Yep, that is EXACTLY what would happen at any high school I can think of in NYC.

As a matter of fact, when I was an undergrad at a large Midwestern university, the student newspaper had a headline based on some research by an astronomy prof at the university: "The Excitability of Black Holes". OMG. The controversy, the s-storm of verbiage which could have filled the famous football stadium, cannot even be described. The black student union threatened all kinds of actions, etc. which only served to highlight their utter ignorance of astronomy. The headline had NOTHING to do with the anatomy of black females, but EVERYTHING to do with a cosmic body of exceedingly enormous gravity from which nothing, not even light, can escape, which is formed by the death and gravitational collapse of a massive star.

Apparently much the same thing happened in 2010 when Hallmark put out a greeting card featuring the term "black hole".

see it here

What is puzzling to me is why perfectly legitimate astronomical terms are eagerly attacked by blacks as "racist" but their own (c)rap music is chock-full of references to "b__ches", "ho's", and other derogatory terms.

"The Excitability of Black Holes"

What gets me is that their skin in no more black than mine is white. I think it's totally out of hand. I'm sick and tired of "black" this and "white" that. Sounds a lot like S. Africa's apartheid crap that they supposedly got rid of.

Now, if astronomers talked about "Negro" holes . . . well . . . that'd be a different thing. Maybe they could call them "Baby Momma" holes.

“...cosmic body of exceedingly enormous gravity from which nothing, not even light, can escape...”

Dually descriptive?
