I couldn’t let this one go by without making a small comment. Apparently what I learned in science class in elementary school was not the correct term for an area in space that has such strong force that nothing can escape, including light. So, I guess we can no longer use the terms ‘black hole’, ‘angel food cake’ or ‘devil’s food cake’ without being sensitive to those around us. This guy shouldn’t come to the ‘black belt’ of Alabama because he couldn’t stay sane, even though that term doesn’t have anything to do with skin color. But he would never take the time to find that out. You can read the article yourself and form an opinion. And look at his picture, he looks just like an Al Sharpton wanna-be.

OH MY GOSH!! I hate this, I really do. Everything that comes out of a white persons mouth is racist now even something like a black hole. How about idiot? Is idiot a racist term?
Did you hear about the woman in ATL graffitiing a Men at Work sign b/c it was sexist. Now all the signs have to be road work ahead or some crap like that.
Yep Nathan, in fact I was going to blog about that tomorrow.
I LOVE the swing! So sweet, I told Rozlynn I think of the John Lennon song “grow old along with me” when I see porch swings. How is the “courting” (sp?) going? I think she might like you…
All I have to say is guess what people…a black hole is well…black. And Devil’s food cake is delicious and rich tasting, so why be offended by that? But the true origin of why it is called Devil’s food cake is as follows:
“The term “deviled” in reference to particularly rich or heavily spiced foods dates back several centuries. In the case of spicy foods, the association with the devil is related to the heat of hell, while rich foods are considered highly tempting and decadent, like the devil himself. Deviled eggs are another example of a devil-related food, and at one time many more spiced foods were called “deviled.”
The term black sheep began, not because black things are bad, but because the wool of the black sheep was deemed useless, as it could not be died like the white wool could.
So all I have to say to Price (while I am on my soap box) is stop over simplifying English terminology in order to play victim to society. There are much weightier matters in this world that need addressing before we start to dissect the English language.
Hey, what about the term “old wives’ tale”? I’m a wife, so should I be offended every time this is said? Is that person implying that I, as a wife, am superstitious and tell exaggerated or untrue stories?
Oh brother!
What a freakin piece of crap. I only got one thing for Mr. Price: Lemme axe ya this, lemme axe ya this….can ya kick My Ass!?
Good one Mark. I bet he’d be speechless to that question.
Decency and decorum will prevent me from commenting on this to any length, but we can rationalize that space is by and large devoid of light…ergo it’s black and these “holes” are in space…hence a black hole. Now let’s use some common sense before I have to shove rusty objects up the black holes of morons.
