Black babies are not always born white, although some are quite light. Even when they are born lighter, there are usually differences in the tone of their skin. Many lighter babies have visible changes of skin tone even within hours of being born. Just like white, Hispanic, Asian, and other babies, they have had no sun exposure, so their melanin has not surfaced. It could take several months to fully develop.

Black babies are not born white. Babies of all races are typically born with lighter skin that may change over time as they produce more melanin, the pigment that gives color to skin, hair, and eyes. In the case of black babies, their skin will darken as they are exposed to UV light and as their bodies produce more melanin.

99.99% African American babies are born with their natural curly/kinky hair. Their hair will probably only be straight depending on their genetics if they're interracial.

Are black babies born with white skin?

Yes, most black babies are born with white skin. Some are born completely black however most of them lack the melanin pigment development initially. Within a few months, this pigment develops while they are exposed to the sun and such. They will gradually turn black until they reach their full pigment color. Black baby boys usually have the full black pigment around their testicles. Later, their whole body will turn into the same color.

Do babies see in color or black and white?

When babies are just born, their vision is still developing (You don't need to see much when you're living in someone's belly). That means you can't see in color. So yes; babies see in black and white. But only when they're just born. They will be able to see all colors once they're 5 months old.
