Ivy League professor calls God a 'racist' after Zimmerman verdict

An Ivy League professor blogged after George Zimmerman was found not guilty of murdering Trayvon Martin that the verdict shows God is a “white racist” who stalks “young black men.”

Anthea Butler, an associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Department of Religious Studies, made the unusual comments in a blog post released on Monday on ReligionDispatches.org, where she is a regular contributor.

“God ain’t good all of the time. In fact, sometimes, God is not for us,” she wrote in the post. “As a black woman in an [sic] nation that has taken too many pains to remind me that I am not a white man, and am not capable of taking care of my reproductive rights, or my voting rights, I know that this American god ain’t my god.

“As a matter of fact, I think he’s a white racist god with a problem. More importantly, he is carrying a gun and stalking young black men,” she added.

Butler adds that Trayvon Martin’s killing was the result of racism that was influenced by Christianity.

You double posted... I assumed being a professor at an Ivy League University meant something. Obviously not so much. Very Respectfully, the Lord of Bagram.

The USofA is so horrible that Professor Butler should leave her well-remunerated sinecure and go somewhere where she is more comfortable.

“Anthea Butler, an associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Religious Studies” is more accurately described as:
Anthea Butler, an associate professor, and an affirmative action hire, at the University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Religious Studies”.

“In his right hand he held seven stars, and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. “

His Word.

And yes, you can get that, quite easily, at any Christian book store.

God is a Racist?? Excuse me, did you interview him? I guess Satan is happy you called GOD a racist, since Satan doesn't need to buy your soul.

When did the IVY Schools stop being sensible?
