Remember the Congressional Black Caucus jerk who said the Tea Party wanted to see blacks “hanging from a tree?” Well, CNN caught up with Rep. Andre Carson to ask him about it. He stands by every word, but didn’t intend to “hurt” any group or person. This guy is a piece of crap. You cannot get more vile than his accusation and the media is stone cold silent. Typical.

America’s favorite Poverty Pimp, Al Sharpton, has a new racial grievance. Even after listening to this twice, I’m not really sure how to explain exactly what Sharpton wants.

All I know is that when Al Sharpton is behind a microphone and you hear the words, “We are owed our percentage of the spoils” — it can’t be good.

Sharpton’s argument boils down to this. Whatever the percentage of blacks are in a given community is the amount of “spoils” the government should hand over.

So if blacks make up 80% of the population of Detroit, then 80% of the so-called “spoils” should go to blacks. Which means 80% of government contracts should go to black businesses.

This actually happened in Dallas on July 7th:

A special meeting about Dallas County traffic tickets turned tense and bizarre this afternoon.

County commissioners were discussing problems with the central collections office that is used to process traffic ticket payments and handle other paperwork normally done by the JP Courts.

Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, said it seemed that central collections “has become a black hole” because paperwork reportedly has become lost in the office.

Commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, interrupted him with a loud “Excuse me!” He then corrected his colleague, saying the office has become a “white hole.”

That prompted Judge Thomas Jones, who is black, to demand an apology from Mayfield for his racially insensitive analogy.

Mayfield shot back that it was a figure of speech and a science term. A black hole, according to Webster’s, is perhaps “the invisible remains of a collapsed star, with an intense gravitational field from which neither light nor matter can escape.”

Why is it that black people seem to be perpetually offended lately? I think Mayfield should have gotten up and punched John Wiley Price in the face for acting like a total jackass. It’s completely and utterly absurd to believe using the term “black hole” had any racial connotations to it at all. To suggest otherwise is to make yourself look like a moron and a race hustler.

Price corrected him by saying the office had become a “white hole?” WTF is a white hole? No such thing exists! We are fast running out of an “acceptable” vocabulary in this country if this is really how we’re going to act.

I definitely think “black hole” was a more than appropriate word to use, but given the circumstances I think “asshole” would have been a perfectly good substitute.
