The Black Hole Sucks In Two Dopes From Dallas

Here's areal gem that shows what happens when ignorant people are given a voice. Let me preface this by pointing out that a black hole by definition according to Answers.com is:

1. An area of space-time with a gravitational field so intense that its escape velocity is equal to or exceeds the speed of light.
2. A great void; an abyss: The government created a bureaucratic black hole that swallows up individual initiative.

Now, that being stated let's look at this thanks to the Dallas Morning News.

A special meeting about Dallas County traffic tickets allowed some morons to showcase their ignorance and stupidity.

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."

Let's see, a commissioner and a judge do not know what a black hole is, but think it is some kind of racial put down. For heaven's sake in 1979 Disney made a movie called The Black Hole.

How did these two cretins get their jobs and why are they being allowed to keep them?
