On Thursday July 10th another shot was fired across the bow for free expression. In Dallas a meeting of the county commissioners turned to a discussion on collections to accusations of racism when a white commissioner used the term black hole to describe the central collections office.  Judge Thomas Jones who is black demanded an apology and later commissioner Wiley Price who is also black said that type of language was unacceptable.

For those public officials who do not understand what a black hole is I have provided a few definition:

An extremely dense celestial object whose gravitational field is so strong that not even light can escape from its vicinity. Black holes are believed to form in the aftermath of a supernova with the collapse of the star's core. See also event horizon, See more at star.

So now in America, if you are white, you have to stop using any common terms that have any mention of color in them least you are accused of racism.
