If he truly sees white trash as similar to black hole, he has lost any lingering shred of rational thought he had.

Black hole is the name of a cosmic phenomenon
White trash is a name for poor white people

One actually is a racial term. If he can't see that I'm not sure I'd trust him to tie his own shoes let alone help run a city. He's the only city official anyone outside of Texas seems to know and I've yet to hear any of them express a positive opinion of him.

Unbelievable. It is his going from someones desciption of a process in collecting traffic ticket fines using a well known and very appropriate astrophysical term that is a cause of the problem he wants to address. He is his own worst problemI guess he has never heard of oh, black friday (a good thing) or being (in the black) a good thing. Or (white-out), a bad thing. He just likes to be in the news.

Man, so many things to point out in this letter I don't even know where to begin. I just love how he tries to veil his overt idiocy with passive aggressive lines like "little white lies" and "interpretation left to the individual beholder." I also think it's funny how he deflects from the topic at hand i.e. his own racism and ignorance to how Mayfield is the culprit and enemy. Or how he pathetically tries to justify his stance by using the Schenck v. United States (misspelled in his letter btw). Um, there's a difference between purposefully using speech to incite a riot, pandomonium, fear, etc. and using a seemingly harmless phrase that any SANE person wouldn't take offense to or think twice about. Ok, I've gone off on a rant for too long now. Suffice it to say, this letter has only further proven who really is narrow-minded.

I think he has been layng low for the most part. He is not nearly as vocal as he once was. I am not a John Wiley Price hater but he was simply wrong on this one. Even more shocking is that the judge backed him up. I can't say everything he has done in the past is wrong but he owes and apology for this one.
