Albinism is a hereditary condition which means you get
it from your parents. Two black people can give birth to
an Albino child, if both carry in their body the gene for
Albinism. This you cannot see or know.

You only realize it after giving birth.

About one in 70 people carries this
gene but it is not possible to know who carries it.
If an Albino marries a black person the chance of giving
birth to an Albino is low.

Most
Albinos who are married to
a black partner have black
children.

On the other hand a couple
who have already given birth
to one Albino child has a high
chance of having a second child
with Albinism.

To give birth to an Albino the
child must inherit Albino genes
from both parents the mother
and the father.
