FW: [TDSN] Fw: [DSALF] Amazon selling book titled Your Mongoloid, Tips For Care and Feeding

[Guest guest]

I was just sent this email by our local DS Chapter President.  I am really shocked and speechless.  I am passing this along in hopes that maybe we can stop the sale of this offensive book.

They were once thought to have sprung fully formed from dung heaps and waste pits. Early alchemists theorized that these mysterious creatures were natural homunculi, hatched in swamps, extrapolating their theories from the false idea of abiogenesis, taught by Aristotle himself. " From the dank and vile recesses of the filthy swamp, among the snakes and toads, these malformed abominations slither forth into the world of man. The hatchlings cling to their mother's back like the offspring of the spider, as she slinks through the muck and the slime " . – Paltournus (1542)Alchemists thought that the building blocks of life were in such abundance in the wild that mongoloids simply began existing out of a vacuum. Hogwash, yes, but not at the time. The myth of the naturally occurring mongoloid held sway over the `scientific' community for many centuries. When evolutionary theories began springing up in the popular consciousness, it was first suggested that Homo Mongoloidus was an evolutionary offshoot of Homo-Sapien. Though this idea is repugnant and laughable by today's standards, this theory was commonly believed for several hundred years, until modern science finally answered the question once and for all. " It is now evident, and incontrovertible, that the mongoloid is not an evolutionary ancestor of the human. The micro-biological, chemical, and para-anthropological experiments my team has performed over the last decade have finally yielded concrete results. Homo Mongoloidus is a mammal very much like a human, sharing many of the same traits and DNA, but it has most certainly reached the end of its evolutionary process chain. The mongoloid is frozen now in the amber of time, never to move past its genetic limitations, and unable to grow, mature, or change as a species, neither in a macro or micro-evolutionary sense. We have been able to determine that the mongoloid is a dead-end genetic subset of the Homo Erectus Fetidus, or the ancient Block-Headed Swamp Ape, also known as The Alligator Monkey, or the Pleistocene Primate Platypus " . –Dr. Honan Davenport (1966 Journal of Evolutionary Microbiological Nomenclature)So now we know that though the mongoloid looks human, can speak and follow simple directions, and can add value to society as a companion or a pet, it is not human, and should not be treated as such. It should be treated with care and respect, but never forget that the common mongoloid is, at heart, a dangerous wild animal.EARLY HISTORYThe term mongoloid is derived from the ancient Sumerian word mong, which means `Devourer of Crops'. In Egypt they were known as the Pehft, or `River People'. The early mongoloid was a migratory species, and most early cultures encountered them. Packs of wild mongoloids roamed the world, feeding on crops or livestock, and they frequently clashed with the indigenous peoples of various lands. The mongoloid was the feared outsider, the suspicious thing, the thief, the child-snatcher, the rape-artist of ancient history. In many parts of the world they were hunted to near extinction. That, coupled with the murderous, incestuous, and generally unhealthy lifestyle of the mongoloid, kept their populations low. They soon learned that they could not coexist with the denizens of the civilized world, so they gradually started to keep to themselves, becoming reclusive and dangerous, achieving the status of living myths and legends in many cultures. " Touchest thou not the unclean creature of the shadow, the eaters of the dead, the slayers of children, the defilers of the Sabbath, for they are not the children of God, and they know not his love or his grace. " –Job 21: 17The Asian people had a particularly eventful shared history with the mongoloid. The early Asian people were one of the only civilizations that made a serious attempt to live in harmony with the mongoloid species. The Great Acceptance, as this open-armed approach to relations with the mongoloid was called, is now widely regarded as one of the most tragic mistakes ever committed in the history of humankind. All over Asia, the mongoloid was welcomed as an equal, allowed to own property and mingle with human Asian citizens. What followed were centuries of bloodshed, war, rape, and strife that caused a massive splintering of Asian society. The mongoloid gene overpowered the weaker Asian genetic code, and over the years, all Asian peoples began to exhibit physical similarities. The population attempted to avoid this genetic subjugation by breaking up their population, but it was too late. Now the Asian people bear the ancient and shameful physical scars of their foolish ancestors in the form of their slight frames, unruly hair, and almond-shaped eyes.

Joan you do not have to post this but the National DS just sent an email that Amazon did remove the book.  I am sorry that this topic caused so much stir.  I just forwarded it because personally I would like to see this kind of book not available.  We work hard to change the way people and society look at our children/adults.  Sorry this has caused any pain for you.
