While those on the left look to place blame for George Zimmerman’s acquittal in the death of Trayvon Martin, a radical professor said it’s because God is a white racist.
In an editorial published on Sunday, Anthea Butler, a religious professor at the University of Pennsylvania, proclaimed God is “a white racist god with a problem.”
“God aint good all of the time. In fact, sometimes, God is not for us. As a black woman in an 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 aint my god. As a matter of fact, I think hes a white racist god with a problem. More importantly, he is carrying a gun and stalking young black men.”
Butler, who accused Walmart of being sharecroppers and slave owners earlier this year, acts like the country is still in 1950s Mississippi when she said “most good conservative Christians in America think… whatever makes them protected, safe, and secure, is worth it at the expense of the black and brown people they fear.”
“Their god is the god that wants to erase race, make everyone act ‘properly’ and respect, as the president said, ‘a nation of laws’; laws that they made to crush those they consider inferior,” she continued.
Never mind that a black man, President Barack Obama, is charged with the execution of the law, and another black man, Attorney General Eric Holder, heads up the federal department responsible for the enforcement of the law.
Nonetheless, Butler asks: “Is God the old white male racist looking down from white heaven, ready to bless me if I just believe the white men like Rick Perry who say the Zimmerman case has nothing to do with race?”
Joining Texas Gov. Rick Perry in that opinion just happens to be the Federal Bureau of Investigations — which falls under Eric Holder. After an extensive investigation of the Trayvon Martin shooting in June 2012, the FBI concluded that there was no evidence to support Zimmerman acted out of racial hatred.
In drawing to a close, Butler is as divisive as she is politically expedient:
“As a historian of American and African-American religion, I know that the Trayvon Martin moment is just one moment in a history of racism in America that, in large part, has its underpinnings in Christianity and its history.”
Speaking of God, may He bless those with the misfortune of being students in her classroom.
She just been deloused?
Sorry Prof. you get an “F”, you may have a week or so to go back to the drawing board and try to improve your grade. This paper is in fact rubbish.
Reminds me of this video: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd7FixvoKBw&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DDd7FixvoKBw (Admin mod cc’d to zot if deemed not just hilarious but racist - but it is Commedy Central).
Im surprised she scored as HIGH as a 1.7 for clarity!
If Sharpton had ,a TWIN sister
They have some seriously good drugs at the University of Pennsylvania.
Oh look! It’s an African American.
Ouch!
What? Jantel’s mother? Stop it.
Thank you so much.
LOL. Of course.
Don’t leave it at that. Say it. God is a Jew. That is the truth. She studies religion and does not know this basic truth?
LOL. Exactly.
BTTT
Is that a white porcupine on her head?
Mark 3.29
“But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin”
According to Merriam - Webster dictionary the word “blasphemy” means:
“The act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for GOD; the act of claiming the attributes of deity; irreverence toward something considered sacred.”
Please pardon my classless and vulgar language but this biotch is on a fast track to the lake of fire.

Racism is genetically hard wired, a survival mechanism.
Diversity is an attempt to thwart the genetic hardwiring to preserve family and thus race
I’d like to sign up now for the Heavenly PPV when it’s her turn to get her “ticket punched” at the Pearly Gates.
It already does!

Now this “woman” may be a professor of religion, but there is no way on Gods green earth that it is a “Religious” Professor!
