Tim to "the blacks" : Stop killing each other



Judge Timothy Philpot addresses the concerns of the Black Lives Matter movement in his autobiographical novel: https://www.amazon.com/Judge-Irretrievably-Broken-Tim-Philpot/dp/0692634967                      

In the book his alter ego and hero , Judge Z, muses:

"Judge Z had seen them all in court. All the signs of a bad outcome were there. The gang tats, the drooping pants hanging so low it looked like they had repealed the law of gravity, the hoodies and white T-shirts, the gang signs they flashed to each other. All were black. All were killed by other young black men. ... Every year more young black men were murdered in Lexington. All by other black kids. Not by cops. But the cops were always the targets of protests and accusations about police brutality and excessive force."

Broad stereotyping, in this instance, racial stereotyping, is improper on its face and represents an overly-simplistic way of looking at serious issues that, in real life, have nuance. To imply that the wearing of white T-shirts and hoods by black people are predictable “signs of a bad outcome” is racial profiling at best. Any young African-American male in Judge Philpot’s court who does not meet his standard of sartorial panache is likely to be at a disadvantage.

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
