Why do some people insist that African American people are less intelligent because of their skin color?

African Americans have an impossible history to deal with. In the beginning, in order to enslave other humans, the more powerful white landowners had to convince themselves that they were a superior race and for that reason they had the right to make the less developed, less powerful people work for them. An interesting factor in this process is that they made it against the law to educate slaves! They knew that education led to power. Slaves could not form normal family units- their children were sold and any white man could rape a slave without any recourse. The slavers held fast to this notion of their superiority so desperately that it soon became "fact" in their minds. It became an organic part of the mindset of many people who believe they are superior to this day.

What is the difference between a creationist and an Intelligent Design proponent?
Intelligent Design proponents are creationists, but not all creationists are Intelligent Design proponents. Proponents of Intelligent Design insist that it is not Creationism because it is not a specifically religious hypothesis. They hoped to convince the United States Supreme Court that their hypothesis is not based on religious beliefs and should be treated in law in the same way as is science. However, evidence presented to the Supreme Court showed that Intelligent Design is Creationism under another name, and that its proponents had always intended it to be so.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
