White is white, black is black, grey is the color of the moon. Anyone who objects to the term “black hole” is ignorant of the rationale for the term. Black in physics is the total absence of color, and in the case of a black hole, nothing escapes except for quite possibly Hawking radiation.

Therefore any correlation between a tangible entity on planet earth which tends to absorb all within its grasp leaving no evidence of a previous existence has nothing to do with race. To assume otherwise is the sign of an unschooled Ignoramus.

Call me politically correct!

You can wish it was fake, but it isn’t. John Wiley Price is dead serious about it. He has been a power in Dallas County politics for decades and has made sillier points.

What? What is sh..t?! “Frozen Star”? Oh, my Lord! My nationals don’t know about this!
=))))
In Russia, Black Star meaning Black Star (Cheornaya Deira). Not anatomical meaning! Only astronomical!
Learn Russian! Prove to useful! =)))

This weekend I was reading a sci-fi story from the late 50’s. I forget the name of the story (damn brain!), kept talking about ‘collapsars’ and I think they were referencing black holes.

Maybe.

We use to have Harassment Training here at work, but apparently they didn’t feel the name was good enough, so now it’s Non-Harassment Training.

Just to be on the safe side, I refer to White Dwarfs as “vertically challenged Caucasian stars”…
