Wow! John Wiley Price took that statement way out of context. It was not racial slur at all based on the article.

Well this is entertaining. I recently watched "The Viewer's Voice" on KERA and saw Diane Ragsdale for the first time in years. I was actually glad to see her!

John Wiley Price needs to loosed his braids and open a science book. He is an idiot. He may have done a lot for the some people, but he is just dumb.

Just last week on I30 in Rockwall I passed a lady on the phone driving a Tahoe w/ a complete WRAP on it for him. Like....... he is some kind of business????

Back during his protest days in front of the substation on Northwest Hwy I had the pleasure of commuting thru it. I always laughed as they would shuffle as slow as possible across the street eating and screaming. I always wanted to ask those folks if they had jobs and why they were not headed to them like the rest of us.

I will say he has calmed down from those days but this one is a little too much. Maybe he was transformed back momentarily to those days in the early 90's. One can only hope. Somebody snap/slap him to, PLEASE!

I know you guys love to down anything that's different, but if you look at the state of many things in Dallas, perhaps he's been right more often than you want to give him credit for.

I don't love to down anything that is different, but being offended by the term black hole. That's the dumbest thing I've heard a Dallas gov official say since.... well probably since about tuesday but still.

Back in those days, he was protesting out in front of Parkland one day, and my Dad drove down Harry Hines in his company truck. JWP was right in front of Dad's truck, screaming on a bullhorn about something as he shuffled across the street. Dad said he really had the urge to slam on the gas...but it was a company vehicle and he knew he'd get into a lot of trouble!!
