Most of you have probably heard by now, but a court judge in Atlanta was chastised for dismissing all non-blacks from the courtroom and proceeding to address a “y’all need to get it together speech” to the young defendants.
YouTube has the video:
I suppose I am just accustomed to having older black people pull you aside and tell you random things about The Race, but I must admit I am a little surprised at the people in the video who felt excluded from the scolding. Really, random guy, you seriously want a scolding lecture about your responsibilities to the black race?
Anyone else have thoughts on this?
