More on racist loonies
After my previous post I just couldn’t resist this little bit of lunacy which shows it’s not just the brits that need to get a grip.
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.
Of course, under the same logic, as a poster over at GA points out must we now change the name of the game ‘blackjack’ is it politically incorrect for me to order a ‘black coffee’, and I’m guessing we can only pink/yellow/orangemail someone and not blackmail them?

Steven Hawking would be proud.
Wait, no, what’s the opposite of that?
I’m not sure which had my jaw dropping faster - racist toddlers, or black holes.
Crap. What next!? I was at Target one time and I wanted to see a watch close up. There were two watches of the same brand, different colors. “Which one would you like me to bring out?”, the clerk asks. “The one with the black face.” If that happened now, I would be pegged as being racially insensitive, I guess.
