[mgilmer]

Apparently to some idiots in Dallas. What is this world coming to when we elect such nuts to public office. This country is doomed.

I am so tired of people jumping on the offensive - about EVERYTHING! Good Lord people - lighten up!

 

[Todd&Copper]

Well, that chick Omagrossa on the first Apprentice said the expression the "pot calling the kettle black" was racist. What a dumb bunny!

 

[ozarkmom]

OMG! Here I was expecting some sort of racist remark about blacks and a man uses a scientific term that most rational people are familiar with and understand and two total morons want to play the race card?

NEWSFLASH AMERICANS -- THE U.S. CONSTITUTION PROVIDES NO RIGHT NOT TO BE OFFENDED ---

This is absolutely unbelievable -- no -- actually - it is quite believable.

 

[binny]

wow that is some serious ignorance!

 

[Magic Mom]

What a complete and total moron. I'm guessing a guest appearance on "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" isn't in his future.

and he's our LOON OF THE DAY!!!!

 

[BillSears]

This just in...

The star of Little People, Big World is offended by the term White Dwarf.

And just what do you mean by "lighten" up?

 

[sdarwkcabemanmy]

Oh geeze. It's just John Wiley Price, one of our local Person of Color (I think is the correct pc term now) drama llamas. Pay him no mind.

 

[EmmersIsTheMommy]

omg. AHAHAHAHAHHAHA

 

[DevilDuckie]

Did y'all miss the congressman a few years back who had to resign over his use of the word "nigardly" which has NOTHING to do with color?

Watch out -- the llamas are offended.

Not to me.... I don't mind Black (no hole please ) or African American. The first time I heard that term was on the DIS which I don't think is the last word on PC...

I think this is a valid news issue. People need to see his true colors when it comes to race, because he's in a city government.

Actually it was an employee in the DC who was forced to resign his position after some ignorant people on the city council took exception to the word. He was later rehired quietly after the Mayor and the members of the council were shown to be idiots. For what it is worth:
