Remembering William West and William West, two identical but unrelated men who shared the same name and who are the reason fingerprints are used as the primary means of identification...
They do favor, but I can see the differences. At least their names couldn’t be confused lol. This is putting me in the mind of Robin Givens and Lela Rochon back in the day, or Terry from EnVogue and Holly Peete Robinson. They favor, but we can tell them apart. But white people think we ALL look alike so I hope these men gave them h3ll.
I wonder if they were actually related. Back in those days all kinds of things happened during child birth and after the baby was born. Perhaps the family couldn't afford one. They ended up in the same prison, in the same town! I thinks it's more to the story.
I watched a documentary (3 identical strangers)about triplets separated at birth and found each other in college. The whole thing ended up being a secret experiment which none of them knew about. I wonder if this is another one of those cases.

ReplyDeleteThey look identical to me and I'm Black. Could be cousins or their ancestors came from the same tribe in Africa.
