I'd like to say I'm surprised by reactions to this but I'm not.
Based on the replies I've read, if I were an outsider, I'd conclude that we must need a separate groups of laws for blacks than other races, as blacks have issues which being unique to them need to be addressed specifically to them and thats ok.
Perhaps black courts with black judges? Maybe only black cops can arrest blacks and whites can arrest whites?
While I share none of Pan's outrage there is a valid point here. Either we are one people equally under the law or we are not. It is only the racism that about everyone exhibited in this thread that allows us to say its ok for a black judge to exclude non-blacks from his court for any reason because blacks are different with different issues.
TFP is an interesting place. On the one hand I've been told that races don't even exist, there are no real differences, and on the other I've been told its ok for those in power to be exclusionary due to race differences as long as they are of that race.
