In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with the actions of this judge.
Each race has its own culture. These cultures are all diverse and differ from each other in varying aspects. I know from experience that black american culture is group oriented. When this judge wanted to speak to his fellow black americans it was nothing more than a one on one. That is simply their culture. If a white judge did this then, yes, it would have been strange because white culture is more fragmented and, really, just doesn't function in the same way. It all boils down to difference in social interaction among different cultures. You can't confuse this with racism.
