"May he rest in peace in his black skin for eternity."
C.A. Diop, Civilization Or Barbarism: An Authentic Anthropology, p67, Lawrence Hill
"
...the type of certain Pharaohs, like Ramses II, appears related to the Abyssinian type."
American anthropologist Carlton S. Coon, The Races of Europe, p96, Macmillan 1939
Note: Abyssinia is modern day Ethiopia, Coon was probably referring to the Afar of Ethiopia, because Ethiopia, like Ancient Egypt, has many black "types."
