- Yes, I've noticed this as well. There's a TV ad for (I think) a
- credit card or maybe western union, where this judge fines some poor
- sucker for speeding, and he needs cash real fast. The judge is black.
-
- Also, just last night I saw "Body of Evidence," Madonna's latest
- vehicle for exposing herself (silly, poorly acted plot, very high
- production values on the extremely titilating sex scenes). There's an
- extended courtroom scene and the judge is a black woman who is
- constantly putting the two white male lawyers in their place (and
- creating numerous grounds for a mistrial, but that's another story).
