Dallas judge criticized for racially charged quote

DALLAS – The top municipal judge in Dallas faces calls for his resignation over a racially charged column he wrote in a weekly newspaper.

Administrative Judge C. Victor Lander apologized Tuesday for writing in the Dallas Weekly that "black folks have been cleaning up white folks' messes for hundreds of years."

Lander, who is black, said he wrote the column earlier this month to praise reform efforts of the city's first black prosecutor, Craig Watkins.

A member of the Dallas City Council isn't buying the explanation — calling for Lander's resignation. The council appoints municipal judges in Dallas.

Well, racism exists in all races. Millions of people can't make it thru their days without spewing out the hate and racism. It's ugly no matter who is spewing it.

This is impossible. Everyone knows that only whites can be racists.

Hell if this had been a white judge, he would have already been on administrative leave pending his suspension.

of course not, as hjmick rightly pointed out, only white males can be racist...don't you know white people are just "typical"
