ATLANTA -- Judge Marvin Arrington insists he's not a racist; despite ordering white lawyers out of his courtroom on Thursday.

The Fulton County Superior Court judge said he was just fed up seeing a parade of young black defendants in his courtroom.

"I came out and saw the defendants, about 99.9 percent Afro-Americans, and some point time I excused some of the lawyers, most of them white, and said to the young people in here 'What in the world are you doing with your lives,'" he told WSB-TV Channel 2 reporter JaQuitta Williams.

Arrington said he thought his message might have more power if it was delivered to a blacks-only audience.

"I didn't think about racism or reverse racism, I practiced law for 30 years and 75 percent of my partners were white," he explained.

The judge said the majority of people who appear before him accused of crimes such as murder, rape and robbery are black and he wanted to do something about it, one on one.

"I didn't want them to think I was talking down to them; trying to embarrass them or insult them; be derogatory towards them and I was just saying 'Please get yourself together,'" he said.

Arrington added that he may make a similar speech next week, but this time he'll allow everyone to hear it.

I don't see how people  are saying this is reverse racism. It's not like he ordered the white people out of the courtroom and the held court proceedings. He was just lecturing the people of his own race about how he doesn't want to see them in his courtroom anymore.

Shades of Bill Cosby if you will.

Not sure how much good it'll do...but ya know.

Reverse Racism?  What is that?  Racism is racism.    Same with reverse discrimination.  Society has been duped by the PCP Police to create this idea that the majority are the only people that can discriminate or be racist.  A female teacher can discriminate against the male students and my black neighbor can be just as racist as my white neighbor. 

Those "reverse" terms drive me NUTS.

Liberals just make up definitions to suit their needs of the moment, no matter how ridiculous or absurd.  It's why they need to be exterminated...   :silence:
