The root of the Theory of evolution is the discovery of fossils that do not match up with current species, and in the similarities between different species of plants and animals.
Racism existed long before Darwin.

You could say that racism came from the theory of evolution and you could argue it, but you wouldn't win. Evolution, in theory, is a process that happens to you without your consent, knowledge or control. Racism is a product of men (in the loosest sense of the word) in an attempt to filter out what they believe to be the weakest link (ie Nazis). The end result is seemingly the same but evolution does not have any prejudice or motivation, its is only random mutations of organisms. Even the word evolution caries a meaning of bettering something but creatures dont always evolve for the better. Evolution is not a response to anything, while racism is. You can point out the similarities all day but I can point of just as many differences.

No.
Next question is right!
The search for truth was the root of the theory of Evolution. Not wanting to believe in outdated fairy-tales that cannot be proven is the reason evolution is so popular today.

...The theory of evolution is the survival of the fittest... Now you tell me where love comes in?
would you give your life for someone you love? would that put a kink in the evolution theory? If we go by the theory, then we should let our love one die.
not the case.....we were created in Gods image(qualities) and one being love.
Racism is a product of the devil, the first man-slayer.

Not at all! Evolution is a physical thing....racism is a frame of mind.

Uh, yeah. I guess so. Racism within a species, imposed by the environment and food availability. Good thought (give up).

How by saying that we are all related?
That the first man/woman was from africa.
That pisses off the bible belt people more, in thier minds they worship a brown haired blue eyed jesus. They want adam and eve to be white.

No, but racists have tried to use evolution to support their claims...they've used religion as well.
