Social Darwinism

I can't help but think that racism cannot be eradicated without completely #exposing, #discrediting and #rejecting Social Darwinism.

#Darwin borrowed “survival of the fittest” concept from sociologist #HerbertSpencer and “struggle for existence” from economist #ThomasMalthus to decide that human societies evolve over time, particularly to imply that, #Whites are biologically superior to other races or more "#fit" for power, while #ColouredRaces have failed to evolve with time or are "#unfit" to rule, become self-determined and therefore innately lazy and stupid. Coloured #Immigrants in majority White countries continued to be perceived by Whites as weak and unfit to survive and flourish in their societies. 

Spencer opposed any laws that helped poor workers because he insisted that they are genetically inferior.
Devils like him popularized extinction of the “unfit” races. #FrancisGalton (a half-cousin of Darwin) launched a new “science” aimed at improving the human race by ridding society of its “#undesirables.” Galton proposed to better humankind by propagating the #Britishelite through colonization. 

#Hitler adopted the social Darwinist take on survival of the fittest. He believed the German #masterrace had grown weak due to the influence of non-Aryans in Germany. To Hitler, survival of the German “#Aryan” race depended on its ability to maintain the #purity of its gene pool which he excised by kills millions of people. 

We cannot #CondemnRacism and #RacistAttacks like #ChristChurchShooting without castigating and damning #SocialDarwinism which gave birth to racism. 

Racial and ethnic categories used by racists are constructed and based on the false ideas of Social Darwinism. Superficial criteria of intelligence and aptitude based on physical appearance have been used to create categories of people and classified humans as animals or even sub par. 

Human beings did not originate from Apes. Every human being is equal and capable of the same amount of success as any other person of any colour. We are all creation of Allah and we all descended from Adam (a.s) who lived in Paradise.
