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.

A commissioner and a supposedly highly educated judge who are unfamiliar with dinner table science terms?
Obamative Action at work.
Not to mention the knife-edged, hair-trigger “racism” reaction.
How would the whitey’s here like to have their livlihood in the hands of this ignorant, racist judge clown?

One day ‘White House’ might be deemed racially insensitive and not just a color?

Who gives a damn?
All the PC crap is being ignored more and more. At least from what I see among normal people.

Obviously the only politically correct thing to do is rename black holes to

But those morons are wielding governmental power over the lives of others. Ah, the joys of diversity.

John Wiley Price is a firebrand from wayback. He knows very well what a “black hole” is but chooses to make an incident for reasons best known to himself.

Definitely. Time to set up a kangaroo court like they have in Canada to investigate and punish speech deemed offensive. Totalitarianism baby. Silence critics by using whatever means necessary.
To: TexasCajun
One day White House might be deemed racially insensitive and not just a color? You know that will be a major theme if Obama becomes president. I expect many comedians to use that as a punch line, and civil rights activists to use it as a slogan (as in, "The White House has finally become the Black House").

It is not a racial slur. This just proves that ANYTHING that a non-minority says or does, or doesn’t say or do can be twisted into something racist.
