The first black woman to go to space scolded a CBS News anchor live on TV after he used the term 'mankind' during a discussion of the historic all-female Blue Origin space flight.
Dr Mae Jemison corrected CBS' Vladimir Duthiers after he made the slip while asking about the significance of Monday's mission.
'Explain to our audience why even a trip like this one, all the trips that we take into space, benefit mankind?' Duthiers asked.
'First of all it benefits humankind and I'm going to keep correcting the mankind and the manmade and the manned missions,' Jemison replied, prompting hasty apologies from the anchor.
According to Wikipedia, "Jemison graduated from Stanford University with degrees in chemical engineering as well as African and African-American studies. She then earned her medical degree from Cornell University." And yet she still has difficulty with English.
"Mankind," of course, means "human beings considered collectively; the human race." "Manmade" means "made or caused by human beings (as opposed to occurring or being made naturally); artificial." And the definition of "manned" is "carrying, staffed, or performed by one or more people." People like Jemison are not trying to make the world a better place, but simply have a chip on their shoulder and a desire to make the rest of us suffer for their pleasure or satisfaction by destroying useful, concise terms in favor of ungainly neo-Marxist BS. And her obsession over this rather than answering the deeper question posed to her shows that Jamison is not a serious person.

Commie. Opinion disregarded.
ReplyDeleteThe degree in race/ethnic studies pretty much gave the game away.
