Do with this as you will be this is racism at it’s finest.
Summary: This black judge in Mississippi was charged with misconduct because he refused to send drug users to prison – instead he would send them to local rehab centers, which statistically, has kept drug users from usage again. Moreover, he was so popular with the vote in his county, holding 55% of the vote, Sheriffs and deputies stopped sending criminals to his court. Even one bailiff refused to open his court by saying the “all rise.” He is the first black judge in this county for over 149 years and he is currently suing the government for his forced removal.
I just think this is an interesting piece because here we are being told “if you want to see the change, be the change”. Here is a brotha who put in the work to be that change and still white supremacy works to dismantle our efforts.
Racism intersects so much with the war on drugs.
I wish I could offer some kind of support to this judge because he was doing the right thing. (I do not believe in imprisoning drug users. It doesn’t help at all).
