The Scientific Community is racist!
At least that seems to be the consensus in Texas.
I swear, I read this today and I honestly was looking to make sure this was not parody.
It wasn’t.
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.
Sure. Using the proper technical term for a gravitational anomaly, where gravity is so strong that nothing can escape it including light, as an analogy to an office where paperwork enters and never reappears….that’s racism?
Seriously?
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.
Good for them Obviously clear thinking people recognized that this was a snipe hunt, a foolish complaint…
Well, actually no. It was because:
TV news cameras were rolling, after all.
Sure. No sense in looking like idiots simple because you were acting like idiots.
Michelle Malkin takes this tomfoolery to its logical conclusion:
Next on the p.c. forbidden list: black box, Blackberry, blackjack, and blackout. Oh, and all black Crayola crayons, which shall henceforth be called “African-American.”
I would add that the use of the word dark will likely be next.
Honestly, why do these fools expect people to take them seriously?
Not to Dallas voters: These people represent you.
How’s that working for ya?
