    What is a black body beyond an idealized physical body that absorbs all incident radiation whose properties couldn't be properly explained by classical mechanics, which led to the early formulation of quantum mechanics? Also who called whom an idealized physical body that absorbs all incident radiation whose properties couldn't be properly explained by classical mechanics, which led to the early formulation of quantum mechanics and why?

      The lexical influence of Ta-Nehisi Coates can best be described as black body radiation

          Radiating the usage and prevalence of the phrase "black body", similar to how a blackbody radiates according to a skewed distribution in the ER spectrum based on its temperature.

        not super clear on the intentionality behind it

        Its intentionally demeaning, for when you want to highlight that someone else has demeaned some black people, usually in some kind of violent way.

        And then white libs see people saying it, and they just... they just say it thinking it's just a woke way to say black people lmao...

        My assumption was focusing on the visceral representation as the target of violence. It gives a stronger presence in the words and forces you out of abstraction.

        The problem is that type of language is intentional and meant to be paused over, something that is lost with frequent use.

        I'm in a book club with a bunch of libs and we're reading How to Be an Antiracist and it's a pretty decent book with a good perspective but it's full of this sort of confusing academic language. I'm honestly not sure what the author means when he makes a distinction between black people and black bodies because it seems like he uses them interchangeably

        But it’s super cringe when the same people who say defund the police is a bad slogan use that phrase

      It's othering and I see it as not really all that different to saying "biological sex" to be quite honest.

      This would be really cool if they were doing their moves like, on top of these cops.
