The chief federal judge of Montana on Wednesday admitted to sending a racially charged email about President Barack Obama that seems to compare African-Americans to dogs, but denied circulating the note because it was racist, saying he only did it because it was “anti-Obama.”
The email, first obtained by the Great Falls Tribune, was forwarded by Chief U.S. District Judge Richard Cebull last week from his court email account to seven recipients — including his own personal email address — under the subject line, “A MOM’S MEMORY.”
“Normally I don’t send or forward a lot of these, but even by my standards, it was a bit touching. I want all of my friends to feel what I felt when I read this. Hope it touches your heart like it did mine,” Cebull’s email begins.
The text continues on to this joke: “A little boy said to his mother; ‘Mommy, how come I’m black and you’re white?’ His mother replied, ‘Don’t even go there Barack! From what I can remember about that party, you’re lucky you don’t bark!’”
In an interview with the Tribune, Cebull acknowledged that the email was racist but maintained that he doesn’t consider himself a racist and that the note was meant to remain private.
“The only reason I can explain it to you is I am not a fan of our president, but this goes beyond not being a fan,” the judge told the publication. “I didn’t send it as racist, although that’s what it is. I sent it out because it’s anti-Obama.”
MUST BE GRABBING FOR ANY MONEY PAYING JOBS HE CAN GET
Do you blame him? SOME MONEY IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN NONE.
..Also he’s LL; he sounds better as a bulldog than most people would sound as the president.
That’s not just “any money”… that little commercial got him over $100,000+ easily.
Others that do voiceover are Morgan Freeman, Keith David, Tom Selleck, Regina King, Queen Latifah, and sooooo many others…
Voice Acting is a career that a lot of actors are trying to get into. It pays well especially for the short amount of time to the commercial.
Residuals, baby!
And Robert Downey Jr. for Nissan. Laurence Fishburne for Cadillac, etc…
What’s cool about Black man pretending to be dog?
