Yes, Eric Holder is right, we need a dialog on race, and we should start with this judge. Then, maybe, we could move on to the Detroit City Council, but that's a story for another day.

DALLAS (AP) - The top municipal judge in Dallas faces calls for his resignation over a racially charged column he wrote in a weekly newspaper.

Administrative Judge C. Victor Lander apologized Tuesday for writing in the Dallas Weekly that "black folks have been cleaning up white folks' messes for hundreds of years."

Lander, who is black, said he wrote the column earlier this month to praise reform efforts of the city's first black prosecutor, Craig Watkins.

A member of the Dallas City Council isn't buying the explanation—calling for Lander's resignation. The council appoints municipal judges in Dallas.

Lander has been a municipal judge for 12 years.

This is also Dallas... Not quite as out there as say Austin or San Fran, but people say stupid stuff all the time. The man, despite his personal opinions, could be an awesome jurist. It's happened before. But in Texas most judicial appointments are elected, and this is muni-judge. Depending on his district, he's out.
