    What's even better is reading some of the comments in the site's forums about it. Some are actually defending them! haha, tools.

    Well I read in the paper that the two that initially started it are quite at odds with each other. Price is saying he say it as a "teachable moment" about how the word black is usually used in a negative fashion. I agree with that in principle, it's a fact that as far as color symbolism goes black usually is used for evil, but come on, BLACK HOLE? It was a science term used to describe the fact that this office is apparently losing paper work that no one can find. An apt comparison. It's just an inexcusable thing to poke at and in my opinion that kind of makes Price look like more of a racist than anything. Either that or he can just come out and say he didn't know what the word meant.

    The judge on the other hand, wow. He has absolutely no excuses for his ignorance.

    Oh god, rolls eyes.

    Some people will pull the racial card on anything, and what they're not catching onto is, that makes THEM the racist when they do that crap. Coming from their racial conscious
