Take a Seat

In my opinion Judge Joe Brown has used the city of Memphis to get where he is now, and never looked back until recently. Now that CBS has refused to renew his contract. Suddenly he is talking about Martin Luther King Jr. and getting involved with local politics. I don't begrudge or blame him his success. I just recognize his game. He made some controversial rulings, and happened to get the right case at the right time. He got hold of the James Earl Ray case and parlayed it into a career in Hollywood. He traded his activism for his T.V. show.

He is playing the role to the end. In Henri Brooks he is endorsing the most  color blind politician in this city. I have never heard her make an argument that didn't involve race.  Why would he align himself with a known rebel? When for the last twenty years he has been anything but that. Once he got on the tube he went from being a Huey P.Newton to a Fred Hammond. Claiming he was "protecting womanhood while promoting manhood", A catch phrase for being a sugar daddy But they have a new kid on the block. Steve Harvey has more fans in the daytime than Tyra Banks. The ride is over. It's time to take a seat.
