One very interesting thing about recent black controvery, from Rev. Wright to this Judge’s racist attitude, is that it appears to be causing liberal Whites in this country to finally get over their delusional affinity to liberal guilt over past slavery. If you look around you hard enough you will see signs of this shift. Notice how the bottom two from the publics voting on the last American Idol were both Black. Not sure you would have seen this last year. Oh, my brother’s wife and step daughter, both liberal teachers that have always voted Democrat and were Obama supporters, following the Wright fiasco have said they intend this time to vote for McCain...even though voting Republican for the first time is causing them some distress. You could have knocked me over with a feather.
“So what he sent the whites or whomever out...he was trying to make a point to the defendants, some of which have probably never had any male authority figure talk to them like that. I hope he made an impression on one or more of them.”
Criminals deserve no sympathy!! I don’t care how they were raised.
What you are saying spits in the face of many black men that had no father, but still live a life that is upstanding.
There’s no excuse for committing criminal acts.
Or did he says "white lawyers out, black lawyers can stay" (not OK)?
I think that’s what the judge was trying to tell them.
“Afro American???
I thought that was a racist term replaced by Black, replaced by african american...”
I think Afram is next in line.
Racial issues aside, it is unethical-if not illegal-for a judge to address a defendant outside the presence of his attorney. It violates, among other things, the US Constitution’s Sixth Amendment Right to Counsel.
What is a JaQuitta?
Why couldn't you be derogatory to a criminal? God forbid you should insult a mugger or burglar.
Who the heck does he think he's kidding?
It seems to me he can give each one of his customers a special individualized speech, when he gives each one a long sentence as he protects society from these predators.
Right on target, between the....well maybe I should outa just stop there.
Many of these kids don’t have MOTHERS.
At least if you define that word as a loving,nurturing caregiver.
“I think that’s what the judge was trying to tell them.”
Maybe you don’t know how these criminals think:
THEY DON’T LISTEN TO WORDS!!!!
A judge needs to do his or her duty, lock them up if they are guilty, nothing else!
banana?
He didn't kick the lawyers out because they were white, he did it because they were lawyers. Anywhere but in a court of law I would have no problem with that. But throwing a defendant's legal representation out of court is a clear violation of their rights (barring contempt citations which would be a special case).
He's not a racist. He's just a really bad judge.
However in this charged post IR-Reverent Wright episode anything with race is very very sentitive, and most white folks I know dont want to have much to do with black churches anymore.
It is unfortunately utterly useless. These are hopeless slaves on the democrat plantation. Their lives have been destroyed by democrat party teachers unions, public housing projects, and welfare.
It was probably the first time any of them had someone attempt to "parent" them.....their real parents should see jail time for "parental negligence".
The problem of bad parents, bad schools and bad leadership is compounding the problems for blacks....and America.
Obama and Rev. Wright are no solution - they feed on, and stoke, the misguided discontent of young black people.
You can Quitta makin' fun o' her name!
