All Whites, Please Leave The Courtroom

By John Mesirow

For real. As reported in The Kansas City Star:

[Fulton Superior Court Judge Marvin] Arrington asked all white people to leave before he lowered the boom on the defendants, telling them that bad behavior in poor black neighborhoods drags down black advancement.

I wanted to have a fireside chat. And my grandmother said years ago that if you?re going to fuss at black people, you don?t need to do it in front of white people.

Zoinks!
