It's hard for me not to see him as Trump's VP if he were alive today. He'd obviously have to be less of an agricultural supremacist to get anywhere today, so I'm assuming he could stomach a populist city candidate. And keep in mind that his views on race relative to his era were akin to Trump's views relative to the modern era.
Really? Wasn't one of WJB's big reasons for opposing evolution that it could lead to racial bigotry (along with a socially Darwinian economic philosophy)?
Racial bigotry, not necessarily, but definitely anti-Social Darwinism.
Maybe, but I still thought he was more on the liberal side of the race debate for his day.
I find it QUITE strange to refer to being racially tolerant as a strictly liberal view anyway but especially at a time when many progressives were championing eugenics.
You might say that it's a view someone might take if they believe in Progress.
