I Knew It: the Eclipse is Racist

8/18/17 The Atlantic:

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.

See, we are showing our white supremacy by keeping black people away from the best show in the universe.   David Thompson calls this essay "excruciatingly woke."  There are many verbs that could follow excruciatingly with equal value.

Of course, she is a beneficiary of white privilege:

The comments at Instapundit are painfully funny:

She didn't jump the shark, she pole vaulted over it. 

Hater Creator plotted racist otbits from the get-go. Somebody up there doesn't like you. 

Okay, in the contest to inject race into any subject, making the eclipse racist is the current winner.

Another sign that, despite herculean efforts by the left, we have still not reached peak stupid.

The Sun is so white hot that is racist.  There are only a few black sunspots.  All the blackness is segregated into these tiny areas.   What do you expect?  And the number of sunspots is in decline.  I blame Trump!
