If, as the author of the article states, the earliest ancestors to humans were dark-skinned Africans, then how is it false to say that dark-skinned Africans are the closest human descendants to monkeys?
Well no not necessarily. Evolution doesn’t just stop, just because early humans were dark skinned and modern day Africans are dark skinned doesn’t mean that Africans are genetically closer because they never stopped evolving. The genetics of Africans could actually be further from our ancestors than Europeans, whose to say? But I do agree with you that if it turned out, say, Asian people are the most genetically similar to cro magnons or whatever it would matter and wouldn’t be racist to point that out in a scientific context (using it to make fun of people obviously would be)
As to your article yeah it’s very dumb. You see this kind of thing with portrayals of Jesus too. Every culture makes Jesus look like someone from their culture. It’s just a natural and normal thing to do. If that’s racist, so much of human psychology is racist that we may as well scratch the whole “racism is the root of all evil” idea and start over.
I want to unmask the lie that evolution denial is about religion and recognize that at its core, it is a form of white supremacy that perpetuates segregation and violence against Black bodies.
Lmao people can and have used anything to justify racism-religion, history, science, politics. Evolution has 1000% been used to justify racism. Has the author never heard of scientific racism? This might be a troll article, idk. Sometimes I think these people need to just be told to shut the fuck up
