Black Hole Is A Racist Term, So Is Angel Food Cake
THE term “black hole” is now considered racist.
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.
Price also says language such as “angel food cake” and “devil’s food cake” are also racially insensitive. There’s a video.

Steven Hawking - you racist bastard. Gravitational singularities may be black and the closest analogy to them being a hole in space time but how dare you refer to them as BLACK HOLES. We know what you were up to. You are a disgrace to science! Nobel prize Ha! We reasonable tolerant people know exactly what you were up to. Hmm that reminds me I forgot to take my medication - Ahhhhh thats better!

Perhaps we could come to a deal - both sue each other and drink the insurance companies profits

Ooer, but then I’m 5′3″, and could be seen as height challenged, and I could claim injuries for a ricked neck

I demand an apology! Describing vertigo as an illness is very offensive to us tall people.

Its all a matter of priorities, lets waste time being offended by a very accurate analogy while thousands are being oppressed and slaughtered in africa.

Ho hum, that would drive a person to drink, so I am off to the bar, which shall make me unsteady on my feet, but vertigo is an illness, so don’t mock……
