Would (not) hate to see something bad happen to the judge.
😧 Glad the judge took the mental development of a three-year old into account when issuing his sentence. 🙄
Kentucky the home of crazy white hillbillies who vote for the likes of China Mitch, Randy Paul, and Thommie Masshole.
Kentucky is ALSO the home of CRAZIER black folk.
The blue moon that shines on Kentucky appears to be as bad as it is blue.
Just take a walk through Vets Admministration hospitals.
If you didn't know better you would think that blacks are 60% of the US population and whites are only 13%.
BS story. Whats the name of the Judge. What district? What city? Pics of the perps? Three year old victim is racist? Total fake news.
….or just take a look at TV commercials nowdays.
No it is real but it is over 10 year old story. It took all of three seconds to google it which is something you could have done.
Older black gentleman at the gym yesterday had on this T-Shirt:
“All Lives Matter Really”.
I shook his hand.
Grok:
True. The X post accurately highlights a real 2015 case involving Kentucky Circuit Judge Olu Stevens (a Black judge) in Jefferson County.
What the post's image actually shows (and what happened)
Two Black men (Gregory Wallace and Marquis McAfee) broke into a white family's home in Louisville in March 2013. They held the family—including their 3-year-old daughter—at gunpoint during an armed robbery. Wallace later pleaded guilty.
At his February 4, 2015 sentencing:The mother submitted a victim-impact statement describing how the trauma left her daughter in “constant fear of black men.” The child would cling to her parents around Black men, became scared of African-American friends at school, and it affected family relationships.
Judge Stevens openly expressed being “deeply offended” by the statement in open court. He read parts of it aloud, confirmed the victims were white, and criticized the parents for “fostering” racist views in their daughter.
He sentenced Wallace to 5 years of probation (despite prosecutors objecting and requesting prison time; Wallace faced up to 20 years). Stevens emphasized Wallace's lack of prior violent history and potential for redemption.
Stevens later doubled down on Facebook (in a now-deleted post):
“Do 3-year-olds form such generalized, stereotyped and racist opinions of others? I think not… Perhaps the mother had attributed her own views to her child as a manner of sanitizing them.”This is exactly what the meme in the post describes. Multiple mainstream outlets covered it contemporaneously (Courier-Journal, USA Today, WLKY, ABA Journal, etc.).

Aftermath (for context)The Kentucky Judicial Conduct Commission later charged Stevens with misconduct over these comments (plus separate incidents involving prosecutors). He was suspended without pay for 90 days in 2016 and eventually left the bench (did not seek reelection).

The case became a flashpoint for debates about judicial bias, victim rights, and race in the justice system.
The one I used was “All Black Lives Matter”, and not just the ones who serve the liberal agenda. They never talk about black-on-black crime.
See post 10.
Even if you tried.
—> Nailed it! “Glad the judge took the mental development of a three-year old into account when issuing his sentence. 🙄”
While not entirely false, this story from 11 years old seems designed for click bait.
Context of the Story
In February 2015, Jefferson Circuit Court Judge Olu Stevens sentenced Gregory Wallace, a man who had participated in an armed home invasion, to probation. During the sentencing hearing, the judge addressed a victim impact statement submitted by the mother of a three-year-old girl who had been present during the robbery. The statement noted that the young girl had become afraid of Black men following the incident, stating, “Whenever we are running errands, if we come across a black male, she holds me tight and begs me to leave”.[rightwingnews]
Judge’s Comments
Judge Stevens did not call the child “racist,” nor did he issue a light sentence solely because of the victim’s statements. Instead, he expressed concerns about the parents’ role in fostering or reinforcing these fears in their child. During the proceedings, he stated, “I am deeply offended that they would be victimized by an individual and express some kind of fear of all black men,” and later added, “My exception is more with her parents and their accepting that kind of mentality and fostering those type of stereotypes”.[rightwingnews]
The narrative in the image—which claims the judge gave a light sentence specifically because he labeled the toddler a racist—mischaracterizes the judge’s stated motivation regarding the parents’ influence and his decision to grant probation.
Yeah. Theres more to this story. I’ll dig it out.
