Albert Einstein Called Racism "A Disease of White People".


does that answer your question???? 


Get rid of all the white people...and you're free of racism.


maybe build an atomic bomb that kills only white people...


not japaneese people, white people...the white devils..

the lighter than blue people..

not the dark people...the light people.


Racism is A Disease of White People. --Albert Einstein 


The smartest guy in the world knows what the fuck he's talking about, don't he?


He built the bomb to kill German people, what color were they??? Blond hair, blue eyes...sounds like White people to me.

It's a racist statement: if it's true that Einstein said it,
then he was a racist.

Read it again: "It's a racist statement". How could you miss that?

I'm not that smart...I don't get it..why does that make Einstein
a racist???? Can you elaborate? Can you expand on it? Can you explain in detail
why Albert Einstein making that statement... makes Einstein a racist?

Seems you're smart enough to recognise that you're not smart.
That's a start.

Just keep thinking: you'll  get there. Maybe.

Making disparaging remarks about your own ethnicity is generally not 
considered to be "racist".

And that's just Political Correctness bullshit, aimed at obfuscating
the hypocrisy of accepting Afro-American racism.

The real "political correctness" is seeing racism under every rock.  IMO 
people who do that are loons and I am bored with dealing with loons, so

Wrong. That's *a* real Political Correctness. Another is the one I
pointed out to you. People who recognise the one and posture over
the other are hypocrites, not worth shitting on.

Let me make something clear to everyone once and for all...

Albert Einstein 'did not' make disparaging remarks about his own ethnicity  here because

Albert Winstein is not White, he's Jewish!

Albert Einstein belongs to the Jewish Race, not the White Race.

In May 1987 the United States Supreme Court handed down its decision that
Jews are a "race" for purposes of the Civil Rights Act of 1866.

Shaare Tefila Congregation v. Cobb, 481 U.S. 615, 617-18 (1987)


and here is a conversation plus the video:


Here's a transcript from 60 minutes where you can read Mike Wallace saying he's Jewish, not White:

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

MIKE WALLACE, CBS`s "60 MINUTES": Black History Month, you find...

MORGAN FREEMAN, ACTOR: Ridiculous.

WALLACE: Why?

FREEMAN: You`re going to relegate my history to a month?

WALLACE: Come on.

FREEMAN: What do you do with yours? Which month is White History Month? Come on, tell me.

WALLACE: I`m Jewish.

FREEMAN: OK. Which month is Jewish History Month?

WALLACE: There isn`t one.

FREEMAN: Why not? Do you want one?

WALLACE: No, no.

FREEMAN: I don`t either. I don`t want a Black History Month. Black history is American history.

WALLACE: How are we going to get rid of racism until...?

FREEMAN: Stop talking about it. I`m going to stop calling you a white man. And I`m going to ask you to stop calling me a black man.
 I know you as Mike Wallace. You know me as Morgan Freeman. You`re not going to say, "I know this white guy named Mike Wallace." Hear what I`m saying? 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRnTovm26I4





So, when Albert Einstein Called Racism "A Disease of White People"...he was talking about White people, not himself cause he knows that
he is not White, he is Jewish, of the Jewish race..not of the White or Black race.


I hope that helps.

And that's just Political Correctness bullshit, aimed at obfuscating
the hypocrisy of accepting Afro-American racism.

There is no such thing as a Jewish race.

More Political Correctness bulldhit. The Jews are a religious group.

Fuck the US Supreme Court.
PC bullshit is PC bullshit no matter *who* says it.

There's just one thong you need to know in this matter: if it's
correctly described as "Politically Correct", then it's INcorrect.

Dear people who think only White people are racist,

There's a black history month. If there was a White history month, that 
would be considered racist. There are Facebook pages titled, "I love being 
black!" if there was an "I love being White!" one, that would be racist. 
There are scholarships for college you can receive simply by being black. I 
don't see any scholarships for being White. It's not okay for a White person 
to call a black person the N word, but it's perfectly acceptable to call a 
White person a "cracker."

Sincerely, you're NOT entitled to everything because you're black...

African people are not black, but more like dark brown.

The colour is caused by the skin pigment 'Melanin'. This is what makes 
skin  and eyes brown . The hair is getting its colour from Melanin, too.

The amount of melanin is different among 'races', if you regard the skin 
colour as criterium for 'race'.

The term 'race' is in fact a misnomer, since it was derived from 
horse-breading and similar activities.

Human beings are often clustered among large groups, that share some 
sort of similarities.

But African people are extremely pluriform in a lot of features (besides 
the amount of melanin), which would not allow to call them 'a race'.

'White people' are - of course - not white neither. Their skin is also 
brown, but with much less melanin.

