@RealJournalism Isn't it funny how these narcissistic idiots scream evolution isn't real UNLESS they can take a completely ignorant and childish misread of it to defend their pathetic bigotry.

Then again, I get why they don't understand evolution. It's clearly passed them by.

To be fair, evolution is taught badly if at all in the USA. Apes evolving into humans is only the most dramatic of end points (that Darwin only dared to hint at in his first book) that are all around us—oranges and lemons, apples and pears, cats and tigers and hyenas and wolves and dogs. Properly understood, its truth is inescapable.

@hugh @RealJournalism Yes, but it's no excuse. Take for example racists like to point to US crime stats and say 'blacks do crimes' It of course ignores income disparity but beyond that, 'black' in the US is 1/32nd of your ancestry was 'black', a large portion of the 'blacks' in the US are genetically more than half white and those crime numbers actually demonstrate racism itself and how we judge people by skin tone.
