\"Is<\/a>
Is white skin the Mark of Cain – albinos in Africa could pass for Caucasians. Acreengrab of CNN report linked to at the bottom.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The “Out of Africa” theory is generally accepted by science today, but how did we become white if everyone originally was black? Albinoism may cause the key, driven from society they interbred with each other, and became large enough to be a group apart and found their malady advantagous when moving north from savannahlands…<\/p>\n

The mark of Cain, said to be dark skin by slavers, may instead actually be white skin?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In days of old the story told
\nBy those who stood to gain
\nThat the blacks made slave until the grave
\nThey bore the mark of Cain
\nTheir skin it was said the mark it was
\nAbel and his issue being white
\nSo bible decreed enemies each breed
\nTo enslave was the Caucasian right.<\/p>\n

In modern times looking back
\nAt a dark and not to distant past
\nIts hard to understand how mankind planned
\nHorror like slavery, and how long it did last.
\nWe look to the west with a worried gaze
\nHistry may be repeating itself once more
\nIt was a slow descent that humanity went
\nTo slavery in the Anglo world before.<\/p>\n

As I look in the mirror and think of this thinking
\nThe craziness of thinking ones better from colour of skin
\nFew know albinoism is what made white men distinct from dark
\nWe all are black, all are people, within.
\nIn African voodoo albinos are hunted
\nAs majical, limbs eaten, powers to gain…
\nThe thought hit me as I cut myself shaving right then:
\nMaybe white skin is the mark of Cain!!!<\/p>\n
