“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.
Partial transcript:
Price: “Can I get an apology, from this day and time (pounding his fist on the table), you don’t sit at a table, where you have diversity, and refer to a black hole!”
Mayfield: Well, sure I do. It’s terminology. It’s a science term!
And it gets worse. Price is not only defending his black hole/white hole protest, he’s gone further and proclaimed “angel’s food cake” and “devil’s food cake” racist terms, too. Oh, and “black sheep” is out as well.
This is what the culture of victimhood and racial hypersensitivity has wrought.
Clowns.

LoL!!
I just spit my African-American coffee all over my moniter!
Oh, and the Lippizans are confused since they are born black and turn white with age.
I am really sick of this Racism SH*T! Every time I get any kind of survey, application or offical form it asks for my RACE. It lists, Hispanic, Asian, Afriacan American,and WHITE.
WHERE IS THE RACISM OUTRAGE WITH THAT!!! WHITE IS A COLOR NOT A RACE! Where it the Irish-American, Italian-American, English-American, Islandic-American??? Not allowed, would that be racist as well?
People need to stop playing card and just get on with life. This is just disgusting.
Mostly Annoyed,
If you’re annoyed now, wait till you see the new census questions for race.
I heard that Chocolate is the new black…..
and whites will never lose the term cracker…..
Please don’t take all these snide remarks and attempts at humor wrong I love all cultures (especially the grub) it’s the select few dipsticks from all races that’s annoying.
There’s a poll next to the video that asks “Is the term black hole racist” 2.5% said that it was. We should all be thankful that it’s not higher.
Why doesn’t someone ask this fool to look up what a black hole is and how its gravity is so strong that anything that goes in can’t get out (including light, thus the blackness).
Then ask him to look up what a metaphor is and what a metaphor is used for.
If he still doesn’t get it, elect him chairman of Al Sharpton’s next campaign committee.
I find that hard to believe. After all, if you don’t like even one thing from another cultures food, then you’re a racist.
Bwaahahahahahahahahahahahah!
Sorry, the Devil’s Food Cake made me do it…
Blacks are not even the most repressed people in America. Ever heard of the Bureau of African Affairs? How about the Bureau of Mexican Affairs? The most repressed people in America are Americans (some of you might call them Indians) who had everything taken from them. The Bureau of Indian Affairs keep them down for decades (and still does to this day to some extent).
People like this ass_at should that GOD every day they were not born “American”.
SOMEONE please get this fool cable TV, with the science channel, or Discovery , or Nickelodeon…
How do these people make it into office?
As long as I can have my Black Forest Cake. Or is that racist too?
As a fellow partial Dutch descent I’m with you Tre, no more Dutch, from now on she can pay. /sarc
I guess that’s it for me in the morning getting my Black & White Cookie and Black Coffee from my cart guy
They run with a (D) next to their name and spout off the words “hope” and “change”.
OK Mr. Price……how about these:

John Wiley Price doesnt have to worry about Jesse Jackson wanting to cut his balls off.
Heck, we don’t even have a Constitution anymore…oh…unless it serves the politicians’ point of view at the time, of course. I listened to a nice review of “No Retreat, No Surrender”, by Tom DeLay and then listened to an interview with him, on the radio this morning. Sounds like a pretty good book to read. The problem is with goofballs like that, in Dallas, is that we allow them to get away with it. Until Americans say “enough”, these people will continue to rant and rave, turning our country into a culture of scared slaves to “pc”. Look to England, to see our future. Meanwhile, I hung up the black pants I wore yesterday..whew! I have brown pants on today…oh,oh…oops…does that mean I’m anti-hispanic?
#110 ROTFLMAO!!! So true
What Mayfield should have said was “if I were referring to YOU, Price, I would have said ‘black A-hole…”
Do you mean de-black balled?
Maybe this is all just a simple misunderstanding. Perhaps Price thought Mayfield said black ho’ instead of black hole…
Just for fun, I’d like to see Mayfield tweak Price by working niggardly into the conversation.
LOL!
Obviously, Michelle, you are trying to be nice to this guy. “Clown” is the least of what comes to mind for me in regard to his behaviors.
Why do you think that Leftists refer to all black rifles as “assault weapons”?
Racism.
It just needed a little something.
Angel Cake, Devils food cake… This coming Christmas I will not let one Fruit Cake come in to our home.
Bottom line people need to say STFU with this ridiculous crap. Mayfield should have put him in his place making a fool out of by explaining what a Bblack Hole” is in the manner you woauld speak to a 2yr old.
If one fruit cake does make into the house I’ll cut the nutz right out of it.
Ahhhh, yes. Don’t want to be insensitive toward the mentally unstable. Wait, what are the chances that they would even realize it, if you were?
Jarhead, we need to ban the word “fruit”. It’s insulting to those mentally sensitive. I propose “seed vegetables” That should be neutral. Personally, I think ole Wiley Price should be “black-balled”.
Let’s continue with the astronomy theme, unfortunately I could not find a email to send this to him directly, but if I could this is what I would send:
Commissioner:
I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. I’m sorry. I can’t go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me.
