Note to John Wiley Price, you work for the citizens that you told to go to Hell. You are a disrespectful and rude servant. Get therapy, you are NOT a victim, but an ignoramous.
Tuesday’s Dallas County Commissioner’s Court meeting erupted into an argument between Commissioner John Wiley Price and a citizen, ending with Price repeatedly telling several citizens to “go to hell.”
It is the job that you ran for afterall, isn’t it? Every citizen in Dallas County has a right to question your choices. Your actions speak volumes. Your actions say that you are a racist bigot. You have NO business in public service.
The jerk’s explanation of why he is an ass.
Price released a written statement about the episode in commissioners court. It contains offensive language. Here is Price’s statement, published in its entirety exactly as he sent it to us:
In the absence of a fair and balanced media outlet in Dallas, I wanted to submit a statement that offers my perspective of an “encounter” that took place at Dallas County today. Unfortunately, my comments were broadcasted without the benefit and the full context which they were made.
I have been patient and accommodating in every regard as it pertains to the recent resignation of a Dallas County employee. There are laws and business practices in place that govern the discussion of personnel matters and I will honor and respect them. I even went as far as to grant a candid one-on-one interview with the Dallas Morning News and have done countless interviews with others.
However, in open court today, after every considerate attempt to discuss the matter further, one of the speakers shot off a racial slur. “Chief Moolah” has its roots in a slang that was used against Italian immigrants and was later used by the same to defame or discredit African Americans. The speaker continued to use terms like “tribal” and his intent to make race an issue was obvious. “Nigger” is “Nigger,” spoken overtly or incognito.
My history and record will reflect that I am one whose tolerance is limited or non-existent when it comes to racial slurs. The comments were bad enough, but to have them hurled by a member of the Tea Party, known for their racial insensitivity, was more than I plan to absorb.
This is in no way an attempt to apologize to those with who felt the need to infuse race into an otherwise orderly meeting. But all of my friends, black, white and brown alike, are well aware that I am always willing to debate, but never at the expense of my race and my heritage.

Geesh, the guy sure has a sense of entitlement, doesn’t he? Private citizens who don’t get paid to work for anybody have to kind of roll with the punches when people say things that offend them. That’s the nature of heated debate. People sometimes say some nasty things at our city council meetings, just last week somebody referred to the district I live in as a bunch of ignorant inbreds. Gee, thanks dude!
I used to work as a receptionist in a public office and people walking in and screaming at you was part of the job. When you’re a public servant you work for the public and like it or not, the public is not politically correct and is not in charge of taking care of your feelings.

It is quite unfortunate that this public servant doesn’t understand who he works for. That person is neither white, yellow, or blue. It is a taxpayer that he is accountable to.
