We have officially gone insane. The idiots that wish to call anything, and everything, they can get their mitts on "racist" have struck again.
Remember when white Dallas Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield said it seemed that central collections “has become a black hole” because paperwork reportedly has become lost in the office? Then, Commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, interrupted him with a loud “Excuse me!” He then took a smug position by correcting his colleague, saying the office has become a “white hole.” Then, later Judge Thomas Jones, who is black, demanded an apology from Mayfield for his racially insensitive analogy.

Notice that nobody was upset with Price's suggestion that they ought to be called White Holes. Just like it is perfectly acceptable to say that white people can't jump, or for black comics to bag on white people. You see, these people believe they can be as racist as they want, but they are not racist. . . because in their minds, only white people can be racist.
Note: saying white people can't jump, or comics bagging on white people does not bother me, I used those examples to get across a point. You see, I am confident enough in myself that I don't knee jerk everytime something is said with the word "white" in it.
The ridiculous racist rubbish that seeks to paint whites with a general brush as a bunch of racists, has struck again. And guess what? The Black Holes are behind it again.
This time, Black Hole is in the context of being mentioned with the Solar System - but that doesn't stop the racist name calling! Apparently, a graduation card by Hallmark, which has two cartoon characters talking about the Solar System, and at one point one of them says "Black Holes, you are so ominous." One of the characters then adds, "All you planets, watch your back." Well, the NAACP answered the call because a bunch of folks heard "Black Whores" instead of Black Holes.
Let's see, card is about Solar System, mentions planets and stars. . . okay, let's use some common sense, here: Even if Black Holes was not pronounced clearly, it is obvious that Black Whores was not what was said.
Remembering back to school, I don't know about you, but when I was in Astronomy Class, and we were learning about Black Holes, and how their gravitational pull is so strong that even light can't escape their clutches, I didn't automatically think "black people." In fact, the word "people" in general never came across my mind. When I hear the words "black hole" together, and they are in sentences that also contain the words "planets" and "stars," I automatically assume that the black holes being discussed are the semi-theoretical kind that exists somewhere out in space.

Context, people, context!
Planets, Stars, and then the next obvious thing would be Black Holes.
But NO!
These people have to get all caught up in their paranoid heads that if it sounds "to them" like "Black Whores," well then, hell, it must be what they said. After all, they reason in their bubbling paranoid state of mind, "the world is out to get the black folks!"
Well, hell, then I guess Obama isn't post racial after all. You people (and by that I mean the leftist, liberal, Democrat voting sorry bastards out there) said that the election of a black president means that we have moved beyond race, yet racism is being used in an accusatory manner more now than I remember it ever having been during my short life of 44 years.
Yes, yes, I know that at one time more white people were racist. I suppose I ought to pay you reparations because my great, great, great, great uncle said nothing while a white drinking fountain existed, right?
So now these folks, with the help of the NAACP, is demanding that all of these "racist" hallmark cards be pulled from the shelves.
How insensitive of those greedy white people at Hallmark being so cruel that they go so far as to add Black Holes to an audio card that is talking about the Solar System!
(That was sarcasm, as is a lot of this post, to you slow minded leftists scratching your heads at this point)
There is far more tragedy going on in the world than this. Knee jerk reactions that read into frivolous crap like this, that doesn't even exist except in the minds of people with a psychotic tendency to see persecution against them in everything, doesn't even deserve the time to be considered. Yet, the NAACP is all over it.
Those of you sobbing over this piece of Hallmark racism are truly a bunch of small minded people. Worse than that, you are actually acting like you are desperate for approval and acceptance, so much so that you are willing to conjure up misrepresentations in your paranoid minds.
Hey, I have an idea! Instead of being butt-hurt over this crap, how about you act like an individual, be personally responsible enough not to get all twisted out of shape over nothing, and realize that the very existence of the NAACP is divisive, and a put down to blacks in the first place.
Think about it: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
First of all, I thought the word "Colored" was not acceptable. Secondly, do black people really need a group like the NAACP to advance blacks? Personal advancement lies within the individual, doesn't it? The NAACP essentially sends the message that blacks are unable to advance themselves, therefore they need the assistance of a bunch of old bureaucrats (many of them white).
Personally, I believe I can take care of my own advancement, thank you. I would not accept the idea that some organization believes I am too [fill in the blank] to take care of my societal advancement on my own.
Who are they to tell anyone how to advance?
Planets, Stars, and then the next obvious thing would be Black Holes.

Do they think folks are that stupid?
Advancement is an individual journey.
"We don't want to see this ever, ever again," says the woman at the end of the report.
Or else what?
Sounds like Obama, when he said, "I will not tolerate. . . "
Who put you into place to tell what the rest of the world can do?
Please. Just get over it. My God.
What's next? Will you knee jerk nanny-state'rs be trying to outlaw black liquorice next?
