Racial Equality?

[PornoDoggy]

Strangely enough, this is not the first time I've run across the topic lately. It seems that interest in eugenics is reviving amongst the new breed of white supremicists. The new folks aren't just beer-bellied bubbas screaming nigger every third word (at least not in public); my understanding is that one of the leaders in that movement gathering quite a following is Ivy-Leauge educated.

Such pseudoscience does tend to put a positive veneer on things that might desperately need polishing up, in much the same way that decrying "the discriminatory [sic] practice of restricting the right of an employer to hire who he wants" does sound a lot better than "Bubba shouldn't have to hire no (niggers/spicks/micks/wops/kikes/ragheads/krauts/redskins/faggots/bitches/tutsis/hutus) if'n he don't want to."

As Colin correctly pointed out, the entire nature of this debate has been framed by the abuses that the so-called science of eugenics was used to justify in the the 20th century. Most of the people I have heard attempting to use arguements based on it have been cut from the same cloth as the Nazis and their American step cousins, the Klan/White Supremicists. I suppose that's just the Maltese Cross that the proponents of the science must carry.
