Death of a Loyalist Soldier -Robert Capa 

‘At that time [World War II], I fervently believed just about everything I was exposed to in school and in the media.  For example, I knew that all Germans were evil and that all Japanese were sneaky and treacherous, while all white Americans were clean-cut, honest,fair-minded, and trusting’ Elliot Aronson in Pratkanis and Aronson, (1992), Age of Propaganda, p. xii

 
‘Whereas representation tries to absorb simulation by interpreting it as false representation, simulation envelops the whole edifice of representation as itself a simulacrum.  These would be the successive phases of the image:

1.It is the reflection of a basic reality. 
2.It masks and perverts a basic reality. 
3.It masks the absence of a basic reality. 
4.It bears no relation to any reality whatever : it is its own pure simulacrum.’ 
Jean Baudrillard, Simulacra and Simulations, 1981, in Poster, M. (ed.) (1988), Jean Baudrillard: Selected Writings, Cambridge, Polity Press, page 173

"How has scientific racism been a major factor in the historical white whitewashing of pre-19th century europe "

 For example, Dylann Roof — the alleged Charleston, S.C., massacre shooter — wrote in his manifesto: “Negroes have lower IQs, lower impulse control, and higher testosterone levels in generals. These three things alone are a recipe for violent behavior.”

-       Born that way? ‘Scientific’ racism iscreeping back into our thinking.

 

 Nicholas Wade, “A Troublesome Inheritance,” posited that recent genetic and genomic research suggests that Africa’s underdevelopment was a result of genetic inferiority of the communities on the continent, eschewing the devastating effects of colonialism.

-       Born that way? ‘Scientific’ racism iscreeping back into our thinking. 

“It is a serious question among them whether the Africans are descended from monkeys or whether the monkeys come from them. Our wise men have said that man was created in the image of God. Now here is a lovely image of the Divine Maker: a flat and black nose with little or hardly any intelligence. A time will doubtless come when these animals will know how to cultivate the land well, beautify their houses and gardens, and know the paths of the stars: one needs time for everything.”^[16]

- Voltaire

Meiners split mankind into two divisions, which he labelled the "beautiful White race" and the "ugly Black race". - Christoph Meiners

 He described a story where a Negro was condemned to death by being burned alive. Halfway through the burning, the Negro asked to smoke a pipe and smoked it like nothing was happening while he continued to be burned alive
