Holy shit. Blacks whining that "Black Hole" is a racially insensitive term

Is "black hole" a racially insensitive term?

Apparently to some. From the City Hall Blog at the Dallas Morning News:

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.

Judge Jones should be very glad that the central collections office has not become a White hole, a theoretical object that ejects matter from beyond its event horizon, rather than sucking it in. It wouldn't be fun for Dallas to find itself so near a quasar.

What a fucking joke.

How about we just ban the word 'black' altogether ?

Nigg**s can still call each other nigg**s though. Since they don't seem to have a problem with that...

Lycanthrope 07-10-2008 10:20 AM

Yet, I have never heard anyone complain when people say "in the black" with regards to book-keeping.

JamesK 07-10-2008 10:24 AM

Hahah what a load of shit. There is something really wrong with a part of the black community in USA. Here in Europe we never deal with that kind of sensitive shit.

Tom_PM 07-10-2008 10:25 AM

Holy fucking christ.

People really scare me sometimes.

You mean like if a white 5 year old child doesn't like spicy food it means they're racist and need counseling. Yeah, you've got issues with race over there too.

That's fantastic.

I actually live in the DFW area, so trust me when I say that this isn't even a black and white issue, it's an insane politician issue. Dallas politics is so weird and twisted and bizarre no one around here can even keep up with it, and every week there's someone getting their nuts in a twist over essentially nothing. Not that that doesn't happen everywhere, but the politicians of Dallas have taken the art of being offended to a new level.

Your going to start to see more and more of this in the VERY near future.

Gee, and you wonder why some minorities like blacks are sensitive about such things???

U.S. physicians apologize to black doctors

The American Medical Association, the largest physicians' group in the United States, apologized to black doctors on Thursday for a history of racial discrimination.

The AMA said it will work to increase the ranks of minority physicians and their participation in the association.

The apology arose from the work of an independent panel of experts commissioned in 2005 to study the history of what the AMA called "the racial divide in organized medicine."

This reminds me of when someone in California whined that IDE drives in computers were called 'master' and 'slave'.

If some people would just give up the whole lifestyle of victimhood and get on with their lives, I wouldn't be so inclined to call them worthless.
