Kudos to this judge, and I'll bet he does a good share of community service things himself!

If what he said has started something that changes the lives of even one or two, gives them the motivation to work on their lives, then he succeeded.

This judge is a truth teller and to me, a fine person.
There are no kudos to the judge. Justice is blind ... allegedly. "His people" are the citizens of the United States. His exclusive conduct was inappropriate to his position and in fact racist.

If he wants to perform community service or express his concern for "his" people, he needs to do so on his own time in an appropriate forum.
