Don't you know that evolution is basically a racist concept? Some evolutionists still teach that white people evolved from "negros" who evolved from apes -- meaning "white people are more evolved!"

No, that's not what evolution says and nobody teaches that.
We did not evolve from modern Africans any more then we evolved from modern apes, all humans came from a common ancestor, the common ancestor was probably black as they lived in Africa where being black would be a helpful advantage, but modern Africans and modern Europeans, Asians whatever have all done the same amount of evolving since then. There is no such thing as being "more evolved" or "less evolved".
That's right!
While white people were evolving, we kept the Africans in cryostorage, to ensure they were less fit to the environment when we took them out later!
*bitchslap*
THERE'S NO SUCH FUCKING THING AS MORE EVOLVED STUPID
Who?
Who are these "some evolutionists" that you clowns keep babbling about? Name 'em. Show me one, just one, who's a legitimate evolutionary theorist or science teacher.
You can't, and you know you can't. STFU.
How much does this fail?
Let me count the ways...
Black people also evolved from black people. There has been no change in overall species, therefore it is not racist to truthfully state that white folks had black ancestry. White people are not more evolved, they are adapted to colder climates.
Saying they became black because of Ham.... that's racist.
Nothing is "more evolved". Black humans have been evolving for the same amount of time as white humans, asian humans, and all plants and animals. A white person is better evolved for Scandinavia with no shelter, just like a black person is better evolved for Africa with no shelter. Now that we have houses, whites and blacks are equally well-suited to the environment.
Question: If humans are "more evolved" than extremophilic bacteria, does that mean we're better suited to living in acid pools or boiling water?
Uhh, you have your wires crossed yet again. Evolution doesn't claim that 'blacks evolved from apes'. It says that humans and apes have a common ancestor.
What you are calling 'white people' didn't evolve from black people. Skin color is just an adaptation to environment.
But don't let facts fuck up your insane rant, as it's most amusing.
Some evolutionists still teach that white people evolved from "negros"
Other apes (e.g., chimps) have white skin. It's possible that dark skin on humans evolved as a substitute for lost hair, and that later, white skin on humans evolved in areas of less sunlight. As far as I know, we don't actually know. But according to the Theory of Evolution, there's no such thing as "more evolved". Not only are white people not "more evolved" than black people, they're no more "evolved" than slime molds and bacteria.
How to make a pro-creationist comic.
First, you need our "hero." A Christian, of course, but s/he needs to be a paragon of virtue; being a kid helps.
Next, you need your "victim." S/he obviously is an "evolutionist." This person is: A complete douche, or B. A good person who is just misguided.
Now, they meet, and the evolutionist must be skeptical at first, while the creationist is questioning their beliefs.
The evolutionist then asks the creationist about his/her beliefs; in the real world, this is to allow the argument to be let out and chain-sawed to death, but never in a creationist comic.
You must then make the creationist say their argument, and this is : A. Biblical quotes, B. a statement about how life is too complicated without a god, C. some statement saying we're monkeys or D. a combination of the above.
Now the evolutionist is stopped in his/her tracks; one can probably make him struggling for his arguments life, which then is stomped to death by a bible quote.
Now, the evolutionist is destroyed. S/He accepts Jesus as his/her savior, to the anger of people around him, who are without morals since they're evolutionists, and not christian.
If anything, Evolution teaches that racism is retarded because all modern humans are essentially exactly the same. The genetic difference between me and literally any other person on the planet is less than a tenth of a percent. Of that, less than a hundredth results from your ancestry (AKA your race).
To put that more clearly for the retards out there: The genetic difference between whites and blacks is less than 0.001%.
Human DNA consists of just shy of 3,000,000,000 base pairs. Digitized, that's about 715MB. That's roughly 200,000 pages of text using 2500 animated smilies. The difference between two races would be if one of those smilies was laughing instead of giving the thumbs up sign. Yeah. Not a big fucking deal.
That said, though, the Bible doesn't really advocate racism either. It's just idiots being idiots, cherry picking bullshit from horse shit.
No, it means that white people evolved in a different direction to black people, allowing them to adapt to colder climates where high melanin content in the skin would be a disadvantage.
While it might be true that there is less genetic difference to the common ancestor and those with dark skin (not necessarily true, but could be), that just means that the common ancestor was already well adapted to living in areas such as Africa.
Nothing is 'more evolved' than anything else, the concept is wrong. Anything that exists now is the (so far) end product of the same amount of evolution, dating from the first bit of prehistoric glop. When my ancestors acquired the ability to survive in the temperate conditions of more northern latitudes they lost the ability to live in Africa, so there's no advancement or progress, just adaptation. When our distant ancestors adapted to a terrestrial existence they relinquished the ability to live in the water. Evolution is not about advancement, it's about trade-offs.
But I wouldn't expect a fundie fuckwad to even read what I wrote, let alone understand it.
Hmph, even if humankind came from Africa, I've heard something about Mongols coming BACK to Africa and then "evolved" into blacks.
... and then we have the Klansmen refusing to belive Whites are descended from blacks, so they claim Whites "evolved" from the Chinese. I'm sure it makes sense in some way...
I love the underlying understanding that the word "evolve" means, "to become better than, in some arbitrary, unspecified way," or, "to become smarter than." Now that i think about it, the only thing i have surpassed apes in is that i'm a better problem solver, and that it's a lot less socially acceptable to poach me and make ash trays out of my hands. If it came down to "Who can pull whose limbs out of their sockets most efficiently," a chimpanzee is a lot more "evolved" than me
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
