Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
MORGAN Hoffman was astounded when a reel she made about her daughter and motherhood went viral. Morgan and her husband Matt welcomed their little one, Brooklyn, into the world 10 months ago and have been enjoying family life since. Morgan is black, Matt is white and their daughter is biracial. Morgan said: -When she was born she looked most like Matt- She-s starting to look like me in terms of, she-s starting to get a little bit of a tan-- The mother-of-one received negative and nasty comments on her content that accused her of lying about being Brooklyn-s biological mum. Morgan said: -Someone else said they might have switched babies at the hospital and given us the wrong baby and they said that still happens. They also received a lot of racist comments. Morgan said: -It-s just the skin colour they-re getting hung up on. - Matt added: -It-s very eye-opening- It takes you back, it hurts. - But she has also received comments and messages from other parents of biracial children thanking her for shedding a light on this. Matt said: -She knows who she is, what she does for Brooklyn - the most important thing is just to rise above it - be confident in who you are and what you do on a daily basis

I'm slightly darker than the lady in this video but my daughter is white, blond and blue-eyed. When she was about 4 or 5 we were at the mall and some security guard was keeping an eye on us and for a while following us. It was really creepy. Until my daughter for some random reason said: -Mama, .- And that's when he backed off. It was the most unsettling experience in the mall. I carried her in my belly for 9 months, had to have 2 surgeries to get her to begin with and then they act that way, because I'm dark-skinned and she's white? If it had been the other way around, they wouldn't have bothered because then they would have assumed that I had adopted some poor African child. And then they claim there is no racist bias? I live in Europe as the daughter of a white European and an Afro-Latina. My last name is considered normal, my first name anything but. My other two daughters were born with brown eyes, brown hair an a slightly darker skin. Nobody says anything about them. But some people even asked me whether they (the oldest and the twins) had the same father. Just because my eldest is white, blond and blue.

It-s sad that people so often project their worst selves in comment sections. That people think their biology 101 understanding of genetics is sufficient to invalidate a mothers relationship to her own child is absolutely wild and awful. Genetics is obviously not a simple thing, and that is typically made clear in the average bio 101 class too. So for those commenters to act like it-s so clear and straightforward just shows how much they were skirting that subject so they could vent their own bias and upset.
Im glad that in this case the family was able to see that rather than take those comments on. This is a beautiful, close family and I-m glad they saw through those commenters in the end -

My children were biracial and looked stereotypically mixed. My grandchildren are every shade from deep brown with African features to Nordic blonde and blue eyes. My son-s first wife was also biracial so my granddaughter is biracial WITHOUT a BLACK or WHITE parent which confuses some people. They want to say she-s 1/4 black instead of recognizing 1/2 + 1/2 = 2/4 or 1/2 in the whole DNA situation. And she-s so beautiful; she-s an international model! Brooklyn is adorable! From profile, she has her aunt-s nose! And why can-t dad have a child who looks like him? It-s a crazy world of societal designated racial identities!

This is literally my life, but in reverse. I am mixed (white and black, my father is black and my mother is white. Growing up, people never believed that I was her biological daughter. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with adoption, it still hurt me a little that people would never even consider the possibility that my father could be black. Plus, people always glossed over many defining characteristics that I share with my mother, like our smiles, just because of the difference in skin color and hair texture between us.

What a gorgeous family! I can totally see Mom in that face! Babies change sooooo very much, and even if she grew up to look exactly like she does now- it shouldn't matter. Chances are she will change though and I wouldn't be surprised if the day comes where she looks a whole lot like mom! That's what's so wild about the negative comments, particularly how -hurt- some claim they would be if their baby -didn't look like them. - Why would you be hurt? Why would you take offense to that? It makes no sense to me.
reply

People are very ignorant. Realistically, if you look at her family, the mom is the darkest one of the bunch. Once I saw Grandma, I definitely saw the color in the baby. Regardless, they are a beautiful family. My baby is mixed, and for a while, he looked nothing like me. He looked like his dad's father. I-m black, and daddy is Spanish. That boy is SO PROUD TO BE MIXED. He said he wants to be the first Jamaican Ecuadorian President. Man, he-s so happy he's American, Caribbean, and Ecuadorian.

She's absolutely beautiful and she for sure looks like her mother as well if y'all look close enough not all biracial children looks black and that's okay but that doesn't mean she's not her biological mother some biracial children look more like their other parent people need to stop this bull you don't know their life stop making assumptions because that's not getting y'all nowhere mind your own business there life has nothing to do with y'all life there life is none of y'all business

This proves that genetics aren-t simply taking 50% from both parents and being an equal mix of that, and that people are their dominant gene, not all of the genes that exist within them including the un-expressed and dormant ones. And it also proves how weak the black genes are, because most mixed kids look much more like their white or Asian parent than their black parent. These people have a beautiful family and wish them all the best!

