age of modernam man since old man letssay 2 million years

if during yester year black people were supposed to be 3/5ths human how did they evolve the extra 2/5ths in only 400 years?
if evoluion were constant lets just say fo the sake of argument then they have evolved 2/5ths in 400 years while it took everyone else 400,000 years to simply evolve 1/5th
so what do you think guys, were black people ever less evolved, i mean, if anything by evolution timing it prooves they are far superior by evolving 2/5ths in only 400 years which took other races 400,000 give or take an extra 100,000.
Why when we look into evo, when we take it apart and scrutinise it beyond the walls of a high school text book we end up with nonsnese coding.evo has been used to justify
slavery,genocide and just about everything else in the absence of morals, why are we doing everything to defend it
and why does ittake hundreds of years after each event slavery/genocide to admit we were scientifically wrong?

I read your question and statements twice, and thought at length about them all, and have just decided not to touch the evolution rap with a ten-foot pole. It is just too ethnic, and suspect in regards science (at least to me)--but I thought I'd write and let you know why I'm passing on it. I don't need the 2 pts, I just want to let you know. Better luck next time, though you may get reams of answers, who am I to say!

Son you are stone cold crazy. The 3/5 compromise gave slaveholders an amount of votes equal to 3/5 of their slave population, meaning they got to wield power in the House of Representatives equal to that of the North while not actually recognizing their slaves' rights as citizens or even humans.

Evolution does not say that any race is more human than the other. Different races have different characteristics due to natural selection.

Evolution has never been used to justify slavery. Half-baked racist theories about master races and God cursing Ham are what justify slavey and genocide. These are shallow political issues, not scientific ones. Conflating evolutionary theory with the US Constitution is patently absurd, especially considering that evolutionary theory wasn't even fully developed at that time (Origin of the Species was published in 1859).

Thankfully, scientists are now discrediting evolution.
Man has always sought for a way to justify what he knew to be untrue, unethical, morally reprehensible. Using evolution is only one of the many justifications used in history.
Because scientific methods often take many years to prove, and/or disprove, it gives man a good length of time to distance himself from being wrong.
Besides which, science and philosophy have nothing to do with one another.
Science relies on cold, hard facts...absolutes...evidence. Philosophy relies on subjective interpretation (in a very short form of explanation)....
A better line of questioning would be how, philosophically, man can still be racially/ethnically/religously biased.

Theory of evolution is challenged by, at least, random theory. Generally theory of evolution states that evolution takes place by mutations of genes, for instance, at random. If they seriously take random theory, it the time that is required for an organism to evolve to a human would be greater than the time earth has been around. In short, you have to be older than your mother.

Outside the realm of biology, so-called social evolution has been 'wrongly' used by humans to justify certain races's superiority over others. One example of it is Nazism.

The biggest mistake occus when the theory of evolution is applied outside the biology; and the mistake is usually devastating. It is not really the science that went wrong, but those who use science who went wrong with it.

you will find most always, when a group has placed another group in slavery or oppressed conditions, the group in control will view the others as "less than" themselves,,, and its simply not true. this enables the group in charge to treat others in a inhumane way.
so blacks were never less "evolved" then anyone else, neither were the native americans, in fact the europeans often lived a less evolved life, in spite of any technology (which wasnt much) they basically lived in and around their own filth!
so ignore the justifications you come across, they are just the result of people trying to make horrible acts seem plausible
only the most sick and cruel people do not need excuses to treat others inhumanly, and even they need to sell it to the general public
its amazing what the brain can convince oneself of, in order to justify the persons actions, and often it is passed from person to person, for instance in america we eat cow, and think its totally allright, yet we wouldnt eat a dog! that is the same logic they used to inslave blacks but yet not whites
