You should check the lineage of Alexander Dumas; his father was a mulatto from Haiti and became a general of Napolean. Once Napolean conquered Egypt, the Egyptians thought that the senior Dumas was the emperor because that tall, powerful figure that surpasses the short posture of the Napolean. And there is another example that the Europeans don't mind blacks being powerful figures; you should check the lineage of Alexander Pushkin, who is also a descendant of black people.
