Fulton Judge Repeats ‘Blacks Only’ Speech
A couple of weeks ago, an Atlanta area judge was so embarrassed by the actions of young black males that he told all non-blacks to leave so that he could talk to them candidly. He repeated the speech in front of everyone after receiving criticism. Complete chaos going on and the Muslim community is supposed to be silent?

Fulton County Judge Marvin Arrington, who last week asked white people to leave his courtroom while he chastised black defendants, on Thursday delivered much the same message to anyone who wanted to hear it.
“We have insanity going on in the black community,” he said to the courtroom as TV news crews filmed his spiel. “If we don’t say something, the infrastructure of this community is going to collapse. It will be like living in the wild, wild west.
[...]
The judge apologized if he offended any whites but said he was just trying to do some good. He ticked off a list of crimes to help illustrate why he was delivering a message to African-American youth.
—Arrington said a white man and a white woman were buying crack cocaine near Christian City in South Fulton County when they got into a dispute with the black vendor over the price. The dealer wanted $20 for the rock, the male buyer wanted to pay $15.
“He (the dealer) said, and I quote, ‘I get tired of you crackers,’ and he shot the fella in the head. The girlfriend said, ‘Why would you do that?’ And he said, ‘We don’t need no witnesses,’ and shot her in the head,” Arrington recalled. A security guard investigated and the gunman killed him. Three deaths, the judge said, in 20 minutes.
[...]
—His own brother was robbed while unlocking the door to his home. A gunman put a pistol in his brother’s mouth while his brother’s wife watched. “My sister-in-law was a nervous wreck,” he said. These are the type of crimes you don’t read about.”
African-Americans in positions of authority have an obligation to speak out to young people who are on the path to becoming street thugs before they turn into killers, Arrington said. He said people he puts on probation too often end up back in court on a new charge.
He said as a youth he could have easily ended up on the wrong track when he was doing poorly in school. He credits his parents, teachers and his childhood friend Hamilton Holmes, one of the students who later integrated the University of Georgia, with giving him a helping hand and persuading him to buckle down.
He said he also recognized that all honest work was worthy work, and holding steady jobs ensured he had money and stayed out of trouble.

I understand the Judges frustration and his motivation in this. He meant well so I support his actions.
The DOJ stats indicate that 48% of all murders are commited by blacks and the majority of those perpetrators are black males. The black pop of the US is 12/13% and black males 6% ergo 6% of the population commit about 50% of all of the murder in this country. This is an astounding amount of capitol crime for a small population.
What elements of culture, or lack thereof, lead to this sad result?
This is the discussion we need to have about race in this country.
What leads to this and how can it be averted.
Patb - you forget to mention that blacks also make up 46.9% of all murder VICTIMS. The violence in some black communities is terrible. We need to do something about violence in this country in general. On the upside, violent crime is decreasing ….
Good ‘ol Marv speaks again eh?
Although he may confuse me at times, I shares his frustrations on this issue. I don’t get it myself. When you hear about stuff like this , you just have to ask yourself ” Why?”.Is being a Black person so terrible that we have to do this to ourselves? Why do this do ourselves when we don’t have to? We can blame the drugs , guns or whatever ails some of these ocmmunities, but it just don’t justify what we are doing to ourselves/ It just doesn’t make any sense.
h Sofia,
Yes true, but does it really matter the color of the victims?
There is something terribly wrong here that needs fixing.
Why? What leads to this tremendously violent leaning in such a small segment of society.
I have my suspicions but they are just that. This needs concerted effort of many of us. all of us, to affect this terrible issue.
This is an American issue and not just a black issue.