Good luck on your re-election.
But I guess he’s too stupid to have a computer too.
31Bravo,
Bravo! But what does that say about the people who elected him? HMMMM?
I’m sure this guy is a hero in the black community.
Yes Bravo this is stupid. But the effects aren’t.
University attacks student for reading this book
I always thought devils food cake was called such due to a slightly red color??????????????
Or does this mean only devil-worshipers can enjoy devils-food cake without being being racists???
This is especially funny to me because my Hispanic husband was accused by his white employee of being racist yesterday by a white guy. This guy was observed loafing for 2 hours.
On this same day my husband’s coworker, who is a white supervisor, was accused by a hispanic man of being racist, after he too was reprimanded for not working while at “work”.
By the way, my husband’s children are all “half” white. And the “racist” supervisor has “half” hispanic grandchildren! Kinda makes me dizzy to think about the utter madness of it all.
I agree with the previous posts that the constant crying of racist weakens the true meaning of the word.
Perhaps the honorable Judge Thomas can explain if that $1 million dollars went down a black-hole as well. ?
I don’t believe you… where’s my forty acres and a mule? Reparations… baby!
/sarc
well 30 you may be right Hagus is pretty disgusting.
If the MSM does a WHITEWASH on this news feed….uh…as a white man.. I guess I should be offended.
What an absolute idiot. Of Jesse Jackson proportions.
* haggis…
What color is STUPID? I think that is the group of people I really hate, if only God had designated them a color, but then he would have one less thing to look down and laugh at.
WOW! Just…wow. *sniff* *sniff* Is that a defamation suit I smell off in the distance in this case?
how bout 40 donkeys and an acre?
If it were only that easy. For years I thought the situation was getting better. Loud mouth here, loud mouth there, but getting better.
But no. First the Rodney King riots and the faked video of the beating. Then the nonsense over OJ Simpson. Now this. There really is no sense in trying.
sambo,
No deal. Although… they never specify where the forty acres should be located… are you thinking? What I thinking? Swamp land. Teehee.
Think you are upset? Just think how upset James Watson is after losing everything he has ever worked for after speaking the truth. Then to rub his nose in it folks like this dummy prove his point day after day…
It is a fine mess we have gotten ourselves into!
AN,
Don’t be discouraged. Only the nutballs (and there are a lot of them!) garner the media’s attention. They want you to feel bad – Jesse and Al have made a living off of it. Don’t give them the satisfaction.
Millions of acres of open tundra that only caribou herds run through and graze on during what little months there isn’t 15 feet of snow and ice piled on it?
Oops my bad, if they won’t let people drill there because it is a threat to the beautiful ecosystem of the poor little caribou (that tastes great made into sausage btw) what made me think it was even possibly a consideration for human living use. They might slip on some black ice.
As long as there’s 40 tree’s on it for the 40 donkeys.
Price thought that Mayfield was blaming the loss of paperwork on “a black ho’.” Since Price knew that the six hookers working in his office had long ago been prohibited from even handling the paperwork, he was justly outraged at the accusation.
Sambo is racist is it not? LOL
Very simple, If I say something that offends you. That is YOUR PROBLEM not mine.
What ever happen to sticks and stones my break my bones, but words will never hurt me?
People need to grow up and grow a pair.
Thats me…the racist Polish, Scottish, German, Native American white guy.
Wow. Does that ever cause you to suffer from an identity crisis, sambo?
Nope. Down south we have one word for it.
Okay. Being Southern myself, I’m curious to hear what your word is.
Funny stuff. But seriously, you said the word black… forty lashes for you!
Is it with a black leather whip?
With what, a limp noodle?
Wait. That could be offensive too. Never mind.
eighty lashes.
My, oh my. What can Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder be thinking about all the brouhaha these days.
“you don’t sit at a table, where you have diversity, and refer to a black hole!”
I keep hearing Inigo Montoya saying “You keep on using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means”
Every time I think I have seen the stupidest person in America I am proven wrong by episodes like this. Is there a race on to make the most imbecilic comment in America? If so, this fellow just surged ahead! This fellow needs to grow a pair — of brain cells!
Wait, can I say “race” or is that racist?
What about a black eye, black tide, black Russian, black vines licorice, or black pearls?! Are those “out of play” too?! John Wiley Price is as dumb as a bag of hammers, and the people that elected him are even dumber. Mediocre minds. EVERYWHERE!
You know the black keys are smaller than the white keys on a piano. I smell a racist conspiracy.
Sure, go ahead and laugh, but racism does permeate our society in vicious and insidious ways! Ever notice how the green olives get to be in nice glass bottles so they can see out but the black ones always come in cans????!!!!
Oh, my! I hadn’t thought about that, YS.
Disney will have to go back and remake their movie. But, what should they call it…Pirates of the Carribean: The Curse of the
BlackEbony Pearl?…and black olives are never pitted. That would leave a black hole.
Yep. It’s a conspiracy. I think it has to do with an analogy of black olives needing to be confined.
