The latest “Racism” scandal

Apparently, if you have a card using flippant space humour, you can’t talk about “Black Holes”.

As Hot Air says,

The best news? If this is what the L.A. NAACP now considers a priority for direct action, Los Angeles must be completely racism-free. Three cheers for progress.

They might as well shut up shop if they’re this desperate to find offense. I’ve listened to the card twice, and it clearly says “hole”, even without the obvious space context.

There are some funny comments on the Hot Air post, but this one stood out.

It took three years before a graduation card got noticed by these morons?

Hmmm.

In other news, the Rabbi who exposed Helen Thomas’ racism has recieved 25,000 hate emails.

RABBI DAVID NESENOFF: As we’re talking here, right now, the emails on my email are like a ticker tape. It’s been this way for a week. It’s going, going, going.

MORRISON: 25,000 and counting — messages like:

“The Jews need to go home just like the filthy illegals that plague America, same (expletive).”

“I know your type you gentile hating Jew boy. Come and face me turd. I’ll smash u under my boot.”

“Hitler was right. Time for you to go back in the oven.”

Most of the senders not even bothering to hide their email addresses.

NESENOFF: These are people that feel very mainstream about anti-Semitism and hate. They feel so proud of it. There is an arrogance about it. There is no shame.
