The article is full of direct quotes from primary sources at many points throughout history, and actually makes some very illuminating points about the origins of racism, namely that slavery helped create racism because it was (and is) more profitable than other less effective means of dividing up the human race into more of easily dominated subgroups. This is an article about how humans have been convinced to turn against each other over table scraps, and the immense misery that has resulted. Maybe you are more invested in maintaining those divisions than in trying to understand their origins. Maybe you're just another worthless illiterate, desperate to feel superior to someone. But I don't really have enough evidence to make such claims. The article is chock full, however.
- MikeUt 5y ago> primary sources at many points throughout history That's like debunking alchemy, then claiming you've disproven chemistry. Do those primary sources prove that Europeans are not, on average, more closely related to other Europeans, than to other peoples? Do they make clusters on genetic distance maps [1,2] go away?
