Would she accept this excuse from someone in her courtroom?

Same answer. As long as minorities get unequal treatment by the CJS standards for judges need to be higher.

Of course, but need does not mean there is an easy path to achieving results of a desirable nature. First we need judges that would insure minorities get equal treatment and before we can appoint such judges if they exist, we have to have folk who will appoint them. Those people will also have to have unbiased capacity to separate the wheat from the chaff. Where are they going to come from and who will put them into a position to judge the judges. That also will require people dedicated to equality and capable of recognizing it from their own personal bias if different.

I guess where these folks come from the N word is common language where "everybody that they know" uses it and I would assume describing other folks of color would get the same put down treatment. Must be comforting for them to describe non-whites in such a denigrating kind of way. If it's inbred in their culture like it seems to be, peer pressure is non-existent due to how everyone around them thinks the same way.

Why is it I get that nagging feeling that if she gets thrown off the bench another closet racist just like her and her family will get reloaded in her place.

Bet the last day or so has been fun at home.

Especially the part where they're trying to nail down whomever let loose that video out into the wild. I'm so sure the person that did it thought it would be a really fun thing to do, get lots of hits and acquire some sense of notoriety over it, especially when that person thinks it's perfectly fine to toss around the N word because everybody they know does it too.

I'm surprised she even felt the need to deny it at this point. Own it, qanon base wants to vote for you.

How long before she claims being the victim of cancel culture and runs for office as a Republican?

"Can't we just go back to the good 'ole days when we could call them ni**ers in the open?" Sounds like a GOP platform to me running on 1A.
