I have heard the same things about my kids when they were born and now my son is very brown and my daughter remained light. I do think some people see the light skin as you having lucked out. Unfortunatly many people still see light skin as being better and we just need to be aware of it as parents in order to protect our kids. I was very scared that I would have one child who was a lot lighter than the other and worried about them being treated differently. Now I don't worry as much and just use positive language when speaking of their hair or skin. Our kids need us to bring them up with lots of pride in who they are as AA people.
