Comissioned by the Rockefeller Foundation. This is a theme being pushed heavily at the moment, especially in Europe. There is a narrative being created out of nothing that the original inhabitants of Europe, and yes, even Scandinavia and the British Isles, were sub-Saharan Africans and that the white man came and displaced them. The clear intention is to create feelings of guilt in those who might question or criticize pro/mass immigration policies and globalism in general.
