Seems to me that at the same time that Darwin was spewing his racist rants in the US

??? (Need to make some boiler plate for this it seems)

Darwin never visited the United States, but he was VERY strongly opposed to slavery and VERY much in favor of the war against the Confederacy for this reason (at a time when many an Englishman favored the Confederacy). Check out his correspondence during the war with the American Botanist Asa Gray.

Yeah, whatever you do, do not read his words like Hitler, Marx & company did. That would just muck up the statue.

I just love how G3K does that, he wants to think something, so he assumes that it's true, and then nothing you can give him, facts, evidence etc that refute his assumption go out of his brain like water off a duck.

It would be rather amusing if it didn't have the telltale signs of a mental illness.

Never said he visited the US, you need to learn to read. Whether he was in favor of the War or not is irrelevant, his racism justified slavery and gave support for it.
