Lordy, they can't hire any white lawyers. Why that would be non-racist.

The defense of child molesters and rapists around the country are now being provided in the Cochran name.

Well! Guess things haven't changed THAT much.

and White people are occupying leadership positions in his law firm that did not exist before he died March 30, 2005.

LOL. This is a Seinfeld episode right?

While I think I understand what you are saying could you explain your statement in a little more detail?

Longtime attorneys and staffers who help build the Cochran legacy are gone and have not been replaced, and White people are occupying leadership positions in his law firm that did not exist before he died March 30, 2005.

Horrors, the firm is no longer a chocolate firm. Just as with Nagin, if that is not racism what is? We must stop this PC BS and all deal with life together.

There goes the neighborhood, how sick and disgusting. Maybe they can burn them out.

If you need it explained, you are resisting too much.

Cochran always had white partners, but they had heretofore been "silent" ones. They are now stepping forward to seize control.

You are exactly right. The Cochran Law Firm drafted the inititiave to change the three strikes legislation. If you read to the final pages, you learn that child molestation is classified as a non-violent felony and thus should not count as a strike. Give me a break!

Nonetheless, Wright's employment ruffled the black feathers of some Cochran employees who maintain that she was hired without the position being open to other, preferably African-American, applicants.

Incredible.
Take this whole story and reverse the races. Can you imagine all the jumping up and down and hollering that we would see?

That's good to know. I briefly worked in the same building as one of his satellite offices and he would come around once in a while. Bright purple suit and hat, seven or eight bodyguards. Looked just like - well, it looked like a certain musical interlude in the most recent Academy Awards show. This guy was not aiming high for his client base.

The company is probably doomed anyway, who wants Jimmie Olson when Superman ain't around?

Thanks for the information. I have tried to know as little about Cochran as possible and was just relying on this article.

Neither can racism on FreeRepublic. Thanks for your contribution!

Johnnie Cochran was great in front of a jury of his peers. But I helped on the other side of an appeal once, where he was representing the plaintiffs. The legal writing was just terrible.

Do you think the racism at Free Republic is any worse than the racism in this article?
