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."

didn’t we do this?
and it was well discussed on talk radio.
Welcome to the “Politicians too dumb to hold a nrmal job” Club...

wonder if this is the same Judge Jones?
These people are complete idiots!
It could be that Wiley Price is trying to divert attention from the question of where all the money in central collections has gone.

Should have apoliogized that the term Black hole will never be used when referring to anything related to Dallas City council. Instead replace Balck with ass, the symbol of the Democrap party and the IQ level of John Wylie Price. And they wonder why nothing gets accomplished in Dallas.

This is too funny. You just can’t make this stuff up.
I suggest we all get together and show up at the courthouse with signs:
“Ban the word blackballed!”
“Ban the phrase black hole!”
“Ban the phrase black sheep!”
“Make the scientists stop saying dark matter!”
“No more White-Out!”
“Boycott Black & Decker!”
“Stop calling it a black eye!”
“No more blackmail!”

It’s now referred to as “Hole Of Color”.
“Black hole!”
“WHITE HOLE”! ! !
Now, now, children, if you keep saying things like that in public, people will think you are both “a$$ holes.
Just this past Thursday I was paying a parking ticket at that very location and from the time I walked into the building until I walked out their was not a white face to be seen, except for the people there to fork over cash. We are talking entrance to exit. There was NOTHING but incompetent, fat, slow, eubonic speaking affirmative-action city employees, all of whom had work areas that looked like drunken college freshmen dorm rooms.
Commissioner Kenneth Mayfields comparison of the central collections office to a black-hole is razor sharp accurate. John Wiley Price and Judge Thomas Jones can K.M.W.A.
These people are so freakin’ stupid it hurts. Finding racism in everything. Next they’ll be screaming when nutritionists say eating Cocoa Puffs is bad for you. Dumba**es.
And what’s the BFD anyway? I thought they were all “African Americans” or “persons of color”. I thought “black” was so.....”passe”.
What about the exclusive restaurant “White Castle”?
I guess my charitable organization is racist for requiring black tie at our annual fundraiser.
And there should be no more black-outs.....from now on, these are limited resources of lighting.
“Price needs to learn the difference between a “black hole” and a “black a-hole”...the former is a figure of speech; the latter describes jerks like him.”
