>>>racism is bolstered by the logical conclusions of the theory of evolution. Thanks, Darwin.<<<

Sorry Drew, those would be ilIogical conclusions.

The premise that all Darwinian change is improvement is wrong, Darwinian change merely covers changes to suit the prevailing conditions*. Evolved skin tones lighten with distance from the equator due to the relative intensity of sunlight, it is a balanced response to the human bodies need to 'produce vitamin-D in' and 'avoid UV damage to' the live tissue directly under skin.

I agree with the rest of your post.

* Dodo bird : Original pigeon like population flew to the island and then due to the total lack of predators evolved to be large, flightless and completely incapable of any self defence.
