"Black Hole" is a racial slam??? John Wiley Price can kiss my WHITE ASS.

A black hole is a region of space in which the gravitational field is so powerful that nothing, not even light, can escape its pull after having fallen past its event horizon. The idea of an object with gravity strong enough to prevent light from escaping was proposed in 1783 by the Reverend John Michell, an amateur British astronomer. The term black hole to describe this phenomenon dates from the mid-1960s, though its precise origins are unclear. The phrase had already entered the language years earlier as the Black Hole of Calcutta incident of 1756

Now tell this to John Wiley Price.

In a discussion among county commissioners at the Dallas County Commissioners Court last Monday, Kenneth Mayfield (white) said a county office seems to have become a "black hole" for paperwork. That prompted an "Excuse me!" from John Wiley Price (black), who declared the term racially loaded and offered "white hole" as an alternative. Justice of the Peace Thomas G. Jones (black) then joined in, demanding an apology from Mr. Mayfield.

This is beyond ridiculous. Price = a joke. Half-nuts like Price would have the entire dictionary reworked so "black" is never used in reference to anything negative.

Go ahead, Mr. Price - kiss my WHITE ASS. I should think even YOU would approve.
