New Racial Slur: Black Hole
Lest you think we are making a joke we’re tellin’ you upfront this story is true.
Some Dallas County, Texas politicians were having a public debate about the frequency of lost documents in a particular county department, specifically , the traffic court. One politico who is white, said it seemed that central collections “has become a black hole” because paperwork reportedly has become lost in the office.
Another political type, who is black, said, in sincerity and seriousness, as he interrupted him with a loud “Excuse me!” corrected his colleague, saying the office has become a “white hole.”
Go here to read how ridiculous the situation became. It ranks with the time the government worker in D.C. had to apologize for using the word niggardly and in the end lost his good government job because of the idiocy of those in charge.
BTW for those who do not know the word niggardly as defined in the Random House Unabridged Dictionary is “to be reluctant to give or spend; stingy; miserly. ” It has nothing to do with a pejorative description of a race of people.
And the phrase “black hole”, as every fifth grader knows is a term used in astronomy to
define the collapse of a star. It’s probably derived from the Black Hole of Calcutta where in
a small prison cell in Fort William, Calcutta, Indians are said to have imprisoned 146 Europeans, only 23 of whom were alive the following morning
We say invest some of that graft money in a good dictionary and use it often. We believe if Americans become familiar with their native tongue they will become more effective speakers and we hope they will spend less time inventing new ways to be really stupid.