From a cladistic point of view, indeed, the only race sub-Saharan Africans, and their proximate descendants who live elsewhere, called "black" for short, is the human race.

But European "whites", on the other hand have their pink to light brown skin as 
a shared derived characteristic - they're descended from a single tribe of 
Africans who left that continent long ago. Of course, though, East Indians, 
even though their skin is dark, also belong to that same race.

Orientals - that is, East Asians; the Chinese, the Japanese, the Koreans, and 
other kindred people, are also a subgroup distinguished by shared derived 
characteristics.

The evidence, though, proves that even if there are real entities that can 
loosely be called races among Man, they are all fundamentally equal in their 
genetic endowments for intelligence and for basic traits of temperament that 
are conducive to moral and civilized behavior.

Whites aren't more evolved than Africans, or anything else like that. People 
who have lived among the Australian Aborigines have come back remarking on 
their feats of intelligence and memory in coping with their environment - and 
if there _were_ an inferior race around, they would be it, sharing the smallest 
average brain size with the Pygmies, but also having normal stature.

Unfortunately, though, racism and racial stereotypes have some basis in 
reality, otherwise they wouldn't be so persistent and troubling.

Thus, for cultural reasons, the Chinese and the Jews both view studying hard in 
school as an affirmation of their own identity, rather than knuckling under to 
"the Man" - and, as a result, have done well in spite of discrimination.

And, while no one race or culture has a monopoly on persecuting outsiders, 
abolishing institutionalized inequality, and progressing to being able to see 
things through the other person's eyes seems to be particularly hard in the 
Islamic world. Which is why it is still outraged at the existence of Israel, 
and why a culture of entitlement festers there which has fed terrorism.

And, yes, the Islamic world _does_ mirror some of the flaws of us European-
descended people of the industrialized world. But at the moment, we are rather 
well-fed lions, rather than feeling deprived of our rightful position at the 
top of the heap, and so we're not *currently* producing a lot of terrorists. 
Also, discovering the Holocaust at the end of World War II has had a certain 
impact on our culture, leading to it questioning, and actually doing something 
about, racial inequality... something almost unique in history.

Also, there are some genetic differences between human subgroups which are 
going to have tragic consequences, making it harder than we might hope to 
achieve full equality, including economic equality - which is necessary to a 
tranquil multiracial society.

Europeans and other groups have had to cope with unsatisfactory water supplies, 
so since the days of Egypt and Babylon, they had turned to fairly weak beer or 
wine, rather than water, as their normal drink. Indigenous people, who had 
pristine streams to drink from, didn't develop the unusual ability to 
metabolize alcohol that the urbanized groups have - and so we have Fetal 
Alcohol Syndrome, and the social ills that result from a drug as potent as 
heroin to an impoverished subgroup being legal.

And cultures that lived simple lives in harmony with nature, and who lacked a 
written language... had no reason to select against *learning disabilities* 
like ADHD and dyslexia.

So one _may_ find that trying to take Native Americans up the Booker T. 
Washington path to full equality is doomed to failure. For now, providing them 
with opportunities to become carpenters or steelworkers is providing enough 
equality that it usefully addresses social ills, but as the economy becomes 
more and more post-industrial, in the future book-learning might become the 
only path to a reasonable steady income.

And people who are equal in intelligence might still be denied access to the 
academic world because of learning disabilities, and those, unlike 
intelligence, may be differentially distributed by ethnic ancestry. Which 
doesn't mean the bigots are right, but it does mean that those who seek 
equality may have to set aside sanguine optimism, as they may have more work 
ahead of them than they expect.

DUH!

"Colour" has little to do with it.  It's what Dr. Martin Luther King called
"content of character," black behavior that these days would make the
reverend spin in his grave: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/N3UkulB6DcY/hqdefault.jpg

I wonder if gorilla noses, brillo hair, moose lips, and bubble booties will
also evolve into something worthwhile.

Anyone who has seen an albino African knows how trivial a racial difference
skin color really is: http://www.sharenator.com/Albino_africans/

What causes the 'racial' tension if you will, are simply.. natural forces of nature.


If you put your foot on ice..you're going to slip and slide and fall.

The preasure of the foot on the ice causes the ice to melt and it gets slippery.


Put a mark fuhrman in a jail cell with a black guy, and attach wires to their brains and
measure the...tension between them, and view it on a computer screen...what would you see?


Of course you got to hurry and record the electrods cause one of them is going to die....

if you rub two sticks together, you get fire.


Some people get rubbed the wrong way...

In other words, don't shoot Black people just because they are Black..


you're likely to start a fire.



The solution...don't step on the ice.
