Racism and Darwinism

The greatest influence in the sudden development of racism in the 19th century Europe was the replacement of the Christian belief that "God created all people equal" by "Darwinism". By suggesting that man had evolved from more primitive creatures, and that some races had evolved further than others, it provided racism with a scientific mask.

In short, Darwin is the father of racism. His theory was taken up and commented on by such 'official' founders of racism as Arthur Gobineau and Houston Stewart Chamberlain, and the racist ideology which emerged was then put into practice by the Nazis and other fascists. James Joll, who spent long years as a professor of history at universities such as Oxford, Stanford, and Harvard, explained the relationship between Darwinism and racism in his book Europe Since 1870, which is still taught as a textbook in universities:

Charles Darwin invented racism, just like Al Gore invented the internet.

[Saurdaukar]

Who has this much time of his hands to attempt to connect Darwin and racism.

Stupid ****ing people.

[Hooligan]

All kinds of idiots selectively grasp little snippets of science and attempt to use to justify their position.  Darwin is just one example of somebody whose work gets continually misrepresented in order to support some bogus logic.

Racism is present only when people unjustifiably believe that other races are different or even inferior.

So if I justifiably believe in my superiority to you I am okay then...


There is massively more difference among individual representatives of the same race than differences between the races themselves.  Therefore no justification exists.

[Delirium]

Miko, please tell me you are just 'trolling' for an argument again.

If you really believe this you are one sad, self-absorbed, and pitiful human being.

If this post causes me to be banned, its worth it.

Does the fact that you categorize the groups as 'other races' make you racist?
