What "Black and White" Twins Teach Us About Supposed Racism

The following is a quote from Brother Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis:

Several years ago I wrote an article for our Answers magazine titled “It’s Not Just Black & White.” This article looked at several examples of what are referred to as “black and white” twins—fraternal twins where one is dark skinned with black hair and the other is light skinned with fair hair. Actually, they both have the same skin color (mainly from the pigment melanin) but different shades (tones) of that color. Well, one of these sets of twins is back in the news.

The Biggs twins, Millie and Marcia, are in the news again because they are entering middle school in Birmingham, England. Their mother, who is light skinned (their father is dark skinned), had to explain to school staff that the girls are indeed twins. Reportedly, “some of their teachers were shocked, and strangers are often baffled when they find out the girls are related, much less twins.” Their mother comments,

I’d be picking them up after school, and the other parents would stop me and say: ‘Are they your daughters?’ . . . When I told that them that they were twins, they would always be stunned. I notice a lot of people doing double-takes.


​Why are people so shocked by these twins? Because they’ve been indoctrinated with the idea of supposed “races,” an idea fueled today by evolutionary thinking. How could twins be of two different “races”? The Bible offers an entirely different perspective.

It's just sad that racism still exists up to these days wherein days of acceptance and equally should be the one reigning. People are still very subjective when it comes to our skin color and the race we represent which should not mater at all. I am hoping that there is still thing we can do about this. This "black and white" twins can teach us a lot of lessons and We will be able to reflect how are we as a person so far. Sometimes, we need to check ourselves how are we as a person.
