Yus, I hear you.  In the days of the "Crudaders" no whites came to our aid
when we were bening slaughtered and yes, they were all racists, just like
the case of the Almoravids.  Today's white and Arab descendants are judged
by what they do today.  I do not subscribe to the sins of the father and
would not say all whites are members of the KKK, but the few that are.  This
issue of Bilal is also something that Africans should also deal with.
Thanks for your contributions.
