LMFAO!! Black people are less human than whities?? who’s really the racist here? You need to look back over the theory of evolution.

When you have human beings developing all across the world there are going to be differences. just look at the different environments we thrived in. You must be of the mindset that humans “evolved” from apes…which is retarded, as that’s not how evolution works at all.

Humans shared a common ancestor with what we now call apes, and this line diverged a very, very long time ago. What you’re proposing is that each breed of dog is it’s own species, and a german shepherd is “less” of a dog than a pit bull because it more resembles a wolf.

It would help if you actually read what you believe in. I merely stated what evolutionist’s believe, right from Darwin’s book! HE was a racist, Not me.

I said IF YOU BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION, then you believe that black people are inferior. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION.

Look at these above. Your mack daddy Darwin and his pals loved to put other races down that aren’t white. Now THAT is fucking racist. But he was a “scientist”, so it makes it ok right?

Adaptation is obvious. But I’m a mixed ethnicity myself, it would be masochistic of me to believe in evolution.

One could argue that he is more than just “a man” in this context since he is the father of the theory itself (at least as far as “natural selection”) and that his ideas seemed to imply that he thought blacks were a stepping stone to “caucasians” as if blacks were the link between apes and the more evolved white man. This idea seemed central to his belief in evolution if you take his own writings above into consideration.

Man, your thinking is fucked up. Life started in the Fertile Crescent, which just happens to be in the Middle East/African area of the world. People with darker skin could stand that kind of weather better than people with paler skin. It’s called NATURAL SELECTION. Besides back in the 1800s people used any reason at all to justify their treatment of blacks, this was just another such reason. As we have since seen, blacks are not morally/intellectually inferior to whites. If given the same opportunities both “races” will succeed. Scientific thought has evolved past Darwin’s initial theories. That’s the great thing about science: it EVOLVES.

The stupidity in this thread is staggering.

If you think that Darwin was a racist, you should take more of that medication.

There is no book called “the races of man” by Darwin
However, there is a chapter in “the descent of man” named so.
Darwin argues there contrary to the overwhelming ideology of his time, that the so called “races” are but subspecies (from today’s view); he even writes “so-called races”.

That was an outrage, because Polygenesis, the idea that there are distinct “races” that have no common ancestor was the foundation for ideologies of superiority.
The whole text is remarkable for it’s neutrality and liberal spirit, given the temporal context.
Darwin EXCLUDES covergent evolution here. He argues mental faculties seem to be similar.

We don’t know where life started. Homo Sapiens probably evolved in Africa.
The fertile crescent lies in Iraq and while I don’t know if it was particularly fertile two hundred thousand years ago, it was the stage for a lot of early bible action, which is culturally pretty important for us westerners.
But I doubt that most chinese children will read about the fertile crescent as much as I had to, as a schoolboy.

Darker skin may be an asset in warmer regions, but it doesn’t have to be.
Many asians get very, very dark when exposed to sunlight, but stay, very pale when unexposed.
Another theory is that Fairer skin allows for sufficient sunlight to traverse in regions no as sunny, which is essential for creating vitamin D (?).

The funny thing is that Darwin wasn’t racist. Just like the Bible and Christianity, his works were misused. I’m a Catholic, I believe in evolution. Here is some quotes by Darwin.

â??I thank God, I shall never again visit a slave country. To this day, if I hear a distant scream, it recalls with painful vividness my feelings, when passing a house near Pernamabuco, I heard the most pitiful moans, and could not but suspect that some poor slave was being tortured, yet knew that I was as powerless as a child even to remonstrate. I suspected that these moans were from a tortured slave, for I was told that this was a case in another instance. Near Rio de Janeiro I lived opposite an old lady, who kept screws to crush the fingers of her female slaves. I have staid in a house were a young household mulatto, daily and hourly was reviled, beaten, and persecuted enough to break the spirit of the lowest animal. I have seen a boy, six or seven years old, struck thrice with a horse-whip (before I could interfere) on his naked head, for having handed me a glass that was not quite clean; I saw his father tremble at a mere glance from his masterâ??s eyeâ?¦
It is claimed that self-interest will prevent excessive cruelty; as if self-interest protected our domestic animals, which are far less likely than degraded slaves, to stir up the rage of their savage masters. It is an argument long since protested against with noble feeling, and strikingly exemplified by the illustrious Humboldt. It is often attempted to palliate slavery by comparing the state of slaves to our poorer countrymen: If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of nature, but by our institutions, great is our sinâ?¦"
â??Those who look tenderly at the slave-owner, and with a cold heart at the slave, never seem to put themselves into the position of the latter; – what a cheerless prospect, with not even a hope for change! Picture to yourself the chance, ever hanging over you, of your wife and your little childrenâ??those objects which nature urges even the slave to call his ownâ??being torn from you and sold like beasts to the first bidder! And these deeds are done and palliated by men, who profess to love their neighbors as themselves, who believe in God, and pray His will be done on earth! It makes oneâ??s blood boil, yet heart tremble, to think that we Englishmen and our American descendents, with their boastful cry of liberty, have been and are so guilty: but it is a consolation to reflect, that we at least have made a greater sacrifice, than ever made by any other nation to expiate our sin*.â??

Here is a quote from a paper, “Charles Darwinâ??s theory of evolution may have been shaped by his abhorrence of slavery as much as by his keen observations of Galapagos finches, a new book argues. Darwinâ??s Sacred Cause, by Adrian Desmond and James Moore, notes that slavery propaganda of the time often claimed that different races belonged to different species, a notion that Darwinâ??s work obliterated. The book suggests that Darwinâ??s unique approach to evolution â?? relating all races and species by â??common descentâ?? â?? could have been fostered by his anti-slavery beliefs [BBC News].”

Look his family and himself were involved in the abolitionist movement (Go Jayhawks!), “Many members of Darwinâ??s extended family were deeply devoted to the abolitionist cause, including his grandfather, Josiah Wedgwood, who founded a chinaware company and produced cameos distributed by anti-slavery campaigners; the medallions bore the legend â??Am I Not a Man and a Brother?â?? Darwinâ??s mother and wife were Wedgwoods and anti-slavery was what Darwin called a â??sacred causeâ??. He was taught to see the oppressed black as a â??brotherâ??. This explains why, when he went to Edinburgh University at 16, he could apprentice himself to a freed Guyanese slave to learn the art of bird preservation without thinking it [beneath his dignity] [Times Online]. Darwin later described that former slave as one of his intimate friends.”

I am sure Darwin caused a lot of pain with his writings, but not because people followed his beliefs. It was because they ignored his whole message. The man wrote a book, and you quoted out of that book. As well, you didn’t contextualize it. Good job.
