Rachel,
a young mother from Tennessee, welcomed her precious baby boy into the world on
February 17th.
Employed
as a cashier at the Celina 52 Truck Stop, Rachel received congratulations from
her workplace on the birth of her baby. They shared a post on Facebook
featuring a photo of the joyful family with the caption, "Congratulations
to our cashier Rachel and her fiancé Paul Buckman on the arrival of their baby,
Cash Jamal Buckman, born on Saturday at 6:18pm."
What
drew the attention of many was the fact that both Rachel and Paul are of
Caucasian descent, while their baby is African American.
Predictably,
individuals began posting derogatory comments beneath the post, accusing Rachel
of infidelity.
The
store then added another post offering an explanation.
“Yes,
Paul is the father. Rachel has African American DNA in her which can skip
generations and cause a child to be born with darker skin,” they wrote.
Further,
they stated that there might be possibility of jaundice, and ended their post
with, “Please be kind.”
Nevertheless,
this didn't deter people from continuing to make jokes at the couple's expense.
“Congratulations!!!
I AM sure he looks just like his dad. Where is he?” one person commented.
“Definitely
needs a DNA test; what if they accidentally mixed up the kiddos in the
nursery?” another added.
“I
feel sorry for Paul, being duped like this is a whole new level of creep.
Hopefully he’ll wise up,” a third wrote.
Looking
at the comments, Rachel decided to share a post that included her her own
ancestry test results. She wrote, “For the haters saying that I [don’t] have
black DNA maybe this will clear it up straight from my ancestry DNA results
!!!! NOW STOP slandering mine and my [fiancé] Paul Buckman name. he IS the
father of Lil Cash.”
