Just curious how such an interesting topic devolves so quickly into a race rant.

What race rant?

Perhaps you mean this one:

"Whitey on the Moon"
-Gil Scott Heron

A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Her face and arms began to swell.
(and Whitey's on the moon)
I can't pay no doctor bill.
(but Whitey's on the moon)
Ten years from now I'll be payin' still.
(while Whitey's on the moon)
The man jus' upped my rent las' night.
('cause Whitey's on the moon)
No hot water, no toilets, no lights.
(but Whitey's on the moon)
I wonder why he's uppi' me?
('cause Whitey's on the moon?)
I wuz already payin' 'im fifty a week.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Taxes takin' my whole damn check,
Junkies makin' me a nervous wreck,
The price of food is goin' up,
An' as if all that shit wuzn't enough:
A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Her face an' arm began to swell.
(but Whitey's on the moon)
Was all that money I made las' year
(for Whitey on the moon?)
How come there ain't no money here?
(Hmm! Whitey's on the moon)
Y'know I jus' 'bout had my fill
(of Whitey on the moon)
I think I'll sen' these doctor bills,
Airmail special
(to Whitey on the moon)

Perhaps you have forgotten about "The Reverend" Ralph Abernathy, demanding that the money spent on Apollo be redirected to "inner city" social welfare programs. Perhaps you have forgotten the democRAT Party politicians doing the same. Perhaps you have forgotten the democrat Party politicians demanding that NASA apply race quotas to hiring astronauts, regardless of actual qualification.

I have not.

You want "race rants"?

You're barking up the wrong tree, here.
