All human babies are born with lighter skin than they will have as adults, and even adults have a wide range of skin tones even within one race. Thus, some African American babies will have light, others dark, skin. There is no general rule. (And, in fact, white babies can actually have darker skin that black babies and vice versa.) As well, skin color can darken considerably in the months after birth.
Some babies born of "African American" babies CAN LOOK "caucausian" at birth and throughout their lives. Why? Because somewhere in either the mother's or father's ancestry a white person had sex with a black person. This is how "passing for white" was possible in previous decades. Historically, "passing for White" had economic and societal advantages. Now, it doesn't matter except where racism still exists.
