North Carolina's reparation for the dark past of American eugenics | Edwin Black

North Carolina, compensation for victims of forced sterilization is an opportunity to light a horrible tradition of American racial "science"

Twenty U.S. states joined a decades of pseudo-scientific crusade to create a white, blond, blue eyes, biologically superior "race." Your poor research is called utopian eugenics. However, only one state, North Carolina, is preparing for a massive economic reparations for the surviving victims. How to pay in North Carolina is now the subject of historical debate painful.

eugenics was a social theory that fraud of a better society can be created by the removal of "undesirable" human lines and promoting desirable forms. Scientific career has come to life in the turbulent first decade socioeconomic status of the 20th century, in which Asians, Eastern Europeans, Mexicans, American Indians, blacks and other ethnic and mixtures racial cast in American cities, creating class conflict and overpopulation. The intellectual elite academic, scientific and financial support to create better men and women could be grown using the same techniques used by farmers to create a herd of cattle or a wheat field - delete the wrong file and proliferation of good. He planned to eliminate all those who are not similar to 10% at a time - which is about 14 million people in a slice. Their ultimate goal was to eliminate up to 90% of the population of the future breeding of the United States.

The preferred method was the gas chambers and other forms of euthanasia. The first public acts of euthanasia were tabled in the Legislative Assembly of Ohio in 1908. This has failed, as the sign of death other bills. The next best thing was forced surgical sterilization under specific authority of the State which has been validated as the law of the land to the Supreme Court U. S. by a star of American jurists, Oliver Wendell Holmes. In 1927, Holmes has ruled on a complaint, obviously collusion attempts to justify the forced sterilization of three generations of the family of Carrie Buck. Holmes said infamous

"It's better for everyone if, instead of waiting to execute degenerate for crime, or let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind ... Three generations of imbeciles are enough. "

tears in the ashes of post-Nazi Europe, the United States back in the fruit of his officers "raceology." Collective amnesia set eugenics was renamed genetics, and states have begun to repeal or dead letters, which allows the sterilization of its laws.

But not in North Carolina, who continued the practice for years, with a law career is supposedly designed and deployed to eradicate poverty. Thousands more have been sterilized, blacks mostly poor. Now, the State, under the weight of a trillion dollar deficit and an increase in black political power base, the difficulty of raising a formal apology for its racist practices compensation.
