And I don't have a clue.
I just read where the Houston Museum of Natural Sciences sent out an email with the subject line of "Party with Spooks" and shortly thereafter sent out a letter of apology.
Yes, I am aware that the term 'spook' can have racial connotations but that's at the bottom of my list of definitions for the word.
The first definition that comes to mind is a CIA agent.
The second definition is a scary Halloween type of spirit.
The third is the racial connotation referring to blacks.
It's obvious that the second definition applies here so I fail to see where the Houston Museum has anything to apologize for.
If the black/white liberal community has taken issue with this it is another case of creating a problem where there is none and simply of looking for something to feel offended about.
They get no sympathy from me.
