Dr. Rashad Richey takes a New York judge's removal a step further: he wants officials to examine past rulings involving Black defendants, not simply remove the person who made them.
The Indisputable segment follows a Canandaigua town justice's removal after findings that he repeatedly used a racist slur. Drawing on New York Times reporting, Richey walks through the disciplinary findings and the judge's explanation before reaching his call for a review.
The judge admitted using the slur outside court while recounting a family story. He said he was quoting his father and intended to teach a lesson about tolerance. Richey challenges that explanation, questioning why invoking someone else's words would excuse choosing to repeat them.
The report also describes a separate courtroom incident days later, when the judge accused a Black woman of playing the race card over her bail. New York's Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, upheld his removal.
The upload drew about 59,000 views in its first six hours, an unusually fast opening for the channel. Its comments had already exceeded the usual full-day total, with several viewers calling for earlier cases to be reviewed.
That is also where Richey lands: he argues that examining those decisions would address whether Black defendants received fair treatment. The segment calls for that review; it does not report that one has begun.
New York state's highest court, made up of seven judges appointed by the governor and confirmed by the state senate.
