Just to clarify, I live just outside of Dallas County…
July 9th, 2008 | by jeremy |Evidently a Dallas County special meeting got a little intense this week talking about the incompetence of the traffic court:
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.
Yeah, John Wiley Price is an actual County Commissioner. Yes, we hear about him every couple weeks and, as a collective city, slap our heads in disbelief. I have no more words…
