Albert Einstein Said Racism Is “A Disease Of White People”

Duh. You don't have to be a genius to have figured that out.
.... You're exactly on point there dawg!!!
It's been posted already but to reiterate in depth:
In this dramatic, surprise-filled story, unfolding against a backdrop of an era when America was sweat-drenched in fear and paranoia over national security, readers will discover a new dimension to Albert Einstein. The avalanche of Einstein images – genius, brilliant, absent-minded, kindly, bumbling and more – has all but buried Einstein's political dimension, and totally covered up his civil-rights activities which have remained virtually unknown to his tens of millions of fans and followers.
But in an age of increasing tribalization around the world, the fact that Einstein and Paul Robeson, two of the 20th Century's most famous and popular figures, were not only friends but co-chaired the American Crusade to End Lynching and shared a dozen other anti-racist activities, could serve as a role model for millions. Yet the story has remained untold – until now – as has Einstein's support for W. E. B. Du Bois, his friendship with Marian Anderson and his many ties with the African American people living in Princeton's own little ghetto, in and around Witherspoon Street.
Here, the authors interweave Einstein’s civil-rights letters, speeches and articles, brought together in this volume for the first time, with candid interviews with African American Princetonians who remember Einstein, and historical developments, many of which rocked the nation.
As the authors say in their preface, if racism in America depends for its survival at least partly on the smothering of anti-racist voices, then this book is intended to be part of a grand unsmothering.
People have little to no idea what Albert Einstein did to help the black cause in America. Most seem to be stuck in their faceted way of thinking...
My case in point.

Why you worrying what white people think?
My case in point.

Japan, like most homogeneous societies has a difficult time repopulating their country. If it were not for the Japaneses long life expectancy, almost 82 years, they would be endangered of going extinct.

Their thoughts can manifest into actions and history proves this. I feel you on not sweating them but being oblivious is not a good look.
Exactly, and this is what Obama was talking about when he said that people "cling to guns and religion". People when they are allowed to be isolated be it in a racist farm town or a inner-city ghetto become stagnant mentally and it's bad for society as a whole. Diversity breeds new ideas and new ideas breed answers to problems.
I missed it the first time. This was a good drop. I am coppin that book in '09.
everything i read about japan's birth rate has more to do with increased women's rights. women, faced with traditional ascetic japanese values or the possibility of living a young "sex and the city" type life - obviously choose the latter. so they marry later and thus have less kids.
the other unspoken thing about japan's culture is that the high content of soy in their foods reduces fertility - because it kills a man's sperm count. soy has phytoestrogens that raise estrogen in their blood. this can account for their anatomical insufficiencies as well - which is another problem japanese women have with japanese men.
interested in your conjecture though because that's an interesting spin on it.
sorry to go offtopic on this because it's an interesting one. a picture is worth a thousand words - i'd love to see pics of robeson and einstein together in the hood.
Ask a Korean, a Chinese, a Burmese, a Vietnamese, a Thai, a Malay, a Philippino, an Indonesian, a Papuan, a Solomon Islander, someone from Bougainville (who could walk around Detroit and be mistaken for an American) if the atomic bomb should have been used on Japan in 1945. They'd say "hell yeah!".
Seriously, I have great respect for the ancient culture of Japan. They have their problems with race and ethnicity, including their treatment of the aboriginal Ainu. (yes, you heard that right, there were people there before "the Japanese".)
He was a true thinker and thanks to the Nazi making him fear for his life, he was able to be receptive to how African Americans were treated at Princeton.
It's pretty obvious why they hid his speech... can't have the middle and low class whites realize they too are just tools.
If Racism is to be looked at like a disease, it is a disease that aided them in taking over the world, so for them the end justified the means.
A disease can't be all that bad when it aids you and your people but negatively affects everyone else.

True. Racism is less than 700 years old according to some social scientists. The concept of race didn't exist until Europeans began exploring other lands during the so called European renaissance.
Conflicts were basically over clans and tribalism.
