Magnus Vile said:please, don't try arguing that evolution = racism and expect anyone to take your argument as anything other than a factless rant.
All I have ever seen you post, in the way of argument is, "I don't like evolution = Evolution is false."
john crawford said:Why do Anglo-Saxon evolutionists want to make everyone African or "black" if "we're all the same" in the first place and only Africans evolved from hairy apes in Africa?
troodon said:In response to the OP I will quote a song that I enjoy, mostly because that's all it deserves:
"Can't avoid that
evolution is fact.
We're all from the same Lucy
despite differences you see."
That is all
I don't think even he really knowsNathan Poe said:What are you babbling about?
john crawford said:What would you call the Anglo-Saxon concept of African people being mutant descendents of hairy African apes? Evolution or social darwinism?

This is Chewbacca, a wookie, from Kashyk, but Chewbacca lives on Endor. Ladies and gentlemen of the so-called jury, this does not make sense. If Chewbacca is a wookie, then evolution is racist.
OopsNathan Poe said:If you're going to apologize to anyone, apologize to the late Johnny Cochran... who is only slightly less dead than the logic of the thread!
john crawford said:Anglo-Saxon evolutionists use the fossil record to substantiate the Nordic myth that the original African people were mutant descendents of hairy African apes.
john crawford said:Since the human fossil record shows no evidence of hairy African apes ever mutating into African people, the Nordic myth that they did is further evidence of Anglo-Saxon social darwinism and not human evolution.
john crawford said:How can anyone like the so-called scientific theory espoused by Anglo-Saxon evolutionists for the past 100 years that Asian and African people were originally descended from hairy chimp-like African apes? It's a repulsive idea!
gluadys said:Incorrect. Large brains preceded the migration from Africa.

<LI class=MsoNormal style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l9 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in">The first hint that Darwin was a racist can be seen in the subtitle selected for his "Origin." The words chosen were: "The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life". Whom do you suppose Darwin tagged the "Unfavored Races?" This subtitle has been eliminated from all modern printings of the book, but it remains on the original. (Click here for further explanation regarding this aspect of Darwin's thinking.)
<LI class=MsoNormal style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l9 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in">If there is any doubt that Darwin was a raging racist, these words should leave no doubt: "At some future period (Darwin writes), not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace the savage races throughout the world. At the same time the anthropomorphous apes ... will no doubt be exterminated. The break between man and his nearest Allies will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilized state, as we may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as the baboon, instead of as now between the Negro or Australian and the gorilla." (Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man 2nd ed (New York: A. L. Burt Co., I 874), p. 178).
We are now (hopefully) in the post-racist period in America. Thinking people cringe at Darwin's hatred for the African peoples. Thinking people view it as a disgrace that his racist theories are still being taught in the public schools.
"I have watched how steadily the general feeling, as shown at elections, has been rising against Slavery. What a proud thing for England, if she is the first European nation which utterly abolish is it. I was told before leaving England, that after living in slave countries: all my options would be altered; the only alteration I am aware of is forming a much higher estimate of the Negros character. It is impossible to see a negro & not feel kindly toward him; such cheerful, open honest expressions & such fine muscular bodies; I never saw any of the diminutive Portuguese with their murderous countenances, without almost wishing for Brazil to follow the example of Haiti; & considering the enormous healthy looking black population, it will be wonderful if at some future day it does not take place." -- Charles Darwin to Catherine Darwin (May 22 - July 14 1833) The Correspondence of Charles Darwin Vol. 1 1821-1836 (1985), pp. 312-313
"While staying at this estate, I was very nearly being an eye-witness to one of those atrocious acts which can only take place in a slave country. Owing to a quarrel and a lawsuit, the owner was on the point of taking all the women and children from the male slaves, and selling them separately at the public auction at Rio. Interest, and not any feeling of compassion, prevented this act. Indeed, I do not believe the inhumanity of separating thirty families, who had lived together for many years, even occurred to the owner. Yet I will pledge myself, that in humanity and good feeling he was superior to the common run of men. It may be said there exists no limit to the blindness of interest and selfish habit. I may mention one very trifling anecdote, which at the time struck me more forcibly than any story of cruelty. I was crossing a ferry with a negro, who was uncommonly stupid. In endeavouring to make him understand, I talked loud, and made signs, in doing which I passed my hand near his face. He, I suppose, thought I was in a passion, and was going to strike him; for instantly, with a frightened look and half-shut eyes, he dropped his hands. I shall never forget my feelings of surprise, disgust, and shame, at seeing a great powerful man afraid even to ward off a blow, directed, as he thought, at his face. This man had been trained to a degradation lower than the slavery of the most helpless animal." -- Charles Darwin, Voyage of the Beagle (1839), Chapter II
