"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.

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.

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.

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

Talk about nappy.

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.

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."

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.

Ask the constituent of Maxine Waters and Shelia Jackson-Lee.

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

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.”

We can’t use the terms “spook, spooky, picnic or nickel” because they are offensive to Blacks. The terms “All-American” and “Red Blooded American” are offensive to Hispanics and other immigrants. The nicknames “Chief, Hoss or Buck” are offensive to Native Americans.

I’m pretty sure, though that we can still call white people “cracker” or “honky” without fear.

[Mr. Jeeves]

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

The problem is that white liberals in positions of power don't laugh out loud when black people say dumb things, but rather accord their foolish words inordinate amounts of respect as if that is some sort of remedy for past discrimination.

JWP will probably brings some crackers in for snacks today.

As he slaps em down on the table: “Don’t nobody says nutin!”

Anyway, hopefully whitey will bring in some Krispy Kreme black cake donuts holes to counterattack.

It’s getting crazy out there!

[Skooz]

The blithering imbecility of political correctness knows no bounds.

[billygoatgruff]

Better yet, everyone can order up some Krispy Kreme black cake donut holes and send them over to the Dallas City Council this morning.

Sort of like the nuts sent to CBS by the Jericho fans.

I’d have told him that if he didn’t like the term to take it up with science and shut the fnck up! Its not worth the time to even talk to any politicans who are on the left and black. They look for racism in anything that you do. Its just easier nowadays to just admit to being a racist because they are going to label you as one anyways!
