Darwinians Displayed Bones of "Inferior" Races in Museums

Sept. 24, 2020

Displaying the bones of ‘inferior races’ in museums: The whitewashing of Darwinism may be ending

by Jerry Bergman, PhD

Introduction

One of the few positive changes that resulted from the recent protests in America has been a reexamination of Darwin’s racial legacy. It is well-documented that Darwinism was foundational to the flourishing of the so-called race science that birthed the “scientific racists.” The late Harvard Professor, Steven Jay Gould, coined the term “scientific racists,” for those who attempt to base their racism on science, especially Darwinism. The scientific racists believed that the most primitive human races, below even African Blacks, were the Hottentots and Australian aborigines.[1] Charles Darwin, agreed and concluded that the “European view that . . . so-called Hottentot women provided a ‘somewhat primitive, grotesque nature of black female sexuality.’”[2]

Darwin used the term Hottentots at least seven times in his writings.[3] Explorer and author, John Barrows, saw the Hottentots as “the lowest of the low, a missing link between humans and apes.”[4] They were not only regarded as racially inferior, but also as physically, intellectually, morally, and even culturally inferior.[5] The term “Hottentot” comes from the Dutch who perceived the Hottentot South-African language of Khoekhoe primitive and ape-like, close to stuttering.[6] One critical example of the legacy of the “scientific racists” was museum exhibits, some of which remain to this day.

The Cadaver of Berlin Dairy Merchant Menachem Taffel murdered August 17 or 19 in the gas chamber at Natzweiler. Note the tattooed number on his arm, allowing us to know who he was and the fact that he was part of the Nazi attempt to prove Darwinism. (Wiki Commons)

Ginsberg said this was why they pushed Roe v Wade through, to reduce the populations of undesirable races.

Cultures, not races, can be superior/inferior to one another. A superior culture is based on morals which come from God. Inferior ones are based on values that come from the dark hearts of flawed humans. They come from false assumptions and intentions that look good on the surface, but only serve to hide the corrupt nature of mankind.

Oh, “scientific” racism is still very alive today. But usually Charles Murray is quoted rather than Darwin.

I wonder if the smart-asses that put these on their cars know this about themselves.

If all you have are bones, how do you determine what a person’s race was?

Ginsberg said this was why they pushed Roe v Wade through, to reduce the populations of undesirable races.

Indeed she did, and more specifically, it was to allow public funding to get rid of these undesirables. It was about government sponsored and funded eugenics.

Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion.

Unlike Margaret Sanger, RBG is too big to fail be cancelled, at least for now.

It’s terribly unfashionable to mention such things, but there are clear skeletal differences between the various races. A trained anatomist or paleontologist can almost always discern the race of a person from skeletal remains.

Thank you. I will let this be known to all the brainwashed around me. I knew all about Sanger and the black preachers, and Darwin but not this wicked woman’s own words.

I said smart-asses, not dumb-asses... Evolution is one thing, mocking Christians in general is another. Flat Earthers are a totally lost cause.

“mocking Christians in general is another.”

It’s humorous, unlike the article.

Catastrophic plate tectonics assumes a spherical Earth, by the way.

You spend too much time on flat earth threads!
