Biological races do not exist―and never have. This view is shared by all scientists who study variation in human populations. Yet racial prejudice and intolerance based on the myth of race remain deeply ingrained in Western society. In his powerful examination of a persistent, false, and poisonous idea, Robert Sussman explores how race emerged as a social construct from early biblical justifications to the pseudoscientific studies of today.
The Myth of Race traces the origins of modern racist ideology to the Spanish Inquisition, revealing how sixteenth-century theories of racial degeneration became a crucial justification for Western imperialism and slavery. In the nineteenth century, these theories fused with Darwinism to produce the highly influential and pernicious eugenics movement. Believing that traits from cranial shape to raw intelligence were immutable, eugenicists developed hierarchies that classified certain races, especially fair-skinned “Aryans,” as superior to others. These ideologues proposed programs of intelligence testing, selective breeding, and human sterilization―policies that fed straight into Nazi genocide. Sussman examines how opponents of eugenics, guided by the German-American anthropologist Franz Boas’s new, scientifically supported concept of culture, exposed fallacies in racist thinking. Although eugenics is now widely discredited, some groups and individuals today claim a new scientific basis for old racist assumptions. Pondering the continuing influence of racist research and thought, despite all evidence to the contrary, Sussman explains why―when it comes to race―too many people still mistake bigotry for science.

Race is such a preposterous idea that if it weren’t in the Bible nobody would ever have believed it.

Apparently your eyesight is failing you.
Race is not species.

EITHER the vast majority of whites are acting as a group and are specifically being racists, i.e. opreeeeesing the poor blackies… OR there are racial differences.
Kondly pick ONE.
It is not that =I= “mistake bigotry for science”, its that I have no emotional investment in the numbers, unlike the author. Heck. Whiteys are in the middle of the pack. Shrug. That’s life.
It is a fact that some races have genes unique to them. It is also a fact that the impact of gene-frequency is highly significant: just ask a Shih Tzu tossed into a cage full of Rottweilers.
Lets also not ignore e.g. crime stats adjusted for environment.
No one ever said that LIFE ITSELF was “fair”.

Who gets to be “white” or not changes through recent history and geography. Look at the history of South America after colonization to see how confusing it is. Someone who considers themselves black in the USA, would be treated as white in Brazil.
Half my family are from Apartheid South Africa - a deeply insane society.

The word “race” used to mean “nationality”. We believe in nationalities, and we can transfer the associations with it to cover the bad learning about the false version of “race”, which has never existed. The Bible’s use of the word means “nationality”, too. It’s deeply connected with families and, thus, genetics. Nationalities group physical traits by MICRO-evolution, which activates and deactivates existing genes based on parentage and environment.
..yo!…
CULTURE is what fear-based approaches to race are really talking about. yw

Of course there’s a difference in the races, that’s why Europeans were out conquering the world and the Africans were still living in mud huts and eating each other.
Who wins an the Nobel prizes? Jews, because they have a high IQ. Why is Japan peaceful? Because they’re a homogenous society with a high IQ.
Look at South Africa, Zim, Compton, Detroit and many other places.
Race has everything to do with it.

Suspected white supremacists never know their history.
Black Africans were sailing the high seas and conquering lands under the banner of Islam before white Europeans kicked off the colonial era.
Mansa Musa, a black african, is one of the many black africans that made his way to America. Unlike the white european who has a penchant for destruction, the black africans were involved in fair trading and cohabitation with the natives in the americas.
