Once upon a time, Dallas County Commissioner for District 3 Mr. John Wiley Price, in a fit of uneducated anger, became upset during a televised meeting about Dallas County traffic tickets because another man, Dallas County Commissioner for District 4 Mr. Kenneth Mayfield, used the term "black hole" as a figure of speech.

Later, he was interviewed on the meeting and insinuates that presumably scientists named black holes what they did because they were raised in a racist culture.

I decided to call him and inform him that he was incorrect, but he wasn't in his office as it was a saturday, so I left a message stating that black referred to the absence of visible colors, so black holes being devoid of light made them literally black.

Also, I am eh.
