A special meeting about Dallas County traffic tickets turned tense and bizarre this afternoon.
County commissioners were discussing problems with the central collections office that is used to process traffic ticket payments and handle other paperwork normally done by the JP Courts.
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.
Mayfield shot back that it was a figure of speech and a science term. A black hole, according to Webster's, is perhaps "the invisible remains of a collapsed star, with an intense gravitational field from which neither light nor matter can escape."
Other county officials quickly interceded to break it up and get the meeting back on track. TV news cameras were rolling, after all.

A black hole simply a large amount of matter compressed to the point where its density and gravity pulls everything including light into it. It's called black because there is no way to perceive it, for no light bounces off its surface.
but no mayn dis mufuggin science n space shiet be RAYCIS.

"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."
How could anybody with a even modicum of intelligence consider this comment racist?

I think adding crackers is like adding the N word though.................. probably did go too far like all these people down the line who want to mix in racial terms with "Black Hole", like that twat Jessevprince down below, but I see no problem with ThePoisonBiscuits comment, it is quite humorous.

Well the term itself certainly isn't racist, but shit all you have to do is skim the comment section to remember racism is alive and well. Great job all you brilliant white suburban middle class crackers. Oh I'm sorry that was probably going too far.
