Ivy League Prof Calls Ben Carson a ‘Coon’
National Review ^ | 10/6/15 | Katherine Timpf

Posted on 10/07/2015 6:02:52 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

A professor at the University of Pennsylvania called presidential candidate Ben Carson a “coon” because he said he’s cool with NASCAR flying Confederate flags during races if that’s what its fans want.

“If only there was a ‘coon of the year’ award . . .” Religious Studies professor Anthea Butler tweeted last Tuesday in response to a tweet sharing a Sports Illustrated article about Carson’s comments. Her post has since been deleted, but not before a screenshot of it was captured, according to an article in Campus Reform.

Liberals have a vested interest in keeping racial stereotypes front and center.

Doctor Carson is a honorable man, this “professor” well she is a worthless bag of dog vomit.

Looks like Dr. Carson is going to be “Cained” (Hermann Cain)

Whether you support Dr. Carson or not, this needs to be countered aggressively.

That was ugly and wrong, but how is Carson even IN the running??? What's he going to do with ISIS, tell them a cute joke and beg them not to cut off any more Christian heads? "pretty please, with sugar on it? "

We need a bull dozer like Trump to slap down the Rinos and undo the mess that Omuslim made that has almost destroyed America.

I'd go for a Trump/Allen West ticket, but CARSON IS NO ALLEN WEST!!

Dr. Carson has dared to "step away from the Democrat plantation" and their true condescending racism will be seen.

I live in rural southern Missouri and I he answer is no.

I never hear “nigger” anymore except by blacks.

Sorry to tell the race baiters but cultural racism on behalf of whites towards blacks has been dead for many years. Now black on white racism is getting ginned up since the Obama administration has decided it needed a distraction for other nefarious actions.

What a shame! That loony Lamont Hill that OReally brownied up to frequently used to be ensconced at U Penn, too. Some of the drivel that came out of HIS pie hole made Juan Williams actually look sensible. Then he moved on to some other Ivy League ivory tower in New England. I was ashamed of Penn because of Hill. And now here comes THIS sweet darlin’ mental paragon.

Concur with your thoughts. I am more inclined to a Trump / Cruz ticket myself.
Eight years of Trump with eight subsequent years of Cruz could help undo some of this damage!

Wow. The affirmative action “professors” sure get their panties in a bunch when a black guy rises to the top of his game without being propped up because of his color.

That statement will be blown off by the MSM as ‘oh, isn’t that funny?”
