Here's another thought. If I were white and was the victim of a violent crime, and if the person(s) responsible for that crime were black, would I ever even hope to get justice from a racist black judge?
I didn't see much wrong with what he did. He wanted to have a brief constructive discussion with the black defendents he sees continuously coming through his courtroom. It seems he felt they may be more willing to listen to a "frank" discussion with a black only audience.
Seems to be someone who really cares about trying to improve things, at least from his personal perspective.

He's a judge. Being a racist, politician or activist is not in his job description. Period. In fact, this is the single most important reason why our judicial system is in utter shambles. Activist, political agenda judges.

Your interpretation of the story is very different from mine. And I believe what he did was acceptable, and in support of an objective I consider laudable.
Judge admits mistake in kicking whites out of court.
(CNN) -- An Atlanta, Georgia, judge who ordered white lawyers out of his courtroom so he could lecture African-American defendants called that decision a "mistake" Tuesday night.

I happen to agree---it was a "neat" idea, and showed a certain willingness to 'bend the rules' for a good reason. (I remember another black judge--in Memphis, I THINK--who was famous for taking young 'punks' into his chambers and verbally 'asaulting' them, 'off the record', with some VERY un-judge-like language..and had some very POSITIVE results).
Still, though, as a matter of pure debate, I think we ALL know that, if a WHITE judge had "cleared the court" of all non-whites, in order to "lay down the law" to a group of defiant skinheads, the media would have had a 'field day'--no matter HOW well-intentioned the act was....
