You said what I thought, I don’t want to get into a heated discussion.
Glad to see they have totally normal first names and not something weird like Ebony and Ivory.
Just because they are twins, it doesn’t mean they are of one race. I’m sorry to burst your bubble, but there are several races. It doesn’t mean anyone or anything is bad, it’s just the way things are.
I'll act as if you truly don't know that there is only one human species on earth; unless, of course, you are a Darwinist which takes races and creates a class system of races - ergo racism. Race is a misnomer, we are all of one color. People usually refer to those with darker skin as “black” and those with lighter skin as “white,” but it’s really not black and white! You see, we all basically have the same color of skin—brown. A pigment called melanin is largely responsible for determining skin shade and this pigment is brown. A lot of melanin in your skin is called “black” and a little bit of melanin is called “white.” But we actually aren’t white or black—we’re all shades of brown!
If anything, as far as humans are concerned, I should have put race in quotation marks to emphasize how it is a misnomer - me bad.
First, you originally used the term “race”, not species.
Second, you went automatically to “racism”. Why?
Third, the idea of differing races is still mainstream and it involves much more than just skin color.
Really beautiful.
Agree. Her sister looks like a bunny boiler.
nemine the genes. Do they look like the father?
My dad's parents....I never knew.
My mom's mother was Potawatomie,,my grandfather had blue eye's.
Thanks. I was hesitant to jump in, too.
Same here - blue eyes* and (when I was younger) much lighter hair. My parents and sibling had dark brown hair and brown eyes.
* Actually, nowadays, I'm told my eyes look more green, and I read that green eyes are really a variation of brown eyes (genetically).
But, as it turns out, it's also possible for two blue-eyed parents to have a brown-eyed child, although it's very, very rare. A few years ago, I read about it happening, and the child passed the paternity test.
I’ve long contended that “race” (at least these days) is nothing more than a social construct. I’d say these twins support that theory. They’re born of the same parents, and they share the same ancestral background - but people are identifying them as two different races.
My twin sister and I are similar in coloring to these girls — I have olive/dark skin, (had) very dark hair & brown eyes — my sister has very fair skin w/ freckles,(had) reddish hair and bright green eyes — our features are very similar, as are our kinetic behaviors, personalities and voices. Mom is 1/2 American Indian and Dad was Irish/Welsh/German — I got one side, sis got the other.
My kids are bi-racial, mixed white and Chinese. My youngest daughter looks mostly Asian, dark eyes and straight black hair. And her daughter (my granddaughter) has blond wavy hair, a pale-white complexion and green eyes (which she gets from my daughter's husband). People simply don't connect the two as being mother and daughter. My oldest daughter also looks Asian, and her two daughters (my granddaughters) look all Asian, despite having 3/4 white genes.
I've seen similar differences in friends' children. My nephew is pale white, his wife is black-American yet their two sons look white with pale skin; the black wife had problems crossing the border during a visit to Mexico because the authorities didn't believe they were her sons. It happens.
Repeat: Race is a misnomer, we are all of one color. I should have put race in quotation marks to emphasize how it is a misnomer - me bad.
Second, you went automatically to “racism”. Why?
Repeat: Darwinis[m,] ...takes "races" and creates a class system of "races" - ergo "racism."
Third, the idea of differing races is still mainstream and it involves much more than just skin color.
Repeat, again: Darwinis[m,] ...takes "races" and creates a class system of "races" - ergo "racism." It involves more than skin color? Sure, for those Darwinist who want the Bulkanization of the human species, they always look for differences over similarities. Mainstream? Only because Darwinism made the word "race" mainstream. But why should Darwinism define the terms? Don't you know the word they used for centuries before Darwinist philosophy coined "race"? If you don't, look it up!
And rewards. It all depends on whether it is good behavior or bad behavior. Frankly, as long as it is a monogamous marriage between a man and a woman that have babies, it will most likely be rewarded no matter what the "races" are of the parents. If it is a relationship that is outside these bounds - even if it has the same "races", most likely there will be bad consequences.
No "bubble" bursted here. Read posts 44 and 56. Sorry to burst yours.
The Ginger on the Left would make a nice Sister In Law...
Some to the worst possible conclusion; automatically thinking that there must be two fathers.
