Einstein was a racist!

Yet another elected official has been found guilty of racial hatred by violating the Beirich Standard (BS), which says that if a minority condemns something as racist, then it's racist -- no matter how brain-damaged the logic might be. Here's the latest example of BS in action:

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.

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

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.

But all white people desperately claim they were "misunderstood" when they're caught oppressing minorities. I bet within a week Commissioner Mayfield issues a whimpering apology, complete with his sincere regret that he used "inappropriate language" in his remarks, that he's all in favor of civil rights, affirmative action, and reparations, and has signed up for a tolerance reeducation camp.

Fortunately, there is an alternative term for "black holes," as the article concludes:

The world-renowned physicist Stephen Hawking might have a solution to the problem over perception of the astronomical term. He refers to the phenomenon as "a singularity."

I can't wait to see "singularity" condemned as a "code word" for a racist insult, like "welfare recipient" and "Neocon."
