Los Angeles NAACP "offended" by "racist" Hallmark card.

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

Well Cramulus, I would say that it is an onnamus sign when we start leaving things out of textbooks.

I really wonder if anybody ever did tell that guy how to pronounce ominous. And that it doesn't mean "evil".

[Adios]

What this is doing is costing the NAACP credibility they will need if they decide to make a stand on a real issue.

If only Carl Sagan had been black, none of this would have happened.

We have Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

Dude is a planetist.  Always has to be hating on the poor little planets like Pluto, just because they look and act a little different.

What are you, with Affirmative Planetary Action (APA)? The truth is, Pluto just can't do the job of a regular planet. Too small, and too far from the sun. We've got some major workhorses in this solar system, just look at Jupiter! Are you saying you think Pluto could do Jupiter's job? Sorry, but that little dwarf (yes I said it, so sue me; I bet you'd prefer "little planet", you politically correct asshole) is barely the size of Jupiter's smallest moons. It doesn't make the cut, would crack under the heavy gravitational stresses. Leave the big jobs to the planets who are qualified.

To be fair, Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet.
Just like Mercury through Mars are classified terrestrial planets.

I'm quite fond of the classification of ice giant. It amuses me.

Pluto is just out there trying to scrape by in this big Solar System.  Why do you gotta be bringing him down?  The Kuiper belt isn't showing any love.  There's just no way for poor Pluto to make it there.  But in Planetary System, there is opportunity.  Pluto is just taking the revolution that the other planets won't take anyway.  You don't see Mars lining up to make the big, unlevel trip around the Sun.  Nobody else is gonna do it so let's just let the poor guy be.  Who's he hurting?

I am offended by the offense.
