White Woman and Her White Husband Welcome Black Baby into Their Family
In Tennessee, Rachel, a cashier at Celina 52 Truck Stop, joyfully welcomed her son, Cash Jamal Buck, into the world on February 17. However, what should have been a time of celebration was marred by controversy due to Rachel and her fiancé Paul Buckman being white while Cash is black.
Upon announcing Cash’s birth on Facebook, Rachel and Paul faced a barrage of accusations and skepticism from users who couldn’t fathom how two white parents could have a black child without infidelity being involved.
Responding to the doubts, Celina 52 Truck Stop clarified that Paul is indeed Cash’s father. They explained that Rachel carries African American DNA, which can sometimes manifest in a child with darker skin, a phenomenon that can skip generations. They also mentioned the possibility of jaundice and appealed for kindness in their post.
Despite this explanation, the comments section was flooded with jokes and disparaging remarks, with some questioning Cash’s paternity and suggesting DNA tests.
