Well, then the universe is racist.


The Universe is black in the visible light. It is other colors in different spectrums.

So what you are saying is that the universe is a big homo wrapped in rainbow colors?

Seriously, the "Black Hole" analogy may be hitting to close to home for comfort for the blacks on the board. If it's like some of the government offices around here, it is staffed mostly with people that were hired because they were black. They can't be fired because they're black. They do nothing because they're black. Not much is expected of them because they're black and are a government protected species because they're black. ....and the only way to "fix" such an office is to put a competent black in charge of it. When he or she starts firing the incompetent blacks and replacing then with competent people (black or white) Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the NAACP comes down on their case for being racist. And blacks hate having a black boss that can call them on their shit. It gets down right funny how overly racist blacks are sometimes.

Oh FFS what is wrong with these people?



By November America will be puking sick of "cries of racism"

Which, considering that whichever of the two liberals gets into the Oval Orifice come January, this country is running the rapids of Shit Creek without a ****ing paddle, is the one bright spot to consoder from this whole mess.

I vow to be more racially sensative from now on.  There are no black holes or white holes, or Red holes, yellow holes or little brown holes. 

Everything/everyone from here on out are all ASSHOLES!!!!!  :loser: :loser: :loser:

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

What disturbs me most about the OP is the fact that the black councilman is obviously ignorant as to what exactly is a "black hole". Anybody with an ounce of sense either knows that term or can Google it. It's solely a scientific term. ( I know you all know that, just sayin'......)

A few years ago, in Los Angeles I think, a black man was suing the city because the vending machine schematics (I shit you not) had the terms "Master cylinder and Slave cylinder" on them.  The master cylinder was depicted in white and the slave cylinder was depicted in black.

If I remember right the city ordered all the vending machine schematics changed.  I'll have to see if I can find that story or someone else with strong googlefu.
