THE BIRACIAL - BLACK AND WHITE TWINS. The occasional sensational stories of the "Black and White Twins: Born a minute apart", are really just overblown reports on siblings who, because of normal genetic variations, have different complexions. That the public feels empowered to declare that two infants born to the same mother and father are actually different races says a lot about how many people give racial identity more credit for being objective than it deserves. Here is the story of Kian and Remee, The Black and White twin sisters, born just a min apart. The pair owe their appearance to a one in a million combination of their parents’ genes. Mother and father both have white mothers and black fathers. The startling result is a two-tone set of delightful little girls. They first attracted international attention when they were featured less than a year old. Their mother recalls the moment she saw them for the first time: ‘I noticed that both of them had beautiful blue eyes,’ she said. ‘But while Remee’s hair was blonde, Kian’s was black and she had darker skin. To me, they were my and they were just normal. I thought they would start to look the same as time went on. Time, however, only accentuated their differences. Kian’s eyes changed color and her skin got darker. Remee’s complexion got lighter and her curly hair stayed blonde ". Perhaps unsurprisingly, their mother found herself fielding questions about whose they were, or who Kian’s fair-haired friend was, when she pushed them in their side-by-side buggy. "People looked at them doubtfully and asked lots of questions about them. It's kind of irritating me at first, but it was only strangers or outsiders who didn't know". MILLION TO ONE BABIES. The odds of a mixed race couple having twins of different colors are a million to one. Skin color is believed to be determined by up to seven different genes working together. If a parent is of mixed race, their eggs or sperm will contain a mixture of genetic codes for both black and white skin. However, if both the egg and sperm contain all white genes, the baby will be white. And if both contain just the versions necessary for black skin, the baby will be black. Kian and Remee have almost the same character, the same likeness and they get on very well. They do not bother about the color thing at all. They are just themselves. They do not see what everyone else sees. Another pair of biracial twins, which is so rare comparing to normal identical and un-identical twins. Lucy and Maria, the black and white twin sisters from England, whose father is white and whose mother is Jamaican. It's just the most recent story of fraternal twins born with such dramatic variations in complexion they're seen by many — and even see themselves — as members of two different racial groups. When people first see Lucy and Maria, they can tell that the two young women are strikingly pretty. What they can't tell is that Lucy, who has fair skin and ginger hair, and Maria, who is dark-skinned with black hair, are actually biological twins. But even though it is possible for an interracial couple to give birth to biracial babies, it is incredibly rare, which is why it was a huge surprise for the mother when her newborns were handed to her looking nothing alike. But she was certain the twins were her own babies and accepted their differences. Lucy and Maria have embraced the fact that their totally un-identical twin look is precisely what makes them unique and really cool. "Maria loves telling people at college that she has a white twin – and "I'm very proud of having a black twin," Lucy said. And one of the great things about having a twin who looks completely different is that people do not mistake them for one another. These kinds of twins are so rare in the world and it has eventually inspired me to post my blog on this topic today. Below are a few pictures of the biracial twins, hoping my blog will please you. Thanks for your interest in reading it. Lisa.              |

Lisa, MLLD. A highly informative blog. Thanks Lisa for the well written piece. Shakespeare has rightly said, "there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than you’ve even dreamed of." THE BIRACIAL - BLACK AND WHITE TWINS are examples of two diverse beauties. Lisa, I could not differentiate which one is more beautiful amongst the twins of each picture you have uploaded! Could anyone tell us? Best wishes Lisa,MLLD. Have a nice weekend.

Hi Lisa: What an interesting blog and loved all those pics. I've never heard of this happening before. Every time I see a mixed race couple I think we are one step closer to the day when racism and questionnaires asking what race a person is will finally be over.

Hi MBN, Looklook Each time I try to find an expressive word to thank you for your usual visit and for your meaningful comments which please me so much. Thanks also for the nice Shakespeare's quote. Oh yes MBN, we shall never stop acquiring knowledge throughout our life in this incredible world. Are you teasing me with that question of yours??, my answer for it is: I do love each of them, because the are all cute and offspring of those happy parents. One's eyes may see one more beautiful than the other but in the eyes and heart of their mother, all her kids are beautiful, just as would any other mother in the world. Thanks again MBN, your visit is always pleasure. Have a blessed weekend Looklook. Wishing you well and happy always. YLLD, Lisa.

Lucas hi, Welcome to my blog again, it is such a pleasure reading from you and thank you for your visit and your wonderful comments too. Yes, that's so true, as I also said above, it's the wish of God to prove us that skin color doesn't matter that all babies are beautiful whether black or white, it's only the epidermis. God has proved us that he can do miracles which no one may expect. I really enjoyed seeing all these biracial kids, so innocent and of pure and clean hearts too. This is surely a message from God as well. God has no color but he is our Almighty God, he can do wonders which we humans would never be able to do by ourselves. Praise be to our Almighty God. Thank you again Lucas, I was glad reading you on here. Have a blessed weekend. Lisa.

This was one of the most fascinating posts I ever read, Lisa!!! I had never heard of twins being 2 different colors. It does make sense but I've never seen any such twins. I enjoyed looking at the pictures too. Thanks so much for putting up this topic. Elaine Shuel
