…is that people of color are not subject to authority or judgement from white people.

But then WHO would sentence them to death?

…is that people of color are not subject to authority or judgement from white people. Remember, when the term “jury of their peers” was first composed, it meant individuals were entitled to be judged by those of their own social class, that is, nobles vs commoners.

I think he has spelled it out quite clearly for his followers that can’t read…

Could a Muslim Judge Be Trump Neutral? Trump Thinks Not

Donald J. Trump said Sunday that a Muslim judge might have trouble remaining neutral in a lawsuit against him, extending his race-based criticism of the jurist overseeing the case to include religion and opening another path for Democrats who have criticized him sharply for his remarks.

But hey, at least he noted that “his” African-American was “sitting there well-behaved.” High praise indeed.

For much of a year, Gonzalo P. Curiel, then a federal prosecutor in California, lived officially in hiding.

He hunkered down for a while on a naval base and in other closely guarded locations under the protection of United States marshals. Even his siblings did not know exactly where he was at times.

The reason: In a secretly taped conversation inside a San Diego prison, a man accused of being a gunman for a Mexican drug cartel said that he had received permission from his superiors to have Mr. Curiel assassinated.

“It was kind of scary,” said Mr. Curiel’s brother Raul. “He had to be protected. He always had one or two bodyguards with him.”

Nearly 20 years later, Gonzalo Curiel, now a federal judge, is being targeted in a very different way.

The presiding judge in a lawsuit filed by former students of Trump University, he has been called a “hater” of Mr. Trump by the presumptive Republican presidential nominee himself. At a rally last week, Mr. Trump said the judge “happens to be, we believe, Mexican,” suggesting that he was biased because of Mr. Trump’s calls to build a wall along the border to prevent illegal immigration. Angry supporters have been calling the judge’s chambers.

Trump repeatedly accuses Americans of color of not being American….
