Once the theory of natural rights came about, the idea that all men had certain unalienable rights, slavery was no longer an option. Unless some men were not really men; thus racism. The enlightenment is still at work. Yes, racism grew out of the enlightenment. Before the enlightenment no reason was needed to enslave your fellow man.
As Thomas Sowell has pointed out it is Western society that eventually ended slavery in practically every area that was colonized. Legal slavery still exists today, not in the West.
He is getting up there in age. He isn't even gone yet and I am already in mourning.
If SNOPES SAYS ITS TRUE.... It must be false!

Einstein at Lincoln
Rumor: Albert Einstein once said that segregation was a 'disease of white people.'
At Lincoln, Einstein gave a speech in which he called racism "a disease of white people," and added, "I do not intend to be quiet about it."
no need for malintent or abuse to be racist. you just have to see your race as superior to others.
There is scientific evidence that some races are smarter than others,some are more athletic than others etc etc etc..how the hell is that racism? Cultural Marxist America where facts are racist!

show me the scientific evidence? All science is not created equal. Until know enough to cure cancer......then they have no credibility in my book....claiming one race is superior to another.

See above. The Rwandan genocide was heavily influenced by white supremacist ideology and colonization of the Hutu and Tutsi tribes.

There was no isuues between the tribes until Europeans inserted racism into that area. So in that respect, Einstein is correct in that segregation (which Belgium created in Rwanda) is a "white disease." Unfortunately, this disease and the ideology of white supremacy has spread in many countries across the globe.
I just love how we can so freely talk about "white disease" . It just encourages me to take the gloves off. Proof positive blacks are now the main source of racial tensions among all races. The rampant racism and bigotry among blacks has gone unchallenged and unchecked. That is why its resulting in an explosion of black violence , not just on whites , but Hispanics Asians, Indians etc. This mut stop for even the sake of blacks.
How convenient to have nothing but oral traditions until, gasp 1829s you can try to make up fairytales.
Of course the Arabs also recorded your history for you to the extent that they could. They could more often because they were conquering and enslaving Africans for quite some time.
there would be bias yes-- but not racism I think racism is = bias with mal-intent or abuse
Lol. Yeah, only whites are racists.
I sense some white guilt with a touch of self loathing.
