July 10, 200818 yr Dallas commissioner under fire for using the term "black hole". I refuse to be shocked anymore. http://blogs.chron.com/sciguy/archives/2008/07/is_black_hole_a.html
July 10, 200818 yr I certainly hope someone does a thorough job of explaining to these guys the meaning of "black hole" and that they are suitably embarassed.
July 10, 200818 yr Once again, I am surprised. I never knew that "Black Hole" was a racially insensitive term. I thought it meant "A bottomless pit". Like when you look down a large hole in the ground, you see black.

Like when you look down a large hole in the ground, you see black. I never heard of this either. I thought it meant bottomless pit where things get lost easily.

July 11, 200818 yr I think people are just looking for things to be referred to as racist. Soon someone will say they have bad luck because a black cat walked in front of them and that will be turned as racist.

July 11, 200818 yr I guess I'm ignorant. Because the phrase he used means something totally different to me then what it means to some of the people who have posted in this thread.

I think every post in this thread so far has the same view on the issue... The ignorance I am speaking of is on the part of the commissioner and judge who actually took that as a racist comment.
