Prof. Anthea Butler<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The mainstream media and the Obama administration\u2019s active fomenting of racial tension and hatred following the George Zimmerman not-guilty verdict has led to some bizarre public outbursts, including a recent deranged blog posting published by a supposedly well-educated college professor.\u00a0University of Pennsylvania<\/i>\u00a0(UPenn) associate professor Anthea Butler recently spewed her obvious disagreement with the verdict by ranting online that God is a \u201cwhite racist\u201d who walks around with a gun \u201cstalking young black men.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Butler, who teaches at the UPenn Department of Religious Studies, went off on a disturbing tangent in her blog posting when she began to vomit her irrational beliefs about how God \u201cain\u2019t good all of the time,\u201d insinuating that because the Zimmerman verdict was not what she wanted, God is somehow evil. Butler proceeded in her posting to accuse God of not being \u201cfor\u201d black people in general because of the verdict, making sure to also blame Christians for Trayvon Martin\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAs 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,\u201d gushes Butler. \u201cWhen the good Christians of America are some of its biggest racists, one has to consider our moral responsibility to call out those who clearly are not for human flourishing, no matter what ethnicity a person is.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Butler goes on and on to decry white people, Christians, all Americans that are not black, and of course God in her lunatic diatribe against essentially all of non-black humanity, illustrating how completely off her rocker she truly is. Not only did the Zimmerman trial have absolutely nothing to do with white Christians \u2014 Zimmerman, after all, is actually part Hispanic, for anyone that actually cares \u2014 but the verdict itself was determined based on the evidence, or lack thereof, that was presented during the trial.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cNo amount of heartbreak over the Zimmerman acquittal justifies these hateful posts,\u201d wrote Josiah Ryan, editor-in-chief of the UPenn paper\u00a0Campus Reform<\/i>, in an editorial about Butler\u2019s unhinged pontification. \u201cProfessor Butler\u2019s remarks were clearly designed to hurt when Americans needed healing and to divide when we needed unity.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIn tumultuous times students must be able to turn to their professors for calm and wisdom. In stoking the flames of hatred, Professor Butler has betrayed her students\u2019 trust. UPenn administrators out not to allow her back in the classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The real irony in Butler\u2019s rant is that it really only illustrates her own seething\u00a0racism\u00a0towards non-blacks, whom she fallaciously blames for all of the problems faced by what she presumptuously refers to as \u201cus,\u201d specifically African-Americans. And by somehow managing to drag God into the mix and labeling him as a racist, Butler proves that she has literally lost her grounding in reality.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to reports, Butler has not been able to be reached for comment following her irrational blog posting, which she gleefully followed up with hateful \u201ctweets\u201d suggesting that God is a member of the KKK. Not surprisingly, UPenn officials have also thus far refused to comment on the situation. – Natural News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
