Well, it doesn't seem like that group is arguing racism, but rather that the giving of the bible was somehow inappropriate. Seriously, if they're making an issue out of that in THIS case, that group has too much time on their hands.
The group's argument that I was referencing that seemed to point to a racist undertone was this section:
Kemp has also been criticized by activists who wondered whether a black defendant would get the same treatment."
To that I say it is ridiculous. In this situation we have a black judge, a black DA and several members of the jury that were black. Why wouldn't the judge have also given a black defendant a hug if the facts were otherwise the same?