I guess the next time Mr. Mayfield says something OFF COLOR, John Wiley Price is going to beat him ’til he’s Black and Blue.
John Wiley Price…
when I was a kid, this idiot was in trouble for assault and ripping the windshield wipers off an opponents car.
Before I left for the Army, some kids got hurt when he protested at Northpark Mall at Christmas time, he tried using kids and women to shove police horses around.
After I got out of the Army, this idiot added hours everyDAMNday to my commute on Northwest Highway, he was protesting at Parkland Hospital and babywalking through traffic during both rush hours.
John Wiley Price is a major reason South Dallas is a crime ridden eyesore(STAY OUT).
Instead of doing his best to improve the lives of the community, he is down at WFAA (during the 90’s), protesting because there were no black (can I still say black?)reporters on the local news.
Dallas County (TX) commissioner John Wiley Price has now accomplished something, he has achieved his 15 seconds of infamy in the media and will likely be remembered for decades as a typical [clown] elected official beyond the Peter Principle horizon – LMAO.
I can’t stop laughing at the end of that interview, where Price proves that he just doesn’t get it.
He must think Jew is a scientific term.
Some time ago I saw a story somewhere about a white man using the word “niggle”, which the dictionary defines as “to trifle with”, “perform too meticulously”, or to “cheat”.
He was fired by his black boss. Later reinstated when the absurdity became clear, but not before some litigation took place.
Am I going to take offense when told to “honk” my horn?
You just can’t make this stuff up. Unbelievable.
Oh, and you can bet this guy believes everything bad that has ever happened to him in his entire life is the fault of the “white conspiracy” to keep the black man down. How could anyone vote for such a fool? Nevermind, the fools who voted for him beleive as he does.
In his case I have no problem eliminating the term “black sheep” from my vocabulary. The word IDIOT fits him much better.
This is one man who won’t be going on “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader” now is he….
LMAO
From the John Wiley Price page on the Dallas web site:

Real issues, huh? Real change? lol
Did you see his regular web site?

I love how he’s got Kwanzaa Fest on the home page…if that’s not racist, I’m not sure what is.
Dear John Wiley, to borrow one of my favorite movie lines: “It may be that in the sight of Heaven you are more worthless and less fit to exist than millions”.
Ya think that Jesse might want Wiley’s nuts, too?
“Blackmail” should be given the boot as well. From now on, it shall be replaced by the term “Jesse-gram”.
Hey, I think I’ll submit this to my congress
manwhore next time I have a few grand to throw away…Per almost every dictionary “Whore: A person considered as having compromised principles for personal gain.”
Might not go over as well as “Jesse-gram” but true just the same.
This is the warm-up…wait till the golden-boy obummer is leader of the pack.
That’s how bad it is for John Wiley Price. There are 176 comments here, and not one from our usual cast of idiot race-baiting trolls.
Even trolls can recognize true dyed in the wool idiots.
As a lifelong honkie, I take offense when you honk your horn.
Never mind that Disney movie, Barry. This Disney movie has now become the most racist movie in history! I’d love to see that buffoon Price get piles of them sent to his office.
John Wiley Price gives our system of government a black eye.
it’s called being a media whore.
followed by jackson and sharpton.
More no nos:
Black eyed peas
Chocolate
Brownies
Black coffee
“Is there any chance that this guy is just kinda dumb and doesn’t know what a black hole is?”
There is a guarantee of that, friend. These people are in charge of important things. Emergency response stuff, enormous budgets. Anybody wonder why these dollars might as well be burned as given over to the supervision of these morons? Here’s your answer. Two of them sitting in one room, brains making carnival sounds.
That’s how you get the Superdome during Katrina, people. Morons in charge is ok when nothing goes seriously wrong. But stupid gets people killed when the S hits the fan and the schoolbuses sit in the parking lot. Wake up, people. I thank God daily that incidents like this are helping make more Whites racially aware. Note; this is not the same thing as racist.
Very funny responses to this post! You all are so funny and clever. Thanks for the laughs.
Black Hole? Well the movie really sucked but racist? That really shows the progress that we’ve made in race relations when the activist have to resort to this to make headlines.
PS I know I’m late, hope its not a dead thread, is that racist?
I’m Welsh and Czech – I will now picket and/or sue any business that refuses to accept checks or tries to imply that I would welsh on paying.
John Wheeler, the scientist who came up with the name “black hole,” must have been a racist!
“Black box” is out too, as there is no corresponding term “white box”. And if there WAS a corresponding term, oh boy, we’d really be in trouble then. That is the logic.
Sambo has been unfairly censored out of existence. His story takes place where they have tigers, not in Africa where they don’t. Therefore he is probably NOT African, but Indian.
Anybody else old enough to remember him? He was one VERY clever dude. Got banned for being black when the early PC crowd decided that his name was demeaning to people who weren’t his people, but sounded like they might be.
Aha……nowwwww I understand that the term “black helicopter” is a RACIST codeword!!
“THEY” are taking over!!!
