Richard Dawkins tells a Black Guy he's an "African Ape"!

[FLASH]http://www.youtube.com/v/x4YLhKtdSvg&hl=en_US&fs=1&[/FLASH]

:)
 
He put his foot in his mouth, but I don't think he was being intentionally racist. Just trying to make the point that humans are primates.
 
This post and the youtube vid are disingenuous. What Dawkins said is consistent with what he's always said. He said first that HE is an African ape.

That's cuz humans are primates that evolved from other Primates who migrated out of Africa. ALL of us, if you believe the very sound theory that it is. And I for one, DO.


I am an ape.

And you all are too.

In the same vein of non blacks screaming "******" and their excuse is that the rapper says it in a song? :rolleyes:

Stop trolling.


Dawkins said ALL humans are a form of African apes (including himself).

You are either a troll or a nitwit.:smh:
 
Or just a bitch ass dude with an annoying stupid looking white bitch in his sig.:yes:
If ay of you read any of my posts in all the atheist threads know, full well, that I'm an evolutionist. I posted this thread to show you how stupid people on this board can be. Notice how many people in this thread got all upset and started claiming dawkins put his foot in his mouth when he clearly state first that he was an African chimp! And, still, some of y'all didn't get it.

Grown men have no business reacting based on emotion/passion.
 


C/S so true I hate when the racially insecure come around here and
think their not obvious.

I say racially insecure because some are CACS, COONS and all races
in between.

OP Post Title said:
Richard Dawkins tells a Black Guy he's an "African Ape"!

Could have easily been:

OP Post Title said:
Richard Dawkins tells a dude he's an "African Ape"!

or

OP Post Title said:
Richard Dawkins tells a brotha he's an "African Ape"!

or

OP Post Title said:
Richard Dawkins talks with an African minister

...this post would have still been bullshit but at least not so obvious!:hmm:


:rolleyes::confused::smh::smh::smh::hmm:
 
The OP is just fucking with the humanoids, trying to stir the pot. Richard Dawkins always comes hard at the sky fairy worshipers. They can't take the fact that they are primates and one day will cease to exist.

He still put his foot in his mouth. Knowing the long-time racist association of black people with monkeys, along with the racist beliefs of some evolutionists and the attempts by creationists to link evolution with Nazism, he certainly could have phrased and presented his words better.

Racism doesn't trump the scientific truth and validity of evolution. You'll just have to accept the fact that we're all African apes.

Racism holds more sway in the real world than the theory of evolution. It has never been verified as being complete "scientific truth". And many evolutionists, including Darwin himself, are also racists. Remember the flap over Watson's (co-discover of DNA) comments a couple of years back?

Religion is fantasy and it holds more sway than logic with humans and is a pathetic trait that needs to die out.

Most the people that believe in religion are also racist.

:confused:

That's like saying "most people are racist" because most people obviously believe in religion so any trait that would apply to most people could be said to apply to "most of the people who believe in religion."

Are you suggesting a link between religion and racism?

This is a good point... I totally embrace science over religious myth but that does not mean we should not be skeptical of scientists and the biases which they hold that are not related to science.

You are not understanding what Dawkins said in this clip. He in no way associated black people with monkeys. He said that he, himself, was an African ape-- basically saying that all people are African apes, a statement which has the effect of reducing the sort of racist stigma you are discussing.

The OP did a shitty job of presenting the clip, as I said last night-- From the title, you would think he just snapped at some black guy and called him an African ape. Far from that, he called himself an African ape, which is unifying if anything.
 
Stop trolling.

Exactly. The only one to be mad at is the poster of that video, who makes that bullshit comment at the end. He's trying to be a smart ass. :angry:

he has a new book out, targeting/debunking creationists and intelligent design proponents. an excellent read.

I was responding to somebody that said that most evolutionists were racists. This country is a religious country and is very racist.


 
This shit is TAKEN out of CONTEXT because most RELIGIOUS people dont know what the SCIENTIFIC TERM "APE" means.

DAWKINS said HE WAS AN AFRICAN APE.
DAWKINS said ALL HUMANS are AFRICAN APES.

In Science, the GREAT APE family includes MONKEYS,CHIMPS, GORILLAS and HUMANS!

I fully understand what Dawkins was saying, but do you not see how his statement could be taken the wrong way? If a white man was talking to you and said "I love fried chicken. Buffalo Wild Wings is my favorite restaurant. Hell, KFC is the most popular American fast-food restaurant in China. And you love fried chicken, too." Technically, he wouldn't be wrong, but how would you take that?

My point is that it's all in the presentation. Dawkins could have just as easily said, "All human beings are primates who originate in African. I'm a primate, you're a primates, we're all African primates."

Instead, he chose to be deliberately provocative.

That's why I made the thread the way I did. I knew some reaching, sensitive, emotional type like you would respond the way you did :smh:

You still don't get it, and by my guess, you still won't.

And your analogy is false. Liking fried chicken is a matter of taste. You either like it or you don't. The fact that we're African apes effects us all objectively. It's true for all of us.

You are wrong, we can't be apes. The only animals that can talk are snakes. Says so right in the bible. You have been poisoned by the white man and his evil science. :angry:
