The teen girl without a permanent home who was forced to don jail garb, wear handcuffs and ask for mercy after falling asleep in a courtroom is suing the Detroit judge who had her taken into custody.
Eva Goodman, 15, and her mother filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday in U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Michigan against 36th District Judge Kenneth King. They allege he violated the teen’s civil rights, arguing King acted outside the scope of his judicial authority when he detained her, yelled at her and threatened her with jail time.
she was asleep while black though
And poor. And homeless. Definitely a menace to society.
isn’t the judge African American, too ?
that doesn’t change much. black cops also can be racist against black people. they’re part of a racist structure.
Some of the most virulently racist people I’ve met have been African American. Even against other African Americans.
This is a stupid comment to make. Yes, black people can be racist against black people. No, they are not “the most racist.” Look at Elon Musk and his family’s emerald mines. THAT’S the most racist people we know - the prison owners, the people destabilizing Africa and other countries, the people enslaving other races for profit. Just because that racism is socially acceptable here because it affords those people luxury, doesn’t make them “less racist.” You just don’t pick up on it because you’re used to it.
