So Pan, plenty of people—myself included—have said that it would be okay if it were a white judge. What do you say to us? It seems that we don't view the judge as racist, nor do we fall under your label as being hypocritical.

hat's true and we had a decent discussion.
But if you go back and read through there were those that stated no a white judge can't do this..... that is the underbelly no one wants to acknowledge is racism, well at least those who support that belief.
So if I over and over again state if you say all judges can, I have issues with it but I can respect your opinion..... and you and I, and others and I, had a good debate on that aspect. Where I stated I just feel it's the wrong venue, an abuse of power, I feel it was prejudiced and that all could have benefitted and so on.... but that is MY OPINION and I am allowed to have it and to speak on it, last time I looked.
That's the easy part, the superficial part, that everyone wants to focus on.
It's the underbellied second part that is the problem no ne truly wants to discuss.
That is how can you say one group can do this but another can't? That promotes racism/sexism/discrimination in and of itself.
There are people who have posted that they wouldn't approve of a white judge in this situation but it is ok for a black judge. Then they come up with bullshit reasons why this hypocrisy is ok and should be ok.
It's not ok. My argument is if you say it is ok for one group then support any group that does this. We cannot pick and choose who we allow to do what, especially in court, especially with judges.
Now, why would the second part offend you so much that you feel the need to keep attacking me (1st paragraph is a lecture aimed at me not the topic.)
So no, if that doesn't make sense and what I have spent 6 pages arguing doesn't make sense then this country is in serious trouble. Because in the end, you allow one group to do it and not another.... then you build up barriers, resentments and prejudices and that will never allow races/religions/sex/etc to become equal.
But people will read into it what they want to get out of it, twist meanings to get what they want, call me a "fuckin tool" (I saw what I saw RB, Mr. Mod), tell me to shut the fuck up and whatever..... but they refuse to truly acknowledge what they approve of is just as wrong and as detrimental to society as anything.
But that is my opinion and I am allowed to have it.
