    Dallas County Texas Offical Considers the Word Black Hole to be Racist

    During a Dallas County commissioners' meeting, Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, described the Central Collections as like a black hole. Two of black commissioners were offended by the statement with Commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, saying the language is unacceptable.

    I think the two black officals are parniod about raceism and need to learn what a black hole is.
