Show of hands: Who thinks MSNBC will discontinue its relationship with
Anthea Butler?

No one? Hmmm... you're probably right.


ProfB @AntheaButler

If only there was a "coon of the year" award...

Dr. Ben Carson deserves a "'coon of the year' award," says a tweet from
Anthea Butler, a University of Pennsylvania Religious Studies professor
and a frequent MSNBC guest.

Butler's revealing invective was in response to a tweet from Daily Beast
editor-at-large Goldie Taylor. That tweet highlighted a Sports
Illustrated article in which Carson championed Americans' right to fly
flags on private property-- including the Confederate flag-- that other
Americans see as a symbol of hate.

Prof. Justin McDaniel, chairman of the University of Pennsylvania's
Religious Studies program, did not repond to Butler's tweet but said she
is a "valued colleague and faculty member".

Who is shocked at yet another display of liberal hypocrisy that allows
Butler to refer to Carson as a "coon"-- and nonetheless have the
University of Pennsylvania department chairman praise her as a "valued
colleague"? Had the same comment been directed at President Obama or any
other black on the Left, the outrage would have been deafening and no
doubt someone would have lost their job before all was said and done.
Have we heard a peep from Al Sharpton condemning this comment from his
fellow MSNBCer?

And comedian Seth Meyers coincidentally just made a joke during his
monologue about Carson having "raccoon hands". Again, had this joke been
made about Obama, it would be condemned as a "coded dogwhistle". But as
we see over and over again, it's always "different" when progs do it.

Be serious... she'll be cut loose before the end of the week.

So, what have we learned today? How 'bout: "College Professors and
Brain Surgeons don't really have to be all that SMART to be
successful..."

What she needs to learn is how to say racist things without actually
SAYING racist things... like Rupert Murdoch.

A "real black President"... now, THAT'S how to be a racist, and not get
dinged for it!

Butler could learn a thing or two from the founder of Fox News.

I should have known better than to believe something about race that
YOU posted.

Butler did no such thing. She didn't call Ben Carson ANYTHING. That's
a complete lie.

You picked up a lie, and ran it as the truth - as you've done so many
times before... and I should have known better.

Now all I have to do is decide whether you're just stupid, or a piece
of shit who knew he was lying.

Or, maybe I'll just split the difference, and go with stupid lying

You've got to be kidding me. Change "Carson" to "Obama" in this story
and tell me with a straight face you'd accept this sort of weaselly
excuse and spin. At a minimum, you'd be lathered up about "pig whistles"

Let's get this straight. Did you, or did you not post:

> Dr. Ben Carson deserves a "'coon of the year' award," says a tweet from
> Anthea Butler, a University of Pennsylvania Religious Studies professor
> and a frequent MSNBC guest.

Yes, or no?

Because if you did (and you certainly DID)... it was a lie. Whoever
you got the info from was lying about it.

Now, you can either admit that it wasn't accurate, and that Butler did
no such thing... or you can double-down and repeat the lie again.

If you still contend that it's NOT a lie, then produce the evidence.
Produce the tweet where she says "Ben Carson deserves a "coon of the
year award."

But that's not going to happen, is it? Because it doesn't exist. It
NEVER existed. It was a fabrication... a twisting of her words.

I am curious, when she is not calling our peaceful neighbors demeaning despicable names, has *Professor Anthea Butler* ever addressed America's expanding and shameful *National Epidemic of Child Abuse and Neglect,* aka *Poverty*, that for decades has deprived untold numbers of depressed children from experiencing and enjoying a safe, fairly happy American kid childhood.

Is Professor Anthea Butler aware that child victims of America's expanding and shameful *National Epidemic of Child Abuse and Neglect,* aka *Poverty*, often develop into angry, frustrated, unpredictable, emotionally depressed teens and adults lacking empathy and compassion for their peaceful neighbors, because their lives suck so why shouldn't their neighbor's lives suck too!

Does Professor Anthea Butler recognize there is a substantial population of young immature teen girls and women creating life before acquiring the skills, PATIENCE and means to properly raise, nurture and supervise a developing young child who matures into a fairly happy teen and adult enjoying safe streets to play on or travel.

