It was a nice diversion from the divisive identity politics of the time, right up until some idiotic “news” sites managed to somehow inject race into an astrological event.
If you think I’m kidding, I regret to inform you that I don’t think I could make this up even if I wanted to.
Brooklyn Law professor (holy crap someone thinks she’s smart enough to teach?) Alice Ristroph is complaining about the eclipse. She wrote a 4,500-word rant to The Atlantic in which she literally accuses the entire solar system of racism. This is some next-level stuff, guys.
“It has been dubbed the Great American Eclipse, and along most of its path, there live almost no black people. Presumably, this is not explained by the implicit bias of the solar system. Still, an eclipse chaser is always tempted to believe that the skies are relaying a message.”
Hold on, what? Did you actually… “the skies are relaying a message”? What does that even mean, you nutball?

Good Grief!
No black people in St Louis (the most populous city in the path of totality)? She really is nuts!
I need whatever she's smoking lol.
I work at a local emergency clinic and last night we had 6 people come in with sever burns to their eyes. One might go blind.
They were all told that regular polarized sunglasses would be fine to look at the eclipse with!
The victims have retina & cornea burns, itching and lots of pain. Nice job to the idiot that told them it was fine.
Left me out also so maybe the solar system really hates Hungarians and just happened to neglect other groups as well.
The sun is killing Ethiopians so it's racist too.
Everything is racist, don't you know?
What insanity.
I'm firmly convinced there is going to be a civil war in this country a lot sooner than people think. Not like the civil war of the 1860's. But a modern day guerrilla street war the likes of which this country has never seen. Because of idiots like this that keep stoking the fire. Keep it up liberals. Donald Trump will be the least of nightmares.
Dear Lord these people are idiots!
