The importance is that a well accepted scientific theory is telling people that if you are anything other than white, your are substandard.
How fucking stupid do you think I am.
Pretty fucking stupid apparently, since Darwinism didn't/doesn't do anything like that.
But hey, while we're having so much fun here, why don't we discuss how creationists used the Bible to justify slavery for hundreds and hundreds of years?
And you didn't read the article either.
I will summarize it for you. Scientists were very much into categorizing via metrics and experimentation the different races. Of course whites were on the top of the heap and blacks were considered "not as evolved" That consensus drove shit science, because the ones that believed it to be true were always interpreting data with that "fact" in mind.
The NCSE (who the article is about), who defends evolution and global warming, is trying to rewrite history. How is this done? By giving credit to the same individuals who thought blacks were less evolved, instead of those who were showing it wasn't true.
Do you see the similarity to the Global Warming crowd? It's settled science and anyone who opposes it is vilified. When we finally get to a point that there really is a true consensus on Global Warming, who do you think is going to get credit for changing that consensus? It certainly isn't going to be the heretics who opposed Global Warming - it will be the establishment that was wrong the whole time. Rewriting history to whitewash their Global Warming of the gaps methodology.
