AOTW 7-18-2008

Don't you just hate people who are looking to be offended and find racism everywhere? A few years back some black idiot took offense at the word niggardly, thinking, in his ignorance, gross stupidity or just looking to be offended found racism where none existed. Niggardly is an adjective that means stingy. It comes from the noun niggard which is a stingy person. Its origin:

Origin: 1325–75; ME nyggard, equiv. to nig niggard (< Scand; cf. dial. Sw nygg; akin to OE hnéaw stingy) + -ard]

It has absolutely no relation to the word nigger. Geez it comes from a Scandanavian word that was used long before nigger was even coined. But the dude was black and a white person used the word and all white people are racists, dontcha know.

About twelve years ago some idiot wrote a letter to the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation complaining about using the term black ice as it was racist. I kid you not. The guy was serious. He was such a dullard that he didn't know that the black in black ice referred to the color of the asphalt underneath it.

Now we find out that the term black hole is racist. Thanks to PJ for the link.

DALLAS — What do "black hole," "angel food cake," and "devil's food cake" have in common?

They're all racist terms, says a Dallas County, Texas, official.

Hurray for you idiots in Dallas since you have elected a booger eatin' moh-ron.

A county commissioners' meeting this week over traffic tickets turned into a tense discussion over race when one commissioner said the county's collections office was like a certain astronomical phenomenon.

"It sounds like Central Collections has become a black hole," Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, said during the Monday meeting.

black hole - a theoretical massive object, formed at the beginning of the universe or by the gravitational collapse of a star exploding as a supernova, whose gravitational field is so intense that no electromagnetic radiation can escape.

One black official demanded an apology, and Commissioner John Wiley Price, who also is black, said that type of language is unacceptable.

Make that two booger eatin' moh-rons that you folks in Dallas elected. I guess they are complaining about language that they are too freaking stupid to understand. WTF is wrong with these people?

At the meeting, Mayfield said he intended his comments to be taken in the context of the scientific meaning, and became upset that he was being misunderstood.

I would be upset as well if I had to serve on a committee with people so farking stupid that they thought black hole had anything at all to do with race.

Later, Price told MyFOXdfw.com that he believed it and other terms were racist.

"So if it's 'angel food cake,' it's white. If it's 'devil's food cake,' it's black. If you're the 'black sheep of the family,' then you gotta be bad, you know. 'White sheep,' you're okay. You know?" Price said.

As he repositioned the 2x4 sized chip on his shoulder.

Price said people should watch their words when it comes to stereotypes.

Or maybe when talking to a person with the intellect of a third grade pissant like Price they should use very simple words and speak very slowly. And I also think Price should get a clue and quit looking for racism where none exists. But he did beat out the bitch who wants to get rid of all of the Men At Work signs for this week's AOTW.

Lets just stop beating around the bush and call it a nigger hole, nigger cake and nigger ice.

Would that help clear things up for the race baiters?

hammer, stop it. the giggles come back like a bad trip. you are too funny.

I learned my lesson. I can't snigger anymore. It puts me in a black mood...oops...nigger mood. Thanks, hammer!

Good choice. The people of Dallas need to look up all of these fools teachers and slap the hell out of them and demand they're salaries be returned. The didn't educate these guys, but then there are some people that can't be educated. Why are all of them black, genetic maybe?

Posted by: Scrapiron on July 19, 2008 12:39 AM

man. John Wiley Price has been making an ass out of himself for years in these parts. I live in Collin County so I have a ringside seat. he fancies himself as quite the black messiah to our local snegros. I am so so so glad to see him get nailed nationaly on this one. I know he is only a local figure but dammmmmmnnnn he deserves this.

Denny, nice nod to Claudia. tied everything together very nicely in a way that can only be done at the GOC.

I like people like this...even on a bad day you just know you will never be so friggin stupid.

When I was younger and cooked on a regular basis, I used to make angel food cakes, but I put food coloring in them to make them more interesting. Does that make me bigoted against white folk? Or would I be prejudiced against people the color of the food coloring I put into the cake? This is too complicated. Maybe I'll just be prejudiced against anyone who isn't a relative. I'll still have three different skin colors, every possible region of the U.S. except New England, and descendants of about every country in Europe, so I guess that should be enough.

It's people with mindsets like these morons that the "negative" meaning terms were originally created for. Hence, these idiots are living up to the racist comments created just for them.
Victimhood is reaching new levels in this society and it's time the average Joe reminds these people what it really means to be a victim of something and not this made up BS.

I can't be racist. I hate half the french speaking caucasians I meet.

And name calling? Yeah, that'll save the world...

George Carlins bit about "soft language" comes to mind.

Patrick -

Yep! sniggering has gone full circle now. Thank you Denny! My own reach for fame at the GOC. You may share some of it, Patrick ;-)

I heard a local radio host make the excuse that Price misheard Mayfield and thought he said "black ho". If true, it would make more sense. Price was just defending his constituency.

