A Dallas County, Texas, official is calling the terms black hole, angel food cake and devil’s food cake racist.

Monday’s county commissioners meeting about traffic tickets turned into a tense debate when Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield — who is white — said, “It sounds like central collections has become a black hole.”

Mayfield said his comments were to be taken in the scientific context. But one African-American official at the meeting demanded an apology. And commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, said the language was unacceptable, and that, “If it’s angel food cake it’s white. If it’s devil’s food cake it’s black. If you’re the black sheep of the family then you gotta be bad. White sheep you’re okay.”

Mayfield told FOX News today, “In no way will I apologize for this ridiculous hyper-sensitivity. Anyone who is offended by the term black hole needs serious psychiatric treatment.”

I weep for the future.

I swear, that Steven Hawking and Carl Sagan were such bastards.

And speaking of politically correct nonsense (via Sister Toldjah):

Don’t these self-important nitwits have anything better to do?

In a word, NO. Not everyone can be a self-important nitwit. That takes constant practice, and leaves no time for productive labors.

Oh, wait, that would be asking for ENTIRELY too much maturity from “certain representative individuals thereof” wouldn’t it?”

They’re not finished, you know. Some of these sign depict a black silhouette of a worker. What about white workers? Or, yellow, brown, and red? Shouldn’t there be racial consideration of the silhouette?

Hey, if you’re going to do it, you mightas well take it to the logical, albeit stupid conclusion.
