Rainbow Hole

In order to be all things to all people, let’s just forget color altogether.

Wait a second, you can’t do that.  Black is the absence of all color.

Darn, so much for that.  Okay, then we’ll go with all colors.

Can’t do that, either.  White is the presence of all color.

Okay, I got one on you then.  Let’s diffuse all colors through the prism.  That way, we see each color for what it is on its own: distinct, beautiful, independent.  Forget about the frequencies working together to give us beautiful light.  That’s racist.  See, when things or people work together, they give up their individuality.  We just can’t do that; we must let everyone be themselves.

It’s then in the best interest for us to include color in everything we discuss.  How do we do that without making it look racist?  That’s easy: replace “black” and “white” with “rainbow”.

So, when John Wiley Price, Dallas Commissioner, got offended by the term “black hole“, maybe his counterpart, Kenneth Mayfield, should have called it a “rainbow hole”.

Let me try this in a language John Wiley Price may understand:

Yo, homey.  You ain’t nuthin.  You ain’t keepin’ it real.  Yu’z dissin the crew.  Black hole, dude! It’s a science term.  Know what I’m sayin’?

John Wiley Price, you are the Idiot of the Week.  You’re so dumb, you don’t deserve the prize.

Then there’s Jessie Jackson…too dumb to know a mic was on?  Yeah, right.  How dare Obama declare black – I mean “rainbow” – adults responsible for their actions.  It flies totally in the face of everything Jackson has build for himsel…er, for the repressed people of color.  Jessie, you would also get a lifetime Idiot achievement award if I offered it.

Then there are the folks freaking out teenagers and adults over wealth redistribution – I mean, global warming.

You’re all dumb and manipulative.  None of you deserve the award.  I don’t care if you’re rainbow, rainbow, or rainbow.   Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
