Black Hole is now a "Racist" term
Quote:County commissioners were discussing problems with the central collections office that is used to process traffic ticket payments and handle other paperwork normally done by the JP Courts.
Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, said it seemed that central collections "has become a black hole" because paperwork reportedly has become lost in the office.
Commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, interrupted him with a loud "Excuse me!" He then corrected his colleague, saying the office has become a "white hole."
That prompted Judge Thomas Jones, who is black, to demand an apology from Mayfield for his racially insensitive analogy.

Who wants to be this guy is a liberal?
You think racist charges are normal now? It'll get worse as the election nears. I'm sick and f'n tired of it.

I guess if the office is a "white hole" then there is too much worthless paperwork coming out?

Don't get me started about John Wiley Price.. He is the Dallas, Texas version of Cynthia McKinney......
....except he makes McKinney look SANE.
Price's two favorite words are "racism" and "Conspiracy"... Everything that happens is based on "racism"... and every time he gets in trouble (and its often)... its the product of a "conspiracy"...
His biggest stunt.... back in the 1990's Price didn't like the fact that there were billboards promoting liquor and beer in his district... so he and his little band of thugs just grabbed buckets of paint, climbed up to the billboards, and painted the billboards over....

Every once in a while, when Price is talking about something that can't possibly involve race or enrich his own pockets, John Wiley Price is capable of saying something that resembles lucidity. It's hard to tell if he's back on his medicine or if it's the simian/typewriter/Shakespeare effect.

RE: Black Hole is now a "Racist" term
I guess I'm a racist because I have, at one time or another, used the following words:
Black Sabbath
Black Label
Blacl Velvet
Black head
Black gold
Black Forest
Karen Black
Blackened fish
Blackberry
Black and Decker
Black sheep
Black Angus
Black Jack
Black panthers
Black power
To all those who've suffered humiliation over my use of the above words please accept my sincerest apologies.
