The Horrifying American Roots of Nazi Eugenics
2003 San Francisco Chronicle article via History Network ^ | September 2003

Posted on 08/24/2014 2:00:49 PM PDT by TigerClaws

Hitler and his henchmen victimized an entire continent and exterminated millions in his quest for a co-called "Master Race."

But the concept of a white, blond-haired, blue-eyed master Nordic race didn't originate with Hitler. The idea was created in the United States, and cultivated in California, decades before Hitler came to power. California eugenicists played an important, although little known, role in the American eugenics movement's campaign for ethnic cleansing.

The British were worse than the Americans, but the Americans were more successful in getting the laws passed. And those targeted in theUK were the Irish, whereas in the US it tended to be poor southern whites, Jews, Irish and blacks.

There are others, too. Read about them on a couple of lib democrat websites that quit posting about the Fed Reserve after the election in 2008. I did ask them why they stopped. Ha!

That's nonsense. For a woman to have a baby as often as possible requires having sex about once every ten months, and that's if she doesn't breastfeed her babies. (They had free baby formula in the Neanderthal days, right?)

Once every ten months is "randy as stoats"?


Well maybe comparing the Neanderthals to "stoats" was a bit of an exaggeration...but if they interbred early and often and you "times" that by 20 or 30,000 years you don't have any pure-bred Neanderthals left.

Plus it has been authenticated in notes on the walls of Neanderthal caves that the old saying "once you go black, you never go back" was initially penned by Ogg, in the year 122,000 B.C.

That’s the case with the line, “Three generations of idiots is enough” I believe.

Darwin's son Leonard was the first president of the British Eugenics society. Alfred Ploetz, later a nazi, was one of the directors. Leonard Darwin said this...
"As an agency making for progress, conscious selection must replace the blind forces of natural selection; and men must utilize all the knowledge acquired by studying the process of evolution in the past in order to promote moral and physical progress in the future. The nation which first takes this great work thoroughly in hand will surely not only win in all matters of international competition, but will be given a place of honour in the history of the world." —Leonard Darwin, Presidential address, First International Eugenics Congress, 1912.

Darwin’s views on race are more than clear in his follow-up book “The Ascent of Man.” His disciples include Francis Galton and Margaret Sanger.

The influence primarily responsible for the modern eugenics movement was the establishment of the doctrine of organic evolution following the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species in 1859.

—Samuel J. Holmes, Human Genetics, ch.25 (1936).

It's at about this time that all of the blueblood, elite, private boarding schools (Choate, Andover) were formed, for the reason of preserving pure bloodlines.

All this time I thought it was Margret Sanger, abortionist and eugenicist, who wanted to get rid of America's blacks this way? Eugenics was a very big deal among the intelligentsia of the early 20th century. Then Hitler came along, implemented the kinds of things the eugenicists wanted, and they were horrified. That's why Sanger changed her tune and rechristened her beliefs as “planned parenthood”.

His problem is as daunting then as it is today. The vast likelihood of an aberration is to extinguish a species, not to enhance it.
