Show him that we don't hate black people by talking about our love for Bilal and an-Najashee.

Why talk about Bilal and An-Najaashi specifically? Do you think that they looked any different from the other Arabs?

Description of Bilal:

‏ قال ‏مكحول:‏ ‏‏"‏حدثني من‏ ‏رأى‏ ‏بلالا رجلا آدم شديد الأدمة

Makhoul said:

"Those who saw Bilal informed me that he was adam shadeed al-udma (very, very dark-skinned)."

Description of Ali ibn Abi Talib - The first cousin of the Prophet (SAWS):

قال‏ ‏جلال‏ ‏الدين‏ ‏السيوطي في‏ ‏كتابه‏ ‏تاريخ‏ ‏الخلفاء‏:‏ ‏‏"‏‏و‏ ‏كان‏‏ ‏علي‏ (بن‏ ‏ابي‏ ‏طالب)‏ شيخا‏،‏ ‏سمينا،‏ ‏‏أ‏صلع،‏‏ ‏كثير‏ ‏الشعر،‏ ‏ربعة‏ ‏الى‏ ‏القصر،‏ ‏عظيم‏ ‏البطن،‏ ‏عظيم‏ ‏اللحية‏ ‏جدا،‏ ‏قد‏ ‏ملأت‏ ‏ما‏ ‏بين‏ ‏منكبيه،‏ ‏بيضاء‏ ‏كأنها‏ ‏قطن،‏ ‏آدم‏ ‏شديد‏ ‏الأدمة‏"‏.‏
Jalal Addin As-Suyuti says in his book Taarikh Al-Khulafaa:

"He (Ali ibn Abi Talib (RAA)) was an elderly, heavy-set, bald, hairy man of average height leaning toward shortness; with a pot belly, a very large beard which was white as if it was cotton and which filled all between his shoulders. And he was adam shadeed al-udma (very, very dark-skinned)."
