While wrong, wasn’t all that bad. He lectured them on what they were doing wrong, more judges should do that. THey just should do it to every color not just one. Judge has heart in the right place.

Imagine the s***storm that would have be started if it was a white judge who did this...

you know it seems racism by blacks is more worse than I thought.

thjis racism will only keep going on and getting worse when the media and others say enough is enough and use the words racism and racist when it is needed regardless of colour

It’s ironic how so many judges show so little good judgement. Too many bloviating fools in black robes out there.

Okay, so who on this forum DOESN’T want to kick the white lawyers out... ?

[Gurn]

I'd like to offer a different perspective. I'm a white lawyer in the Deep South. I see nothing at all wrong with what this judge did. I wish we had some black judges here who would go off like this now and again.

Actually, we do have a black Federal judge -- a Reagan appointee and classmate of Justice Thomas's -- who stops just short of this kind of thing all the time.

Nothing to get upset about here, folks.

Is it me, or is this dude’s head totally out of proportion with the rest of his body?

[Centurion2000]

I wonder what happened to the court reporter. The person that is responsible for putting everything into the record? Were they ordered to stop as well?

[Ditto]

I'm sure the 'utes' he was lecturing won't pay any attention to some old Uncle Tom who is acting white.

Rev Wrights across the land have done their job of completely alienating (and destroying) a generation and have been rewarded handsomely for it.

“out of the earshot of white lawyers.”
Why? If what his Honor had to say was so upstanding, why not let everyone hear it? It’s good advice (if indeed that’s what he said), that everyone can benefit from, REGARDLESS OF COLOR.

Geee,,imagine if the reverse had happened.

[TeleStraightShooter]

So this could be classified as merely "good hearted" racism?

Damn!, the pathway to hell is paved with good intentions.
