Jan 8, 2012 - I personally am proud that Mr. deGrasse Tyson is a black man. We do need men of his intellect and brilliance as an example to young minorities that we can strive to be something other than a music stars and athletes. For this I thank him.

Jan 18, 2012 - I love it when NDT yells. It's exactly the way I yell when trying to make a point. It's not because of anger, but enthusiasm.

Jan 21, 2012 - @henkvanderlaak unless of course alot of black people in a limited area have a community for some reason and you need a word to describe that community.

Jan 27, 2012 - @henkvanderlaak Hell yes. I always get annoyed when I see news stories talking about schools, who then go on to list the ethnic makeup of the school, as if anyone cares about how it has a 38% hispanic population.

Feb 1, 2012 - I am a white male, and grew up in somewhat of a.. i hate to use the word racist but divided culture between blacks and whites. Never mind the civil rights movement of the 60's and even that there is a black president. Neil Degrass Tyson I think puts this division between blacks and whites to a close, and hopefully the whole entire species concludes that we are all one, and we can explore the cosmos together.

Jan 6, 2012 - @cheatdath Neil will probably tell you that you're a jackass. Being proud of his accomplishments and not your own is stupid.
