Ivy League Prof Calls Ben Carson a ‘Coon’
National Review ^ | 10/6/15 | Katherine Timpf

Posted on 10/07/2015 6:02:52 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

A professor at the University of Pennsylvania called presidential candidate Ben Carson a “coon” because he said he’s cool with NASCAR flying Confederate flags during races if that’s what its fans want.

“If only there was a ‘coon of the year’ award . . .” Religious Studies professor Anthea Butler tweeted last Tuesday in response to a tweet sharing a Sports Illustrated article about Carson’s comments. Her post has since been deleted, but not before a screenshot of it was captured, according to an article in Campus Reform.

Can you imagine if a professor from Hillsdale or Liberty University posted such a thing about Barack Hussein Obama?? The media would report on it 24/7 for a month!

After all the times white leftists have called a black conservative “coon” or “Uncle Tom”, this won’t even be a blip on the media’s radar. They still excoriate Clarence Thomas, and he keeps one of the lowest profiles of anyone in public life. They will never forgive him or let up on him for being a conservative black SC justice, and they never forget or let the public forget (or any other black conservatives, as an example to them of what they are in for).

If Carson wins the presidency, we will see 8 years of racist vitriol from the left like never before.

That would be a coon skin cap, which would be appropriate for a coon hunter.

Justice Thomas was just the warm up act.

Everyone should send her a Daniel Boone coonskin hat .... then again, the DOJ might prosecute people doing this as a hate crime.

Has anybody even used that term in the last 30 years to refer to something besides an actual raccoon?

Hey, for eight years we heard liberals calling GWB a 'chimp', so I suppose it's ok to refer to Obama as a porch monkey?

Somebody help me out here.
