Philadelphia School District Lawyer Calls Jurors 'Crackers' Attorney Removed As Lead Councel After Racist Comments
POSTED: 10:17 am EST December 28, 2005 UPDATED: 10:25 am EST December 28, 2005
PHILADELPHIA -- Attorney Carl Singley has lost his role as lead counsel in a school district discrimination case after allegations that he called several white jurors "crackers" after their verdict.
The jury had awarded about $3 million in damages to four white plaintiffs who contended that their boss in the Philadelphia School District's purchasing department had fired them in 2003 for racial reasons.
Singley, who is black, was accused of making the comment to jurors in a courthouse elevator after last week's verdict. He soon found himself back in the courtroom before U.S. District Judge Harvey Bartle III.

Hey, what the John F'ing Kerry is going on here. EVERYONE, EVERY BODY KNOWS that ONLY WHITES can make racially prejudice comments. Blacks do not make racial comments. They get an immediate immunity card from Jessie.

I live 20 miles west of Philly. Believe me... this comes as no surprise considering the mayor. Of course, John Street would have started swinging at the jurors rather than call them names.
To: Sub-Driver
Let me get this straight...A black manager fires a bunch of white workers....they sue for discrimination....they win the suit....and the black lawyer for the defendant calls the white folks on the jury racial names....and the Philadelphia school system employed this racist to represent them before a jury? See if you can guess whom I think is really dumb and racist in this contest? Sounds to me like a lawyer needs to be sent to "racial sensitivity" school, or have his law license revoked! What a fool!!

John Kerry was in Philly during the campaign last year. At the end of his speech, he gave the audience (mostly black) the "black power" sign - raisning his fist in the air.
How f-ing condescending can one party be to an entire race of people??? Do black people think he would have done the same thing to an audience of white people?

" he called several white jurors "crackers" after their verdict."
I love Saltine crackers with chili. Graham crackers are another favorite. I just love crackers of all kinds.
I would be honored to be called a cracker.

Cracker = Georgia white man.
Because if you're from the south, you're obviously a racist.

80% of all black's in America, racist hate for white America bump and 100% of all white liberals hate for white America.
