Hey dudes I've heard before that darwin was a racist but decided to look into it a tad so I am going to show some stuff that says he's racist and someone else show some stuff to say he wasn't.
So because he said that some races are more primitive looking than others he's racist? I don't see him saying 'I hate niggers' or anything similar in there.

I think it's mor complicated then that.
At some future period not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace the savage races throughout the world. At the same time the anthropomorphous apes...will no doubt be exterminated. The break between man and his nearest Allies will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilised state, as we may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as the baboon, instead of as now between the Negro or Australian and the gorilla (1874, p. 178).
NO! No no no! Get out! GET OUT! I refuse to give you further credence or anyone who calls Darwin a racist. He drew scientific data from his observations! He was a scientist and was impartial in his findings. He may be wrong in what he finds but that does not make him a racist. Now will somebody PLEASE lock this thread. And Holt will you please stop making these threads!
Early evolution lead (somewhat) to the "study of eugenics which was a racist philosophy. Based on Darwin's observations and conclusions racism following isn't that much of a stretch but his theory was objective with what he knew.
As a side note it was recently proven that there isn't such a thing as race.
Right, but didn't God make black people? So God is racist too, for making them appear primitive and similar to apes.
It's more than appearence but you seem to ignore that.

Then you can go play with all the little kids while us adults have a discussion.

Let me rephrase that. Without knowledge genetics and other studies that are now vital to the discipline of evolution sometimes observations such as-no wait that's just eugenics. No Darwin wasn't racist but to some people evolution was seen as an excuse to be, this is wrong. Simply wrong.
He only stated that the strong survive and adapt to the world. Strength could be measured in many ways, physical, mental, social... whatever.
Those that are stupid and have bad physical conditions will die, those that don't will live. It makes no difference between black and white, Jewish or Christian. If you possess strength, you will most likely live on.

Thank you for having the capacity to talk in a civilized mannor.

Not anymore or at least not physical strength. Survival of the fittest should be interpreted as survival of those who can gain the most resources and reproduce more frequently.

I didn't put the links there for nothing you can go ahead and look at them.
