Trying to determine some of the root causes of contemporary racism against Black people is a worth-while exploration. And it is something that I have pondered for some time.
I currently believe that modern and contemporary racism against Black people is being greatly influenced by those who promote Charles Dawin’s theory of evolution. Case-in-point, consider the following quote from the July 23, 1904, edition of Scientific American:
They are small, ape-like, elfish creatures . . . they live in absolute savagery, and while they exhibit many ape-like features in their bodies, they possess a certain alertness which appears to make them more intelligent than other Negroes . . . the existence of the pygmies is of the rudest; they do not practice agriculture, and keep no domestic animals. They live by means of hunting and snaring, eking this out by means of thieving from the big Negroes, on the outskirts of whose tribes they usually establish their little colonies, though they are as unstable as water, and range far and wide through the forests. They have seemingly become acquainted with metal only through contact with superior beings.
The “small, ape-like, elfish creatures” mentioned in the article is refering to Black people! Why? Because Darwinists have preconceived notions of evolution in their view that the “pygmies,” as mentioned in the article, were inferior, sub-human beings! The evolutionists define pygmies as those of the Black race. This is definitely subvertive and oppressive beliefs.
Of course evolutionists and Darwinists will try to deny they are racists or that they promote racism, but their lies are easily exposed by the history of their actions and beliefs. The words of an actual Evolutionist further exposes the promotion of racism as a by-product of evolution:
“Biological arguments for racism may have been common before 1859, but they increased by orders of magnitude following the acceptance of evolutionary theory, (Stephen Jay Gould, a leading evolutionist (Ontogeny and Phylogeny, 1977)).
And to what extreme can beliefs in the theory of evolution take humans? Stalin, Hitler, and Mao were responsible for the deaths of tens of millions, and such actions can be shown that they did this because of the influence of Darwinian naturalism, which fanned the flames of ethnic superiority. Historian Arthur Keith gave evidence to this when he wrote these words in the book, Evolution and Ethics:
To see evolutionary measures and tribal morality being applied rigorously to the affairs of a great modern nation, we must turn again to Germany of 1942. We see Hitler devoutly convinced that evolution provides the only real basis for a national policy. . . . The German Fuhrer, as I have consistently maintained, is an evolutionist; he has consciously sought to make the practice of Germany conform to the theory of evolution.
More could be said about the theory of evolution and its influence on racism against Blacks, but I think these are enough to say that Darwin and his erroneous teachings are racist and promoters of racism.
I do think this evolution garbage is one of the root causes of the problem of modern racism. We need to talk about this more and make others aware of this. If anyone doubts how evolution fans the flames of racism, then do an Internet search on a man named, Ota Benga. What the Evolutionists did to this man is disgraceful.
