No one responding on any of the sources on the internet has concurred that "black hole" is racist. There were no laws passed or judicial opinions. You're overreacting to the opinions of two locally elected officials 1,000 miles away.What makes one "sound ignorant"? He obviously doesn't know why a black hole is called a black hole. He thinks that it was called black because it's bad instead of being called black because light supposedly can't escape. He knows precisely what a black hole is—he's not ignorant of that whatsoever—but he still believes the term to be "racist" in spite of the fact that it is not. Now you're a mind reader? |
