Evolutionist Admits Darwins Connection to Racism

Finally, Some Honesty about Darwins Direct Connection to Racism: One AAAS Scientist Admits Evolutions Sordid Past
by Jerry Bergman, PhD
Although often ignored, some science organizations that embrace evolution acknowledge the close causative connection between Darwinism and racism.
""...Despite some inaccuracies and fierce opposition, Darwins blend of novel hypotheses and good rhetoric transformed the scientific world within a few decades. By the late-nineteenth century scientific racism that had made polygenism so popular was soon drawing people to a new cause: eugenics.""
So says John P. Slattery, Ph.D., a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS, the most prestigious science body in the U.S.). In his essay this month in Commonweal, he admits thatdespite its recent improvement in the area of racethe record of Darwinian
""...science has not always aligned so well with modern values of equality and the common good. The history of science includes not only racial hierarchies, but also Western cultural supremacy, [and] the militarization of scientific knowledge.[1]""
Slattery ... ties to SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER
Lets not forget all those devout Christians who racialized slavery hundreds of years before Darwin was born.
There is something to the bell curve, it’s real.
Actually, it is the racist dumb-asses who used Darwinism for their eugenics bull crap they used to justify their extermination of “unfit” human beings. The Democrats have this as their legacy and everyone is sweeping this part of their history under the rug with Orwellian New Speak.
Though nearly everyone in the 19th century held ideas consisted racist now, Darwin didn't say that. Those lines are from a book called "The Clansman: An Historical Romance of the Ku Klux Klan".
“Whenever Darwin is criticized on FR, there is a certain derangement syndrome that takes hold on many brains here.”
Your dude, Slattery, has a serious case of TDS!
“consisted” — I meant “considered”
“Whenever Darwin is criticized on FR, there is a certain derangement syndrome that takes hold on many brains here.”
Apparently, your dude hates America!
the most potent application of eugenics was in the United States, whose ruling class held tightly to racism .
You are correct. But you can blame him for coming up with a clever yet absurd theory.
Logically, however, Hitler and Stalin et al accepted Darwin’s theory. When God is eliminated, and Darwinism does that, all horrors are possible. There is no accountability.
Yes, that ruling class is aka the DEMOCRAT Party.
Unknown to this day.
Evolutionist Admits Darwins Connection to Racism
Lets see just how can I get my name in print this week. Maybe if I dig up someone dead for decades will do it.
As I said earlier, best we shield our children from knowledge of the natural world.
I said nothing of the kind.
There is not one shred of evidence that non-life to paramecium to man is true. How you extrapolate your comment from what I said is unfathomable.
I know you often post on crevo topics so I know you realize Darwin's theory doesn't address abiogenesis.
Can you fathom a straw man?
Sorry, I meant implied. But evolution itself is only a theory which explains speciation through the long-term effect of adaption. It has nothing to do with the Social Darwinist misinterpretation that was sometimes used for nefarious political purposes.
Is this satire? Michael Brown was a thug who tried to take a cops gun, then ran towards him when he was shot (per the black witnesses who weren't involved in Brown's strong arm robbery before he was shot).
Followers of Black lives matter were involved in at least 10 innocent cop murders including 5 in Dallas.
Saying BLM is "anti-racist?" is Delusional. Its was Anti-cop.
