Don’t know if we should be calling these woke folks, ‘astronauts’ or ‘cosmonauts’. But it was also expected that the people they picked for a hypothetical lunar mission would be leftists who hate America. Their experiments will likely consist of measuring equity on the moon and claiming that low-gravity environments have a disproportionate impact on people of color. And this garbage is starting early. Really early.
NASA astronaut Victor Glover, recently named as the pilot of the Artemis II mission around the Moon, listens to Gil Scott-Heron’s poem “Whitey on the Moon” twice a week on the way to work.
Maybe doing some actual mission prep would be more helpful? But we’re dealing with wokes here. So signaling their virtue and, in typical fashion, preemptively dumping on whatever task they’re going to screw up anyway is more important than the actual mission.
In the 1970 spoken-word poem, Scott-Heron criticizes investment in space when black people in the U.S. couldn’t afford health care.
Gil Scott-Heron, a racist crackhead who came down with HIV, was not offering some meaningful critique of the space program, he was inanely blaming white people for his problems.
Was all that money I made las’ year (for Whitey on the moon?) How come there ain’t no money here? (Hm! Whitey’s on the moon) Y’know I jus’ ’bout had my fill (of Whitey on the moon)
Imagine the outrage if a white astronaut were prepping with a racist tone poem about black people.

This is real right? No sarc tag, not the Onion or the Bee?
May God help us! The world has gone completely MAD!!!
Will he feel more comfortable and proud when he’s on the dark side of the moon? Honestly, this crap is beyond ridiculous. I’m not sure if he realizes (or cares), that he is really not a follower of Christ, when you praise Jesus and then immerse yourself in crap like this (not loving your neighbor comes to mind-wonder if he knows that is a commandment of Jesus?).
That is truly the horrifying part of this.
They should dump his racist ass on the lunar surface and leave him there.
No white people ro bother him.
Me: "No. BTW I farted in your helmet in the prep room."
Didn't they make a movie about that, recently?
If it weren’t for white people, he wouldn’t be an astronaut because the science and engineering wouldn’t exist.
That is absolutely the most delightful thing I may ever have watched.
I first saw it years ago and still think of it often.
Thanks for posting. I was about to do the same.
One day, surely, it will disappear.
A coon on the moon by June
This negro would be living in the mud slapping flies away from his face had we not plucked his ancestors from the dark continent. Ingrate savage.
Race Cards In Space. I don’t know why Glover would want to go to the moon. There are no Walmarts to loot or Circle Ks to knock off. Do they make “hoodies” for space suits? I would have preferred they had sent a Red Chinese Spy Balloon driver instead of this whitey hater. At least THEY respect America. Sending one of the Vindman brothers to clean the toilets during the trip would also have been a good idea. This jackass adds a whole new meaning to the term space race. I imagine the boy is going to want to be planting African flags on the moon.
Ask Neil deGrasse Tyson....................
Neither could a lot of white people. But gloss right over that for your agenda.
Yeah. A FB frenemy was going on about how racist it was to deny the black female mathematicians their due. Bet she can’t name any white NASA mathematicians.
Don’t know if we should be calling these woke folks, ‘astronauts’ or ‘cosmonauts’.
How about lunatics?
