"The white man is very clever, he came quietly with his religion. We were amused at his foolishness & allowed him to stay. Now he has won our brothers our clan can no longer act like one.

He has put knife on the things that held us together & we have fallen apart. - "

Indeed the white man is very clever.

When they came - the white men - they had the Bible, we had the lands. They asked us to pray, by the time we opened our eyes, we had the Bible and they had the lands...

Tell us what you know, a man described himself as black , are you trying to tell us the man doesn't know the color of his skin?
Samson is also a black man, for your information, the Pharaohs are also blacks, why do you think the NOSE on the images of spynx in Egypt has been attacked so much?.
It's because the nose is African, not European and white man can't accept, that black man could be as intelligent as Egyptians, so the white man is doing everything possible to, erase the identity of the Egyptians.

According to his theory, Napoleon blew the nose off the Sphinx because it was a "black" nose; because the general's "sick," racist mind could not accept the visual evidence that black Africans had constructed the monument, and thus the complex ancient civilization of the Nile Valley, centuries before.