Denny -

Y'know, I would still be sulking, thinking that your friends had been laughing at my British expression, if you had not taken the time, then, to explain to me the problems you talk about in this post. Thank you! I would have missed all the fun I'm having with all of you.

I still think that so-called-politically-correct-language is for the birds. When the Church decided to "feminize" the liturgy, I lost interest in attending. I told a priest, "If I have to point out to God that I'm a SHE, He doesn't have much of a vision."

Posted by: Claudia on July 19, 2008 12:20 PM

Claudia: For sure. You know what bothers me? The way the English language has changed to observe gender "equity". It screws up appositive pronouns and sometimes messes with verb agreement as well. I don't know how many times I have seen something like this come out of the school:

"If your student wants to buy a yearbook, they should visit the ASB office and reserve a copy."

NO! NO! NO! If your student wants to buy a yearbook, he should be able to do so without also buying political correctness.

Denny......

Back when Clinton was President & the transfer of missle data to China for campaign money was in the news, one story surfaced where the Clinton Administration`s new Security Chief at White Sands/Los Alamos was incensed with finding color-coded security access cards & had the system replaced with a single color security access card to eliminate racist implications.
It was suggested this was one of the reasons for the missing computer data & files as this allowed previous unauthorized personel access to sensitive files & information.
The person in question was a Democrat of a racial extraction we dare not mention & female. Did this person precipitate the missing classified materials?.....I do not know, but it illustrates the ignorance which can blind common sense when racial correctness takes precedence.

The sad fact is .....If Obama wins the Presidency you can expect our Nations security to be placed in harms way with many appointees more concerned with getting even with whitey then the effectiveness of our Nations security system for protecting our top secret information.

Unfortunately this is not an isolated phenomenon as here in Western Pennsylvania we had a new Superintendent assigned to be in charge of the Prison in Albion .
This person also a Democrat of a racial extraction we dare not mention & female was sent here with a record of trouble, lax security efforts & failure at her last assignment.

In very short time rules & regulations formerly maintained were allowed to be compromised, morale suffered & complaints were being made regarding what what going on.

Then for the first time an inmate escaped. He had hidden in a trash container & was driven out through the open gates to freedom. Months later he was found in California where he was bragging to people how he had escaped.

It was determined the following had happened..

1. The trash container was non-standard & should not have even been there.
2. The guard responsible for checking refuse containers leaving the facility did not do so.
3. A prisoner was allowed to stay on a routine work detail unsupervised in the area where the escape originated.
4. This prisoner was allowed to remain on this detail for many months even though rules required prisoner assigments to be routinely changed.
5. No guard was watching the survellience equipment.
6. There is a double gate system which required the outer gate to be closed when the inner gate was to opened for prison access for service vehicles & vice versa when they were leaving. Both Gates were left open for access & egress in violation of existing rules & regulations.
7. Guards were charged with responsibilty to check all vehicles before entry & before leaving as to what was arriving & what was leaving....this was not done.
8. Another prisoner who helped the escapee get into the bogus container & aided the escape was in a restricted area he was not supposed to be in & obviously unsupervised.
9. Following the Escape, the Superintendent was suspended pending investigation.She was ordered to report for a disciplinary hearing.Prior to that hearing she was permitted to take early retirement without prejudice ...Retirement package is $78,000 yearly estimated.

Despite her poor job performance, no official blame or punishment was applied to her, some low level guards were fired or reassigned , a new Superintendent was installed who has since toughened up security & re-estabished enforcement of rules & regulations.

I suppose many wonder what does this mean as to an Obama Presidency? Expect more racially based appointments without regard for qualification or ability.The stupidity of what happened here locally will happen again & again unless some common sense were to be applied. So far nothing Obama has said or done indicates this is likely.

I would post a comment, but I'm too busy sniggerin...

It is amazing how many people forget Mark Twain's line" "Better to be thought as a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt."

Having lived inside government for the last 20 years, I can think of MANY like our examples. I had a direct boss very similar to the one Dudley described. In two years she took an agency that had a national reputation for efficiency and made a shambles of it. We rank and file just bided our time until she paid herself enough rope and she was gone.

I'll be happy when I retire.

Fine examples of our liberal-run education system.

lol...My wife and I just got to talking about this thread and realized we have a white dog. Obviously because we are racist. Then we realized that due to white guilt and our obvious racism we need to get a black dog. We have decided to name her "Token".

As a Texas resident, I am offended that my fellow Texans elected this fucktard to public office. I think he should be working the counter at the Qwik-E-Mart. Imbeciles like John Wiley Price are an embarrassment to the State of Texas. If liberals have their way, the United States will wind up like the country did, in the movie Idiocracy.
