Many readers will not believe this but it is appears to be "unlawful" for a lawyer to forcefully argue against what he perceives to be racially motivated bias or unfairness in legal proceedings against a Black client. I use the term appears because from my perspective this makes no sense. However, over the past number of years I have received my share of "public shaming" "modern-day-lynching" for doing exactly that.
It is no accident that the mainstream media is always an available and willing partner in this process. The mainstream media is like a public relations partner, always available to print a story to assist the regulator or the wing of the government pushing for punishment or simply to promote their narrative.
I have decided to share my experiences with my readers because the time is right. The topics is out there. The time for change is upon us all.
I will set out my personal experience with this experience in a series of posts over the course of the summer.
