subject: Perhaps your organization needs hearing aids? Or a science textbook?
body:
Good Afternoon,
Earlier today it came to my attention that your organization has made a racially motivated attack upon Hallmark upon mishearing the term "black hole" as "black whore." Personally, I listened to the card and I don't hear it. At all. Not even a little. Perhaps you are in need of a hearing aid? Or perhaps you simply don't understand what a black hole actually is. Allow me to enlighten you, from Merriam Webster:
black hole - noun - a celestial object that has a gravitational field so strong that light cannot escape it and that is believed to be created especially in the collapse of a very massive star
As you can see, this has absolutely nothing to do with African Americans, unless of course it is your intent to suggest that African Americans are in some way celestial objects with gravitational fields so strong that light cannot escape. Perhaps you think this is why people of African ancestry have such dark skin tone? That's the only possible way I can imagine that anyone within your organization, or the African American community in general, could take offense to the term. Sadly the real science says that skin tone is a result of the amount of a pigment known as melanin present in the body.
Perhaps you and John Wiley Price of the Dallas County Commissioner's Court could go in together to purchase a middle school science textbook and study up on black holes.
Thanks.
P.S. - Why is NAACP not NAAAA? National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is a very racist name since white people aren't supposed to call African Americans "colored" anymore. So shouldn't your organization's name be changed to the National Association for the Advancement of African Americans? Certainly less racist sounding than the organization's current title, and FAR less racist than a card about black holes. Just saying.
