--- Quote from: WestCoastJTF on April 24, 2007, 01:31:26 PM ---I'm sorry, but this is nonsense.  You're referring to the long-discredited belief in "telegony".  The idea of "telegony" is that if a white woman has sex with a black man and has a child with him, and then has sex with a white man, the second child might also have black characteristics.

This is easily disproved and is utterly false.  It's simple genetics.  The male and female chromosomes come together and whatever happened in the past is utterly irrelevant.

Hello.

I think what the writer meant was that a person with at least one black person in their family history has the chance of being born pure-black.  We have seen examples of biracial people giving birth to blonde blue-eyed children so this is probably true.

That settles it!

I hereby move that the American Psychiatric Association formally recognize the sydrome known as "creeping jigabooism" in their textbook of mental abnormalities!
