He explicitly defined "fittest", in the context of evolutionary science, to mean sufficiently well-adapted to immediate local conditions to be able to reproduce. There is nothing generalisable about this. Intelligence is only useful in human ecological niches; and if the world were underwater you would gladly swap it for gills. But I don't think you'll read Darwin, or any real science on the subject. You'll cling to your popular-science cartoon version of evolution because you need it to support your false, odious worldview, which finally emerges from the swamp: > > Why were Negros treated as slaves in the US? > > Because they allowed themselves to be subjected.

Not only have you blamed the victim on a truly monstrous scale, you have assigned blame not to individuals, but to entire "races". You are saying that something inherent in each race caused them to "allow" their own subjugation. Calling it "sad" does not get you off the hook. Your cover was always thin but now it's blown.
