John, I got an F on my astronomy test because I wouldn't write "black hole." I told my professor it was racist; he called me an idiot. I blame you, John.

[308stoner]

HA!...And they say the "N" word is dead?..Shit, It looks as if it is alive and well..RIGHT HERE!

[jimpurdie]

id run his ass over.

[Jeff bidle]

I live in Dallas and this man is an idiot. Everytime he opens his mouth something stupid comes out. Most people here in Dallas think hes a joke, he should be embarassed to walk down the street, but hes not that smart. Do a google search of the man and you'll read some of the ridiculous things hes said and did. He does nothing but constantly play the race card for his own gain - hes Dallas' own version of Al Sharpton.

While Price's reaction to "black hole" was clearly off base, I appreciated this video for showing another side of him. I believe he has a great point that we could use more male teachers. I have two teenage boys and it is very clear to me that they show greater interest and enthusiasm in general around their male role models ( for them it's their dad and grandpa) . Also, God knows we sure have room for more enthusiasm and energetic activity within our classrooms.

Lol, interesting way of looking at it.

Black holes are awesome. They are the strongest things in the universe. They crush everything!

[raunchbear]

What the hell are you talking about?

[Spanxxx]

what a waste of space.. the guy is severely narrow-minded and spreads ignorance and hate.. the guy isn't doing any good..

..he's depressing to listen to.. he makes me feel sad that people like him are still around.. he keeps racism around.. why can't try to get rid of it?

[MithridateOmbud]

Let me take a wild guess why he was in school in the summer months. And yet he still doesn't have an ounce of brain.

[obbzerver]

The more I find out about this idiot, the worse he looks. He couldn't be any more full of shit. So is it merely that black boys are "perceived" as being aggressive troublemakers when they've got a gun in the face of the convenience store clerk?

He wants "equal educational opportunities" but doesn't think black students should be expected to behave in a manner that doesn't interrupt the eductional environment.

[Dan Alvared]

South = dirty dirty.

[elvisatemydonuts]

John Wiley Price = Racist idiot.

Black hole? No. Asshole? Yup.
