How dare you make reference to a movie with such an inflammatory and oppressive title? Don't you know how much pain that causes?

Plus, we all know that Disney later re-released an enlightened version of the film:

I hadn't heard that one. But I remember several years ago there was a move by the usual suspects to get computer makers to rename the "slave drive".

Several years ago I worked for a company that sold halogen light. The ones that had the transformer attached were called Masters and the ones that plugged into them were called slaves.

A year later the company recalled all of them from our shelves and repackaged them.

You guessed it, Independent and dependent.

Judge Jones is a Black ‘hole!

Scary that someone who makes decisions like that doesn’t even know what a black hole is!

Nice add on. Racist words aside, people like this DESERVE to be ridiculed.

Ridiculed, yes.  But, definitely not aped.

I got in trouble for saying exactly the same thing.
I work for a government agency and we were required
to send a lot of paperwork to our National Headquarters
in Washington D.C. for their review....
Except we would never hear from it again.
I started to refer to their office as “the black hole.”
But it turns out almost all the employees in that
office were black females.
Uh Oh

“Anyone not smart enough to know what a black hole is not smart enough to be a lawyer or a judge.”

Anyone that stupid shouldn’t even be allowed to dress himself!

Seriously, how could anyone that dense get a law degree?

Did he buy it on the black market?

Oops... never mind!

Here's a puff piece by a local TV station from some time ago designed to make this moroon seem respectable.

KXAS Jane McGary interviews John Wiley Price

Keep in mind that this guy is literally charged with managing the affairs of the city of Dallas by virtue of his elected position. Frightening.

Try to watch the whole thing for context. (If you have a strong stomach)

On of my favorite workplace stories was when some ladies
got together and published a cookbook.

One of the recipes was for the “N-—cookie” (a reference to the Neiman Marcus cookie).

All the black employees raised a ruckus.

Management made everyone tear that page out of their cookbooks.

The idiot should be forced to resign for intentionally using a racial slur by coming back with “white hole.”

Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, said it seemed that central collections "has become a black hole" Commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, interrupted him with a loud "Excuse me!" ... 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.

That's it, the human race is DOOMED! The STOO-PID people have taken over. Even the Judges are imbeciles. With jackasses like these, the fields of Astronomy and Astrophysics is fini, kaput. We might as well pull Stephen Hawking's plug.

Sheesh, no more Black Holes or Super Black Holes, wonderful. Next up for the verboten list of words will prolly be Red Giants. As that will offend both Indians and Tall People. And Big Bang has to go too. That's offensive to the obese. Can't have that now can we.

But dang it I wanna play the offended game too. So the next time I hear White Dwarf used on the Science Channel I'm calling my lawyer! Not that I'm not a dwarf but I am white so I figure I'll stick up for my white brothers who are 'vertically challenged'. And then we'll go after the String Theory and ban that. That is surely offensive to skinny people.

We must end this Hate Speech in Science!! And we can't be niggardly about it.

Instead of “black hole”, he should used the PC term “African-American hole”.
