I had a very liberal History professor at Cleveland State who accidentally used “niggardly” in a casual statement and damn it if every rotten one of our so-called “black students” got up on their haunches and bitched the poor bastard out.
All I could hear from him was, “yeah but . . . yeah but . . . yeah but.”
I laughed my ass off at his trying to defend himself and at their total stupidity. But those chips were on their shoulders was back in 1979.
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".
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.
