When I said the eclipse would be portrayed as racist.
From The Daily Caller:
The Atlantic, a once-great magazine, has determined that the total eclipse of the sun due to occur on Monday will fail to affect enough black people.

The Atlantic’s very lengthy essay on the failure of the eclipse to occur where a sufficient number of black people reside is entitled “American Blackout.” It clocks in at a remarkable 4,544 words and does not appear to be satire.

Concerning “the Great American Eclipse,” Brooklyn Law School professor Alice Ristroph writes in the rapidly deteriorating magazine, “there live almost no black people” “along most of its path.”

The Atlantic’s longwinded law professor assures readers that “implicit bias of the solar system” is “presumably” not the cause of eclipse’s failure to affect enough black people.

"Still, an eclipse chaser is always tempted to believe that the skies are relaying a message.”

Oregon, where the eclipse will first appear in the continental United States, “is almost entirely white.” “There are very few black Oregonians, and this is not an accident.” It’s totally on purpose in 2017, The Atlantic claims, because the Pacific Northwest state had a “racial exclusion” clause in its original 1857 constitution.

The Atlantic notes that the eclipse will then move toward Wyoming and Idaho, which also have very low populations of black people. (RELATED: Now America’s National Parks Are Racist)

After an extensive discourse criticizing the U.S. Census, The Atlantic tells readers that the eclipse will travel through Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and Missouri. In this section of its essay, The Atlantic manages to drop the names of Bruce Springsteen, Jesse James, Eminem, Chelsea Manning, Michael Brown and Howard Zinn (a shallow socialist writer panned even by most serious socialists).

Once again the AssClown Shitstain Insipid demonstrates that metaphor is beyond the grasp of your typical conservative.
He can't grasp that the author is using a swath of darkness to illuminate the nature of who we are as a nation.
(He also doesn't understand the meaning of the word "sarcastic".)

Of course, it would help if Insipid had actually read the article himself instead of a predigested version from his handlers, but conservatives are loathe to read much of anything that hasn't been first chewed and then spit into their mouths by someone else.

Now, if Loser Boy Insipid had actually read the article for himself he would have discovered it is about racial divisions in this country at just this point in time brought on by people exactly like him and the rest of his neo-Nazi, white supremacist ilk. From the 3/5 compromise, then the Civil War, through Jim Crow, and up to today's Trumpian Right Wing, race can still be used to divide or unite this country.

The AssClown Shitstain Insipid is, as always, oblivious to the fact that he just illustrated the author's salient point for us here.

Oddly, Swath of Darkness [][/] is the name of my new novel.

One reviewer described it as a "rewarding tapesty of human emotion, a roistering intergenerational saga spanning the globe."

Another conservative who couldn't bothered to read the article doesn't understand that he also just made the closing point of the author of the article.
