LONDON - A pair of British twin boys has been born with different skin color, a rare genetic occurrence according to experts.
In an interview with Britain's Sky News program, mother Kerry Richardson said that the boys were both born white but as they've gotten older one of the boys got darker and the other lighter.
Today, she says, the twins attract attention wherever they go.
Richardson is of mixed race, with Nigerian and English heritage, while the father is white.
A genetics expert at Oxford University says such births are rare, as the genes that cause skin color normally mix together. In this case, he says, it appears the genes for skin color didn't combine for some reason and the boys may have inherited different genetic codes from their mother.

I bet the mother was a whore and got impregnated simultaneously by two men. I highly doubt it was what they are suggesting.
If I had kids and my wife gave birth to twins, one black and one white, she'd have some fucking explaining to do.

I bet the two kids are not related at all and the whole thing was made up to create a story.
