Actually King is correct. I saw his picture and realized he was black for the first time like some of you. How odd, they mentioned that the dry cleaners were korean, so why not that the judge was black. I'm sure everyone assumed he was a mean old white man. I immediately recalled that blacks and koreans have, shall we say, tensions. So I included his racial description to see whether it affected peoples perception and what different color it gave to the story.
Then I looked at the judge's background and realized he's got a long history in the black community. I don't know the groups he was involved in, so they could be innocent affiliations or it could reflect a militant mindset. At a minimum he seems like a trouble maker and perhaps a racist. It gives a possible an explanation for his attempt to destroy these koreans and another dimension to the story.
D.C. Superior Court Judge Neal Kravitz stated that "the court has significant concerns that the plaintiff is acting in bad faith."
Pearson was the attorney for the Washington Neighborhood Legal Services Program. He was hearing examiner for the Office of Police Complaints (who would be making those complaints?) He worked for a number of community groups including Black Seeds as well as the National Black Lawyers Association.
I leave you to draw your own conclusions, but it would be nice if the media told the whole story especially as it seems he is a rabble rouser.
