what happened to the eugenics movement?

Question

did it die out? or has it gone underground?

Befeicial for who? My understanding is that they were seeking to preserve the white race only. probably at the expense of the others.

Answer 1

Sweetie, nothing happened to it (if what you're trying to say is that it's non-existent). The eugenics movement takes many forms. I'll use one example to illustrate:

What (or rather WHO) do you think started the anti-smoking movement? WHITE PEOPLE. The anti-smoking movement began in much the same way as did anti-alcohol and anti-other drugs. The prohibition of alcohol and marijuana was race and class based. They (alcohol and marijuana) were associated with those thought to be inferior. So, for the preservation of those thought to be superior, both were illegalized. The thought was "superior peoples" would be free from harmful substances while the so-called inferior ("coloreds" and low class whites) would continue in their "subhuman" behavior within the privacy of their communities (thereby helping the "superior whites" by erradicating themselves). The anti-smoking movement is rooted in Nazi Germany. (So it embraces the same concept.) Hitler (who was actually a smoker at one time) has been quoted as saying that tobacco is, "the wrath of the red man against the white man..." The Nazis, being anti-smoking and anti-alcohol (among other things), promoted racial hygiene and purity. Hitler is the father of the anti-smoking movement.

I'll end here, as I'm sure you get my point.

"...seeking to preserve the white race only. probably at the expense of the others." ----For the most part, yes. But it's a movement with many "branches", so to speak. The eugenics movement has (and is) class based as well.

Answer 2

It's largely died out as a result of:
a) abuses involving forced sterilizations of people.
b) becoming associated with Nazis.

You can marry for whatever reason you like, as long as you find a like-minded potential spouse. Good luck.

Answer 3

it's only the remnants of the KKK that think of it once in a while. For the most part, it's dead.
