ship of fools goes down the black hole..

in the name of racism, john wiley price - dallas county commissioner - pulls down his pants and exposes overwhelming ignorance. the sad thing is, he wasn't the only one. a judge - thomas jones, black - jumped in demanding an apology for the use of the term 'black hole.' you know and i know that a black hole is a phenomenon in physics and astronomy, but john wiley price and friends think it is a term meant to put down the black community. the only thing putting down the black community is the series of so-called leaders that purport to represent said community. if this isn't personally humiliating to mr. price and 'judge' jones, nothing will be.

here is the article:

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."
Other county officials quickly interceded to break it up and get the meeting
back on track. TV news cameras were rolling, after all.

this does a disservice to the black community and it demonstrates the ignorance of these elected officials.. not to mention, it makes those who put them in office look foolish.

now price is saying that the scientists who coined the term black hole are white and racist.
