Nazis and white supremist belived people of color were not smart. I don't know if you know this but museums like the Smithsonian have Black, Native Americans and other people of color brains. Called racial brains Mostly brains of Indigenous and Black's without the consent of the family or the person, if they were dying like happened to a Indigenous woman. Most of the remains, were collected in the early 1900s under the direction of anthropologist Ales Hrdlicka, who sought to advance his now-debunked theories that White people were superior to people of color.

You ARE doing important work. This video by Dr Kelly is remarkable. Not all old white men are evil. 😅 I would like to see more.

[@stephenjames2690]

Growing up in the 50s in a multi-cultural NYC, there were epithets for every ethnic group. Calling someone "White" was meaningless. Anyway, keep in mind that as Dr.Kelly is recording this video, civil rights workers are being lynched in the south. Afa color, the reason White ladies in the South wore big hats was to prevent darkening. How to identify Whites with mixed ancestry was a cottage industry when having "one drop" of the wrong blood would destroy someone's (especially a woman's) social status and marital opportunities.

[@ericcherry4184]

Really interesting perspective. I grew up as a white kid in an Air Force family (1960s). We traveled a lot, but lived mostly in the civilian community. My dad was a closet racist and anti-semite ("I have a black friend!"). That said, he was very supportive of Native Americans as it was rumored that we had Blackfoot heritage (never proven by documents or DNA). The things he taught me as a kid kind of rubbed me the wrong way, but I also accepted because he was my dad and my hero. Once in college, I began to challenge his views more openly as my own personal exposure to other cultures grew. Thanks for your comment.

[@davidpritchard604]

My grandmother born in 1888, maintained the whitest pearly skin as did my mother. As a curious child I asked my grandmother why she never exposed her skin to the sun. She said that she did not want to look like a common labourer. Her reasoning was to denote social class and not race.

[@stephenjames2690]

@@davidpritchard604 Absolutely, white skin was a class marker. However, even field workers covered their heads from the sun. My point was specifically about the lengths to which people went to prove the lack of unwanted ancestry. This was particularly true in areas where there was a history of mixing, such as Louisiana. Of course, some people wore hats and gloves just to prevent sunburn.

[@hwgray]

@ParaQue-lc2wv"Because they were aware that they may have had African blood themselves." Not so. There were no such laws because none were needed. A person was either white or, if his/her mother was a slave, he/she was a slave, regardless of his/her phenotype/looks. Then, after the Civil War, there were no more slaves. But there were hundreds of thousands of mixed-race people, many of whom, despite having African ancestry, could pass for white. (FWIW, my personal observation is that a person with as much as 20% sub-Saharan African ancestry is indistinguishable from a person of 100% European ancestry.) But that couldn't be allowed to happen, because it would introduce pollution into the otherwise-pure white race. At that point, in the late nineteenth/early twentieth century, racial-purity/blood-quantum laws and segregation were felt to be necessary to maintain the purity of the white race in the United States.

[@davidpritchard604]

@ParaQue-lc2wv The late 19th and early 20th century was when so many such laws were codified after the Southerners and their Northern sympathizers had neutralized every effect of Reconstruction. Pres. Wilson was quite a proponent of segregation and racial hygiene. This group of laws proved to be quite an inspiration to the growing Nazi movement in Germany be it in dealing with mixed race Germans (Rheinland Bastards) as well as mental and physical defectives (T-4 program). The US was ahead of its time in this area of social engineering (but no one is proud about this achievment today, so much for American exceptionalism).

[@Muonium1]

In what way do you suppose he is "enlightened"? He is using many of the exact same pseudoscientific ideas about evolution to justify his "progressive" views about race simply in an inverted way to that which was common among others of the time. All the stuff about straight hair, absence of body hair, extremity length, etc. being more "evolved" away from apes is complete garbage. Further still, the ending thesis of the film that "there's no relation between race and criminality" is laughably false. It's a happy fantasy lefties like to delude themselves with. The relation is trivially easy to observe, and is borne out in objective statistical form from FBI figures tallied up every year.

[@ahnraemenkhera7451]

So well-stated! Echoing my own thinking, “1958, & there’s been No Progress, globally!” I can only shudder at the pushback, derision, & hostility Dr. Kelly faced-THEN. Followed by the decade of assassinations against almost anyone publicly expanding on his notions as to so-called “race,” which should’ve been exposed as virtually meritless, stupid, & entirely unscientific outside of being “observable” based on phenotype appearance as its sole & invented substance. Evil genius credit has to go, however, to the maintenance department who’ve kept hope alive in bypassing no stone being turned to “demonstrate” superiority because of their largely happenstance incarnation, & in knowing automatically whom to criminalize & pronounce as “guilty,” also based on the identical pseudoscience. At the latest, by the era of color TV, intelligence should’ve prevailed, but never has at any given juncture of “discovery.” Just proves beyond doubt to me that the desperation to believe in something so futile, so asinine & so seriously worthy-of-ridicule I have to LOL at SOME of it, is genuinely ensconced as an emotional pillar which many governments/religions rely on so heavily to justify their own existence, that there’s almost little point in mentioning key differences in “beliefs” & “Truth.” I just tend to do so because I can’t abide untreated Insanity, having experienced it firsthand. I find that it has a contagious effect that few ever apprehend. I hope you & others like yourself can do so, & arrest it before more waves of it eviscerate the planet & the species on & in it, claiming to have “evolved.” 🌲🌱🌵

He's talking about profiling before they had the term. But you can understand why an Army doctor would need to focus on breaking down racial pre-judgments, since the work of putting together a cohesive fighting unit would mean getting rid of hostilities within the group.

