    Sorry but you guys have the wrong end of the stick ,if you read the scientific revelations on the perfection of the body of the football player ETo its much more superiour than any white one waddeling around ,plus the darker the skin the more defined the contours of its beauty ask any life artist.lets say most renaissance artists would of gone to africa for models if they had had the chance!
