If you read his explanation as to why he kicked the lawyers out, it had nothing to do with race. The article said he wanted to address the defendants by themselves without embarassing them, unfortunately, that day most of the defendants were black and most of the lawyers were white. It had nothing to do with race and everything to do with him being concerned about the direction that these young men were headed. If more strong black male role models were available in these defendant’s lives, perhaps they wouldn’t be there in the first place. Don’t look for something evil in this judge’s intentions.
if it had nothing to do with race then why tell just whites to leave?
He obviously looked at race as he told a race of people to leave the room.
That is not right at all and if a white judge said to all blacks to leave a room there would be an uproar
If we are going to get past race then we must stop excluding/including others based on colour and this is what this judge did
He knew he did wrong as that’s why he said sorry afterwards
