Black Hole Threatens Dallas

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.

I just love the look on his face in literally the final second of this video.

He knows exactly how stupid he made himself look publicly and knows exactly how futile his attempts to mitigate it are.

The final look of exasperation on the face of the white guy who made the original offending statement in the first video is probably more hilarious (at about 0:51-0:53).

It's as if he's thinking: "I spent all this time working my way up to County Commissioner only to be confronted by idiots like this?!"

Probably thinks the Scottish Black Watch are a bunch of white skinheads who spy on black folks.

I'm sure the scientist who gave the black hole its name was racially motivated. :mad:

A black hole is technically something where material goes in
A while hole is technically something where material comes out
Nothin to do with race

A quasar may be a white hole
