Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, considers the word Black Hole to be racist. The word was used by Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, to describe Central Collection. Mayfield was using the astronomical meaning of a black hole.

Personally I think Commissioner Price and the other black Commissioner who was offended are complete idiots.

The fact that your source is Fox News kinda invalidates everything.
Well, No matter how much invalidation,

I think this is just stupid. To the point where all the funny cartoon characters who only use .000000000001% of thier brain power sound like the new world genius association.

"Black hole" - Not racist.
want to know why?
Because:

The hole sucking gases and such into it is BLACK. Not black the slang term for african race, I mean BLACK the color.

what are we suppose to call it?
The green hole?
would that be a little less racist?
Oh wait- all those Caterpie would find it racist T_T

I think all these people are starting to push a little overboard on the whole "No racism" issue.

whether or not this story is true.

XD This is by far the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. It sounds to me like the guy was losing the argument and decided he would try to find something racist to pin on the other guy. Only he could come up with anything good, so.......EPIC FAIL!

When stuff like this happens, it just proves more and more that Racial Activists are just bored out of their minds, and they just want to stir up crap like this for publicity.

Later guys, I'm off to lobby in Washington to have White Holes declared a racist statement against white people.

Stop trying to act mature, we all know you laughed at Virtual Chatot's post.

Anyways, moving on, I think think that people push racism way too far these days. Why can't the world think about something that hasn't mostly been resolved, like poverty or world hunger?

World Hunger could be solved if people actually started to spend more money donating to humanitarian efforts rather than trivial things like Saving the Polar Bears and giving their entire Billion dollar fortune to their dog. -_-;

The bold text is black, is that racist? o:

All in all, people just need to learn which things are actually true and things that they should keep in their noggins.
It's almost like people want to be laughed at nowadays.

So black holes are racist now? That sounds almost like something from a late-night comedy show, like SNL. Seriously, what next, black being the default font color being racist to white people? I guess that means we should start typing in white font. >.>

....That's retarded.

I have nothing else to say regarding this matter. Just...wow...
I've left PC.

Why? I'm tired of all the people here who think they're cooler than they actually are, I'm tired of the way certain people get away with things, just because they're friends with the staff here, I'm tired of all the raging teen-angst contained within these forums I'm tired of the way no one knows how to take a joke anymore, I'm tired of how I've been treated by the people I've thought to be my "friends" here, and I'm tired of all the unwanted drama PC has caused in my life over the past several months.

Plus, Pokemon just sucks anyways.

Black hole... black board... black cat... black ball... how else can you describe these things exactly without using the word black? In context like this, it refers to absolutley NOTHING to do with race. Honestly, I'm so confused about racial issues I've ended up saying stupid things in worry of looking a racist in front of the wrong people. And it's all down to stuff like this. It shouldnt be this way though.

This very thing confuses me. They'll be banning the word black next. And even that will be taken as racist. What is the world coming to?

That's just the way of the world these days. Some people are just determined to get offended by something.

I remember hearing a story about a woman wanting the term, "ho ho ho" to be banned because it offended her. So it's not just about ridiculous racial offences.

But still, I'd love to know what the black people of 50+ years ago think of stories like this. As they were the victims of real racism.

ahh so thats where that santa claus joke came from... :P

indeed, grandparents of our families from those generations lived through such times as well, but you ask them about it and you could argue what they have to say is disillisional. but i didnt live though it, so i guess they are who they are for the reason of experiencing it.

just think, we will be telling our grandkids about these things.

What the hell, black people aren't even black, no one is black.
How can the term black be offensive when nobody on Earth is actually black.

Whats the deal with racism anyway, we cant say the 'N word' but anyone can call us anything without any negative consequences.

Like Billy Connoly says, the only people who you can safely make fun of are white, heterosexual males. Everyone else gets offended at every little thing.

Thank you... The news on Fox appeals to the same audience their reality TV appeals to. 

This reminds me of a report I had to do last year... it seems some lady wanted to press hate crime charges against someone who called her a water buffalo.

"Black-Hole"
"Water Buffalo"
It doesn't matter. People are going to use any excuse they can to make someone else look bad, make themselves look good, or perhaps both at the same time. It's going to continue, sadly, and we'll all just have to learn to ignore people who like to act ignorant.

Well, this is just pure funniness. Black holes were used to describe central collection, what does a black hole do? It sucks things, including light, to it's center, so it's essencially collecting into it's center.

The term being offensive is going too far, It's not what people want to do to eachother, it's what they actually think. However, people need to be in thier right mind more - their left mind is getting too crowded.
