the second part of the post--which for some reason is where you started--was about linking the premise to the politics that lay behind the op claim.
it seems to me that if you accept the premise which i quote AGAIN here, you can't move to your argument in the op at all.
maybe that's why you skipped it.

That's not what the OP asked. It asked, if you thought what this judge did was racist, wrong or ok and would you be as accepting if a judge from another group took the same action? It may not have been phrased that way, I did insert my 2 cents and beliefs on the subject which is my right. But the question was fundamentally there.
What you try to do in the above is change the focus thereby changing the argument to fit your needs, what you want it to be. Not what the OP was truly about.
To me, what this judge did is racist, wrong and I have discussed why.
Do not try and attempt to tell me what my OP was about.

side note:
i don't write this way here to do anything beyond relay information that i think is relevant in the form of an argument.
i write other ways in other contexts.
so this:
i didn't know there was a writing workshop dimension to the forum.
i'll just ask you whether you're sure you want to go down this route with me.
i'm not sure you do, pan.

I do not like the way you converse, I find it very degrading and pompous .... I am allowed to... but this is off topic and has nothing to do with the OP.
Yet another personal attack having nothing to do with the OP, with the last sentence IMHO being a threat from a MOD on this board.
How nice is that.
Let's stick solely to the question and debate that.... nothing else just this "if you thought what this judge did was racist, wrong or ok and would you be as accepting if a judge from another group took the same action?"
My name does not even have to be mentioned, I don't want to see anymore posts directed at me unless hey are to question something I have stated in regards to this question.
I can almost guarantee it won't happen and I will have to say: off topic, what is you opinion on the OP.

pan...the central character with the victim complex who refuses to discuss the topic with rb because of writing style.
seaver...who believes the action of the judge in question is illegal..but of course doesnt care enough to explain that position...or perhaps because there is no legal justification.
and the ever present Ustwo....known for his "not enough hours in the day" defense to avoid responding to posts that present factual evidence that challenges his positions on numerous issues and occasions....you ready to discuss voter caging yet?
Stay tuned for more!
