George William Hunter Wrote A Civic Biology in 1914 and said the following [1]:
If you doubt the power of Darwin and racism, consider the last time you received an Amber Alert on your phone regarding a young African-American girl? Why is it that a pretty 10 year old white girl from a middle-class family from Utah gets more attention that a lost Black child in Detroit?
Hollywood often portrays African-Americans in a negative light. Will Smith's The Pursuit of Happyness is a breath of fresh air in this respect. This film is based on Chris Gardner's one-year struggle with homelessness.
For more on Darwin and racism read Denyse O'Leary's excellent piece. We are ALL Noachians now. Special thanks to Richard Hollerman for the Hunter reference.
