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

Black HO????? I did not know Don “Nappy” Imus was there
It was a very bad movie that Disney rushed out to capitalize on the Star Wars mania.
Maybe if it had been a better one these simpletons might have heard of it.
“It’s too bad ignorance isn’t painful”
Ignorance Is painfull... to everyone but the Ignoramus displaying it!
You way with word is masterful
Maybe Kenneth Mayfield listens to Imus...
Blacks are walking around with a chip on their shoulder and hate in their heart. Most whites are just either ignorant and oblivious to the deep deep hate that black America feels for white America. Dont expect the liberal media to have a balanced news cast - they know that if they expose the true hate from Blacks and the LaRaza types they will be shut down by the rich leftist whites who run the news.
In a certain sense Price is correct. There are “white holes” although this is not an example of one.
A “White Hole” is where stuff comes out of (like money, productivity, ideas.....)
A “Black Hole” is that into which it all disappears, sort of like when Congress is in session.
The story says there's video. The hunt is on.
its no wonder this country is going down the crapper.
No doubt an Obama supporter, LOL.
At this rate, we will soon not be able to say or use: Black hole, Black Sea, Black & Blue, Black & White, Blackball, Blackmail, Yeungling Black & Tan, any school song referring to the color black, Black-eyed Susans, .....
Just wait until the Indians say we can’t use or say red; there goes Red Sea, red line, any school song referring to the color red, red eye, ....
Silence is golden.
Are you a printer (pressman) by any chance?

well, there you go.......
So many targets ... so little time.
Oak Cliff might be one..
This is so embarrassing. I’m not black, so I imagine it must be really embarrassing for blacks. But just as an American, knowing we have bred and hatched people this dumb...it makes me cringe.
Can’t say “black” anymore. Sort of reminds me of that other word that you can’t say that means “stingy.”
Leave it to the Dallas electorate to pick a ninny like that for county commissioner.
The terms “black hole” and “white hole” have well defined and understood meanings in astrophysics. The term “black hole” is also commonly accepted in popular culture to mean anything into which objects disappear, never to be seen again. It takes remarkable ignorance or willful misinterpretation to claim that this term has anything to do with human skin color.
