Shockingly ugly - inside and out.

Anthea Butler, the Ivy League religious studies professor who called God a white racist after the Trayvon Martin verdict last week, doubled down on her statement and denounced the conservative media outlets that criticized her.
Butler, an associate professor of religious studies at the University of Pennsylvania, wrote a blog post for Religious Dispatches last week arguing that most Americans worship a “white racist god with a problem” who is “carrying a gun and stalking young black men.”
“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,” she wrote.

Therein lies the problem with many blacks: they require institutions to take care of them.
She’ll have the opportunity to say that to His face.
...Yikes...
“Thank God I got a great institution that takes care of me,” she said. “I have tenure. I can’t get fired.
&&&&
When I heard this professor say that she was being taken care of, my first thought was - doesn’t she realize that she is sounding like a person not in charge of her own life, and isn’t that what too many Americans with African heritage think is wrong with the white:black dynamic in our country.
She outs herself as one who enjoys being sheltered. Are all of the Board of trustees of the U of Penn. black? I don’t think so.
Yeah, makes you wonder how she would define the “hardships” she endured because she was “black”...
If God is racist, then why did he create people of all colors?
Who cares when a jackass or in this case, a Jenny brays.
People were probably of a rather homogeneous skin tone until Babel.
Kinda like the old adage, You cam make a whore out of a lady, but you can’t make a lady out of a whore” goes
Shockingly ugly - inside and out.
If that makes sense. It's just racist clap-trap coming from the makeshift pulpit of academic "religious studies" (and presumably free from the usual charges of church/state entanglement).
Think of Tammy Fay Bakker channeling Sista Soulja.
Tenure can be revoked for things like professional incompetence, neglect of duty, insubordination, conviction of a felony or any offense involving moral turpitude ... or sexual harassment or other conduct which falls below minimum standards of professional integrity.
That ‘do used to be known as a `bad explosion in a Brillo factory’.
I never heard of an associate professor with tenure. Might be true, but normally tenure is only given to those reaching the rank of full professor. Also she is a moron if she thinks she can’t get fired. I’ve personally known several tenured professors who got the boot for one reason or another. If someone above you wants you out and the faculty council goes along with it, you are out.
But isn’t he acknowledging the existence of God? Can’t he be fired for that?
Her UPenn students according to the few ratings of her at RateMyProfessor.com are decidedly unimpressed. She also gets a harsh review from one student at her previous gig at URochester.
I am intrigued by the lack of any mention of her time in Rochester in her current bio at UPenn. Does anyone have any info?
But you are NOT immune to "accidents", professor...
I have difficulty believing that an Associate Professor has ‘tenure’...
Bears repeating.
