Are black holes racist

"Cornell University has introduced an astronomy course to explore the connection between the term black holes and “racial blackness” — proof, say critics, that even the hard sciences aren’t immune to universal “racial hysteria.”

The course, titled “Black Holes: Race and the Cosmos,” uses work from black studies theorists, artists and fiction writers to challenge “conventional wisdom” about the role that race plays in astronomy.

“Conventional wisdom would have it that the ‘black’ in black holes has nothing to do with race. Surely there can be no connection between the cosmos and the idea of racial blackness. Can there?” reads the college catalog description."


Should we call them another term not "Black holes?"

More stupidity from some people who have nothing better to do than look for ways to cause race problems.

How about the world's most prestigious card, The American Express Centurion Card aka "The Black card"
Or all the "Visa Black" cards which sit at the top of the credit card pecking order.
Or how about all the high end models of cars called the "Black badge" "Black Edition" "Black Label"
How about Johnny Walker "Back Label" or "Double Black Label" whiskey.


Jesus Christ some people go looking for trouble where there is none. Is there racism in the world, sure there is, is it wrong sure it is, will it ever end probably not but don't get so touchy people. Guess what limousines are 99% of the time black, when you dress up for formal events you were a black suit and tie... black looks good especially for cars. Nearly every car I have ever bought has been black, I like my cars black.

Space is black from what little I know about it, so what color do you suggest they use dude. That is pushing the race issue too far.
