Comments on: Mississippi Judge Faces Removal Over Remarks About “White Folks” http://jonathanturley.org/2008/03/21/mississippi-judge-faces-removal-over-remarks-about-white-folks/ Res ipsa loquitur ("The thing itself speaks") Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:21:29 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Truth http://jonathanturley.org/2008/03/21/mississippi-judge-faces-removal-over-remarks-about-white-folks/#comment-11764 Truth Wed, 23 Apr 2008 23:31:14 +0000 http://jonathanturley.wordpress.com/?p=1307#comment-11764 The truth: 17 month paid suspension for practicing law more than six months after taking the bench. Six month suspension without pay for conduct unbecoming a judge during an attempted reposession wherein the repo man suffered permanent brain damage (not at the hands of the Judge). Current charges: staements were published in the local paper; citizen complains; Judge states under oath that he did not make the alledged statements; newspaper produces audio recording of judge making the statements. Judge is not a victim of a racist establishment. Judge is a victim of his own ineptitude. The truth:

The reasons for such hate stem from the fact that he is often a target of the antiquated, outdated sense of racism long practiced in Greenwood, Ms. There are a number of people in the city of Greenwood who consider a black judge an affront, especially a judge that is not interested in sending an overwhelming number of black boys to jail. This and the fact that Greenwood,ms is light years behind other places as far racial unity is concerned,is the real reason why this man is being attacked. For years, judges of a certain color have made outrageous comments about the black citizens of Greenwood but these comments have not made it into the local or national media. To single out Judge Osborne as the reason for the presence of racial strife in this small Mississippi town is ludicrous. Greenwood has never been a town where unconditional racial unity is desired. This is another attempt by the influential racists of Greenwood to oust yet another black judge! Judge Osborne is hated by certain members of the white legal community.
