The class is under black studies look at the authors they will be discussing. The astronomy part is the professor will be using astronomy to discuss black issues. They arent saying black holes are racist what he does is use black holes as an analgy to explain race relations. see the books they are discussing like the one from Denise Ferreira da Silva are not about astronomy . Bottom line this is an astronomy teacher that thought it woud be fun to use astronomy as a way to teach race relations.

How long before they have cultural studies professors teaching astronomy?
That should give awesome results.

How about you just teach adults the reality of race relations then without resorting to childish #ing metaphors?

It's idiotic...why are people paying an astronomy teacher to teach them about race relations using analogies about black holes?

If I'm paying for a course on race relations, I'd be pretty #ing pissed off to learn it's being taught by an astronomy professor instead of a sociology professor or someone actually qualified on the subject.

This type of crap is why you have so many retards crying about every single goddamned thing being a racist metaphor.

Next week: Cornell introduces 2nd course discussing why the New Zealand Rugby Union team is NOT all Black and why Maoris are oppressed and miss out because of whiteness.

Your Liberal Universities are breeding grounds for the destruction of America.

Exhibit #1 (UoC- Berkeley):

I fear we, being racists, are not dealing with this in any proper solemnity. There is much work to do. Imagine what it is going to be required to instill in people repentance, especially any smart person, how vile they've been on most tests taken in their lives, to have set out to deal, exclusively. racist right answers to, especially, mathematical problems? When shall we ever move on to discussing our personal gender pronouns and get legislation to categorize the wrong pronouns as felonious assaults on the flower of our dysphoriae?

It happens I myself had to teach a course in biology and have a phd in physics. So the course became about the physics of the human body and how physics helps us survive. I was never so happy as when she came back off maternity leave and I could go back to my lab.

Have they honestly not got better things to do with their time?

Maybe they should explore the racist implications of 'exploring the racist implications of black holes'.

Huh...

Well I'm glad personally my wildlife biology teacher was the top small mammal specialist in the province, my fish biology teacher was a federally renowned fisheries biologist, my plant teachers were PhD botanists, my mapping and surveying teacher was an aerial photography and mapping expert, my geohydromorphology and soil morphology teacher was a PhD geologist and soil expert. My math teacher was a literal rocket scientist.

Because, i paid for that #. I expect to be taught by people that actually know what the hell they're talking about. Not just pulling unqualified # from their ass.

Splendid idea, and, yes, they would find the stinking absurdity of the racist implications right there, too. Instead of notebooks, just pass out mirrors.

well, sometimes you have to cover other departments. Though I think the dean pulling an astronomy professor to teach humanities is kind of stupid it was his call. At least in my case, I was required to take biology courses I've never taken a humanities course in my life. So i would have had to refuse.

But it is standard for professors to cover other departments if they were on leave or fired or quit.

Sounds #ing hilarious.
Wish I could sign up for it.

These are university students?
I'd suggest the best way to learn about race relations is to get out into the 'real world', meet people and learn from real life experiences.

Far too many people in Academia spend far too much time in their Ivory Towers dreaming up stupid stuff to justify their place on the gravy train and to facilitate their next grant.

White supremacy is the single greatest threat to mankind
And climate change
And oil
And meat

There has to be more to this story.

These things don't happen in a vacuum.

Edit: to disclose…

My post was entirely off topic…so therefore…after three rounds of self flagellation with a cat”O”nine tails…and a few self inflicted black eyes…I decided to remove the post in it’s entirety…

Penance served…

Better change that to "bruised" eyes before you get in trouble!


I swear there's some idiot sitting at a desk somewhere with a dictionary, an encyclopedia and a phone book slowly working their way through every last word trying to force some kind of twisted way to attack the language out of it.
Worse than that is the fact they get taken seriously.

They'll say the eight ball is really a cue ball in black face.

Watch.

As a child, I only heard the term "black hole" as part of a funny joke, about this woman who.....er....nevermind. Anyway, it was a racial joke.

Next thing you know, white light is actually trapped in the closet phenomenon, an sunshine an rainbows, are gay.

Quite a stretch, but, umm, oo-kay.

Cornell University has introduced an astronomy course to explore the connection between the term black holes and “racial blackness”

I guess the term "white holes" should be up for discussion as well.

Gentle reminder: This isn't the mudpit.

Cheers

Yes indeed.

I bet they'll go absolutely mental about Black Sabbath next!

Sorry - when I say "mental" I mean... Oh I give up.
