Einstein & Blacks

[basquebromance]

here's Einstein giving a lecture on relativity in 1946 (after the war, before the civil rights movement). His peers criticized this appearance. The press purposefully didn't cover it. He simply wanted to inspire young minds with the beauty and power of science.

"
Dr. Albert Einstein was a genius but one aspect of the genius' life, that is often overlooked, is his relationship with African Americans and his role in the Civil Rights movement.
In 1946, he visited Lincoln University, an HBCU located in Chester County, Pennsylvania. The school is the alma mater to some of the greats including, Langston Hughes and Thurgood Marshall, Cab Calloway, and was the first university that allowed African Americans to earn their degrees. The importance of Einstein's visit is that he did so, reportedly, in spite of having never given speeches due to his age and health. More so, it is important because he shirked the racial climate at the time. Prejudice and racial violence against blacks was established. Within this period, segregation was a way of life, and several lynchings and riots had occurred. He spoke out against racism and took questions from the students. He also went on to pen a series of essays denouncing racism against Black Americans "

Question, so if a Jewish man like Einstein was nice to blacks then why does this man hate them?

And if Louis hates them, then how is racism a disease only for the white man?

White devils want to know.

White devils want to know.

Who told you he hated Einstein and what does that have to do with Einstein saying racism was a disease of white people?

"You can’t separate Newton from the law that Newton discovered, nor can you separate Einstein from the theory of relativity. It would be silly to try to separate Moses from the Torah or Jesus from the Gospel or Muhammad from the Koran. "

Seems to me Farakkan respects Einstein. Can you find a quote somewhere with him saying he hates Einstein?

Dude, he said Hitler was a great man.

He obviously is a fan of what he did with the Jews as he refers to Jews as termites.

He also calls white people white devils.

He is a racist troll from hell.

He has his reasons.

I'm assuming you cant find a quote with him specifically disparaging Einstein then?

Theres usually some good in most areas. There are no absolutes.

That photograph in the OP speaks volumes.

Notice how well-dressed the men were? Of course, in those days, men of all ethnicities dressed well.
They took pride in their appearance.

It is really unfair to compare the bad actors in today's Chicago to young African American men in earlier decades (before the scourge of drugs). The latter were often a real credit to their families and above all to themselves. And they did not have today's opportunities!
