Racist Eclipse
Dana Mathewson
Essayist professor says that the solar system has an "implicit bias" against African-Americans
Honest, guys, this is NOT from The Onion!
Return your solar eclipse glasses and cancel your sun-watching parties, America. According to The Atlantic, Monday's predicted total solar eclipse is, it turns out, racist.
At first glance, the headline, "American Blackout" appears to be an attempt to one-up the Boston Globe, who claimed that the sun, dastardly conservative that it is,was biased towards Trump supporters, since the swath of the
country that will witness 100% coverage, is made up, mainly, of counties
that went for Trump in the 2016 election.
But no, the
essay, penned, unsurprisingly, by a university professor — Alice
Ristroph of Brooklyn Law School — insists that the solar system, which
itself exhibits signs of "implicit bias," has it out
for minorities.

Gee -- all my White Privilege didn't get me a look at the eclipse -- it was overcast, when it wasn't actually raining.
A NOTE FROM JACK KEMP:
A NOTE FROM JACK KEMP:
Brooklyn Law School. There was a Spike Lee movie called Crooklyn. I think the Law School should change its name to that.
It is most appropriate: Crooklyn Law School.
