Black hole...racist?!

http://cityhallblog.dallasnews.com/a...-turns-ra.html

Warning, this is a spoiler!
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.




...dear god what the hell kind of an education did he get?

Hold on there...I need to take a breather. I think I just killed my lung I laughed so hard. Oh how I love the stupid ones so, they bring such entertainment. Just that one line, "White Hole." I would feel sad for my dear country if that wasn't something common now and days.

Still, I feel I must ask that question too. For it was not only one, but two, who seemed to not recognize that word. Good job for bringing that up though, it was a good pick-me-up.

You gotta wonder, where people got their degrees? Perhaps from a Cracker- Jack box, as the main prize? This is what's running Texas? We have a lot to learn.
