They will now be referred to only as holes of color.

Space seems to flow, and the closer one gets to the black hole, the faster it flows.

That's a very strange idea... The idea of space itself flowing down a black hole faster than the speed of light. I've run into it before here (PDF file) but more or less interpreted it as just an analogy, a mathematically equivalently way to look at the problem.

But if space actually is flowing like water, that is just so bizarre.... And with billions, or even trillions, of black holes out there in the universe sucking space down faster than the speed of light, in effect destroying it, or removing it from the universe, it's mind-boggling that there is yet some other mechanism out there (called dark energy) that totally dominates the whole space equation thing, adding space, expanding the universe, much, much faster than all those trillions of black holes can gobble it up and destroy it.

Some illustrious “scientists” suggest it still comes out of a “white hole”, thus there is no discrimination, and all is balanced.

I’m really compelled to say that space doesn’t “flow” into a black hole. Gravity is a space-time curvature. I don’t like ridiculous concepts.

In the interest of affirmative action we will no long be able to employ only iceholes when fishing on Lake Michigan. We will also be required to hire black holes (holes of color). This means we will have extra iceholes lying around.
