Judge Philpot's welfare queen
Tim’s African
American Wife
On July 28th Judge Philpot states that his wife is
“African-American” despite her looks, basing this claim on her time spent
preaching to “pygmies in the Congo.” While such expressed affinity with black
people may be heart-warming to some, it is wrong to equate the experience of
those Americans whose ancestors were caged, raped and worked to death (and who
subsequently endured generations of cruelty and injustice) with the experience
of Americans indulging their savior complex amongst the poor, benighted
denizens of the dark continent. Especially when one’s ancestors may have been
the oppressors.
