Why is that significant? You heard about realignment. You heard about the injustice that happens in our court system already. And you guys have seen who — I’m sure we all know who’s in our jails and who comes before our judges in court, right? It’s people who look a lot like the people in this room. People who look a lot like me.
I’ve been a prosecuting attorney and I’ve seen how things do not work in our system. I see how people who are disenfranchised, do not have appropriate education, or who come from underrepresented communities do not get access to fair justice. And part of the problem is that our judges don’t have the same life experiences that we have. They don’t have the same empathy. They don’t have the same understanding. They cannot relate. They have very narrow experiences. And so when they see a person come before them, they think everyone that comes before them is a horrible gang member or a violent criminal. You know?
Our jails are full of nonviolent people who are either have substance abuse problems, mental health issues, lack of education, or who are foster kids. Those people don’t need to be in jail. [Applause]
You have the power to change that. There are 15 open seats right now. I am the only African American running. There’s only one Chicana running. Can you guess who else is running? Are there people who care about the people in this room? Probably not. I can’t speak before them, but probably not.
You catch that? “Can you guess who else is running?” It appears that she is making a reference to white people. And do they care about black people such as the people in that church? Probably not.
That is Armstead’s attitude, and it is repulsive.
Unless you are black, would you really want this clearly prejudice woman as a judge over you? Hell no! She makes it clear what her priorities are. Skin color.

I respect the hell out of her. At least she's straight about where she stands & who she intends to represent. Unlike the Toms who Tom for the Democratic party in return for table scraps, I believe this lady is actually working for Black people & will do exactly what she says she will. If I was Black I wouldn't hesitate to vote for her.

I wouldn't vote for her. Hell no. Just because she's black! Never.

Not just because she's Black. I'd vote for her (If I was Black) because she obviously cares about & is going to fight for Blacks. Unlike Democrats & Republicans, neither of whom would ever get my vote.

You, and the person running for judge, need to better understand the role of the judicial branch.

The women appears to be a total racist. People like her do not belong in public positions.
