After the creation of Adam (A) and Eve (E), who lived happily in the Garden of Eden; with little else to do it was inevitable that boredom would kick in...so questions started:
E: Are we black or white?
A: I don't know but it doesn't matter what we are.
E: But I would like to know, so in your meeting with God today please ask him.
Before the meeting between God and A concluded, the latter asked, "Lord, did you create us white or black?
God answers by saying You are who you are.
A returns home and tells E that God answered her question by saying You are who you are.
E gets excited and says "I knew it, we were created white" A asks how can you tell, the Lord didn't say that.
E: The Lord said that You are who you are which means we are white. If we were black the Lord would have said "You is who you is"
