I wonder if there are any historical examples of racial discrimination justified by invoking evolution.
This argument is hilarious but this is not a turn I expected it to take.

- josephg 4y ago> The important thing is establishing that one group has too many resources which rightfully belong to some other group I understand the arguments, but I don't think I'll ever be comfortable with the police taking someone's house from them because they're white.
- kenjackson 4y agoNo one will take your house for that reason by itself. But they might take it when you can no longer afford to pay the mortgage because you were convicted of a drug felony where you were given a harsher sentence than someone of a different race, after being arrested under suspicion that others wouldn’t be. As a result you can’t find a job after release from prison.
- josephg 4y ago> because you were convicted of a drug felony where you were given a harsher sentence than someone of a different race Sounds racist. I’m not comfortable with that.
