Throughout the hearing, the judge, a Black woman with Native American ancestry, accused Young of mistreating Black attorneys, took “judicial notice” of her own background in making findings against Young, and repeatedly referred to Young, who is Latino, as being White. Brown called the hearing months after she revoked Young’s ability to practice in her courtroom to weigh whether the lawyer should face sanctions.
“I think what’s happening here, quite candidly, is you are very intimidated for some reason, Mr. Young, with Black excellence, in light of your White mediocrity. Yeah. Right?,” Brown said, according to the transcript. “You should write that down. I mean, you — I’m — you look like a White man, right?”
“I’m not White, Your Honor,” Young replied, adding that he’s Latino. “Well, you are White-presenting; is that fair to say?” Brown said, according to the transcript. Young said that he’s “fair-skinned,” and Brown said that Young had “White privilege” when he argued his client didn’t receive key evidence in the case.
“You’re the White savior, come to save all the stupid Black lawyers in Texas who need your help, from New York,” Brown later said, according to the transcript. . . .
During the April 24, 2026 hearing, Brown accused Young of “racial bullying” toward Black attorneys in the case. Brown also said that Young was acting like a “Chad,” a term Young wasn’t familiar with. The judge said it was the male version of a “Karen.” “It’s someone who calls the manager when they don’t get their way. They stomp their foot when the rules are supposed to apply to them, right?” Brown said, according to the transcript. . . .
During the April hearing, Brown took issue with an article headline describing the case when it went before the Supreme Court of Texas. The article quoted a brief filed by Young that referenced another law professor apparently comparing what happened in the tenure denial to a “lynching.” The judge accused Young of making up that quote to “get a headline.”
“And so when I read a headline — a sensationalized, very racialized headline that says, ‘it’s like I’ve been lynched,’ and it’s literally got no connection to this case, I have to ask you, Mr. Social Media, Main Character Chad, White Hero, Savior, Loves to Help Black People Be An Ally, where the lynching in this case came from?” Brown said, according to the transcript.
She also apparently gave Young a copy of a 1920 newspaper article that described a lynching. “So we don’t find lynching jokes funny down here, sir,” Brown said, according to the transcript.
Fascinating. Brown is a Trump appointee, which means that even supposedly conservative clack judges may have had their brains addled from years of anti-white, anti-male indoctrination, propaganda and an implanted victim mentality. Of she just snapped like a dry twig in the wind. She has been suspended pending psychiatric testing; apparently the judge had been acting strangely for quite a while. Brown has refused to decide some cases and hasn’t shown up to face her disciplinary proceedings. This, Josh Blackman deduces at The Volokh Conspiracy, suggests that “something is amiss” with this judge.
