I do know, and no it didn't mean that...6:37pm. I do know, and no it didn't mean that Non-Africans fared worse than Africans. Billy Bob or Juan could have thought they were not going to get a fair shot as soon as they saw a Black judge instead of a Caucasian or Hispanic Judge (respectively). Or perhaps they saw a Black Judge and said to themselves "Finally someone who will listen to me and not treat me like just another defendant, because he knows how screwed up the justice system is." <br /><br />I do know that many Black people, unfortunately the majority of people walking into the building as defendants, know that they don't get a fair shot. For many of them the crap that brought them into the building wasn't fair or just, rather just-us. Do you think Black females walking into the building think they will get a fair shot knowing that NOT A SINGLE BLACK FEMALE IS ON THE CIRCUIT BENCH, and only two Black females are on the County Bench. Wait, did anyone notice that THERE ARE NO BLACK CIRCUIT JUDGES IN THE REG ANYMORE? Seraphin is the only dark skinned Judge IN THE BUILDING, and he is the only Haitian Judge in the County! And EVERYONE knows they don't stand a chance in his courtroom, even the attorneys.<br /><br />So while you feel comforted in the ruling, and there will be no "snappy" "ornate African tribal brocade" on a Judges robe, some are sad they won't see a blue or purple robe, the band still plays on the sinking Titanic.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-38876902954238059252015-11-06T08:27:09.202-05:002015-11-06T08:27:09.202-05:00To 6:37:00 PM

It was quite snappy. Did that mean that Africans were going to do better in that courtroom that non-Africans? I don't know, but Billy Bob and Juan might think twice that they were not getting a fair shot.
