Quotes from the Movie True Romance:


Dennis Hopper aka Cliff:

Christopher Walken aka Coccotti:
Coccotti: Sicilians are great liars. The best in the world. I`m a Sicilian. And my old man was the world heavyweight champion of Sicilian liars. And from growin` up with him I learned the pantomime. Now there are seventeen different things a guy can do when he lies to give him away. A guy has seventeen pantomimes. A woman`s got twenty, but a guy`s got seventeen. And if you know `em like ya know your own face, they beat lie detectors to hell.

Sicilians:
Cliff: So you`re a Sicilian, huh?
Coccotti: Uh-huh.
Cliff: You know I read a lot. Especially things that have to do with history. I find that shit fascinating. In fact, I don`t know if you know this or not, Sicilians were spawned by niggers.

Moors of Africa:
Coccotti: Come again?
Cliff: It`s a fact. Sicilians have nigger blood pumping` through their hearts. If you don`t believe me, look it up. You see, hundreds and hundreds of years ago the Moors conquered Sicily. And Moors are niggers. Way back then, Sicilians were like the wops in northern Italy. Blond hair, blue eyes. But, once the Moors moved in there, they changed the whole country. They did so much fucking` with the Sicilian women, they changed the blood-line for ever, from blond hair and blue eyes to black hair and dark skin. I find it absolutely amazing to think that to this day, hundreds of years later, Sicilians still carry that nigger gene. I`m just quoting` history. It`s a fact. It`s written. Your ancestors were niggers. Your great, great, great, great, great-grandmother was fucked by a nigger, and had a half-nigger kid. That is a fact. Now tell me, am I lyin`?

The Black Genesis of Chess - Moors of Spain

Chess is a game that we all love and enjoy for its build-up of tension and it infinite possibilities. Black chess players have recently begun to make headway into the upper echelons of the international chess arena. However, there was a historical precedent for Blacks in a mighty people who served as the genesis of modern-day chess. Who were these mighty people? They were the Moors of Africa who led a militaristic campaign against Spain in 711 AD and brought with them a game called Shatranj. Shatranj was derived from Chaturanga, a board game originating in India in the 6th century which featured only four types of pieces: elephants, chariots, calvary, and infantry. The Moors also brought another fame to Spain called el-Quirkat, a direct ancestor to checkers.


The Moors were a proud civilization known for spectacular advances in science which included tracing "the curvilinear path rays of light through air." This is the forerunner of eyeglasses. The Moors also used the astrolab and compass for navigation and their methods of surgical medicine were at advanced states. They excelled in herbology and employed food preservation techniques enabling the storage of wheat for as long as 100 years!

Was Hannibal Black?

BLACK SCHOOL CHILDREN have long admired Hannibal as a racial role model. The African general, who marched on Italy in 218 B.C., hailed from Carthage, in what is now Tunisia. Hannibal was actually black? Two films currently in the pipeline offer conflicting answers tothat question. A resounding "Yes!" comes from Fox studios, whose upcoming Hannibal epic will star Denzel Washington.

Denzel Washington:

British director Ridley Scott responds with a somewhat less resounding,"sort of." His Hannibal epic will star Vin Diesel an actor who looks Mediterranean, calls himself "multicultural," and is reputed to be part black and part Italian. Some commentators dismiss the actorsA? appearance as irrelevant.
Though I think that Diesel is phenotypically closer to Hannibal, I'm not sure if he can bring the sort of iron tragic gravity to the story of the ancient Carthaginian that someone like Washington is known for," remarks Razib K, a 25-year-old Bangladeshi immigrant with a biochemistry degree who co-edits the popular blog-site Gene Expression, known for its frank discussions of race. Other critics place more importance on "phenotype" or physical traits. "That's the stuff, boys. Africa! Cuddly Blacks v. Wicked Anglo-Saxon Romans! Great box-office!" sneers British writer Peter Jones in The Spectator. Jones says, "Black Africans (the so-called Negroid type) did not inhabit the coastline of North Africa". Actually, many blacks have lived there, from ancient times to the present. Jones is correct, however, in saying that the Carthaginians were descended from Phoenician colonists. "The Phoenicians were a Semitic people from along the coast of Lebanon/Syria," he writes. "Expert traders, they established way-stations along the Mediterranean.

I bet you didn't know this, did you?

J. Edgar Hoover was the head of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation for 48 years from 1924 until his death in 1972. One of the most virulent racists to hold a top government position in this country in the 20th Century was J. Edgar Hoover, the long-time director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Hoover was notorious for his targeting of blacks: civil rights leaders, elected officials, newspaper publishers, or even artists such as the great singer Paul Robeson.

On March 4, 1968, FBI Headquarters issued a memorandum expanding its COINTELPRO activities against``Black Nationalist--Hate Groups,` and warning that Dr. King, among others, could emerge as a messiah` who could unify and electrify the Black Nationalist movement. The memorandum called for the use of ``imaginative` techniques, and required a report on accomplishments within 30 days. Exactly 30 days later, on April 4, Dr. King was assassinated. HooverA?s cooperation with military intelligence units conducting surveillance and more deadly operations against King has been documented in Dr. William PepperA?s book Orders to Kill, The Truth behind the Murder of Martin Luther King. Pepper says new investigative techniques could prove once and for all that James Earl Ray did not shoot King.
