Today, I will discuss about "Racism." Some may ask, "What kind of conspiracies would racists have?" Well, in this time, it is not a person who has a racial conspiracy; it is a country which has a racial conspriracy. Let's begin.
What is this?
We only know that Hitler's Nazi Germany was the only country that tried to put the "racial hygiene" program in action. Well, not really. In the early twentieth centry, more than fourteen countries, including the United States, approved some of "racial hygiene" program legislation.
Want to know more?
In fact, the United States of America was the first industrialized nation to enact racial purification laws before Germany did. In the first thirty years of this century, thirty of these U.S. states passed sterilization laws. The true number cannot be know, but as many as 60,000 people were "legally" sterilized by the government because they were simply "idiots" or "morons".
In some cases, the most enthusiasitc engenics advocates from society's upper strata started to be show in front of the public. The first "Race Betterment Conference" took place in Battle Creek, Michigan; Dr. John Harvey Kellogg and other scientists tried to "prove" that blacks were stupid, Jews were greedy, Mexicans were lazy, which people with good table manner were born to be superior.
Some of these scientists later earned a huge popularity from their works. William Shockley, who was the Nobel Prize- winning electronics scientist, advanced a proposal in total seriousness to pay person- I mean, black people, with low IQ scores to have themselves sterilized. Also, Konrad Lorenz , who was accepted as a member of Nazi Party in 1938, wrote a paper talking about principles of ethology and "eliminationg inferior races". Later, he accepted his Nobel Prize in Sweden.
What do I think?
What do you think I am thinking? Sometimes, I think there is no evil in this world. Evil can only be seen when we think somebody is evil; that is for sure. By the way, if you think it is not a conspiracy, sorry.
