"So, you're saying there was no racism before 1859."

Yes I am.

Just as there were no totalitarian governments prior to Marx.

Gumlegs: So, you're saying there was no racism before 1859.

Yes I am.

Arrant nonsense. It betrays a total ignorance of the entire history of humankind.

I can't believe you actually wrote that! Did you sleep under a rock when you were in History class? Dsid you even go to school or were you homeschooled with revisionist history? Virtually every government on earth prior to the founding of the United States was totalitarian. Racism is as old as civillization. The term 'barbarian' when used by the Ro0mans was not a term of endearment. It was racist 2000 years ago. And don't get me started on old testament stories where racism was also practiced.
