Thought for the Day: The Great Racist Eclipse

Phillip Scott

I first heard about this at Power Line:

“In the Atlantic, Alice Ristroph laments the path of the total solar eclipse:

“On August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse will arrive mid-morning on the coast of Oregon. The moon’s shadow will be about 70 miles wide, and it will race across the country faster than the speed of sound, exiting the eastern seaboard shortly before 3 p.m. local time. 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.”

Now Andrew Bolt has a different take:

“Obviously the eclipse must be banned and compensation offered.”

I wonder if the idiot who wrote this realised that a black object would entirely take the place of a white object.
