Left-wing professor Alice Ristroph (left) says the solar eclipse is racist because few black people live along its path. Naturally, liberals are outraged.
Leftist grievance mongers are whining that today’s solar eclipse is racist. Why? Because the “path of totality,” or the main path of the eclipse, cuts mostly through U.S. states that voted for President Trump.
Leading the race-baiting rant is left-wing Brooklyn Law professor, Alice Ristroph, who railed against the racist sun (that fascist neo-Nazi!) for spreading across states where hardly any black people live.
First off, that is not true. But why let facts get in the way of a moonbat narrative?
“It has been dubbed the Great American Eclipse, and along most of its path, there live almost no black people,” Ristroph wrote in a mind-numbing, 4,500-word post in The Atlantic.
Ristroph details how the solar eclipse starts in Oregon, which is mostly white, and then cuts through pro-Trump states Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and Missouri. “From Kansas, the eclipse goes to Missouri, still mostly bypassing black people,” she bloviated.
At one point, Ristroph praises the moon, because unlike the sun, it isn’t racist. “The shadow of the moon doesn’t care where it falls or who lives below,” she gushed. Liberal logic!
As insane and pseudo-intellectual as The Atlantic’s puff piece is, it’s not the only left-wing media outlet that has slammed the solar eclipse’s inherent racism.
On August 1, the Boston Globe asked: “Is the eclipse throwing shade at Clinton supporters? The path of ideal viewing spots for this month’s highly-anticipated total solar eclipse cuts overwhelmingly through places that voted for President Trump.”
This kind of eye-popping hysteria and lunacy is precisely why Trump won the 2016 election, and why he will win again in 2020. People are fed up with the anti-Trump politicization of everything, from entertainment to sports to cosmic occurrences.
