[/QUOTE]I said/ wrote in many African traditions. That is what I wrote/ said. And I would not call the post by "Wally" errors. Rather a form of interpretation. Both of the interpretations intermingle quite well. [i]African peoples often symbolize death by the colour white rather than black; at the same time, many African cultures see white as the colour that links them to their ancestors, and it can therefore have a positive meaning.[/i] [/QB][/QUOTE]
