Only if you consider the absence of something the “default” setting. The default setting of your car tires is to not have air in them? Not if you want to USE your car.

No, black babies are born black. They may well darken over time; but they come out dark skinned.

Either way, white skin is caused by mutations in the fully functioning system that would cause the skin to be black.

That is true if you believe in natural selection of genetic variation, or that the genome can only ‘de-evolve’ over time.

Either way, white skin is caused by rendering nonfunctional a system that would turn the skin black.

I myself render no value judgment upon this, but according to creationist “logic” it would mean that blacks are the ‘more perfect’ humans ‘the way God intended’ and white skin would have to be the result of the fall of mankind and the resulting degradation of all things.

The absence of color is black.

So why are the souls and palms of black people, white?
