Do Away With Racist Darwin in All Schools!!!

[JoeB131]

Daniel Kevles, a professor of the history of science and medicine at Yale, wrote an essay titled “In the Name of Darwin.” In it, he observes: “The word ‘eugenics’ was coined in 1883 by the English scientist Francis Galton, a cousin of Charles Darwin, to promote the ideal of perfecting the human race by, as he put it, getting rid of its ‘undesirables’ while multiplying its ‘desirables.’” Essentially, humanity could give natural selection a hand by getting rid of those who (in the eyes of “desirables”) should just fade away eventually anyway.

But don't we already do that today through genetic screening for diseases such as Tay-Sachs, Down Syndrome, Cystic Fibrosis, etc. So Galton wasn't that far off, the technology just wasn't there yet.

Darwin was a prominent abolitionist.

he wasnt so much an abolitionist but a person that believed all people of color were inferior and needed extermination,,,

Well, actually, you're just clueless.

Darwin's concept of "human races" was strikingly modern in context of the time. He refused the notion that there was any consistent definition of a human "race''. He rejected any system of racial delineation or how one could systematically define them. He concluded that the human "races" blended as a function of geography; that nowhere were there "pure" races. His writings indicated that he thought race was a nearly useless concept.

Darwin had "racist tendencies'' bur far less than the history that defines xtianity, that bastion of hate and intolerance. The man had contradictions. Darwin was also one of the most racially tolerant public individuals in 19th Century Britain. He described and condemned the allowance of slavery in the xtian British Commonwealth and the Americas.

Fetuses aren't babies.

The REpublicans in the 1920's were just as anxious to get the support of the Klan.

In fact, it was when Klan leaders in Indiana were caught in a scandal the organization began it's decline.

The History of Hate in Indiana: Rise of the KKK

There was a time in the 1920s when being seen as a good, upstanding Hoosier meant joining the Ku Klux Klan.

Quotes by Racist Darwin are many and vile:

"At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace, the savage races throughout the world." (Charles Darwin, The descent of Man, Chap. vi)



"The chief distinction in the intellectual powers of the two sexes is shown by mans attaining to a higher eminence, in whatever he takes up, than the woman. Whether deep thought, reason, or imagination or merely the use of the senses and hands.....We may also infer.....The average mental power in man must be above that of woman." (Charles Darwin, "The descent of Man, pg. 566")

"The Negroid stock is even more ancient than the Caucasian and the Mongolian, as may be proved by an examination not only of the brain, of the hair, of the bodily characters, such as the teeth, the genitalia, the sense organs, but of the instincts, the intelligence. The standard intelligence of the average adult Negro is similar to that of the 11 year old youth of the species homo-sapiens." (Dr. H.F. Osborn, Director of the Museum of National History)

"The more civilized so-called Caucasian races have beaten the Turkish hollow in the struggle for existence. Looking to the world at no very distant date, what an endless number of lower races will have been eliminated by the higher civilized races throughout the world." (Charles Darwin, 1881, 3 July, "Life and Letters of Darwin, vol. 1, 316")

BUT, the Leftists and atheists will scream with horror, "What will you REPLACE it with!"

Who says a theory which has been thoroughly discredited needs to be replaced? What statues will be "REPLACING" those of Columbus, and George Washington and Robert E. Lee? Perhaps Karl Marx, icon of BLM?

Okay, you can have them taken out of public places of learning, but ONLY if you do the same with any pro-Marxist/Leninist writers. They too are an abomination.

Sounds like you guys are gagging for a bit of book burning!

Racism is just another man made religion based in narcissism.

Ha ha ha ha ha. An atheist, calling people of faith "narcissists."
Atheists are forever claiming to be intellectually superior to all others, morally superior to all others, scientifically superior to all others, rationally superior to all others, and too many gullible sheep fall for the Big Lies. Join us atheists and be better than everybody else. They're narcissists.

To my Ignore List you go jackie.

The fact that his original book "On The Origin Of Species" By Charles Darwin, has to be manipulated to bring in a racial element proves you aim to misread, misquote and misrepresent the subject.

Ever get bored with knuckle dragging?

Oz, you're clearly someone who is VERY enlightened and well educated, well traveled, financially successful, and in all other aspects, a quite spectacular human being - a grand prize for any woman lucky enough to land YOU.
Now please won't you express to one and all reading this thread a medium sized list of your successes in life - the grandiose things that put you well out of the "knuckle dragging" category?
For example, if words escape you, enclose a photo of the front of your personal residence, that we may admire. How about a photo of you doing something quite out of the ordinary, something you do very well. I have some ideas but won't spoil things by asking too much of you. A picture of your car, or you in your professional capacity.

I can't wait to learn about how great you are, in the Lakes Region of jolly old England, which, by the way, I have visited many times. Brits are, by and large, polite and good sports. You would appear to be an exception to that general rule.

A list of my achievements would have about as much bearing on the intention of your threads objective (removal of Darwin's Evolutionary Theory from school curriculums) as you proving Darwin was a racist.
Great paintings require provenance to ensure they are not faked copies. The written word however must stand or fall simply based on whether the information it conveys is true or false, so it wouldn't matter if Darwin turned out to be 'Jack the Ripper'.
Darwin's 'On the Origin of Species' was as great a contribution to science in explaining Homo sapien's place in the universe, as Einsteins 'Theory of Relativity', was in explaining the universe itself.
These two theories have been accepted and built on over many decades and are taught throughout the world in both capitalist and communist societies.
Your task is futile in that even if US Bible bashers succeeded in convincing Americans to ditch Darwin, the rest of the world would just ignore you.

I was originally educated in a strict Roman Catholic school in which neither evolution nor physics were taught.
I had to re educate myself as a teenager.
If you want to teach your children that the world is 4000 years old and that God made man, then took one of his ribs to create woman, then that is up to you. I don't think it is my 'knuckle dragging' comment, though that has wound you up, but my comparing your objective with the Nazi book burning of the 1930's, because that is exactly what you are doing. Kids can learn evolutionary theory in school and religious instruction in church and why not leave it up to them to decide on their beliefs?

The POINT WAS your calling me a "knuckle dragger," as if your own accomplishments put you well above ME. You weren't discussing the point of the thread. You avoided any mention of Darwin's racist claims which lead to the deaths of countless hundreds of thousands pursuant to his eugenics.
No, you avoided THE SUBJECT, calling ME "knuckle dragger" as if it made you look smarter and more successful, which clearly you need to feel. You refused to provide anything substantial as to your own personal superiority, which you Leftists smugly assume and pretend all the time but rarely demonstrate.

"Removal of Darwin's Evolutionary Theory from school curriculums" is YOUR phrase, not mine.
You can't even stick to the subject, which was Darwin's published racism and eugenics. Deadly. Ignorant. Anti-science and unintelligent. Like calling someone who is your superior in every meaningful way a "knuckle dragger".

Now to my Ignore List you go. I've wasted too much time on you already, boy.

Addendum: After thinking further about Oz' jejune personal attack, "knuckle dragger," it must be noted with amusement that he engages in the very same sense of personal superiority that is the subject of the thread. The only trouble is, it never occured to Oz. The Fallacy of the Argument From Authority snares Leftists constantly. They CLAIM intellectual superiority, thinking that if they're smarter than everyone else, then they MUST be right. That does not follow, but they can't think clearly. Wisdom escapes them. Take the Unabomber, please. And other socialist university professors, who appear in the news weekly, saying the stupidest, most anti-American things imaginable.
