Judge Tim Philpot and the KKK



Sadly, it’s not too long ago that affiliation with white supremacist groups such as the KKK was a political advantage in some circles. In February 1982 Lexington CBMC , the business outreach group then chaired by Judge Tim Philpot  invited a convicted narcotic trafficker, machine gun peddler and disgraced former attorney Gene Neill to give a motivational speech about his prison-inspired religious awakening. When it was brought to Tim’s attention that Mr. Neill was also an active and outspoken member of the “Invisible Empire, Ku Klux Klan”, who contributed frequently to the monthly newsletter The Klansman (through which he also sold recorded cassettes of hateful speeches), Tim denied prior knowledge of Mr. Neill’s Ku Klux Klan membership. Nevertheless, the very nature of Mr. Neill’s openly expressed views should have been a red flag to those who did not share these opinions. Three months before, when visiting American troops in Germany, Mr. Neill had gone on record extolling Germans as
“ a handsome race of intelligent and diligent White people.” He praised their city of Frankfurt as one where “there are no slothful and degenerate Blacks and Mexicans and Perto Ricans (sic) lurking in the shadows everywhere with their wine and heroin and knives”
Judge Philpot’s association with, and tepid disavowal of an unmitigated racist, combined with his own racial prejudices as revealed in the heat of legal argument and his extrajudicial writings, would lead many people to conclude that he is privately sympathetic to such views.

Tim Philpot says he is not heterosexual - then what?

Poem Timmy P wrote a poem:  Being gay is so passé, And hetero is retro. Nowadays, one swings both ways, To stay “de rigueur” in the Metro! Relax Nosario, I’m not throwing open the closet doors. What I’m saying here is that God doesn’t care about gonads and chromosomes. When we sit on his lap, our sexuality doesn’t matter one iota. When he sees our hearts and minds and souls, we are all hermaphrodites in his eyes.   Therefore, spiritually speaking our gender and sexual identity is meaningless. Unless we want to perform a legal commitment ceremony – then it becomes really important. I know it’s confusing but there’s probably an appendix in the bible that explains it.

Attitude towards successful men: Part 1

Image
It is difficult to convincingly label Judge Philpot as either misogynist or anti-male through his public actions because there are more subtle layers of bias underlying his decisions in individual cases. His dichotomous attitude towards women has already been explored from the Madonna/Whore complex perspective in this blog: ( http://judgephilpot.blogspot.com/2017/01/dichotomy-in-judge-philpots-attitude.html ). Judge Philpot’s conscious and subconscious attitudes are not doubt shaped by his own conflicted upbringing, which he freely discusses in nearly every public speech.   His latest book (Judge Z) provides glaring and inescapable truths about his attitude to other men, particularly in the context of their ethnicity and his perception of their material success or achievement. Almost every male character who is not firmly on the judge’s team ideologically speaking, is portrayed negatively and only one achieves any kind of redemption. The males who are not White, Anglo-Saxo

God’s booty call Tim Philpot is a judge in Fayette County Family Court, Lexington Kentucky. This video is an audio recording of a speech he gave to a religious business group in Belfast Northern Ireland on September 12th 2016. While some of the statements might be regarded as merely odd by many people, many criminal justice and mental health professionals may recognize some themes as classical forms of “grooming” carried out by religious authority figures who abuse their victims by blurring the distinctions between worship and sexual subjugation, and between   passion and eroticism.
