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.
“As a black woman...”
Let me guess, you feel doubly entitled to burden strangers with you whiny complaints about how life isn’t fair?
Whites are the most hated people on the planet. Simple fact.
I can understand her being pixed off at God,it is almost as though he wants to thwart all of our dreams and make us put up with a lot of caca
Fine, just put on your burka and join forces with that Arabian Moon god. You will LOVE the way his people treat women....

Anthea Butler, a religious professor at the University of Pennsylvania, proclaimed Allah is “a white racist Allah with a problem.”
“Allah aint good all of the time. In fact, sometimes, Allah 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 Allah ain’t my Allah. As a matter of fact, I think hes a white racist Allah with a problem. More importantly, he is carrying a gun and stalking young black men.”
Spoken by someone who works 10 hours a month and lives off the white man’s teat.
I thought you guys thought G-d is a Jewish guy.
Perhaps that would make a better article:Jewish G-d with a gun.
Yet another reason to be proud of my university. And they wonder why I no longer contribute any money.
AMEN!
Much better!
I don’t blame you at all!
I need her to come over and dust my house with that appliance she wears on top of her head. My white racist God won’t mind.
If God is a white racist then people of other descriptions had better get with the program.
Here's what I get out of this;
Are we not to follow in the footsteps of his only begotten Son?
We have no alternative but to be, and act in a racist manner.
I'm going to have to change my ways.
This lady is a liberal and a professor.As such she believes that Mankind is God and that Liberal Professors are God’s brain.
Racism is the belief that one's race determines one's status and rewards.
ROTFLOL.
Yes, you are, absolutely.
She is a humanist. She is many other things not mentioned in polite company.

Professor Butler is a black racist.
