University of Pennsylvania’s Anthea Butler has also called God a “white racist.”

Butler is hardly a new to making inflammatory comments on Twitter. In 2013, she declared that God is a “white racist . . . carrying a gun and stalking young black men.” When controversy ensued, she responded by bragging at the Harlem Book Fair that she had tenure and therefore couldn’t be fired.

“A “Professor of Religion” at an Ivy League University calls a prominent black neurosurgeon a “coon” and it is fine with the University and with liberals.”

Liberals always excuse each other when they exceed the behavioral, moral and ethical boundaries that apply to the rest of us because they know other liberals mean well and their motivation is pure.

Isn’t the reference to an American of African origin as a “coon” supposed to be a rather derogatory term? Right up there with the “N” word.

But then what do we call those furry creatures with the hands and the bandit masks and the ringed tails?

Oh, where are you, Walt Kelly?

Would the Cabbage Patch doll be interested in her job, by any chance?

I think time spent in a cardboard box in the attic would probably give it equal qualifications.

Rate My Professor:

“She is more interested in imposing her opinion and making sure white guilt is felt than actually teaching anything. Made consistent errors that could be pinpointed by her students and took herself so seriously that she would get angry if you questioned her and would insinuate that racism/sexism was the “real” reason why you raised a question.”

“Pathetic. This teacher is pathetically bad at her supposed job. Do not give this untalented instructor any more classes. Bad.”

“its an embarassment to the RS department that this loudmouth idiot with crazy Don King hair is the head chair. Worst Professor ive ever known or heard of. her opinions are poorly substantiated and academically unsound to say the least mostly due to her afrocentric presuppositional bias which makes her narrow-minded.Avoid her at all cost!”

“She is an awful teacher who thinks that she knows everything when half of the time she is making mistakes in the names of the things she is trying to teach! I’m a student and even I can see her mistakes! She takes herself way too seriously, and her TAs are awful! Her and her TAs are very harsh graders, beware!”

She somehow expects such words to advance or help black people?

The university endorses racist rantings from their staff?

My gosh... Dr. Carson should be considered a role model for people of any color. Not my candidate, but respect him greatly.

That Bio reads “Affirmative Action” in spades (yes, pun intended).

Those degrees are as made up as basketweaving.

Well, one is a token and the other is a real life doctor with brains. Liberals and universities obviously can't distinguish the difference.

"The Ivy League professor later boasted that she couldn’t be fired for anything she said because she had tenure."

Ivy League professor. That explains everything.
