    NO MATTER WHAT THE MAN WAS TRYING TO SAY ABOUT MR. PRICE, HIS CHOICE OF WORDS WAS NOT THE BEST. WAS THE GENTLEMAN TRYING TO GIVE JOHN A COMPLIMENT ON BEING SOME TYPE OF AFRICAN WARRIOR (SO HE CLAIMS), OR WAS HIS INTENTIONS WAS MEANT FOR SOMETHING ELSE? DALLAS NEED TO DO MORE RESEARCH BEFORE YOU FIRE SOMEONE FOR BEING OFFENDED OF WHAT HE THOUGHT THE WORD MEANT. LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF DALLAS, JUST IN THE PAST 2 YEARS THE DA HAS FOUGHT TO RELEASE SO MANY AFRICAN AMERICANS IN DALLAS ALONG FOR WRONG CHARGES (RACIAL PROFILING). THE GENTLEMAN THOUGHT JOHN DID NOT KNOW WHAT HE WAS SAYING. PEOPLE OF COLOR HAS BEEN FACED WITH RACISM FOR OVER 200 YEARS AND I GUESS STILL TO COME AS OF TODAY. WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO!!!! HERE'S THE DEFINITION OF THE WORD MOOLA OR MULLEY:

    JWP fired a good man when he got rid of Bruce Sherbet. Who will be next on the chopping block? He just wants to run Dallas. I certainly hope the new Mayor won't cow down to him like everyone else. Hooray for the people who are standing up to him.

    I think he should have to install new windshield wipers for a living.
    Remember that incident a few years ago when he was just a rabble rouser
    protesting at various sites such as Parkland Hospital, Kiest Park, etc.? He used to spend
    his time as a public forum speaker in the City Council chambers, just as this
    person was doing. I think it's called the first amendment. He is so 20 minutes ago.

    We that live outside the Dallas area have been laughing at JWP and the late Al Lipscomb for years. JWP is nothing more than a racist thug and anything anyone says that he doesn't agree with he will brand them as racists. But he still gets elected over and over again. JMHO.

    What would the outcome be if JWP were a white or hispanic man telling all the black people in the room to go to hell....reguradless of ANY such racist commit?

    No, JWP was not wrong. Enough is Enough! We all need to stand up against racism/bigotry!!! Prejudice is never OK.

    John Price is an embarrassment to Dallas, his name is known in surrounding states as a racist, a bully and an ignorant nabob of negativity. John's stunts in the past should have cost the City dearly in just liability alone, not to mention tarnishing the reputation of an otherwise great city. Mr. Price's crutch of everything being racist towards Black people needs to be taken away from him. Either make him a responsible member of the court or get him out, we have no room for his narrow minded antics anymore.
