Why did Einstein call racism "a disease of white people"?

Einstein liked to quote Newton who disclaimed that "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants" (who appropriately was paraphrasing an earlier scholar). Science is a collaborative process, it's why we restrict ourselves to the empirical. So our observations and the knowledge built on them can be shared, grown, refined and stewarded by future generations.

Great insights and powerful models that serve as milestones in the evolving body of scientific knowledge can rarely be attributed to a single person. They are most often the result of generations of work.

Einstein's greatest contribution to the Western World may have been his letter to Roosevelt.

The Einstein Letter

On October 11, 1939, Alexander Sachs, Wall Street economist and longtime friend and unofficial advisor to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, met with the President to discuss a letter written by Albert Einstein the previous August. Einstein had written to inform Roosevelt that recent research on chain reactions utilizing uranium made it probable that large amounts of power could be produced by a chain reaction and that, by harnessing this power, the construction of "extremely powerful bombs..." was conceivable. Einstein believed the German government was actively supporting research in this area and urged the United States government to do likewise. Sachs read from a cover letter he had prepared and briefed Roosevelt on the main points contained in Einstein's letter. Initially the President was noncommittal and expressed concern over locating the necessary funds, but at a second meeting over breakfast the next morning Roosevelt became convinced of the value of exploring atomic energy.

 

Look up the first instance of slavery mentioned in the Bible--Genesis 9:25. It's the first instance of slavery mentioned, and it is entirely God's idea, not a human invention. And there are several verses in your own link that back up exactly what I said.

 

OK, so if this is true, why are you having a hard time salvaging Nisbett's work from his critics? And why do you keep citing him in spite of the serious flaws in his conclusions?

 

Why do you keep bumping numerous threads about me referencing Nisbett? Are you mentally ill? If you are that obsessed with the subject wait until I make the thread about Nisbett's work and then we can debate the subject all you want.

 

I've merely asked you on some specific threads where you have repeatedly cited Nisbett and have asked you to defend using him in light of his critics. Since I see that on multiple threads you are questioning the validity of sources others present, I think it's high time you defend your sources as well.

Let us know what you come up with.

 

Because he was a hypocritical Jew? (who plagiarized his ideas)

 

The thing about the Jews they were so traumatized by the Holocaust they are hyper-sensitive regarding anything that might seem of a racist nature.....thus they have misread the American People and particularly the Trump movement. The Jews are very intelligent but simply let their sensitivity overule a good analysis of the Trump Juggernaut...even the Israelis support Hillary....a huge mistake.

Trump is pro-Israel...somehow they fail to understand that.....clinging to their old liberal socialist ways.....a hillary presidency like the obama presidency will be a disaster for them....only worse.

 

I'm not so sure. They mostly achieve things by lying (eg. Einstein)

 

In Einsteins defense he lived in a time where racism was a rampant issue among white people. At the time there was still forced segregation and Jim Crow, and the man just witnessed the Holocaust and a many other things going on at the time.

Different era. If he were alive today I am sure he would recognize that racism is more than just a white problem, that it is a problem within all groups.

 

There is also the possibility he might realize that waycism is only a problem for those who perceive it as a problem and that Hitler's treatment of the Jews was not based on waycism....but a religious problem aka catholic priests demonizing Judaism for centuries accusing them of being Christ Killers etc.etc.

Roman Catholic Shame:


The R.C. Church had a very centralized structure and a very powerful presence not just in Germany, but in every country in the world, enabling it to know much better than just about any organization in the world, what was going on throughout Europe and giving it more power than any other moral institution in the world to hinder, if not totally stop, the mass-murder of millions of innocent human beings, including Roman Catholics.
The R.C. Church had a very powerful political party at its command in Germany. Hitler wasn't able to get the dictatorial powers he was seeking in 1933 until he persuaded the future Pope Pius XII to use his influence to disband that party and get many of its members to support the Nazi Party..
The R. C. Church wasn't just a bystander of the Nazi hatred of the Jews. This church had dominated most of western Europe during the 17 centuries since the conversion of Constantine, and during most of that time the church had promoted contempt for the Jews, as we demonstrate in CatholicArrogance.Org/Catholic/RC_scandal-1.html.
Although Catholics have been trying to put distance between their church and Hitler since his demise, the fact is that many of those whom Hitler put in charge in the Third Reich were like himself Roman Catholics. Adolf Hitler was brought up as a very devout Catholic, and even though he outgrew that church in many respects, he retained many of its beliefs, and found it to his political advantage to maintain to the bitter end his reputation as a Catholic "in good standing". See a great deal of documentation on this important issue at CatholicArrogance.Org/Hitlersfaith.html.
Almost all of the leaders of the other European nations that made up the NAZI "Axis" powers were Roman Catholics, and two were actually priests! See more detail on this important issue at http://CatholicArrogance.Org/NaziLeadership.html .
The R. C. Church is both the largest and one of the most arrogant of all the religious bodies of the world, claiming to be the "one, true church", "outside of which there is no salvation", the only one claiming to have Christ's personal "vicar" as its head. If it is going to make such extravagant claims, shouldn't it be a model of extraordinary holiness, rather than an example of shameful compliance with evil incarnate?
The R. C. Church is constantly lecturing to others, as though it is entitled by its supposedly superior grasp of and devotion to morality to tell women, for example, that they have no right to use "artificial means" to avoid pregnancies, no right to terminate pregnancies once begun, or to tell people who don't have any desire to spend their lives in a permanent relationship with a person of the opposite gender, that it is immoral for them to want to spend their lives in a permanent relationship with a person of the same gender. Is this church's claim to moral superiority justified?

Because he was an anti-white racist... And lacked experience with blacks.

 

It's interesting you say that. Data show racism is directly proportional to level of diversity.

The most racist States in the US have the highest black population.

 

The biggest white egalitarians I've met are suburbanites. I was one myself. If you look at Einstein's statements, you can see the ideological boundaries he put around the issue and only seemed to allow the "it's the white guy's fault" explanation as a legitimate causative factor.

 

he said it because he was intelligent and could see through the racist culture of the white that he studied. white studies has become an increasingly popular discipline now with the dawn of the age of information. the writers of history are no longer white and this will begin a shift in understanding.

 

Great grammar.

You assume his view is related to his intellect rather than that it reflects any kind of ethnic biases on his own. That's hilarious and is a very poor qualifier.

"White studies" is neo-Marxist Critical Theory bull(*)(*)(*)(*). It is one of many social disciplines that arises from the Marxist fallacy that all inequality is necessarily caused by group oppression plots. It's academic racism of the worst type seen since people tried to academically legitimize the institution of slavery.

 

Actually it just the study of whites from a position of authority. We get you don't like being the subject of interror-gation

 

Screw Einstein. But nobody can always be right. Though if he were alive, I would have a question for him. "Is flying a disease of birds?"

 

No, you just cannot generalize a complete group as Racists, it is another form of Bigotry, not all whites are Bigots.

A study is only as good as its researchers and authors, if those people have an agenda of bigotry and race hate, then their results will reflect that agenda.

 

what has that got to do with white studies?

 

Because he was a Jew and a cultural Marxist.

 

Read, it is not so difficult

And you are what now ??

 

Ok iread and yep. Its got nothing to do with the subject of White Studies.

 

you what??

 

Read. ����
