Dallas County officials spar over 'black hole' comment

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.

Black people do it to themselves. Complaining about what is obviously not a racial slur creates and grows racism as a whole or should I say hole. What a dumb jigga boo.

Good thing you're around to represent all white people.

[Shaolin-Style]

The black guys are the racists here.

The white guy used a scientific comparison, the black guys were stupid and unable to interpret the usage properly and one went so far as to using a condescending comeback insulting white people.

Fire the racist black guy, possibly the other as well.

[sUPER sOAKER]

hey shoogbear, as one of the only known/positively ID'd blacks on this site, whats your take? or are you not going to say anything until it can be spun positive for blacks and bad for all others?

It could have been cleared up if one of the white folk explained to that guy the difference between "Black Hole" (a scientific phenomenon) and "Black A-Hole". (him)

Questions:

How come there's cherry Coke and vanilla Coke, but no chocolate Coke, huh?

How come there's "white chocolate" but no "black vanilla?"

How come when a woman gets married, she wears a white dress and not a black one?

How come in Lord of the Rings, all the good guys were white, and all the Orcs were black?

How come there's such a thing as "whitewash," but no "blackwash?"

How come Soundgarden called their song "Fell on Black Days," and not "Fell on White Days" ?

How come a guy who works in a foundry is called a "blacksmith," but a rich guy in an office is "white collar?"

My brother works at a hospital in Dallas. He has a vivid memory of a patient coming in, wearing a T-shirt that said, "F*** YOU I'M FROM OAK CLIFF"

That about sums up the mindset.

hey, well at least it's called a black and white movie/picture/tv instead of a white and black movie/picture/tv.

[monosylab1k]

There's just as many whites out there that are just as bad.....and most of them have higher political positions than county commisioner in Dallas.

[Oh, Gee!!]

"Should we be talkin' about this?"

[monosylab1k]

The best part now for me is right after discussing how racist black holes & angel food cake is, he then tries to imply that those two terms are the same as referring to bartering as "Jewing you down" or whatever.

So again, it's all the Jews fault.

Doesn't it take a lot of schooling to become a judge?
Call him "Master" instead of "Your Honor" and see what happens! :p:
