When keeping it real goes wrong... - John Wiley Price Tells Citizens To “Go To Hell” « CBS Dallas / Fort Worth

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you....

If, Rudyard Kipling


There are two lessons in this story. One, you have to keep you cool when people are trying to bait you in a public setting. Even if the speaker was using a derogatory term to address the public official, the whole story talks about how John Wiley showed his behind. Mission Accomplished. It's a common trick done in every workplace. You bait the angry black man to going off, and then you hear “see, I told you he has an attitude problem". Many have fell victim to this trick. Going off will not solve the problem. Thankfully, the President has not fell for this BS.

The second lesson, is that men of a certain age, should not rock cornrows. This is definitely true if you are a public official in a southern town.



DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - 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.”

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.”
