Remember: Neil DeGrasse Tyson drugged and raped a woman in Texas, while he was working at UT Austin.

He then proceeded to tell her, to her face, that he chose her as a victim, specifically because they were both black scientists, and therefore she would be extremely reluctant to say anything about it, because it would harm the reputation of black people in the academic community, and it would be a hard case to prove, anyway.

But because he's a black man who humorously pwns the religious people, everyone gave him a pass, and decided to just flat-out refuse to believe the victim.

It's not just that accusation, either. There are multiple others. I just know more details about that one, off the top of my head.
