Judge Tim Philpot was a racist, and likely still is



Judge Tim Philpot has no qualms enjoying Asian hospitality as he preaches to the “Oriental people” during his many trips abroad. At home however, he thinks they don’t care what’s right or wrong and are incapable of understanding the truth. The newspaper article quoted below should raise concerns for any minorities appearing in his courtroom:

Lexington Herald-Leader (KY) October 8, 1994 Section: CITY/STATE Edition: FINAL Page: C3
CHALLENGER SAYS PHILPOT MADE RACIST REMARKS
BRENDA RIOS, HERALD-LEADER STAFF WRITER
State Sen. Tim Philpot prides himself on a successful record as a civil rights attorney, but his opponent in the 12th District race said Philpot is a hypocrite because of racially offensive statements he made during a 1993 divorce case. A tape of a court case in which Philpot represents a man divorcing his Korean wife shows the Lexington Republican criticizing Asians for being incapable of understanding the truth.
"I hate to say this because I will be accused at some point in my lifetime of probably making some sort of racially derogatory statement, and this is not what I intended to do whatsoever, Your Honor, but I do think there is a mind- set among the Oriental people, and I've had lots of them as clients, they do not understand the truth," Philpot said during closing arguments of the divorce case in June 1993.
"I think they don't sit down and think about what is the truth and what is the standard here of what is right and wrong," Philpot said. "They say whatever they think is going to help them at the time."
 Paula Raines, an attorney who represented the wife in the divorce case said, "For someone who holds himself out as a civil rights attorney, he made some incredibly racist statements."

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
