[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kalonji: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [qb] I don't take this quote, presumably from 100 Amazing Facts about the Negro, to mean that a nation 'Ethiopia' was responsible. The 'Negro,' if for millenia the only human on earth, must be responsible for "first idea of right and wrong" "thus laying the basis of religion and all true culture and civilization." A tad pompous? Mayhap. But consider the opinion of the 'Negro' held as gospel in that era. I commend Rogers for dropping a weight on the other pan of the scale and so tilting toward balance.

Rogers[/i] Obviously, he didn't subscribe to the OOA model. Perhaps I was too early with giving you credit for not defending his work, and taking it for what it is. :rolleyes: [/QB][/QUOTE]
