The buffoonish stupidity of the Left is quite simply ASTOUNDING!

Stop watching the eclipse. It's racist.
If you want evidence that the American leftist cult has reached a point of fanatical unreason every bit as bad as the darkest of dark ages, here's a sentence from the Atlantic's piece on the eclipse.
On August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse will arrive mid-morning on the coast of Oregon. 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.
Presumably.
We can't rule out the possibility entirely. It's presumably not the case. But you never know with white supremacy. It could be embedded in the very orbital trajectories of the solar system. We really need some intersectional astronomy to figure this one out.
The article is emblematic of the sort of deranged racially toxic revisionist history that fills American Studies. The formula is simple. X + Racism = topic. Take anything, link it to racism, write about it to show how racist America is.
Even an eclipse.
Oregon, where this begins, is almost entirely white. The 10 percent or so of state residents who do not identify as white are predominantly Latino, American Indian, Alaskan, or Asian. There are very few black Oregonians ...
From Oregon, the Great American Eclipse will travel through Idaho and Wyoming. (It will catch a tiny unpopulated piece of Montana, too.) Percentage-wise, Idaho and Wyoming are even whiter than Oregon. And as in Oregon, but even more so, the few non-white residents of Idaho and Wyoming are not black - they are mostly Latino, American Indian, and Alaskan ...
Err and so what?
The premise of the American left's racist witch hunt for the last two generations is that if you can show black people aren't doing somewhere or being something, then ... racism.
Except Idaho, Wyoming and Montana are lightly populated. Period.
And they are more likely to have Latinos than black people for obvious geographical and commercial reasons. They're rural areas with a lot more ranching.
Are we meant to feel guilty because Montana has more American Indians than black people? Is this a reflection on the eclipse's internalized racism? ...
