Kandi was gracious enough to give a polite answer: “With genetics, you reach back sometimes. My mom’s father was a dark complexion, so I guess I got it from him. 🤷🏾‍♀️”

This backer shared: “You are sooooo beautiful! I cannot believe you replied to that query, but I have a feeling that it may have been ignorantly? Before. I happen to be very light like both of my grandpas while my mom was kind of butter pecan and daddy brown-skinned. We come in all flavors, but so what! I’d rather talk about the fact that you, dem babies your daddy and bonus mom are bonding. Also, you are the child of a strong mama and a daddy. That’s a whole dr. You’re blessed @kandi Be safe and be well🙏🏽🙏🏽.”

This social media user wrote: “People are a trip sometimes I actually had people ask me where did my sons get their lighter complexion 😳 , but I just told them, my mom. My oldest did pick up my father’s darker complexion tho. That’s genetics for you.”

Another follower shared this point of view: “That’s what I also said it’s like.. why would you even ask that it sounded like being dark is bad? I’m very light-skinned, and both my kids are dark, and if anyone ever asked me that question, I would be angry.”

This expert stated: “It’s sad that in this day and age, people are so ignorant about basic genetics. HIGH SCHOOL BIOLOGY class would’ve taught them about dominant and recessive genes. It means everyone has DNA alleles. Dependent on which one presents itself is what that individual looks like. You are so smart and talented, Kandi. My wish for this next generation is for them to pick up more knowledge about science.”
