I love it. Any normal person gets it. Of course the "Offended" party has to think anytime the word black is used by anyone it's racist.

Don't forget, we're sexists, bigots and homophobes too. Conservatism, it's not just for Racists anymore. [/sarcasm]
I seem to recall some asshat being upset about the Cleveland Browns a while back. This was at the same time certain groups were interested in changing some pro teams logos, like the Washington Redskins. Having no knowledge of the Cleveland team and it's founder, he just made himself look all the more stupid.They'll probably go after the Cincinnati Reds next.
Renaming a team the Cleveland Kumbayas would achieve nothing but a mass "feel good" effect on the part of the disruptor's.

I guess the next thing we'll see is kids in school not being allowed to refer to the black crayon when they color pictures.Remember the "fleshtone" colored crayon when we were all kids? Gone. Indian Red is out too. Even though Crayola says the name referred to pigment found in India, not Native Americans.

I guess the word black sheep is a racist term. By their thinking whoever coined the term "Black Hole" is a racist.
The term black hole to describe this phenomenon dates from the mid-1960s, though its precise origins are unclear. Physicist John Wheeler is widely credited with coining it in his 1967 public lecture Our Universe: the Known and Unknown, as an alternative to the more cumbersome "gravitationally completely collapsed star". However, Wheeler himself insisted that the term had actually been coined by someone else at the conference and adopted by him as a useful shorthand. The term was also cited in a 1964 letter by Anne Ewing to the AAAS.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole
According to Einstein’s general theory of relativity, as mass is added to a degenerate star a sudden collapse will take place and the intense gravitational field of the star will close in on itself. Such a star then forms a "black hole" in the universe.
The phrase had already entered the language years earlier as the Black Hole of Calcutta incident of 1756 in which 146 Europeans were locked up overnight in punishment cell of barracks at Fort William by Siraj ud-Daulah, and all but 23 perished.
This could be useful if you wind up on Jepoardy some day. I expect you to share some of your $$ with me if it does.QuoteThe term black hole to describe this phenomenon dates from the mid-1960s, though its precise origins are unclear.
