Is she fucking the father? That's the only theory I can come up with for why this vile moron seems more concerned about the father getting what he wants instead of what's best for the kids. Judges like her are evil. That sounds hyperbolic but until you've dealt with a judge or a police officer or any person with…

It’s totally entire neighborhoods. A girlfriend of mine in a very white, pretty affluent part of town close to a big university had a *GASP* young black man living in her basement suite and her neighbors went postal over it. The passive-aggressive ones started with concern trolling about my friend’s safety as if it…

Fuck me, do I get that. My husband is black and I look white. We weren’t married when we bought our house. He told me not even to take him when I started. Together we were shown a dilapidated mold spore across from an emergency room, alone I was shown a cozy foreclosure in the best school district in the state.…

I have to admit that when my partner and I are looking for new apartments, I prefer sometimes to do the first round of apartment visits alone (I am white and he is a person of color). I feel like we get more callbacks than if we do it the other way around. It might be in my head, but I suspect that it works similarly…

I can definitely vouch for the landlord piece. A while back I lived in a duplex and my landlord owned and was selling both units. The person who bought the house had me as a tenant for the duration of my lease, and prospective homebuyers who read me as ethnically ambiguous tried all kinds of verbal acrobatics to…

I was shocked when I learned about real estate agents “steering” in a housing policy course. Also, banks still “red line” (won't provide mortgages for homes in black neighborhoods). It's illegal, but research on lending has shown that banks still continue this practice.

This. Some people do not understand that covert racism is a thing. A deeply ingrained, dysfunctional thing.

Nuns against Katy Perry.

Lots of people. As a black person trying to buy something right now I shop with a white friend who poses as me so I can see the same places.

“Since then, I’ve been seeing them regularly but always in supervised visits, sometimes with a professional and sometimes with my ex-wife present.

SRSLY! “I ordered you to have a loving relationship with your father.”

Did the judge actually listen to herself say this?

I can’t believe they had their clients testify. These kids are 9, 10 and 15. I will give a pass to the GAL of the 15-year-old, but having a 9-year-old go into court and have his/her lawyer say, “OK, talk to the judge” is insane. A GAL is there to speak for the child, not throw them out on their own.

The judge was so offensive in the transcript. Just so much bullying of children *children*. She called one stupid, “You supposedly have a high IQ but I’m doubting it based on your actions here.”

She told the NINE year old that she would be spending her teen birthdays locked up and having to pee in front of other…

In my experience in the Oakland County family law realm is that these judges just seem to do whatever they want as far as handing out punishments.

For example my ex husband and I had a disagreement about how I was to use my website. He simply asked that I remove posts about him from it, which I was happy to oblige.…

That’s what I’ve read & some social workers in the area say it is a very rough juvenile detention center as well. These poor kids being forced into this hellhole and not even being able to see their mom.

It sounds like she openly adores the father, too. She's unbelievably open about her bias in the transcript.

That judge is a disgrace to her profession, logic, and humanity in general. I’m just waiting to find out she’s banging the dad.

This is the most horrifying thing I’ve ever read. Omg. How do we get the kids out?!

Now we’re incarcerating children because of their parents’ behavior? WTF is this world that I am living in?
