Scientific Racism: The Eugenics of Social Darwinsi

[nebsen]

This is a BBC documentary that should be seen by everyone ! Both Black White & in between. I commend BBC for doing such an honest documentary, for I doubt PBS would do such a film. Their is information that I myself, had never heard, which was shocking to me. It helped me to really understand the roots of white supremacy esp. here in America which has it's roots in the 18th century.

I see a few have checked out "Scientific Racism". I don't know about those who have watched this documentary, but I can't shake what this film had to inform the public about. I personally found it disturbing & unsettling. I guess in do part because I saw what white supremacy & hatred can do. When i was about 10 years old I was taken to see the open casket of Emit Till in the summer of 55 I believe . My parents argued & my dad felt that I should see first hand what white supremacy & hatred could produce. My Mom felt I was too young, but my dad won out. I remember standing in the extremely hot summer sun that only one could feel in Chicago at that time of year ;with about a thousand or more waiting to get inside this auditorium . As we got in the auditorium I began to hear wails of despair & saw Black women fainting in front of the casket, my heart started to pond in my chest at a rapid rate.I even saw a white man who had passed out being fanned by a Black women in white, in the pews along with others being fanned because they too had fainted by the sight. When my dad & I was nearing the casket the Black women in front of us with her daughter said she was going to put her hands over her face to shield her daughter from the sight. Than our turn in line came to look at Emit Till. I could not believe what I was seeing, for I did not believe that was a real human being, but only a dummy, like in the horror films of my youth. I could not sleep for 3 days & my Mom & dad continued to argue about him taking me to see Emit Till. I think my dad reasoning being he was from the deep south & knew what white supremacy & racism was capable of doing. Me born & raised in Chicago, did not have a clue. So It was in his mind a "Rite Of Passage" into Black Manhood, wrongly or rightly !! As I recount this story to others some feel I was way to young. But, I as a grown Black man now, I really understood why my dad took me to this historical event in America's history. I became a witness at the beginning of the second half of the Civil Rights movement in this country !

So watching "Scientific Racism" brought all that up for me. This documentary is the real deal family. I suggest you try & check it out before it is taken down. You get a real look into what White Supremacy is capable of & it's roots & you will never view the holocaust the same way either ! !
