@neiltyson I'm going to assume no one has told you that you can't study or write about space because you're black.

That last RT from
@neiltyson goes triple for lawyers. "I'm a lawyer!" is not persuasive to anyone. -
@lawyerist@neiltyson If discussing the law, "I'm a lawyer!" impresses me more than "I'm not a lawyer, but I watch a lot of cop shows!" - 1 more reply

@neiltyson then why do you list that stuff on your twitter account? -
@rovino I totally respect@neiltyson -but the statement seemed odd in contrast with how often his credentials are invoked around his opinion -
@ABAOProductions@rovino seems like others invoke@neiltyson's creds more than he does IMO. some people just have a rep that precedes them -
@CrillFactor@rovino@neiltyson yes. But he uses his creds in his twitter account where he gives opinions. Seemed oddly contradictory.
