STORY OF CREATION

WHEN GOD MADE THE WORLD IT WAS LIKE BAKING BREAD. FIRST HE PUT
IT IN THE OVEN AND IT WAS OVERCOOKED. THESE ARE THE BLACK PEOPLE.
THEN HE PUT SOME IN AGAIN AND IT WASN'T COOKED ENOUGH. THESE ARE
THE WHITE RACES. THEN GOD SAID,"WELL I'LL TRY ONCE MORE AND IT
WILL BE JUST RIGHT." AND IT CAME OUT JUST RIGHT. THIS IS THE
BROWN RACE.
