  • Race: Biological or Cultural?

    Race: Biological or Cultural?

    Through research of DNA samples, scientists have been able to declare that race is not biologically constructed due to the similarities between human genes.

    Although it is thought of as having been 'written' by Hitler, Mein Kampf is not a book in the usual sense.

Reading Mein Kampf is like listening to Hitler speak at length about his youth, early days in the Nazi
