taken from "Upside Down" - Eduardo Galeano
"According to the wise old men of Colombia's Choco Region, Adam and Eve were black, and so were their sons, Cain and Abel. When Cain killed his brother with one blow, God's fury thundered across the heavens. Cringing before the Lord's rage, the murderer turned so pale from guilt and fear that he stayed white until the end of his days. We whites are all children of Cain."
