Why can't people see the link between Darwinism and Racism?
Many people don't know that one of the sub-titles for the Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection" is:
"The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life."
Herr Darwin is emphatic in his "kampf" that fitter, stronger races will naturally the displace the weaker ones and this is to be seen as a positive development in Nature. His theory of natural selection implies that a "select" group or race will prevail over inferior varieties.
Darwin is far more explicit in the "Descent of Man":
"With savages, the weak in body or mind, are soon to be eliminated"
He extends his definiton of race to include all "maladapted" variants within a population and advocates a form of eugenics:
" we build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed, and the sick; we institute poor-laws......all of which must be highly injurious to the race of man."
We all know where this is leading...and so did the Nazis who justified the extermination of their own inferiors according to Darwinian science.
And the sad thing is that Neo-Darwinists are just as fascistic and racist: Dr James Watson is insistent that African people are genetically predisposed to be less intelligent than whites and favors discrimination against them in the workplace.
How can anyone countenance such hateful and nonsensical talk?
