Buried in today’s abhorrent executive order that purports to “restore truth and sanity to American history” is perhaps one of the most frightening and repulsive positions that the Trump admin has asserted thus far: that race is not a social construct, but a “biological reality.”
The exhibit further claims that “sculpture has been a powerful tool in promoting scientific racism” and promotes the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct, stating “Race is a human invention.”
This may seem innocuous at first blush, but scientific racism is the foundational belief underlying eugenics, slavery, apartheid, and genocide. It was the center of Nazi ideology and formed the basis of its entire social policy, including the Holocaust. It was used to uphold slavery and later segregation in the U.S.
Now, decades after it was wholly discredited by the scientific community, the most fascistic government in the country’s history has decided to bring it back. No prizes for those who correctly guess why.
This is profoundly dangerous and everyone needs to start talking about it now, before it’s too late.

Yeah let’s talk about this now… Reddit is full of do-nothing obese losers that only complain and finger waggle at people for being “naughty”. You need to be more aggressive than simply talk about this, or nothing will change, you stupid fucks.
If you think that Lemmy users are any better I’ve got bad news for you.
It’s falling under more fascist control every day. Of course the goal is to silence the people that actually want real fuckin results. I’ve been super sus that the furor has seemed to die down in the last week as surely it has not in reality. I found a well disguised troll spouting anti American bullshit in one of the US govt subs, pointed it out to mods without making a fuss, and the mods replied “their comments are popular here.” SMFH
Majority of the aggressors are the conservatives… Sad
