The problem is, ToE was not co-opted by it's earliest proponents, they were the ones who defined it and made it public through their writings. They taught the ideas, they coined the phrases.

Darwin was its earliest proponent and he defined it. If it is inherently racist as you seem to be claiming, then you need evidence to support this assertion. Unless this is not what you're saying, in which case all you can truthfully say here is that some people misrepresented the ToE in order to use it as bogus evidence for racist ideas.
