Commissioner John Wiley Price certainly is one. I lived in Dallas for years and years, this guy's picture in in the dictionary to highlight the meaning of the word, fool.

Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

My co-worker lived in Dallas for a while, remembers Price, and had the same opinion.

I liked this comment:

Price needs to learn the difference between a "black hole" and a "black a-hole"...the former is a figure of speech; the latter describes jerks like him.

Yes, that is just plain dumb.

Do you have any degree of maturity at all?

:wtf: Does the colour black exist at all in the US? As in "I am wearing a black dress." What would they say instead?

[killabyte]

the politically correct term would be "I am wearing a free-african-american dress" also a side note u cannot make a reference to the countries Niger or Nigeria in the US

You really are an uninformed jackass. Why don't you just STFU.

Yes. And the word "untouchable" is not muttered only behind closed doors, too.

I see his point, a bit. Saying the office had become a hole would be derogatory about the office. 'Hole' itself is a bad thing to say about a place of residence or work. If the said hole was alleged to have become a hole under black management, it could be called a 'black hole'.

So should I get upset when a brown-skinned weatherman talks about a dangerous amount of snowfall as creating "whiteout" conditions? The idiot had no point. The phrase black hole was coined by John Wheeler in the '60's to describe the effect of a Schwarzschild singularity. Period. End of story. Game, Set, and Match.

This story brings back memories of Dallas in the late 80s/early 90s... Diane Ragsdale screaming "Racist!" at citizens during city council meetings, John Wiley Price tearing wind shield wippers off and clotheslining hapless joggers during protests... I'm sure I've forgotten a few other incidents.
