Black Dallas Commissioner, John Wiley Price, Tells White Citizens at Meeting to "Go to Hell"

Black Dallas Commissioner John Wiley Price gets into altercation with Jeff Turner and other citizens and says all who are white "go to hell."

Dallas Commissioner John Wiley Price should be ashamed of himself for telling a few citizens to "go to hell" after an altercation erupted during a County Commissioner's Court meeting Tuesday. Of course, The Drudge Report picked up the story under the caption, "black commissioner tells white people to go to hell.""

The exchange started during the public speaking portion of the meeting, which happens after the commissioners have gone through their weekly agenda.
Six citizens addressed the court. All of them talked about the recent controversial departure of county Elections Administrator Bruce Sherbet.  Sherbet, who was the Elections Administrator for 24 years, said he felt Price and Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins forced him out.

The last public speaker at Tuesday’s meeting, Jeff Turner, began by stating that he would refer to “a certain member of the court” — Price — as “the Chief Mulllah of Dallas County.Court rules state that public speakers may not address individual commissioners by name. As Turner spoke, he continued to call Price “Chief Mulllah.” Price interrupted Turner several times, yelling at him, “don’t call me Chief Mulllah” and “call me by my name.” Source: CBS DFW

No matter how you view this dust-up, the Price had no right to speak to the citizens in such a manner, no matter how angry they made him. I'm pretty sure had Mr. Price been told that by a white man or woman, all hell would have broken loose and we would have a mess on our hands. Not only was he wrong for saying that, but he was very, very disrespectful.
