Is 'black hole' really a racist term,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
I didn't and neither,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], apparently,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], did Dallas County Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield. He told colleagues this month that the traffic ticket collection office had become a black hole,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], because so much paperwork was getting lost. Two black officials took offense. 'White' is described as 'decent; honorable; auspicious; without malice.' "
She's got a point: black sheep,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], dark humor, Black Tuesday - the list goes on. But is the racial burden of word associations really so black and white? We've already learned that a proverbial white hole is worse than a black one. And there are others. Take casinos. Would you rather be holding a stack of white chips in your hand,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or a stack of black chips? The black chip is worth $100; the white chip,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], $1.
Next,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], what color clothes do most women prefer to wear - black or white? Black is thinning; white is the opposite - and often a no-no. In Karate, would you rather be a black belt or white belt?
WHAT?! You're wearing white shoes after Labor Day? You must be a freak! Indeed,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there are only three months out of the year during which it's acceptable for a woman to wear white shoes. And for a man? Only black men can pull off wearing white shoes. Meanwhile,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], black-tie affairs are the epitome of class and elegance.
In earlier times,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the blacksmith was the center of any town's economy. Today,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], note the derision in the tone with which the phrase "white-collar crime" slithers off the tongue of anyone speaking it. Not that we should whitewash the issue. After all, with fewer white-collar criminals abusing the system,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], more of us would be in the black.
Between these examples and the fact that America is more often the antidote to,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and not the root of,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the racism that people bring here with them - from places like Ukraine and Latin America - both Mrs. Cosby and the Dallas traffic collections officials should have a brighter outlook on their place in American society. Especially since white chocolate is revolting and dark chocolate rocks.
