them.

Look at Victoria Rowell's daughter. She looks white.

Victoria Rowell/Drucilla is half-white herself, but Michael is all black. I can see in her case why her child looks white.

Speaking of genes and everything..........

I found this article in today's local paper

Descendants of slaves find roots via DNA

Maybe back down the line ol' Mike had some folks from Sweden!!

biography


Victoria Rowell
Birthdate: 10th May, 1960 Born: Portland, Maine
Children: Maya and Jasper


When Victoria was just 16 days old her and her two sisters Sheree and Lori were given away by their white birth mother, Dorothy Rowell, who has also had 3 sons by different fathers who bought them up, they were Norman, David and Keith. She never knew her father or anything about him except his last name is Wilson and he lives in Washington involved in the real-estate business.

She was then left to survive 5 foster homes, ending up on Lebanon, Maine with Robert and Agatha Armstead along with her two sisters. Whilst living here she started ballet at the age of 8 and after an audition she received a ford foundation scholarship to study at the Cambridge school of ballet. She also received scholarships to the School of American Ballet, The American Ballet Theatre and the Dance Theatre of Harlem. She then became a ballet dancer at the age of 17.

Her Foster Mother passed away, aged 79 making Victoria feel very alone. She then did some modelling and teaching of performing arts before going into acting in New York.
She then married Tim Farley and her daughter, Maya.
Shortly after Maya's birth, she was asked to audition for the Young and the Restless and it was during that time she was going through a divorce with her ex-husband, Tim Farley. When she got there she could not find a baby-sitter and arrived at the audition with only minutes to spare, her bad mood and subsequent temper lead her to get the part of Drucilla.

Victoria won the NAACP image award as outstanding actress in daytime drama series in 1993 and 1994. Shortly afterwards she then set up her charity for children between 8 and 13, which allows 10 girls to attend ballet classes once a week and gives them something to look forward to in their lives, as she knew what this felt like. Her charity was called the Rowell Foster Children's Fine Arts Scholarship Fund.

Since then she has been maintaining a long distance relationship with jazz player Wynton Marsalis and he was the father of her second child Jasper who plays CJ in Diagnosis Murder.

From the interviews I have seen, Mariah says she is part black (and wouldn't she know), and I thought her father was Brazilian, but regardless, there are black Brazilians and Panamanians. Notice I said black and not African-American, although African-South (or central) American would still technically be African-American....

Uh, can you say diaspora??!!! I knew you could...

For some reason, I have yet to see a non-black Panamanian (maybe it's because I live in Brooklyn ). All of my friends who have Panamanian roots look just like me - any other black female.

FeeFee,

Thanks for the refresher African-African American history lesson about Africans living in the diaspora. You just reminded me of my days at Univ. of Delaware sitting in Dr. Newton's BAS 110 course learning about the folks and the decents of the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

I understand genetics and all and how children can have different features from the parents everytime I look at my children. However, I think maybe he dyed the boy's hair.

He does dye that boys hair....you could see the black roots on the last special.

Damn shame
