"Black hole" brouhaha, continued:
Official says “devil’s food cake” is racist, too!

From Michelle Malkin (http://michellemalkin.com/2008/07/10/black-hole-brouhaha-continued-official-says-devils-food-cake-is-racist-too/): Yesterday morning, I marveled at the p.c. idiocy of Dallas County (TX) commissioner John Wiley Price, who protested when his colleague Kenneth Mayfield used the term “black hole” (http://michellemalkin.com/2008/07/09/dallas-county-official-black-hole-is-racist/) to refer to lost paperwork.
The local Fox station in Dallas-Fort Worth has the video (http://www.myfoxdfw.com/myfox/pages/Home/Detail?contentId=6950042&version=2&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=VSTY&pageId=1.1.1) of the exchange.
The ignorance and sanctimony of John Wiley Price are something to behold.
Partial transcript:
Price: “Can I get an apology, from this day and time (pounding his fist on the table), you don’t sit at a table, where you have diversity, and refer to a black hole!”
Mayfield: Well, sure I do. It’s terminology. It’s a science term!
And it gets worse. Price is not only defending his black hole/white hole protest, he’s gone further and proclaimed “angel’s food cake” and “devil’s food cake” racist terms, too. Oh, and “black sheep” is out as well.
Seriously. (http://www.myfoxdfw.com/myfox/pages/Home/Detail?contentId=6953163&version=4&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=VSTY&pageId=1.1.1)
This is what the culture of victim-hood and racial hypersensitivity has wrought.
Clowns.
