Although you could argue that the negro did end up exploring the world and inventing things, but in doing so he evolved into the white man.

Pretty sure the Negro evolved after the common ancestor of man left Africa.

Except that this quote was not made by Charles Darwin but by some southern white supremacist (who's name escapes me) who did just about no research on Africa.

The name you're looking for is Thomas Dixon, Jr.

Darwin still hated niggers though.

>Darwin still hated niggers though.
I'm not so sure this is from his wikipedia page.
>His taxidermy lessons in 1826 from the freed slave John Edmonstone, who he long recalled as "a very pleasant and intelligent man", reinforced his belief that black people shared the same feelings, and could be as intelligent as people of other races. He took the same attitude to native people he met on the Beagle voyage.[186] These attitudes were not unusual in Britain in the 1820s, much as it shocked visiting Americans. British society became more racist in mid century,[24] but Darwin remained strongly against slavery, against "ranking the so-called races of man as distinct species", and against ill-treatment of native people.[187][VII] He valued European civilisation and saw colonisation as spreading its benefits, with the sad but inevitable effect that savage peoples who did not become civilised faced extinction. Darwin's theories presented this as natural, and were cited to promote policies that went against his humanitarian principles.[188]

It's Thomas Dixon.

Birth of a Nation is an adaption of his play, The Klansman.

Didn't this nonsense fucking ruin him and his empire?

Yes. He didn't take the Russian surrender when he had the chance IIRC. Which wasn't comepletely stupid, the Russians could have just spent some time reinforcing in that convienient peace and had a second go.

I eat my words.
