There are somethings in this world that based on out own human biases many of us are unable to explain. We always expect that when a white man and a black woman, or a black man and a white woman have a baby together that they would always look ‘mixed’ with the curliest hair known to man.
The truth is when genes mix, magic actually happens and there are no guarantees on how a person might look even based on historical beliefs.
Lucy And Maria Aylmer are twins, one is black and the other is white, they recently shared their story and it went viral.
The girl’s mom Donna is black, half Jamaican and their father Vince is white. Lucy who on the left in the above picture said her mother was in total shock when the twins were born.
“It was such a shock for her because obviously things like skin colour don’t show up on scans before birth,” she said. “So she had no idea that we were so different. When the midwife handed us both to her she was just speechless.”
“No one ever believes we are twins because I am white and Maria is black,” she said.

“Even when we dress alike, we still don’t even look like sisters, let alone twins. When we’ve met friends for the first time they never believe we are twins and they have even made us produce our birth certificates to prove that we are actually twins.”
“We are proud of the fact that we are each other’s twin sister,” she added. “Maria loves telling people at college that she has a white twin – and I’m very proud of having a black twin.”
Both girls are now in College pursuing individual degrees and they have taught the world one thing, at the end of the day we are all just human.
Ummm. Okay
They are, no joke!
So tired of seeing this story. They are fraternal twins. This happens ALOT! I babysat twins that looked like them. They boy was dark the girl was really light. It happens. So what.
I know right! The post I saw yesterday had everybody and they mama who had twins that were opposite posting their pics. Haha.
Im tired of it too, I done see the same story 3 days in a row
Amazing!!!
They both are so pretty.
They are not identical …..they are fraternal twins
Beautiful twins
I don’t understand how people can get tired of people.
Smh
Er mm not Identical twins obviously they’re fraternal twins and one is not black and the other white they’re mixed race that’s kinda offensive
They clearly are not identical, but they are BE-UT-TEE-FULL
Why does this article state that they’re identical twins?!
They’re obviously not.
It’s happen in long before our time it’s in the bible…..
Pretty kool.
Amazing!
FYI identical and fraternal has nothing to do with looks, it has to with eggs. Identical twins come from the same egg ; fraternal twins come from 2 different eggs. Mary Kate and Ashley are fraternal and look almost exactly alike. So technically they could be identical.
No they can’t be identical. Fraternal twins are just siblings born at the same time. There are a lot of siblings that look so much a like people think they are twins. But identical twins coming from the same egg have identical genes so will always look the same.
Thats so awesome. Both girls are beautiful
If their DNA is an exact match, then they are identical. They don’t have to look identical.
If the DNA matches then they share the same genetic code that determines what they look like. These twins are not identical. The article made s mistake or it was a tactic to get people’s attention.
Girl, I was being nosey, are you my spiritual sister?? Agape… Lol. And I don’t know if you’re right, have to do more research. Lol
Hahaha. If you are JW then yes! And yea. I love biology and the concept of genetics.
Yes honey south dekalb congregation in Decatur, ga. Yes this is a very interesting story… I immediately thought about Jacob and Esua in the bible and how they came out looking different.
Yea. Even back then it happened. This is not new. Lol. Me and my brothers are all different colors. No one is a twin but still. Genetics is quite interesting.
Wow how dat possible they r beautiful
Beautiful sisters!!
okay first of all one is not black and one is not white. they are both black and white. 2nd they are identical because they came from the same egg. and 3rd Jamaican isn’t a race their mother is partly of African descent. this situation really isn’t that amazing things like this can and do happen a lot.
I do not believe it they look nothing like each other
Gorgeous!
Beautiful
Identical…they look nothing like…absolutely not one feature alike…twins are cool tho
Kaneal Steel Grey identical twins they say…
Really
They are both beautiful
I thought she was albino…she doesn’t look white to me but maybe it’s my monitor.
They both are black! One may look white but this isn’t new to black people. If you shake the tree you will find someone who could “pass” for white.
