To Predestine and Condition – On Dorothy Roberts’ Fatal Invention

“The highly publicized lawsuit was intensified by the clinic’s failure to deliver a white baby…”

Dorothy Roberts stood before a room full of people, showing a picture of what seemed to be a happy interracial family portrait. But it wasn’t a happy family picture, or even a success story. The picture staring down at that night’s crowd was proof and evidence to a lawsuit – it was a picture capturing the failure of a reproduction clinic to produce a blond hair, blue eyed child. It was a picture overtly publicizing the devaluation of black babies because of their race. It may be cliché to reference Aldous Huxley when discussing Dorothy Roberts’ Fatal Invention: How Science, Politics, and Big Business Re-Create Race In the Twenty-First Century, yet when covering Roberts’ account of the alarming push to find evidence behind the notion of ‘biological race’ one finds themselves eerily remembering the eugenic utopia of Huxley’s novel, and the warnings it posed to the world. Deaf ears seemingly received those warnings. Robert’s Fatal Invention traces society’s tragic scientific credence of “biological race” and its possible implications in the rise of eugenics and justifications of social class stratification in the twenty-first century.  With extensive research, Roberts shows just how big of an issue race is for modern society; furthermore, how such a delusion (that race is biologically inherited) distorts and pacifies many Americans against purely barbaric, cruel, and unfounded practices against certain races, particularly African Americans. (more…) http://www.tb-credit.ru/dengi-v-dolg.html http://www.tb-credit.ru/our-company.html
