A Dallas commissioner used the term “black hole” to describe a local government office that was losing documents. A black hole, of course, is a collapsed star from which no light or matter can escape. It’s a scientific term.
Well, a judge and another county commissioner, both African-American, didn’t see it that way. They immediately demanded apologies and blasted the man for using such a controversial term…
Quite honestly, I felt like I was watching something made by The Onion when I first saw this. The fact that this man is a County Commissioner is absolutely amazing to me.

A Dallas politician with a kindergarten education and a reverse racist mentality. This is not news. This is absurdity and intolerance from the far left. Black hole, black Monday, black (like the crayola color), Black and Blue, blackened (as in cooked with a specific style), black as night (a figure of speech expressing great darkness) - send this Dallas moron back to school and have him spend six years just examining the wide variety of ways we use colors in life. Plus have him study science, history and business to discover that there are a myriad of ways we use black without being racist. Since he is stuck in the racist mode, perhaps he needs a little sensitivity training also.
This guy needs a few years in tolerance training with Jesse Jackson as his fellow student. They both love to throw the racism allegation out there for attention. They both seem to be the people hung up on race and unable to just live life really improving all of life for everyone.
The Dallas voters need to remove this man from office. He is an embarrassment to reasonable and intelligent humanity.

Well, if he had attended 8th grade, he would have heard the term before…
OOPS! DAT’S RACIST!

“If it’s angel’s food cake… it’s white! But if it’s devil’s food cake it’s BLACK! If you’re the black sheep of the family, you gotta be BAD!”
A beautifully absurd twisting of logic! It would make MUCH more sense if we called the odd member of the family the “white sheep”!
His comment after that followed no logic whatsoever, twisted or not…

Arne Hansen: “The Dallas voters need to remove this man from office. He is an embarrassment to reasonable and intelligent humanity.”
Problem being that the people that vote him in are even less intelligent. He’s there for life.

And yet we can have a whole tv show featuring “black” music or “black achievers”. What a bunch of tossers.
