At least be honest, Bukhari:V4B52N137 "The Prophet said, 'Let the negro slave of Dinar perish. And if he is pierced with a thorn, let him not find anyone to take it out for him....(sadism) If he [the black slave] asks for anything it shall not be granted, and if he needs intercession [to get into paradise], his intercession will be denied.'" That is the most deceiving translation! The word negro is a fabrication it's not in the text at all. This hadeeth has nothing about black nor slave, it says "The slave of the dinar, which literally means the slave of money; the person who would do anything for money and spend all his life collecting money "like worshipping money" instead of spending his life worshipping Allah. "Dinar" is a currency that was used at that time and still in use these days in many Arab countries.
