How does a white woman have kids with a black guy who end up looking mostly black?

I know a lady who is straight white. She is also completely pale white. Yet she had 3 kids with a black dude. Her kids are completely black appearance wise. They aren't totally black, (and I'm not sure if the dad is) but they clearly are dark skinned. And they all have the afro hair type. Basically, non of them could be mistaken for being white. They probably have other white people attributes, but I am wondering why the appear mostly black. I am not trying to be mean, I am just wondering how genetics work in this situation.

I am mixed but adopted (my biological mother is white and dad is black) and I look in-between, as does my sister:

You have just seen one case of mixed people. One of my mixed friends has predominately black features but you can still tell that she is mixed:

Her brother has lighter skin and his eyes change from green to brown:

My best guy friend is half and half black and he looks anything but. He looks hispanic or asian:

And a picture of him, me, and my sister:

My other friend is mixed and he looks completely white. People are usually shocked to hear that his dad is black:

My other mixed friend (yes, I know...there are a lot of us, lol) has green eyes and pale skin and many people are shocked to find that she is half black as well:

Then there is the two other mixed guys that liked me, they both look in-between races (the second one is half black, half Italian):

Sorry for all the pics! I just wanted to show you that we all come in different variations! LOL! ^_^

A lot of us mixed people generally appear black because black is the dominant race, so the features will usually come out more prominently on the child.

The father's gene is dominant. Just like I have seen black women with children by white men that look 100% white. Go figure.

Genetics are powerful my friend.... You should see my family.... We look like the united nations...lol. we are all so many different shades. Some of us look full black, some of us look latina, and some of us look indian... All of our heritage shows in all of us. My oldest sister's son looks somoan and her and her husband both are darker skin black ppl..... Some things just can't be explained..

Because that black man was more domanite when getting her pregnant. Not all women who have children interacially will have a mixed looking child. I am black and my husband is hispanic and my children are all fair skin. People asks me if there my children because they do not look black at all. They don't even have the kinky hair and I am not a mixed black and am dark skin.

there are dormant genes that could appear skipping generations. I am white (russian white) married to a black man who is not dark at all. I wouldnt be surprised if my kids came out totally black, because there were people on my husbands side who were much darker. White genes are not as strong as black ones.

Genetics. I have seen a lot of kids with black moms and white dads, whose features appear caucasian-like and they usually have fair skin. My cousins are two examples, but I wont be posting their pictures lol sorry.
