Neil deGrasse Tyson: Calling Me a "Black Scientist" Ghettofies the Conversation

He has a point. No one says Nikola Tesla was a brilliant white scientist, they just call him a scientist. Black people should be afforded the same without the identifier in front of their names.

But he and others could take to understand we don't have many and hold the few we have up. Since we have had bad PR since atleast my since my existence. And there are people out there that do actively try to claim and work to wipe away our existence in anything important.

Yeah I feel you. I guess there has to be a fine balancing act to show the achievement without ignoring someone's identity.
