IMPEACHABLE STUPIDITY

Associated Press:

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- A south Louisiana NAACP branch is considering seeking a sanction against a white judge who appeared at a Halloween party in black face and wearing a prison jumpsuit and shackles around his wrists and ankles.

Judge Timothy C. Ellender, a state district judge in Terrebonne Parish, has acknowledged that he wore the costume, including an "afro" wig, but said it was a harmless joke. "It's a tempest in a teapot," he told The Courier of Houma.
Ellender did not immediately return a call for comment on Monday.

Jerome Boykin, president of the NAACP's Terrebonne Parish branch, said Monday that Ellender's costume stereotyped blacks as criminals and convicts.

"For a judge to take the time to paint his face black with shoe polish, put on an afro wig, a prison jumpsuit and shackles ... and walk around in public, I feel he ain't fit to be a judge," Boykin said.
