Naming a shark the "Great White" is racism. When will a shark be called the Great Black?

Hearing that Galveston is filling up with people who want to celebrate Juneteenth and many are worried about sharks in the water. This is going to be a very interesting weekend for those who call Galveston, Texas home!!

The darkest shark I know of is called megamouth. Make of it what you will.

They’d call it racist if it was called a great black shark since it’s a predator.

“Why it gotta be black yo?!”

Just ignore these fricking nerds.

Megamouth’s are dark in color, operating in the darkness of the sea and has a grill.

They've actually pivoted from Great White to just White shark. I kid you not. For "scientific reasons".

That is so dumb. I wish they'd leave settled things... settled.

And Pluto needs to make a comeback.

None of them can swim so they should stay out of the water

a great white is an apex predator....calling it a great black would be racist as you are "implying that blacks are apex predators"

When the shark not only attacks a swimmer, but mugs them too.
