Tim and the funeral for Chaz Black



Judge Tim Philpot has an unfortunate habit of gloating at funerals. In addition to the funeral for RJ Corman described in his autobiographical novel (see earlier post), he narrates the memorial service for a black character “Chad” (identifiable as the real life Chaz Black) at Consolidated Baptist Church, 1625 Russell Cave Rd in Lexington.

 “The funeral for Chad had been quite an event last year. Consolidated Missionary Baptist Church was packed with four hundred people. It was Sunday best for most folks. Pastor Arthur McGaffrey started by asking everyone who was carrying a gun to come put it on the altar. No one did. It was the only funeral the judge ever attended where the deceased was barely mentioned. The service instead was a passionate plea against violence and guns. Chad had never even been in the church. Too late now.”

Here is another mention of the same funeral:

“During the funeral for Black at Consolidated Baptist Church with a crowd overflowing out the door, I wept again as a tearful Joyce Black, Chaz’s paternal grandmother pleaded for the young people, “for Chaz’s sake,” to stop the violence.”

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
