Dallas County meeting turns racial ("black hole" now a "racist" term)

A special meeting about Dallas County traffic tickets turned tense and bizarre this afternoon.

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.

Mayfield shot back that it was a figure of speech and a science term. A black hole, according to Webster's, is perhaps "the invisible remains of a collapsed star, with an intense gravitational field from which neither light nor matter can escape."

Now the term ‘master/slave’ cannot be used. Instead you must use primary/secondary.

This has actually spread to real estate, where the master bedroom has been renamed "the owner's suite". No kidding !

And husband means “master of the house.” Wonder what should take the place of that...

John Wiley Price is widely known as an idiot.

Dallas has been a cesspool of stupidity for quite some time.

Sounds like Commissioner Price got his knickers in a twist. Anyone that dumb is truly an enigma.

Yes, this is funny, but the unfunny thing is that Price, and people who think like him, will insist that this is "another example of the racism we have to fight every day" instead of an example of his own stupidity.

in 2008, 99.9% of what minorities consider "racism" is literally a figment of their own imaginations.

Sounds like the word “black” is now considered to be a racist term by “blacks”.

The term “ignorance is bliss” cannot be uttered again.

The offended party, an educated man in a position of responsibility, has never heard of a “black hole”?

Perhaps he has heard of an “A hole”, since he obviously is one.

The judge and the commissioner who objected are ignoramuses

I think that this man, if he were still here, would agree with my assessment.
