"Ivy League Prof Calls Ben Carson a ‘Coon’"

University of Pennsylvania’s Anthea Butler has also called God a “white racist.”
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.
Something must have led this professor believe she could get away with that kind of barb against a distinguished African American.

Well, leftists can get away with their aberrant racism now can't they? Is she going to resign? Will there be calls for her resignation? Will she be fired? Will she see any punishment at all for what she has said? Anything? Hello? Bueller? Bueller.....?

It's 'okay' because Anthea Butler is black.

Hold them to their own rules. Even if they're stupid rules.

"Coon" sounds like a racial slur but it's really homophonic praise. I wouldn't mind being called a "kuhn," as in Thomas Kuhn -- nor should any black person.

That's harsh. As harsh as brillo.

chick, When baseball players like Lou Pinella would come to bat fans would yell, "Loooou." And the radio announcer would remind folks they weren't booing Pinella, they were yelling his first name. Now, when John Kuhn of the Packers gets the ball, the fans yell, "Kuuuuhn." In Indiana and other KKK strongholds they yell that when Eddie Lacy gets the ball.

BTW, I speak as someone who could be called "brillo-haired."

Big head or little head? Stupid question, all men have little head brillo hair. Never mind.

Hey, ease up now. She's just doing her part to educate Americans about the vile, hateful hypocrisy of identity politics. Keep on professin', St. Anthea of the Mysteriously Tenured. PREACH!

So that's why your Nixon is so spot on.
