When a black man and a white woman have a child, does the child become white? If a white man and a black woman have a child, does the child become black?

No! Genetics are a roll of the dice.
These kids are neither White/Black, they’re them, mixed/biracial/whatever you’d like to label it. They are uniquely them.
Why would that make sense to you?
Seal is a Black man and had children with his ex. Heidi Klum, a White woman.
Their kids look like this:
Clearly, this is a mixed bag. You never know what you will get.
Other examples.
Plus, less progressive societies usually, incorrectly, believe the man has the stronger genes. So this isn’t even a widely held belief. A common belief is that the father decides the race, which is stupid.
On the flip side, Serena Williams and her husband, Alexis Kerry Ohanian, their children (she had another baby) are lighter in skin tone:
It’s stupid AF. lol.

Regardless, just love the kids.
