...thinks it is a racial slur.
Maybe he thought he said Black Ho?
Correction: Aparently two morons don’t know what a black hole is.
Who gives a damn?
A commissioner and a supposedly highly educated judge who are unfamiliar with dinner table science terms?
Obamative Action at work.
Not to mention the knife-edged, hair-trigger “racism” reaction.
How would the whitey’s here like to have their livlihood in the hands of this ignorant, racist judge clown?
There are Millions and Millions and Millions of black holes... Carl Sagan must be turning in his grave...
...he doesn’t know what a black hole is?
Obviously the only politically correct thing to do is rename ‘black holes’ to …oh I don’t know…‘other than white holes’?
John Wiley Price is a firebrand from wayback. He knows very well what a “black hole” is but chooses to make an incident for reasons best known to himself.
Definitely. Time to set up a kangaroo court like they have in Canada to investigate and punish speech deemed offensive. Totalitarianism baby. Silence critics by using whatever means necessary.
It is not a racial slur. This just proves that ANYTHING that a non-minority says or does, or doesn’t say or do can be twisted into something racist.
Must have had a very niggardly science education, I suspect.
The judge is a brown (mental) dwarf.
I tell you America has created a monster. Just say racist to anything that does not suit you. We need to come back into the universe. We have a generation that has been brainwashed into thinking they are racist and owe the black community something.On the other hand the government has the black community depending totally on them and not their own ability. It is a MONSTER!
In the context of cosmology and many other areas, 'black' describes the absence of light.
Additionally, there are no black people on this planet. There are very dark skinned people and many of them have ancestors who inhabited parts of Africa.
Just because they choose to call themselves 'black' does not make it true.
Conversely, a singularity that has collapsed on itself and has a gravitational pull so strong that even light cannot escape, is truly 'black'.
So anyone who is offended by the term Black Hole should pick another color to describe themselves. QED.
Now that was a racist remark.
The judge want to law school somewhere. Wanna guess the standards of that school? Oops, could be Harvard Law, since they graduated the Obamaloon - who only slightly exceeds W when speaking extemporaneously.
Apparently the science education budget at the judge’s public grammar school was quite niggardly.
As I recall, “Black hole” is an obscenity of some kind in Russian. They call them “Collapsars”
Other soon-to-be-renamed items:
black box (on planes)

black ball
black list
brown bagging your lunch to work
electrical black outs and brown outs
Feel free to add to the list of offensive items, folks. We feel your pain.
