If you really want to learn what all the fuss is about, why don't we just quote Darwin's "Bull-bugger" Tommy Huxley directly, shall we?:

“No rational man, cognizant of the facts, believes that the average Negro is the equal, still less the superior, of the white man.....it is simply incredible to think that.....he will be able to compete successfully with his bigger-brained and smaller-jawed rival, in a contest which is to be carried on by thoughts and not by bites."

(Thomas Huxley, 1871, Lay Sermons, Addresses and Reviews, Chap. ii)

Just about the most succinct if not damning statement one of Darwin's own contemporaries and acolytes could have possibly uttered. It is what Darwinism is ultimately all about -- the dehumanizing and exploitation of masses of perceived "lesser humans" by an elite. Little wonder Marx himself was so intrigued by the concept.

It doesn't come close to what Martin Luther said about Jews.

Evolutionary biology is the truth observed in nature. How some people may misinterpret it, doesn't make it any less true.

Darwin has said stuff just as damning, but it’s all good to the evos because he opposed slavery.

Huxley said that a lond time ago.

OTOH Henry Madison Morris (who died only THIS century) believed the natural state of the descendents of Ham was as hewers of wood and drawers of water.
