Also, I in no way whatsoever made any comment in my post concerning slavery. I read you're posts, though it seems I shouldn't expect the same courtesy in return. Slavery has absolutely nothing to do with this thread, or any issue related to this thread.
All that aside... I'll say it again, its a culture difference, not racism.

Ok so going by the sheer cultural aspect of it, it would be ok for whites to do it?
OOOPs nope, you state, it can't happen because....

it would have been strange because white culture is more fragmented and, really, just doesn't function in the same way

What about the Jewish community? They are a very tight community, in many way the same as the black community? Would that be ok?
What about 50 years ago with an Italian judge addressing some guys from "little Italy".
Or 30 years ago a Cleveland Polish judge addressing a group from "Slavic Village"?
What about a Hispanic judge addressing some Mexicans?
What about a female judge addressing only females?
Or a Male judge addressing only males?
Is it only the "black" culture" that is allowed to do this?
And again a courthouse and judge should NO NOT NEVER be used in this way. It doesn't matter what the culture/ethnicity/religion/sex/whatever.... because in the courtrooms of America and by the judges IN those rooms (regardless of whether in session or not as long as they are wearing that robe, serving that duty and/or in that room), ALL MEN/WOMEN SHOULD BE SEEN SOLELY AS EQUALS.