Its great that you are putting this all in one place... im American of Mexican heritage... over the last 100 yrs we have been browbeaten into "hispanic"... shamed for being Mexican... America "calls" us white, but only when it's convenient. Many times in my career I heard "u got hired only because your mexican"... or f'n n_ _ _ s and meskans" and this person looked at me and said, "not talkin' bout u" (in my best east texas hillbilly accent)... youre right, race is used to justify people's failures or ambitions... good job...

With the last name Kelly it’s obvious the doctor’s ancestry was Irish so he’d have a first hand knowledge of what it means to be considered second class , his ancestors probably had to leave Ireland because of colonial oppression, ethnic cleansing, slavery and famine caused by the British colonization of Ireland that sparked endless conflicts, rebellions and civil strife. Every Irish person is acutely aware of their own families history and how they survived the barbarism of colonialism and subjugation , racial abuse and bigotry .

To censor thoughts and ideas is to drive them to ground and let them grow roots. Bring ideas into the open and let them face the test of scrutiny, analysis and time. Truth can face critique, lies cannot. How is it they were more free and honest in expression, in 1958, than we are today ?

I really enjoyed this. Dr. Kelly was very impressive. One thing I really hate is the term "person of colour" I am from New Zealand and to my disgust this expression has made a belated appearance on our shores in the last few years.(Sadly American 'culture' pervades every nook and cranny of the world). Whatever the motivation is that users have, all it does is 'other' the 'person' they are referring to in my book and I can't see how its use is justified.I wish people would just stop using it.

i just read a book by Jack El-Hai "The Nazi and the psychologist" yes and this guy, from the Nuremburg trails has a starring role. Its very good and has an audiobook version, too. 1945 was a real eye opener for Americans and their own racism and what it ultimately leads to

[@arrow1414]

Hmm, I don't think his views were mainstream by the late 1950s. Yes many nonscientist believed it, but how many actual paleontologist, anthropologist, biologist and other experts on human evolution held these views by the 1950s? The late 1800s and early 1900s yes, but by the 1950s? I doubt it. I need to know about his scientific background. Being a psychologist and criminologist is not even close to being enough.

[@nytn]

look up his work with the Nazis at the Nuremberg trials!

[@arrow1414]

​ **With** the Nazis or refuting them?

[@arrow1414]

​ I just looked him up. His biography doesn't mention a thing about him being say an anthropologist, just a psychologist evaluating accused Nazi war criminals. In that he was respected, but for that field, not human evolution. His end was tragic though, shortly after he made this film.

[@Theinfamouskiki411]

​@arrow1414 people have these views today! Yes in 1950 there are numerous sociologist and RELIGION taught about how black people were inferior or cursed. Read the book medical apartheid. There are medical notions that black people don't feel pain like white people do. There are European far right groups that still believe in ethno and nationalistic purity in the UK, Germany, Italy just to name a few

[@arrow1414]

@@Theinfamouskiki411 I have no doubt with all of that. I was just saying that was not the mainstream expert view in the relevant sciences like anthropology or biology by even the late 1930s. There are many people who are expert, even brilliant in one field of science but don't know what the hell they are talking in a totally unrelated branch of science. After all, William Shockley, the co inventor of the transistor in 1947 and so started the high tech world we live in today with portable electronic devices, was an award winning physist (including the Nobel Prize) was also an amateur eugenicist and stone cold racist. But yes many people in power who were not scientist in the relevant fields (although there were a small number of racist there too, just not the consensus) had racist beliefs and it affected people's day to day views and some government policy.

[@leg414]

We were taught this in school and also discussed and debunked in class, but this video is great to show what was taught in earlier America but not that long ago. I remember those were the "era" of the "disaffected white supremacist" that needed a scapegoat and someone [racial groups ] of people to blame for their lack of mobility, and their entitlement on employment and racial hierarchy in America. I have actually seen worse, and this type galvanized me to act. I would love to know what motivated or what happened to the people in the video. I wonder if they were uncomfortable with these pseudo-racial stereotypes. This man and his presentation are to make you think about what is America, and what is still controversial and problematic to society since this place is nothing but racial designations and assumed racial designations ! If you really want to research someone that has horrible pseudo-scientific views is J. Philippe Rushton book "Race, Evolution, and Behavior. Peace

I'm fascinated by physiognomy and skin tone and where I live in Southern Europe many of us Northern Europeans develope a year round tan which somewhat alters our appearance and makes us look different from our paler countrymen ( the British can look quite palid). I'm 100% British, but I am almost always mistaken for German - mostly by Germans. It happeneded again yesterday, when an Austrian told my wife he assumed I was German, and when she told him I was English he said that, to him, I didn't look English. Not a problem now, but a few decades ago when Germans were not so popular with the British, I would probably have been quite upset about it.

Yup. This went on into the 70s. I was bussed from my local elementary school. Which was actually a science school. When "Blacks" moved into our neighborhood there was white flight. Germans and Italians attended the school before us. My first day of school I walked in the classroom to find Sambo on the chalkboard. Sambo was used to tell the weather. When it rained Sambo had a rain hat and boots. We were not, and still are not seen as human by many people. Walter Plecker, the eugenicist who initiated the work on classifying "Blacks." Formally differentiating us from society.

Interesting but it is important not to overstate the case. Culture certainly can contribute to criminality (and not just arbitrary notions of criminality). Some cultures are more conducive of law, order, and flourishing. There are often measurable different patterns of criminality among different races, and when acting on limited time and information, one must consider this; but what makes that irrelevant in many cases is you often do have time to get to know specific individuals for whom averages are irrelevant. Finally, descriptions are more helpful the more descriptive they are; and yes, average differences and the typical range of characteristics associated with races and ethnicities can help one narrow one’s focus to better identify someone.
