Hannibal Barca was a brilliant general
Whether he was black or white, or even brown
The modern world gets it wrong once again
It mattered not to the people of the day
He was a Berber or a Phoenician
He was savior of Carthage
Defender of the colonies
Loved for the battles he was able to win
And he was hated by Rome
For the losses they suffered
He was hated or loved
But for his excellence in battle
Not his fucking color of skin
