In an effort to “cancel” historical racists, culture has missed one of the most influential racists of all time.

[__ Science __ ] Should We Cancel Darwin?
- Thread starter AIG.com
- Start date
Cancelled, but not erased. Darwin should be taught in schools as a racist and atheist, not as a valid scientist who wrote truth. But easier said than done. We need more Christian teachers and administrators who are willing to defy the so-called acceptable ideas of society and so-called higher learning centers.

Actually, racists of Darwin's day assailed him for opposing slavery and for him arguing that if one brought uncivlilized people to England, in a few generations,they'd be just like Englishmen. That really got them going, particularly in the Southern United States, where blacks were often not even considered humans. Agassiz, one prominent anti-Darwinist, even said that blacks were not descended from Adam and Eve.
Darwin thought some races were more developed than others, but modern evolutionary theory has shown that there are no biological human races. Unfortunately, many creationists, even into the 1990s, were still writing foolish attacks on black people for their supposed intellectual and spiritual inferiority. Henry Morris, of the ICR was one of these. It's one of the major differences between science and creationism. And no, not all creationists are racists. Many are not. Some, even in Darwin's time, joined with him in opposing slavery.
In the United States, creationists like Dr. William Tinkel were enthusiastic eugenics supporters, even after Darwinists like Morgan and Punnet had shown that eugenic beliefs were scientifically unsupportable. Dr. Tinkle was later appalled to find that his ideas were taken by Hitler and (along with Martin Luther's advice on Jewish people) perverted to horrible ends.

The connection between racism and creationism isn't a mandatory one. The concern is that so many leaders of the creationist movement have been racists.
Yet the prophecy again has its obverse side. Somehow they have only gone so far and no farther. The Japhethites and Semites have, sooner or later, taken over their territories, and their inventions, and then developed them and utilized them for their own enlargement. Often the Hamites, especially the Negroes, have become actual personal servants or even slaves to the others. Possessed of a genetic character concerned mainly with mundane matters, they have eventually been displaced by the intellectual and philosophical acumen of the Japhethites and the religious zeal of the Semites.

That was a great article... Now when i hear about some radical lefties trying to cancel something i will suggest that we also cancel Charles Darwin... We would also have to cancel Karl Marx... I'd love to see some of their reactions at suggesting we cancel these guys as well. LoL...
The fact is that we would have to cancel everybody from before the 19th century for being racist
