Black Scientist: Push to Colonize Mars is Racist
Pundit Press ^ | 4/17/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 04/17/2015 7:45:59 AM PDT by rightistight

Dr. Danielle N. Lee, who writes for the Scientific American blog network and calls herself "the Urban Scientist," believes that the push to visit Mars and eventually inhabit it is "white colonialism."

Dr. Lee expressed her concerns in both the Scientific American blog and on Twitter. Writing in Scientific American in an article titled, "When discussing Humanity’s next move to space, the language we use matters," Dr. Lee discusses Elon Musk's push to inhabit Mars some day.

She is very critical of Musk, saying that his language is not inclusive enough to either women and minorities. "Diversity, Inclusion, Access and Ethics should be a critical part of these conversations about space science, discovery, exploration, and yes eventual travel and emigration," she writes. "And when we look around and see a homogenous [sic] group of individuals discussing these issues – issues that command insane budgets, we should pause."

On Twitter, she was much more forward, writing:

Scientist

Keep in mind, Musk never said that space colonization was for only whites. In fact, he never mentioned race once. The only reference to people by Musk in Dr. Lee's article was when Musk said that "humans" must get excited to explore space.

No matter, Dr. Lee has more to say about his ideas:

Scientist Musk

So what is the poor University that needs to include her on the list of their esteemed alumni PhDs?
Kind of devalues the other PhDs that went to that school.

First off, any expedition initially successful in the world's current political environment will have to come in the form a military styled operation under command. Exporting our political and class struggles into space under the guise of diversity where each individual is totally invested with where they came from is not going to work. Either you pull your weight or you don't go (further is the case).

All the affirmative and race and political warriors will have to be denied passage.

The major reasons that there were no blacks in the early space program were, one - there were very few if any black test pilots, two - most of the committees in the House and Senate were controlled by southern Democrats who controlled funding.

I guarantee that the 1st person to set foot on Mars will NOT be a male WASP.

Too late. Astronauts have already been to Mars and left an American flag there. Just ask Sheila Jackson Lee.

Srry Mrs Scientists, but it’s a ‘liberal colonization’ NOT a white colonization thing... There, I said it

We’re sending whites (liberals), Hispanics (illegal liberals) and black folks who whine a lot (liberals) there, gay people (liberals)- maybe even some Honduran liberals too, and any race or color that is liberal and whines a lot- quit yer whining Sir scientist- you’ll be in good mixed company- nothing racist about that

Danielle is an “Outreach Scientist.” I kid you not.

Is that anything like a "Developer Evangelist"?
