...credible evidence: ancient Egyptians mastered flight with gliders, which they used for both recreation and travel. They invented electric batteries and mastered electroplating, discovered the principles of quantum mechanics and anticipated Darwin's theories of evolution. Furthermore, all Egyptians were black, and their abundance of the dark skin pigment, melanin, not only made them more humane and superior to lighter-skinned people in body and mind but also provided such paranormal powers as ESP and psychokinesis...
...latter he jots down a few salient attributes: "individualist," "competitive," "exploitative." Jeffries explains that his chart "gives us a paradigm for looking at the world. We're not talking about superiority and inferiority, but we're talking about the important factor of melanin." Blacks have more melanin -- a skin pigment -- than whites; Jeffries asserts, "It allows us to negotiate the vibrations of the universe and to deal with the ultraviolet rays of the sun."

Although highly treatable, these squamous-cell carcinomas grow faster than basal-cell tumors and annually kill 2,300 Americans. Malignant melanoma, which ravages the skin's pigment-producing cells, is the most unforgiving: it will strike twice as many Americans in 1993 as in 1980. Nearly 7,000 will die this year...
