Re: Look out!
No, it wouldn't. Light speed means traveling at the speed of light, a light year is a measurement of distance based on how far light can travel in a standard earth year. Meaning anything "thrown in our direction at near lightspeed" would be here in some percentage more than 26,000 lightyears based on what fraction of the speed of light it was ejected at, but of course black holes don't typically eject matter at all as we understand them now...... I suppose something in just the right place going just the right speed and coming in at just the right angle could conceivably be drawn into a slingshot orbit by the gravity well by skimming just outside the point of no return, called the event horizon where no known particle can pass through without being trapped as gravity prevent even light from escaping when it enters that point, and come out accelerated to some ridiculous speed on a heading for our own solar system. A possibility so remote as to be functionally zero.
