Shouldn't this be in L&P?
Time for me to jump in, having just spent the last three years prosecuting drug cases and violent criminals, and now sitting on the bench judging the same (plus some other interesting cases). Know what I learned from all of this? It's a big secret, but I'll share it with all of you THR members...
RACE IS IRRELEVANT. IT IS NOTHING MORE THAN A DISCRIPTION, LIKE EYE COLOR, HAIR COLOR, HEIGHT, WEIGHT, AND GENDER.
Some of the worst criminals I've ever seen happened to be white. Drug dealers come in all shapes and colors. My favorite was the 480 pound white guy who sold lage amounts of marihuana, and would occassionally unhook his oxygen mask from his face to take a hit from his bong. I have seen some very respectible citizens who are black. I have seen some scum of the Earth that are white. I have met very honorable businessmen who are Chinese and Mexican. I looked a white serial child rapist in the eye.
What Dr. Cosby is doing is making the same statements as this, trying to make race irrelevant in favor of strong families and personal responsibility. And, you know what. It makes sense. Very rarely have I seen a criminal come from a strong family, with good values. And, here's a second little secret for you THR members...
RELIGION DOESN'T MATTER EITHER.
I met some "very religious" Christians who were guilty of unimaginable crimes against children. A respected church elder and Big Brother comes to mind. And, I've met an Imam who was very honorable, very wise, and working hard to stop some black on black violence in the Dayton area. And, imagine this, I met an atheist who believed that his honor and reputation were very important, and he was known in the legal community for his honor and integrity.
Stepping down from the soapbox now, and going back to my bench.
