Colorado judge steps down after committing grievous faux pas

In summary:

1. In a private conversation she asked a black colleague why blacks could say the N word, but whites couldn't. Except she didn't say the N word. She said the actual word. Her colleague ratted her out, evidently a year after the fact.

2. She said she didn't understand the BLM movement because she felt that all lives matter.

A Colorado judge has resigned after repeatedly using the N-word while talking to a black court official and proclaiming “all lives matter” in the aftermath of George Floyd’s police-involved death.

Colorado District Judge Natalie T. Chase agreed to step down from the bench Friday after she was censured by the Colorado Supreme Court for her comments.

In a six-page order, the court said Chase, who is white, failed to “maintain the high standards of judicial conduct required of a judge.”

In a separate incident early last year while driving two court employees from a training session in Pueblo, Chase asked a family court facilitator, who is black, why people of color “can use the N-word but not white people” — and whether it was different if the “N-word is said with an ‘er’ or an ‘a’ at the end of the word,” according to the order.

Chase used the “full N-word several times” during the conversation, leaving the black court facilitator angered and dismayed while trapped in the car while, the order states.
