CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

-Racism is: "a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race" (Merriam-Webster)
-Evolution states that traits are passed on because they are superior.
-Thus, if evolution is true, some races are bound to be superior to others in certain respects.

-Hitler was an evolutionist.
-Darwin was a racist.

No arguments. This definition works with me.
I wouldn't use the term superior. Traits are passed down because they lead to better survivability. It's hard to the dead to reproduce.
[quote-Thus, if evolution is true, some races are bound to be superior to others in certain respects. [/quote]
The only difference between the races is skin color (melanin content). Nothing about superiority. Only that those with less melanin get sunburns easier.
Huh? I don't understand. I never heard of this, nor do I understand what it has to do with either evolution or racism.Assuming this is true: Hitler also thought that 1+1=2. Therefore addition is racist.
And I have a feeling you're thinking of social darwinism, which is pseudoscience and based on a faulty understanding of evolution.
Assuming this is true: Good thing that biologists don't believe in the inerrant word of Darwin. It's the theory that matters. Please show how the theory makes a racist statement.
