Fact: NASA uses racist clocks.


People are blind to many forms of racism. With a legacy of hundreds of years,
racism is steeped into our culture so deeply that many forms go unchecked.
People continue to use these heavily tainted aspects with no thought at all
about the roots of where these things came from.

As evidenced on this forum, people do not care that the Apollo 16 landing site
has been branded with racist symbolism. People care even less that the clocks
that NASA uses continue to promote a racist legacy.

There are other examples beside clocks and Stone Mountain. We could play 'Spot
the Racism', if anyone was game.

Here's one that was pointed out earlier...
Astronaut Jan Davis flying her "WASP" pennant, her alma mater Georgia Tech:

As for the clocks, no one complains about it. The voices of the people who care
has been squashed so thoroughly that their voice is not even heard anymore.

Anyone interested in more examples? Here is a list of NASA aircraft:

There are several examples of officially sanctioned racism by NASA right there.
It continues through to today. And nobody cares.


It has been recently suggested that certain issues are Off Topic for this forum.
But these things being highlighted here span from today all the way back to the
very beginnings of NASA and earlier. So I see them to be quite fitting for
discussion among those with an interest in space history.
