Jesus was black and so was Cleopatra - Know your history is just something I said in reference to Paul Mooney, a comedian who is such a big part of our recent, real history I don't even know where to begin except to say he was Richard Pyror's right hand man. Really there's more I don't know about how deeply entrenched he is in comedy than that I do. But it's funny to say because people get all up in arms at the thought that maybe some of their beloved religious and historical figures weren't lilly white like them. And really, they weren't, if only because back then, there wasn't even a concept of a "white race".
