[Do you believe in evolution?]
Many answers are guesses. Do you know of any Black family who over the generations has become Chinese? No race has ever changed into another.

Ah, but there are plenty of Africans in China who have decided to live there and embrace the culture. As long as they live there for 7 years, and then apply for citizenship, they are legally Chinese. You lose.
About as easy as becoming American or British - in less than a generation, too.
However, it's not evolution. It's applications for citizenship.
And yet your family, over the generations, managed to become American.
(I know, I shouldn't stoop to this level of stupidity but now and again, I find it kind of cathartic to shout down the hole)
I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Well if we go by the Marge Simpson school of Genetics, I took everything when I married my husband, even his DNA.
Actually, it's a total slippery slope because they're the reason why evolution is real, not the way you think, though
However, you would never guess how many people, including me and my Irish-Spanish roots, who happen to have at least a black ancestor and Filipino. So, maybe yes.
I'm sure there could be something like that, if anybody bothered to keep track of such a family long enough: after all, a child of an African and Asian is half-African, half-Asian. I'm not even going to go into the whole thing about development of different races.
I dont "believe in" evolution.
I ACCEPT the evidence that evolution occurs.
I know a Stenhaur family who became Polish.
In 1945, the German/Polish border was moved to incorporate a German village into Poland, And the Stenhaurs were issued with new Polish passports.
Do you know of any Black family who over the generations has become Chinese?
I'd be astonished if there weren't some (predominantly) Chinese people who had a black ancestor or two in a country like the US where different nationalities are mixed together.
Actually, it's quite likely that Black families did "become" Chinese, as well as all the other ethnic groups and phenotypes:

Love this interactive map of early human migration.
Except Chinese and African are ALREADY ESTABLISHED variants of a given species, namely homo sapiens. Evolution doesn't duplicate existing life forms; it speciates into new life forms similar to the older species but distinct in some way. It happens on a population basis: organisms in a given population will all evolve in the same direction, but organisms in a given species as a whole will not.
A very mis-interpreted statement.
Lincoln6 is arguing against the Bible. The Bible teaches that Noah's Jewish sons, after the flood, turned into members of different race. Ham (became the ancestors of Egyptians, Berbers, and the various races in sub-saharan Africa. Japeth became the ancestors of Europeans, while Shem remained Jewish, but gave birth to children who became Arabs and all of the various racial groups in India and East Asia (including Australian Aborigines, I guess).
Either that or Lincoln6 is a fundamentalist who is so stupid he doesn't understand the Biblical account of racial origins. But that couldn't be the case, could it?
That could possibly because there is no such thing as race...
Oh, and EVOLUTION DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY.
I have seen Australian aborigines being turned into native Africans.
The moment they step on US soil, brainless PC-idiots call them "African Americans".
This proves that one race can turn into another.
“Many answers are guesses”
So is every bet in poker. And yet certain people tend to win.
“Do you know of any Black family who over the generations has become Chinese?”
I’m white, my kids are black. My ‘family’ has changed, in the manner you demand, so you must now accept evolutionary theory.
“No race has ever changed into another.”
Wrong.
Confused?
