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

[manc]

yes imagine the outcry from black groups and sharpton etc , imagine the media, and imagine the liberals

But wait we won’t hear anything from them as blacks being racist is acceptable in the democratic party, in the mddia and by the likes of sharpton

see it would have been white mans fault for him saying this

If this was a white judge it would be wall-to-wall coverage until he/she was hounded out of office.

Impossible to imagine. Seriously. I practice in Fulton County from time to time (limited white collar defense) and when you appear with a white defendant as your client, you typically find that on a felony criminal calendar call (with say, 110 defendants on the docket), the courtroom is packed with nearly all black defendants and there will be perhaps one other white defendant other than my client (among the 60-80 defendants who will be present.) The staff of the court is predominantly black, the bailiffs are predominantly black, many of the judges are black, so you have, fairly commonly, a courtroom with maybe 3-5 white faces and a sea of black and Hispanic faces among the defendants. If a Martian were to land in the courtroom he would have to assume it was a system for processing black males.

Arrington has to be one of the black professional class in Atlanta that is tired of seeing this phenomena. I'm not keen on this - but if he wanted to talk to the brothas in a Come to Jesus mode without whites, no harm, no foul. It may not be efficacious, but I can hardly fault him.
