Really. You're really that sensitive.

I was listening to the radio today and I heard a story about a man who was obviously not educated take offense to a man using the term "black hole." It goes like this:

Kenneth Mayfield was speaking in a meeting about an office in Dallas, Texas that lost traffic tickets like a Black Hole. One of Mayfield's colleagues sprang up from his chair and yelled out "I think you mean a White Hole." This colleague was african-american. The judge, Thomas Jones, Demanded an apology from Mayfield for insensitive verbal abuse.

Really. We have really reached a point in society where you can't name a part of science or nature because of its relation to a Black or White person. I thought we passed the point where skin color and race had slowed to a crawl. I know there are still people out there that are participating in white supremacist groups (I didn't capitalize it, watchoo wanna do?) or spouting off racial slur, but every time I say something like "That black t-shirt is a little ugly" Some random person doesn't scream "DUUUEAAHHHHHHAHHH I THINK YOU MEAN WHITE SHIRT YOU R A C I S T!!!" Give it some thought, like Mr. Fluffalumpagus pictured to the right.
