Right now, says that racism, which I disagree with, was given the go ahead by scientists of the time
PLEASE NOTE:
I do not agree with scientists who said at the time that white men are greater than any other race, so please don't quote me as being racist, I am of two different race birth
What time? If they're talking the colonial period, they#re right. I did a major essay on it last year. Scientists devised methods, such as the measuring of peoples faces, and basically if your face measure a certain way, you were more likely to have certain characteristics which made you less human, or something like that. And any religion or culture that was not European was painted as being "savage" and "primitive" and therefore, this meant non whites were low down on the hierarchy and NEEDED to be colonised so that they could be put on the right path and enlightened 
This was, of course, just an excuse to enslave races all over the world.
I love to experience life in all its agonising glory. |  | |

Truly amazing, isn't it  And bit scary 
Why is it amazing? America in the old days was extremely racist. As recent as the 1940s they were still arguing crap like black people can't see in the dark. And it wasn't until 100 years after the abolition of slavery that equal rights were finally guaranteed under the law. | | | |
