This is about as absurd and looney as it gets.

" There is always one guy in a bar spoiling for a fight and will take any movement or glance, any sound, any word as his excuse at bellicosity. In the race mongering biz the equivalent would be people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, both men who take immediate umbrage at the un-umbragable, just so that they can use the excuse to extort money out of businesses or get their mugs splashed across the papers and TV. In Dallas County the loudmouth looking for a fight is Commissioner John Wiley Price who foolishly decided that the scientific term "black hole" was a racial epithet and verbally attacked another commissioner for using it.

Here is the whole, stupid, story:

During a special meeting about Dallas County traffic tickets the discussion turned to the central collections office that is tasked with processing ticket payments and other paperwork. This discussion prompted Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, a white man, to say that central collections had become a "black hole" of paperwork as often times paperwork simply disappears there.

And now the stupidity:

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.


For his part, Mayfield told them to lump it because not only is the term "black hole" a perfectly common idiom for what he meant, it is a scientific term for a collapsed star into which all matter is sucked, unable to escape. And nowhere, anywhere has anyone ever used the term "black hole" as a racial epithet. Any fourth grader or sci fi TV fan understands what a black hole is and none of them would peg the term to race. "



And now for a few random branches from the Tree:

In the aftermath of this tragic verbal mishap, John Wiley Price has begun a crusade to further eliminate racism where it does not exist; by targeting the following verbal terms and words:


Black Star: A traditionally popular song by the Grateful Dead, with heavy pressure from Mr. Price; will be changed to " White Star "


Black Hole Sun: Another popular song from Soundgarden will be changed to .... " Whitey Dawg Hole Sun "


Black Ops: Will be changed to ..... " Shit Whitey Be Doin' Behind Our Backs


Black: The popular song by Pearl Jam will be changed to...." Why You Cryin' Over Dat Stupid Bitch for "


Black (the actual color): Will be changed to ..... " Not Exactly White "


The Black Sea: Will be changed to ...... " I Ain't Never Seen No Sea As Dark As That One "


Black As Night (the term itself): Will be changed to.... " You Better Not Be Talkin' 'Bout The Color Of My Skin When You Compare The Darkness Of Night "


Jack Black (the actor and performer): Will change his name to ......" That Crazy White Dude Who Was Nacho In Nacho Libre "



More changes will be coming shortly and we'll list them here for you, because...well......we have nothing better to do.

    Wow. I thought this was an Onion story until I clicked the link. I guess you do not need an education to be on the Dallas city council.

  • Holes are universally accepted as dark....namely because they have bottoms where no light emanates from....

    white holes....

    hmm....maybe some counties would benefit from (initially aggressive) selective breeding assistance programs after all..
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.
