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 ain’t 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 ain’t my god. As a matter of fact, I think he’s 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.
Anthea, kind of gives it away. I hate to prejudge but these alphabet names like ‘Shaneekwa’ somehow give the impression that they were raised not to work within the traditional American value system.
God is a spirit. Colorless.
Good lord...
Lisa Bloom is a Jewess daughter of that Jezebel Lawyer Gloria Allred!! Are they NOT white??
“God ain’t good all of the time.....

Not that that is the kind of English I would expect from an Ivy League University Department Head.
Also, how can you head the ‘Religious Department’ and NOT believe in God?
If she ‘believes’ in God she is surely mocking Him.
She is a member of that ‘new religious’ sect that has Pelosi and Biden and ‘the Kennedys’ etal as sacrament accepting Catholics, apparently the Hierarchy of the Church would rather have ‘Friends’ in High Places, than those that ‘follow the teachings’.
Is she a member of the “Whatz Happenin’ Now” church?
When people like her shout out”Oh my God!”,I always answer with “Mine too!”
I’m stuned, one of Holder’s people and a University Prof to boot would say that? /sarc :-)
She can always sue God and challenge Him before our Supreme Court.
He will probably lose and must face the consequences.
I’m pretty sure they would rule G-d has no standing.

Amazing a retard like this is teaching kids.
Fantastic vocabulary also.
Apparently the Devil is a hairdresser.
Not anymore.
Remember that He became man some 2000 years ago.
I will leave it at that.
God is a white racist.
And Santa Claus is a clan member!
Actually, Anthea comes from the Greek word ánthos, which means "blossom" or "flower." I have a wonderful friend named Anthea. who is 100 times smarter than that idiot "professor."
Whatever she makes its probably too much.
If Obama had a sister ...
The level of insanity on the left is truly Biblical. They have turned on God. Insanity does inevitably follow. (Again, that is Biblical.)
OK, I am going to be blunt here. If whites wanted to rule the world, we would. The whites in America would have sided with Germany in WWII, and that would have been that. Period.
The reality is that we want a world where people are judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. Apparently that is going to be denied us.
What follows will not be pretty.
Stupid doesnt get much Stupider than this.
Professor?? ha!!