Is Professor Anthea Butler one of many highly educated Americans who hold blameless young immature teen moms for failing and emotionally harming their children...while the police, criminal justice and correctional systems are charged with protecting peaceful people from depressed, angry, frustrated, unpredictable teens and adults who were victims of EARLY childhood abuse and/or neglect at the hands of immature, impatient teen girls, young women and/or irresponsible men?

What is Professor Anthea Butler opinion of the May 2015 NYTimes article *Rise in Suicide by Black Children Surprises Researchers*?
By SABRINA TAVERNISE

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/19/health/suicide-rate-for-black-children-surged-in-2-decades-study-says.html

Has Professor Anthea Butler ever asked herself, "Who is responsible for physically and/or emotionally traumatizing children to the point young kids believe their lives are not worth living?"

Speaking At The Eulogy For The Honorable Reverend Clementa Pinckney, President Barack Obama asked:

*"Perhaps it causes us to examine what we're doing to cause some of our children to hate?"* (Applause.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T_GwYI7MnQ

I am still waiting for Mr. Obama to provide the American people with an answer to his question.

Does Professor Anthea Butler share Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke's sound advice offered to all Americans, *"Fix the ghetto!"*?

No, it wasn't. The whole "she didn't actually say those exact words" is
nothing but after-the-fact spin designed to rehabilitate this hateful
bitch. It's clear to anyone with a brain what she was referring to.

As I said, replace "Carson" with "Obama" in this story, and make the
Tweeter someone like Ted Cruz and there's no way in hell you'd accept
this excuse.

You're trying to float another false equivalency: Blacks can call each
other certain names that whites can't use. Why? Because one cannot apply
the same criteria to both sides when judging because only one side was
the victim of slavery and the legacy thereof. It's up to blacks to sort
out whether it's appropriate for them to call each other nigger and
coon. Not you and not any other white person.

Wrong. Calling Obama racist names and making racist references about him
has been common since he became a national figure. The Left will often
react when a national figure does it, but Anthea Butler is a nobody, and
the Left doesn't react when nobodies on the Right make racist comments
about Obama because it happens daily.

It's an easy one... either YES, or NO. Either she said what you

Why can't you answer a simple question? Why dodge it, if you're not lying?

Was what you said TRUE, or was it FALSE?

For the record, I thought it was a racist comment... but that doesn't
change the fact that Butler said WHAT SHE SAID - not what the
Right-wing WANTED her to say.

It's a simple matter of telling the truth. The comment was bad
enough... but that doesn't satisfy the wingnuts.
They need to make it worse. They need to make it into something that
THEY want it to be.

It's not enough to be the truth... it has to conform to their narrative.

Oh, I absolutely agree... and she should be roundly criticized for such
a shitty statement.

It's not OK to make it worse by lying about it, though. It's already
bad enough without having to make it any worse.

It's a real shit sandwich... but it's not going to taste any worse if

According to "Barb May", what you think doesn't matter since you're not

Carson is, and he said it's wildly inappropriate. Since he's black, his

Carson's disagreement has been noted, but he doesn't speak for all
blacks, or even a majority of blacks. His support among blacks is less
than 2%. Therefore his opinon as to what is appropriate for blacks to
call each other carries no weight.

That's fine. For this to be valid, though, you will have to list in
great detail when Barb May is the go to person for such opinons and when
she isn't. Unless you do, your opinion of what she has to say isn't
valid either.

Then, if you were talking to Barb, you would have a point.

No, it doesn't. Carson can disagree. Carson can condemn. But Carson
doesn't get to decide what is appropriate for all blacks.

And since the comment was directed at Carson, his opinion is more valid
than "the majority of blacks" that aren't involved in the incident at
all.

And when was the vote taken such that we know what "the majority of
blacks" believe on this subject?

No, it's their hypocrisy that's to be despised-- making millions and
cozying up to Wall Street, all while decrying them and the other rich
folks for their wealth in order to win votes from the terminally stupid
who don't see through their charade.

So being a good capitalist is only something to be ashamed of if you
don't like the person's politics.

Umm... no. I clearly said that being a capitalist is only something to
be ashamed of at a Democrat debate.

So you actually think that Carson gets to decide for all blacks whether
any black person can refer to any other black as a "coon." Could you
possibly be more full of shit?

It is. Reagan's "trickle down" economics is the reason.
