That is what this article appears to be suggesting
— evidently, supermassive black holes that pull in large amounts of molecular cloud can form elliptical discs of gas remnants, which (perhaps due to the unique gravity conditions?) can subsequently give rise to star formation.
Even in destruction, then, creation takes place. Very cool.

Okay, so do we all remember that guy who complained that the term “black hole” was a racial statement?
Yeah — he’s sticking to his guns, and is further claiming that the term “devil’s food cake” is racist. Also, “black sheep” is apparently also unacceptable — someone inform the kindergartens!
Much like a black hole, this is a level of stupidity and hyper-sensitivity from which there is no escape.

Somebody tell NASA. Also, let’s get all those various gravitational physics and astronomy books off of the shelves right now — we can’t allow The ChildrenTM to be exposed to such blatant hate literature!
This is beyond stupid. Seriously, have we become such thin-skinned fools in our society that even common names for physical phenomena are likely to offend people?
Get over yourselves, losers!
