Scientist anthropologist historians all have had racist among them who created stupid theories like this one trying to imply once again that whites are men and blacks are beasts and uncivilized as a black man I'd expect you to know this

Ah, right, I'm aware. A great listing of this is a book, Mismeasure of Man, by Stephen J. Gould.

Science is made up of theories. Perhaps my wording was off not every theory is racist but this one is. Oh, ok, I gotcha.

And really, I should've asked "what do you mean", but I was drive-by posting.

There is a history of racism in science, although during those times racism was pervasive throughout society as a whole. I mean you had people who weren't allowed to look other people in the eye or speak English with too much diction.

Not to mention that was during the stone ages of biological science (compared with today; today, we don't even need to simply eyeball the outer shell, genetics tells us the who family-story).
