Actually I didn't suggest that. I merely said I was sick seeing only white males there. Which I am. You can't tell ME that there are no qualified women, Asian American men, African American Men, Latino men, etc exist- I'm sure there are some somewhere. And because there have been structural inequalities in this country since it's inception none of those classes of people even had a seat at the table for well over a hundred years. Do you need to be reminded that women could not even vote until 1920! My grandmother remembered not being able to vote. Darwinian fitness is not apt here, imo, until you ask fitness for what. If you mean white men were able to be the biggest bullies and keep intelligent people out of the process, then yes, I'd agree with you- they were fit to do that. I think I'm very moderate only to be sick of it. I'm not blowing up white men or anything. I don't even picket them. So I disagree with how you decided to rephrase what I said.
