Well aside from the fact that blacks and people of color, the lower classes of any color, even the jews in another morbid extension of the same idea, have had to suffer and fight, and suffer and fight still, against an enormous amount of cruel stereoptyping which Darwin's theories supplanted in the minds of people everywhere the ideas flourished as authentic science, I guess there is no reason.
Ah! So there was no racism until Darwin came up with his theories?
Then what were those creationist inquisitors doing to the European Jews during the middle ages? Trying to convince them to convert with eloquent rhetoric?
I have looked into history also and it seems that slaves from Africa were being used long before Darwin came along. Maybe it was slavery without racism. Would you call it equal opportunity slavery? What percentage of slaves were white in America before we accepted evolution and made it a black institution only?
Because neither you nor CTD have stated your purpose for this little history lesson in the Creation Evolution discussion board. However, you continue to insinuate that evolution and evolutionists are the cause of racism like your "...Darwin's theories supplanted in the minds of people everywhere the ideas flourished as authentic science." statement above.
Frederick Douglass was actually quite popular. Until Darwin's theories and explanations for the differences between peoples began to be offically taught in the schools, many whites probably would have never conceived such horrid racist ideas themselves, much less expressed them publicly.
Here it is again. Knowledge of the Theory of Evolution causes racism. I suppose you can show that racism in the United States and England was not popular until after the publishing of Darwin's work.
Also, knowledge of the theory of evolution is more extensive now than it ever has been. Are we more racist now than before 1850? If you believe so, how would you support that belief?
Most scientists agree that the theory of evolution is the most correct explanation for the diversity of life on Earth. Do you have statistics showing a higher percentage of scientists are racist than in the general population?
A higher percentage of the general population of Europeans believe in evolution than the general population of US citizens. Do you have statistics showing a higher percentage of racism in the general population of Europeans than in the general population of US citizens?
What is it exactly that brings you to the conclusion that believing the theory of evolution causes racism?
