Ok, speaking as a black person,to all my other black people out there, KNOCK IT OFF.....Stop getting a hair up your ass about the littlest thing,brush them shoulders off,and keep it moving,baby....everybody over the age of 10 should know what a black hole is,that is if you took science at any point in elementary school....I mean give me a break...we all remember the whole "niggardly" incident from back in the day,right? I'm not saying that racism doesn't exist because it does,but clearly not to the extent that it was in the early days (let's say the 50's thru the 70's)...but anyone with at least a junior high education should see that "black hole" is a scientific term and not a racist one....

"Naturual" is the unnatural mutation of "natural". Or something like that.

For the most part, I agree that we tend to stick with what we know and would likely destroy any alien life or whatever that actually presented itself to us, out of paranoid fear. But, as random chance and naturual mutation would prefer, there are many people who are actually attacted to whatever is different from themselves. Some: compulsively so. Perhaps they're what keeps the rest of us from living only in the dark holes we're comfortable with? That sounds worse than how I meant it.

also, it is a deeply-entrenched natural instinct to be suspicious and fearful of whatever is different from you. that's another shortcut in the quantum mechanics of our brains.
