    These people have dark skin and blue eyes (they must be very good looking).  It took us a couple of hundred years and the science of DNA to come to this conclusion.

        Without DNA ,the history of the intent to go to Afrca ,and bring back somethig different, will make you something Else. Break it down anyway you want, the truth you will see in the mirror
