A slight retraction... Reviewing Dalinise's ad @ DAZ, I see that she does give here characters names, so I must apologize for note reading this section closely. My problems with the title, however, remains. How about "African Beauties" or "African Magic?" I was going to say..."Dark Magic," but this encounters similar racist Western preconceptions as "Brown Sugar." (i.e. the Church's condemnation of any non-Western and orthodox religions as demonic. You see...the problem is endemic our cultural views.) To quote Billy Joel, "We didn't start the fire/but gotta fight it."
