Is the new age harmless?

Racial theory by Steiner

On your left is some indisputable evidence of Steiner's racism, his belief of mankind descending from Atlantis and the aleged superiority of Europeans. It straightforwardly suggests that Europeans are more evolved in human evolution than most other races. According to Steiner's writings negroes are childlike and "their intestines are hardened".

"But the people didn't develop their id, that was too exposed to the sun, they were like plants: they produced far too much carbon under their skin — and became black. That is why the negroes are black".

And is what he had to say about Native Americans:

"It isn't because of the whims of the Europeans that the Indian population has died out, but because the Indian population had to acquire the forces that led it to die out".

In other words he saw it as a natural process for American Indians to eventually die out as an echo to the already racist philosophy of Charles Darwin about the "survival of the fittest" and of "natural selection".
