62. Of course she didnt know he was a retired judge. Hillbillys are too stupid to read, or comprehend, but she sure knows how to sue.

63. You guys posting here have no idea! These producers are manipulaters and conartists at their best!! They DO make you believe that, even though it is for TV, your case will be "judged" on the evidence. They tell you to get witness statements and bring all your pictures and other evidence. They have you sign some paperwork in advance so you think that it is very simple. Then, after long flights, arriving late, and being picked up at 6am, you get several pages of complex legal paperwork without the ability to confer in advance with your attorney! They videotape you in places you would never realize they were doing so. Then these recorded "private" conversations are edited into the show making it look like you said it in court. What they offer you is the airfare to Chicago, 1 night hotel, a meal the night you arrive and $250. Then, if you are the plaintiff and you "win" the show will pay the judgment. If you are the defendant, either way you're "off the hook"...you owe nothing. The way it goes from beginning to end is nothing short of dispicable! They take advantage of the most honest and trusting people, not the one who is right or wrong. They revictimize the person who has already been victimized. I have walked in this woman's shoes and I sympathize with her greatly!

64. Its amazing that if a white Judge would have said to a black person, "your a ghetto hoodrat" we would have the n.a.a.c.p. marching down in front of the building, he would have probably lost his show and would have made a fool out of himself beggin jessie jackson to forgive him. But its ok for a black judge to call a white person hillbilly becuase everyone knows black people cant be racist. Hillbilly is a racial term that refers to white southern's or white moutain folks, do your research, hillbilly was originated to discribe WHITE mountian people who seperated them selve's in their own mining towns up in the mountian in the SOUTH, so please dont tell me its not a raciast term thats like saying HONKY , CRACKER, or REDNECK which i may add do not offend me, bu if a white person says N*gg3r, N^gga, or C00n then we need to be lined up and shot becuase we will have the n.a.a.c.p. a so called "non racist" organization marhing in front of our door.

66. I think some of you have it all wrong. This is not a racist thing, it is an arrogant, ignorant situation. In my opinion, Judge Marilyn Milian from the People's Court is the best TV judge of them all. She is very intellectual and she knows the law inside and out. She is the fairest and most respectful judge on TV. She does not decide her cases based on her feelings; she respectfully upholds the law. Her mission is for all of her litigants to get a fair and just decision and she does not have to embarrass them to get her point across. Some of these TV judges have let fame get to their heads and they feel it's ok to treat people as if they're beneath them. They fail to realize that it is because of their litigants that they even have a job! There is no reason to make it that personal that these judges have to demean people on national television. Because last I checked, we all put our pants on the same way and we all bleed the same. The name calling is just self gratification for someone with low self esteem. When you have to put someone else down to make yourself feel better then there is something wrong with you. I think some of these judges, whether on TV or not, have forgotten what the true purpose of what their mission is supposed to be: upholding and respecting the law. I don't think this situation with Judge Mathis has anything to do with racism but has all to do with true arrogance. I used to be a big fan of his but I think along the way he forgot where he came from. The funny thing about karma is that in a blink of an eye you can easily lose all that you have gained. Don't ever take a blessing for granted because one small thing can ruin a persons reputation. If this woman wanted to be embarrassed on national television, I'm sure she would have signed up to be on Jerry Springer.

67. It's too bad the Judge Mathis dosen't take the time to read these comments. Judge Mathis is the most disrespectful,bais, arrogant, tv personality ever. I quess, as a previous comment stated, it must be Judge Mathis's way of hiding his low self-esteem.
Racist..that he is. My 11yr old daughter, told me her social studies teacher used excerpts of his show to demonstrate, what she called reverse racisim. How it is ok for African Americans to use decretory remarks against other races. But, God help any other race that uses equivalant remarks against African Americans. I encourage my kids to watch Judge Joe Brown or Judge Marilyn Milian for thier, thorough review to the evedence and honest jugdements.
