"Black hole” brouhaha, continued: Official says “devil’s food cake” is racist, too!

Yesterday morning, I marveled at the p.c. idiocy of Dallas County (TX) commissioner John Wiley Price, who protested when his colleague Kenneth Mayfield used the term “black hole” to refer to lost paperwork.

The local Fox station in Dallas-Fort Worth has the video of the exchange.

The ignorance and sanctimony of John Wiley Price are something to behold.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

I guess “blue balls” is political.

Dumb as rocks liberals are beyond Scrappleface satire.

How does he feel about “blackmail”, “whitewash” and “brown noser?”

[FlyVet]

Does a decent black man, who has raised his black daughter properly, want her to wear black on her wedding day? If his wife dies, does he want to wear white at her funeral?

If a white guy trying to climb the corporate ladder is "black-balled", is that racist?

Don't people have any sense any more?

[goldstategop]

Just laugh at them. I don't take liberalism very seriously. When you have people of this IQ this dumb.

It’s obvious that a black man in America can get and accomplish anything he wants. This race-baiting of whites is turning into nothing but reverse-oppression.

[goldstategop]

Does Jesse Jackson make sense? If a white man said what he said about Obama, the MSM would have a field day screaming about racism and how Da Man has it in for Obama. Black people can get away with saying racially condescending things because no one will hold them accountable for their behavior. J.J and John Wiley Price are quite a pair.

Man, that race card is getting real old. Obama’s smarter and slicker, but it's still “Blame Whitey.”

Mr. Price

[goldstategop]

Stupidity is not admirable in a human being - whatever his color or sex. It only incurs contempt from me!

[goldstategop]

It gotten to the point, that some blacks, in order to get in the media, now need to invent racism. Its a disgrace to the founders of the civil rights movement. That's what they fought against their entire lives.

That photo has been shopped right?

[goldstategop]

This is what I expect from people brought up on the hate of a Jeremiah Wright. America has it in for you and no way you're ever gonna get ahead. Not even the first black man becoming the presidential nominee of a major party will change their mindset.

[Coffee200am]

Nope.

[goldstategop]

Yeah really. I don't see how Scrappleface can improve on this episode.

[FlyVet]

I'm afraid it's because we have collectively had it so good for so long, we get this idiocy descending into trivial nonsense. Too much time on our hands. If we don't have enough real problems, our minds conjure up "problems" to deal with.

And God says, "Don't worry, I'm watching, and I know how to separate the chaff from the wheat."

This is NOT going to be pretty.

[CurlyDave]

Idiocy like this undermines the entire black movement.

While I try to treat all men as individuals, I know in my heart that blacks in positions of power, or professional positions, have a fair chance of being there through affirmative action, and not any real merit.

Essentially if I have had previous dealings with a black professional and have seen real accomplishment, I will keep on dealing with him. OTOH, I know that an unknown white professional is never going to be an affirmative action hire and feel he is likely to have stronger skills that an unknown black professional.

Everyone who thinks this is racist is entitled to that opinion, but when I am spending my hard-earned money on something, I maximize my chances for a good outcome.

[getarope]

Looks like Whoopi Goldberg with the braids taken out!

[goldstategop]

Not in Texas, they don't. I didn't think there was something in the water of a Red State that could make people think like that. But I can see now this not a malady by any means confined to Blue State America.

[dragnet2]

I watched the video from your link. How in hell do people like this obtain any kind of power or authority? It's just beyond insane.

These people having *any* kind of authority whatsoever, does not bode well for this country.

[sofaman]

I need to ask just one question ... who let him out of the house with that hair????

[goldstategop]

Liberalism is a form of mental illness. Every year, these people get nuttier and nuttier. Its a sight to behold!

[dragnet2]

I think this goes beyond liberalism. It tells me these people have a lot of unjustified pent up hate, and they'll use anything, and everything to use race as a weapon.

It's just nuts.

I watched that white guys face while this idiot is lecturing to him. You could see the anger surfacing. I would have these people to eff off and walked straight out of that meeting of morons. No way would I have subjected myself this these race pimps.

[dragnet2]

Er....I would TOLD these people to eff off and walked straight out of that meeting of morons. No way would I have subjected myself TO these race pimps.

[sheik yerbouty]

At leasty he didn’t say “black ho’” and cause a sociological meltdown.

[Dallas Texas is not in Dallas County.]

[Jedidah]

You asked, “Don’t people have any sense any more?”

Sure they do.

But not John Wiley. He’s never had any sense. Ask anyone outside of his South Dallas haunts. We’ve been watching his idiocy for decades.

[eccentric]

This guy is not ‘articulate’ enough to run for president.

[Bon mots]

Anytime a white person says the word “black”, it’s a racist comment.

[TigersEye]

The guy is a moron plain and simple.

[2ndClassCitizen]

There is no reverse about it.

Oppression is oppression and racism is racism.

It is time to put an end to this re-education program.

[RU88]

Don’t people have any sense any more?

No.

[DainBramage]

John Wiley Price is well known by the media outlets as the "community activist" that led picket lines at any station that didnt have black anchors. When somone tried to drive through slowly he broke off thier windshield wipers. One time a man walk through it and Price, who is a blackbelt, broke his ankle with a kick.

No one touches him because he has played the raced card on everything his whole life. He's like Reverend Wright with a pony tail.

[BluH2o]

Dumb as rocks liberals are beyond Scrappleface satire.

When the good Lord was dolling out brains and common sense he was niggardly when allocating same to liberals.

Ignorance does not protect the falsely accused innocent non-minority person. “Hate speech” is anything whatsoever that a victim-group-person says is hate speech, and the non-minority person has no defense and is always guilty.

[SampleMan]

It gotten to the point, that some blacks, in order to get in the media, now need to invent racism.

This isn't new. Its been going on for at least 20 years. Every sense black identity was defined as fighting for equal rights, they have required racism to justify themselves.

[Hatteras]

This is going to be one loooong hot summer culminating with many riots across the country in November.

Talk about nappy.

Not racist at all... Possibly prejudicial, but it may not be unfounded, depending on what you've experienced.

The word "racist" is thrown around far too much today, and most people who use the word simply don't know what it means, other than the effect it has when used.

Now if you were to say that black people were incapable of performing at the same level as white people, or of any other race, then THAT would be "racist."

Well, we better never discuss Obama being the first black president if he gets elected. We’d be racist if we said that.

[puroresu]

I disagree with you somewhat on this. Yes, it is insanity to turn the term “black hole” into a racial issue. But the reason these things keep coming up is that the race baiters want to flaunt their power. It's their way of saying, “We can say whatever we want, but you have to bow to our demands before you will be permitted to speak.”

This is the driving force behind the recent noose hysteria. If nooses really terrified blacks as much as they claim, there wouldn't have been so many noose hoaxes. The black hoaxers would have been too frightened to handle the noose when planting it. What this is all about is power. It's the radical black way of telling us that we can't do anything that offends them, even innocently. We can't hang a noose among the vampires and witches on Halloween. We can't hang a noose among the pistols and saddles in an Old West themed restaurant. We have to be careful when designing an apparatus which hangs equipment to make sure it doesn't resemble a noose, lest a black person see it and feel offended.

Meanwhile, of course, they can wear their gang colors and rail against “whitey” and white privilege and basically speak and behave any way they want.

These demands won't stop if we laugh at them and say they're stupid. They'll only stop when someone stands up and says, “The term ‘black hole’ isn't racist and I'll use it anytime I damn well feel like using it.”
