Please explain why a black member of the judiciary who is doing very well and is highly regarded by his colleagues, black and white, is also a victim of “white normative institutional racism”. Is this because it suits you or are there valid reasons that society should be aware of.

You are starting to sound plaintive rather than convinced of your rectitude.

I take comfort from the fact that accusations of racism have finite durability and that eventually they will cease to have any impact in informed circles.

“Are they also victims of “white normative institutional racism?”

Yes.

There are plenty of black legal practioners who are doing very well within the legal fraternity and who are highly respected by their colleagues, both black and white. Are they also victims of “white normative institutional racism?”.

A good heart, and a sense of UBUNTU is what counts.

Respek!

LOL @ your p.s.

Is there anything definitive to give rise to the concerns about our Black judges?

If indeed there are valid reasons why people are concerned, is our system not sufficiently geared to remedy that?

Anyway, such research, even if it exists, would not impress me.

We all understand that there are just some jobs where years of experience is of little or no value. In that regard, being a judge is a bit like riding a bicycle. Do you know what I mean?

P.S. I always answer questions. So, yes, Maggs there is indeed a link between pot and flying. But only quite a tenuous one.

You seem sufficiently well informed.

Is there any research on the extent of the awful judgments by the Black judges appointed since 1994 or do we have to rely on the what we are told by those who know best?

make that link

Is there a like between pot and flying?

You seem to have an affinity for both.

She obviously knows a lot about the training programs of the Law Society and the Bar.

Like Maggs, I have not heard of any initiative they have to train young lawyers.

Nothing.

Nada.

Ziltch.
