U Penn Professor Calls Ben Carson ‘Coon of the Year’ on Twitter

University of Pennsylvania professor of religion recently called African-American presidential candidate Ben Carson a “coon” on Twitter.

Anthea Butler used the racist term in a tweet responding to a Sports Illustrated article on how Carson didn’t mind NASCAR fans flying the Confederate flag on private property. “If only there was a ‘coon of the year’ award…” she lamented.

Her picture reminds me of this story:

911 Caller: “I want to report a coon on my roof!”

911 Operator: “Do you mean a raccoon or a Ni@@er?”

911 Caller: “I mean a raccoon, this is a Ni@@er calling!”

The good Doctor must be bothering some people a lot. Fortunately, his advanced study of neuroscience must help him understand these losers

Well it does seem we have quite enough reason with this twatette and the stink of Jerry Sandusky to shut down the State of Pennsylvania. I was in Chicago at a continue ed class a few years back and came upon one of the most stupid women I had ever met in my life, Blanche from Pennsylvania, Absolute looney liberal, worshipped Hillary Clinton and believed every word. This woman was a half-baked cake. Sorry to any Freepers in PA. Holy LORD that woman was stupid.

Er, no Ms Butler, “they be young black men carrying a gun and stalking OTHER BLACK MEN!”

Tenure; a sin committed on society that prevents the firing of the inept, unsatisfactory, low performing, unreliable, dickheads that work in our schools.

If I were King, “tenure” would be the first to the Guillotine!

“A “Professor of Religion” at an Ivy League University calls a prominent black neurosurgeon a “coon” “

Johns Hopkins may be the top medical research university in the world. Eat a turd, UP!

That poor woman French kissed a light socket.

That would be much more understandable than the fact that she actually paid for and chose to wear that wig. What a matchup Carson who has the brain of Surgeon vs Butler who has the brain of a Sturgeon.

That’s wrong and ugly to say that, but I do think Repugs think we need him to show ‘we not RAY-cess.’

He’s nothing but another weak RiNO.

I’d go for a Trump/ West ticket.
But Carson is no Allen West!

Doctor Ben Carson is a viable candidate for the Republican Party after Donald Trump. He is soft spoken and intelligent. He shows refinement. He well could end up to be the Republican candidate and that is what scares the liberals. That is why they are trying to belittle his character. It won’t work!

The more goofballs like this woman try to take him down, the more his name will get to be known, perhaps enough to even eclipse Donald Trump in the primary. He could well draw my vote.

If she'd just said Coon ass she would have gotten away with it. She is too stupid to know that Coon Ass is an affectionate and descriptive term of people living in a certain region of Louisiana.

Re #2 and her photo.

Looks like she wrassled with a raccoon and the raccoon won.

Or, she ate it and skinned it for a hat.

I wonder what church she goes to, “The Church of I’m Gonna Get Mine Now”, “The Church of Perpetual Sorrow” (Eric Idle), or “Church’s Chicken”.

Apparently she is to religious as Joseph Goebbels was to communications.
