Exactly. If evolution is true, there is NO basis for morality.

Why do you look to the theory of evolution to provide you with moral compass?
I believe it can also be called tribalism. This has always been around.
If so there is little we can do about it. Evolutionary change cannot be legislated just because we don't like something about ourselves. Thoughts?
Humans seek companionship, but we also find others scary when we know little to nothing about them, especially when we were in situations where the new band of humans coming over the horizon had as much chance as coming to be friendly or coming to raid us.
It is interesting to see how racism and the view of races has evolved down the centuries, though. In the Middle Ages, the English thought the French were another race and visa a versa.
owever, at wider levels, when taking evolution, applied to humanity, to its logical conclusions/extremes, one does end up in hitlerian territories; "competition" and "survival of the fittest" would conclude the abuse or even wiping out of other 'competitors' which are clearly satanic results.
Adolf Hitler used evolutionary theory to justify genocide. Others have used evolution to justify slavery.
It has always been around. It just wasn't called racism. People have always tried to dominate others that look different. When that's not available they just fight among themselves.
The importance of my genetics' continued existence and propagation trumps yours (in my view, yours being the reverse); as such I am to sequester resources for my own usage and away from yours. The ultimate way to secure my existence over yours would be to annihilate you from existence thereby eliminating you as a threat, permanently.Why would evolution "conclude" that? What do you think evolutionary theory is?

But why are some of us who try to help other races often called racist?
I don't see that tribalism and racism, though connected are equivalent. Tribalism being the tendency to gather in exclusionary groups based upon something akin to family ties and racism being the belief that one's race ( however one might decide to define race) is morally superior to other races.

Because the meaning has changed in the last few months. It now just means anyone you don't like and wish to insult.
You mean like "liberal?" I don't think so.Because the meaning has changed in the last few months. It now just means anyone you don't like and wish to insult.
It is when cultures are compared that the problem arises.
