re: Lafayette could make national news again

Think about these two scenarios and the comparable consequences.
Situation A:
Tom: “Why do you dislike John?”
Bob: “Because he’s a racist, ignorant redneck.”
Situation B:
Tom: “Why do you dislike John?”
Bob: “Because he’s a racist, ignorant ni**er.”
Someone overhears each of these conversations at work and tells someone in HR. Bob and Tom are called into the HR office. Tom verifies that Bob used the word redneck or ni**er.
Bob is fired for Situation B, but not for the other. Hell, to be honest, HR probably wouldn’t have even bothered calling him in for Situation A.
Is this fair?

I agree as I have from the beginning of the thread that there is blatant double standards when it comes to racism in this country
Then why did you argue the point about the social cost for a page with me?
Im not debating that different slurs have different weight, and I agree thats a double standard. Fight your fight but you cant ignore the way things actually are when discussing the context here.

This thread went off the rails.
I can assure y’all that, even from my somewhat liberal perspective, Judge Odinet is very fair and even handed on the bench. Without exception.
I’m very glad that she and her kids caught the car burglar. Great job. Too many of those car burglars out these days.
Also, I am shocked at how casually they use the n-word at home. That’s not how you act. Period.
She will probably take some time off the bench to let this blow over. There will be a judiciary commission investigation convened. She will probably get a public reprimand, at the least.
We will all be ok.

But it’s understood and accepted that different words have different meanings and connotations depending on who is saying it and the context in which it is being used.
Does a white man calling another white man a “stupid redneck” mean something different than a black man calling him that?

I'm not talking about her situation. I'm talking about anyone that appears before her because they've been accused of theft.
Some of those people will plead guilty... probably a lot of them, so considering how she characterizes people that are caught stealing from her, would you feel comfortable that she could fairly sentence a black defendant that has just pled guilty of stealing from others?
Then consider that the recusal law does not just take into account if outsiders think a judge is biased, but if the parties themselves believe a judge is biased and they have evidence to support that belief.
Which again, is why I think she'll resign because there will be so many recusal motions filed (first one was already filed today) by black defendants that the Court will not be able to operate

Dude, you’re full fledged libtard.
But thanks for not burning this woman at the stake like most leftists and insecure blacks would for speaking “The Unspeakable Word” that’s spoken by blacks everyday and is in 90% of rap songs.

Don’t try to deny it, I’ve read enough of your posts on the poli board.
But like I said in my previous post, or edited, thanks for not burning her at the stake.

It’s interesting about the PoliBoard. There are more dishonest posts that make up shite they falsely attribute to me then there are actual posts from me. My position is always reality based, not tribal. But the PoliBoard is the tribal jungle where propagandists spend their entire waking lives blasting anything that questions their own propaganda. If you pay attention to my actual occasional posts over there you may find yourself agreeing with me more than you may assume.

That’s the typical PoliBoard post that falsely attributes positions to me that I’ve never taken.

If the national association of always complaining people want to do something productive, they need to be just as vigilant with that word being used by rappers, movie stars, etc. They should also be as outraged about all the black on black killing. They like to pick and choose what outrages them. Until they wanna own it. White shouldn’t either.

Everyone who wants her to resign should have their home broken into by that same person.

Y'all are a bunch of clowns.
We’re not the ones that have given a word so much power that by merely saying it will cause you to lose your job, be socially outcast, and rightfully assaulted.
Y’all have all but made it illegal to say the word, but I’m sure that’s in the works. Can’t wait to read the headline, “White Man Jailed For Using the N-Word.”