I know the feeling she going through. My child is Puerto Rican, which she lughter than me as I'm brown skin. Everywhere I would go would as me if she my child or if people knew me, they will ask who child did you rob. It does gets frustrating at time. Just because your child doesn't have the same skin color as you dont mean that child, not yours biologically. People will always talk, and I have learned not to care.
This is a beautiful family -

Knew a couple with dark brown hair and eyes. One kid turned out red hair and blue eyes, the other brown hair and brown eyes. Each of the parents have one parent with reddish brown hair and blue eyes, and one parent with dark brown hair and eyes. They also encounter people asking if they're just babysitting someone else's kid. Also the mom in this video looks like she's mixed. I am quite sure she has some degree of European ancestry.
reply

People don-t get it. I am a black woman with a blue eye daughter. All of my biracial children are completely different, some with blue eyes and others with brown eyes. But all are the same skin tone as Brooklyn. And my grandchildren are blond hair with blue eyes. People just don-t understand genetics. Y-all just be happy and ignore them. -

I work in a daycare and a lot of my babies are mixed. I've learned that there's no real rhyme or reason to what racial traits a kid does/doesn't pick up. I can't fathom questioning a child's parentage. That baby is very clearly the child of this couple. She has dad's eyes and coloring, and mom's nose and face shape.
reply

my mom is white and my dad is dutch-indonesian. my little sister was born with blue eyes and blonde hair (now has gray eyes and dark brown hair) and is -white passing- while i look like your average dutch-indonesian, we have this joke that the ink ran out with her. its just the way genetics work!
reply

Okay like seriously? This sweet baby looks just like her mom, she has dads white skin and then all moms beautiful black features! A lower nasal bridge, perfect lips, a more angular face, with big full cheeks! People are idiots! She-s going to be absolutely gorg as grown little lady!
reply

I'm mostly Guatemalan but I have Chinese in me too. I've been asked often if I'm Filipina. I look both I think. Hispanic with some Asian. It's cool.
And that baby is sooo cute and beautiful! Gorgeous. I love babies.
Remember no matter what anyone says, you have a lovely life.

reply

She is very obviously mixed race! Dad could be holding her alone in a store, and I'd still know her mother is a black woman! There is not just one shade of black and being lighter skin doesn't take her blackness away from her. Shame on anyone trying to deny that baby's identity!
reply

She looks mixed if you look past her colour my child are mixed all are all different dark light inbetween but my one who has the most Jamaican features is white with blue eyes and blond hair yet she looks the most like she is jamaican if you just look past her colour.
reply

I went to school with people that were mixed. I worked with people that were mixed, and sometimes the white part is more dominant looking then whatever other nationality it is. People need to mind their own business. It-s a happy family that-s all that matters. -
reply

Just post the birth video thats going to shut them up. --- WHY should it even matter?
As long as kids have loving parents, why do they HAVE to look like mom and dad?
Interesting subject matter, just shows some people have have far too much free time.

reply

I-ve seen this happen before to people I know.
I knew this very Asian woman who married a white man and a child, came out with blonde hair and blue eyes and looked just like a Caucasian kid. DNA always works in mysterious ways. Lol

reply

She is a beautiful, healthy baby. Can-t we just appreciate the fact that she has two loving parents in a world of craziness. I-m not even biracial, just light-skinned, and I-ve dealt with this kind of thing. It-s messed up.
reply

I think there are a special breed of people that I've never met, those who peg their existence on the views of others.
I hope my children never bring such nonsense to me as there are bigger problems in the world.

reply

Isn't it awful, that in this day and age, this rubbish still goes on. You can see even in her own family, they are all different shades. I think she's very like her grandma too. What a little cutie.
reply

my final thoughts are that nothing is linear when it comes to genetics some will take after mom or dad in their case its not uncommon for anybody from two backrounds to look pink over brown.
reply

First thing I saw was that cute nose. That-s her mama-s nose. At the end of the day, she has two parents who-ll love and guide her through life. Bi racial or not-. It-s called being human -
reply

My mom was told by many people that she must have gotten the wrong baby. My father is white and we did not allow people to steal our joy. My father did not allow racist comments. -----
reply

She's capping! That baby has mom's large nose and dad's chipmunk face. Just bc the child is light skin, don't mean she's not your child. It's called being mixed. Duh
reply

Stop listening to these miserable, hateful people. if she was a white woman, no problem. They would say oh the dad is black. - Get used to the mixture dummies.
reply

The baby definitely has her mom's nose and lips. Those did not come from dad. She's very light but has a tad bit of color. Beautiful family!
reply

They're basically being racist towards a baby. and people say black people (or people of other races other than white) can't be racist?
