Either they really just wanted to stir up racial tensions, or they would absolutely fail on "Are you smarter than a 5th grader." How do you get to be an elected official without a 5th grade education? Any 5th grader can tell you what a black hole is.

oh my lord.

Some of the comments were just as jaw dropping.

The guy who used it as an excuse to go on a anti-republican rant

and the guy trying to compare such terms as blackout, blackball, etc as part of the same thing and trying to claim that those terms came about during colonial america days.

How about Black Angus?

Commissioner John Wiley Price is the new winner of the coveted "Most ridiculous person of the year" award.
Anyone know where I can send it?

Black sheep!

I gotta stop reading this stuff, it just keeps getting worse and worse.

Head bang on table, wall, any hard surface will do.

"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." "

Ooooh. Well, now see... it actually was made racist (very very loose use of the words "made racist) by changing it to white hole. If he just would have said "Excuse me ...about wha?" The commisioner would have had to explain himself and when it was explained it was a space thing they all could have had a good laugh.

The tires on my car are black and bald, does that count as a racial and follicly challenged comments?

Ok-- black in this case refers to absence of light, not a light-brown to dark-brown skin color versus a ... (what in the world would you say white people are, anyway? peach? soda-cracker? i give up)

Please excuse my misuse of grammar and lack of capitalization here. If I for one ever see a black hole, I'm jumping in to see what is on the other side.

Crap, I didn't realize my intro astrophysics class was really racism in disguise - we spend many lectures discussing black holes and dark matter.

Dark matter!! There's another one!! :P

Are you kidding me?

You forgot Dark Energy. Like some kinda Texas VooDoo.

White blood cells don't actually fight infection, they go to tractor pulls and eat Frito-Lays.

The start of my novel goes like this (now):

"Threatening (color=neutral) clouds breached the hot hazy horizon, foretelling the disaster about to befall the (surname not suggesting color, race, ethnicity, religion or sexual preference) family. It's not enough that they'd been (color=neutral)listed by the McCarthyites. Now they
were being (color=neutral)mailed by the cruelest of all swindlers and (color=neutral)ballers, one Mr. Phineas Q. Whistlecone."

Whaddaya think?

Crapspackle! This is so stupid, that judge should have his power removed, obviously he's too stupid to use it correctly. Black hole is a racist term, my ass!

The White Hole:

The Black Hole:

The @ss Hole:

kinda reminds me of this:

If for some reason they'd called it a "n****r hole", he'd have a point, but this is ridiculous.

Oh man, that made me laugh tea through my nose and now my nose is burning, but it's okay because I'm laughing still.

One time I accidently slipped into a black hole... Or wait... No, that was a brown hole. Things were slippery, and it wasn't far from the pink hole... It was an honest mistake. I said I was sorry.
