    Default Racial Hyper-sensativity - "Black Hole" now on the list

    wow....just wow.

    http://blogs.chron.com/sciguy/archiv...ck_hole_a.html

    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.
    Judge Thomas Jones is an idiot.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    If he's gonna be accused of such silly shit he should have called it a nigger hole. That way there is no confusion. This is the kind of stuff that creates racism.

    I don't call em a nigger because of their color, I do it because of their attitude.
    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    Did the guy actually apologize? I would've walked out or been charged with contempt of court!

    In astrophysics, a white hole is the theoretical time reversal of a black hole. While a black hole acts as a vacuum, sucking up any matter that crosses the event horizon, a white hole acts as a source that ejects matter from its event horizon.

    The judge doesnt have authority to order an apology, even if there was a real reason to apologize.
    If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin

    You might try the following email


    jprice@dallascounty.org

    here's what I sent him

    Commissioner Price,

    I would like to inform you that I take offense to your statement about your "central collections" being a "white hole. You have to be one of the most ignorant racist people in politics. You rank at the top with the likes of Jesse Helms.

    Your colleague was referring to a "black hole" which is a spacial phenomenon yet YOU took offense to his PROPER use of the term and attempted to turn it into a racial statement, however YOU are the only one who made this a racial issue by your utterance of, "white hole".

    For another black gentleman to demand that Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield should apologize for his PROPER use of the term is nothing more than bullying on YOUR and HIS part.

    I will leave you with your own comments..


    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

    This reminds me of The Apprentice a few years ago, when a black contestant cried racism because another contestant used the phrase "The pot calling the kettle black". Luckily, all that happened in that case was that she ended up looking like an utter fool.

    That's a good email letter.

    I just typed up something similar AND printed out the Amazon.com wishlist and faxed it to him with a cover letter making it look like an important confidential fax. And by 'look' I mean using wording and a format that LOOKS official, even if you don't actually read what the cover page says.

    Heh heh. Dumbass.
