Remember the lawyer we covered yesterday utilizing the N word was held in contempt of court, confronted outside in that courtroom. Well, he gets off light. Here it is. So you don't like saying anything, right? You gonna call me a bitch? I bet you I bet you [00:00:20] won't call in front of a black man. Let me help you. You call a black woman any word, call me that. No, me I dare you to do it. I swear, for God, I'll make you taste the ancestors. Me too. You're a coward. Call that black woman any word. You're a real coward, man. We'll [00:00:36] catch you inside. Go right ahead. Go I guarantee you wouldn't do it in front of me. See, you talk to black women like that by themselves. You intimidate black women by themselves. But a black man, you will open your goddamn mouth. dare you to say it. I dare you to say it. But [00:00:53] their hair name is Shaky. taste the ancestors. That was a classic, original by the way. Put it up full mass. Here's an [00:01:12] update. The story we brought you yesterday, Texas lawyer Michael Phillips, used the N word in a according to the court, a derisive manner during arguments outside the jury's [00:01:28] presence in a child custody case. As noted for the record. He was held to contempt in direct contempt of court. He maintained that he was referencing testimony and evidence during his argument and did not attend the remarks as a slur. He also said he apologized immediately [00:01:47] after making said remarks, which is talking out of both sides of his mouth, okay? The incident drew a contempt ruling from Judge Chad Bradshaw, that is to judge He sentenced Phillips to [00:02:05] three days in jail and a $500 fine. Both penalties were suspended. They were suspended on the condition that Phillips submit written apologies to the court and to the black attorney on the [00:02:21] opposing side. We covered this yesterday, Durian, by June 30th. Black lawyers are underrepresented in their field. We wanna talk about that quickly. Black lawyers were 5 % of the profession in 2014, 5 % of the profession in 2024. That's far less than the percentage of black people [00:02:44] in the US population, which is 13.7 to 14%. And in recent data, the number of black law school applicants has gone down to a historic low in... modern history, why? Well, many of [00:03:11] those programs that would be catalyst for law school affordability or law school access, they have now been deemed DEI programs and no longer available, which means the pipeline [00:03:27] or the access has been entered. Cause and effect is what that is. Very sad. Senator, uh thoughts on the update? I thank you on mute, Senator. Yeah, thank you, doc. First of all, many thanks to that black [00:03:47] gentleman who stood up for black women and let it be known, a black man is in the house and I double-dog dare you to do it. And t-shirt, t-shirt, I'll make you taste the ancestors. is a t-shirt that I would proudly wear. was cheering because so often black women feel [00:04:09] alone. want to go back. I want to go to the great Minister Malcolm X. As a matter of fact, his birthday was this week on May 19th. I think he would have been 101 years old. He is timeless. He was certainly ahead of his time. And unfortunately, many of the things that he talked about are [00:04:26] still so relevant today. And I say unfortunately, because I would like to have thought that this many years since his birth that we would have come further. But he once said the most disrespected person in America is the black woman. The most unprotected person in America is the black [00:04:43] woman. The most neglected person in America is the black woman, Minister Malcolm X. It was true when he said it is still true today. And for those who stand up to protect black women, especially black men, it means so much more. I mean, we got people who stand up and [00:04:59] they know it's rotten. But when black men do it, it just got that special genocide quad to it. It's just something about it. So. Yeah, the attorney got off lightly but doctors we were talking about during the break, the judge probably already knew this was going to be in the universe as you said forever, ever, ever, ever. And just saying, hey, your punishment [00:05:19] enough because your misdeeds and your ignorance and anti-blackness is out there forever. And as you said, his children, grandchildren and grandchildren's children, if he has any, that will be out there forever. Yeah, and for those who may wonder why Why was he approached in [00:05:38] such a way? Keep in mind, he's held in contempt for trying to intimidate a black woman utilizing racism or racial tactics. So he was given a dose of his own medicine. That's what they [00:05:54] did, and that was the point. The point was to show him by experience what it feels like to be at your job in a professional environment and to be intimidated. and to feel helpless and hopeless and by yourself on an island in the moment of that intimidation. I guarantee [00:06:15] you it will be that moment that lives in his mind more so than what happened in that courtroom.
