The top federal judge in Los Angeles is stepping down from that position after he apologized for saying that the court’s top administrative official, who is a (b)lack woman, was “street-smart.”
US District Judge Cormac J. Carney said he will no longer serve as chief district judge just less than a month after he began a four-year term, the Los Angeles Times reported. He will remain a federal judge for the Central District of California, which is the nation’s largest federal court jurisdiction. Carney was appointed to the lifetime post in 2003 by then-President George W. Bush.
Carney emailed court staff and fellow judges and publicly apologized to Kiry K. Gray, who in 2015 became the first (b)lack woman appointed to the position of executive and clerk of court for the Central District of California. […]
On June 9, Carney, a former Orange County Superior Court judge, was invited to speak at a webinar hosted by the Federal Bar Association. During the webinar, Carney spoke about his plans for the court as chief judge as well as the recent protests and riots that erupted nationwide in the wake of the May 25 police-involved death of George Floyd. “It’s been sad, quite frankly, seeing our courthouses vandalized with graffiti,” Carney said.

If he was a good judge, I just rack this up to “who is john galt”.
I’m in a position where I can retire at any time. If he was in that position, he may have just decided it’s time to tune out and let the “people” have what they want.
Street Smart is not an insult
People who are this hyper-sensitive are in need of psychiatric help - the rest of us are under no obligation to humor their mental conditions.
It’s getting ridiculous, now you can’t even praise a black person without risking losing your job and be branded with the scarlet “R” for racist. In a few years you will only be allowed to kneel as a black person walks by.
I always considered the term “street smart” a compliment. It means you did not get ALL of your learning or wisdom from a book written by an educated idiot. It means you can use some common sense acquired through experience.
Blacks can not be considered “street smart”...that goes against political correctness. Only white people can be considered and called “street smart”. Black people can be “street STUPID” or “street ignorant”.
I wish they would give us honkies a daily list of words we can’t say anymore.
[[Street Smart is not an insult]]
Exactly- apparently the left would have preferred ‘street ignorant’?

street smarts
Intelligence gained outside of school. Just as useful as book smarts, and in many cases more so. It can be divided into 4 categories.
1.Getting Along With Others- Knowing which questions to ask and not asking too many,being polite and friendly, but also being assertive.
2.Common Sense- Knowing who you can trust, which areas in town are good and which are bad, etc.
3.Self-defense-Knowing how to fight and fend off an attacker, especially if you are small.
4.BS-detection-Knowing when people are trying to fuck you over, reading their intentions, and knowing that most corporate advertisements are complete bullshit.
The judge didn’t mention race. The first one to mention race is the racist.
I have half my money with online work and half helping my friend run his Italian restaurants in Brooklyn and Queens.
I never have to take PC courses and the online work is consistently different companies and people so I can avoid all this garbage.
I DID work in investment banks for 20 years and I stopped in 2010 after an injury knocked me out of circulation for a few years.
I can’t IMAGINE how bad it is now at those places.
I won’t lie. I would be taking the classes they told me to and not using the words they didn’t want used etc.
What can one do when one needs a roof and food?
I truly think today just saying “i think this is out of hand but i’ll do it” can get you fired
Good thing he didn’t say “niggardly”, or “call a spade a spade”.....he’d be crucified
Martin Luther King Boulebvard Smart?
it is but anything you say about a black person has to be reviewed because they take offense at everything
appointed by bush..so yeah he had to go
You can if you're Biden or Clinton or anyone else who is a RUI (Revolution's Useful Idiot, pronounced "rue-ee"). Remember, the issue is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution.
He meant to say she was an Asphalt Smart Tar Baby I’m sure.
He probably gave her an OK Sign with his fingers when he said it.
“… we have just a fabulous clerk of the court in Kiry Gray. She’s so street-smart and really knows her job.”
That is a racial insult? We are really doomed. The new totally PC way to say it would be “we have a clerk Kiry Gray.”
