Re: "Black Hole" now a racist term

I caught that on TV the other day. I'm having a tough time deciding whether it is funny or sad.

That's only true if you're sitting atop a black hole's singularity, from any other perspective a black hole is indeed black. Anyway, regardless of the relative inaccuracy of his assessment that black hole's are not black this is simply bonobo terrority and requires no rebuttal, only laughter.

Re: "Black Hole" now a racist term

I watched the video and heard some laughs when he spoke up and said it was racist. That's the only thing appropriate about this.

Re: "Black Hole" now a racist term

I don't see what's so offensive about being associated with the most powerful force known to mankind.
