Welcome to the world of Anthea Butler, Associate Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Pennsylvania and author of The Gospel According to Sarah: How Sarah Palin and Her Tea Party Angels are Galvanizing the Religious Right.
“As a wiser, older professor looking at the needless death of Trayvon Martin, I have to say: God ain’t good all of the time. In fact, sometimes, God is not for us. As a black woman in a nation that has taken too many pains to remind me that I am not a white man, and am not capable of taking care of my reproductive rights, or my voting rights, I know that this American god ain’t my god. As a matter of fact, I think he’s a white racist god with a problem. More importantly, he is carrying a gun and stalking young black men.
When George Zimmerman told Sean Hannity that it was God’s will that he shot and killed Trayvon Martin, he was diving right into what most good conservative Christians in America think right now. Whatever makes them protected, safe, and secure, is worth it at the expense of the black and brown people they fear.
Their god is the god that wants to erase race, make everyone act “properly” and respect, as the president said, “a nation of laws”; laws that they made to crush those they consider inferior.
Those of us who teach American Religion have a responsibility to tell all of the story, not just the nice touchy-feely parts. When 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.”
Sounds like the “good” professor, Bless her Heart, has a really big chip on her should and has spent far too much time worshipping at the altar of Jeremiah Wright. She obviously has no concept of what Christianity entails.
God created all the races on the 6th day and he was well pleased with his creation. But, I doubt he is pleased today. People on the far left fringes, like Professor Butler, Al Sharpton and Jeremiah Wright would like nothing better than to start a race war regardless of the consequences to the people she claims to care so much about.
Once again, these far-left fringe nuts show their true colors. They hate America, and they hate whites making them just as big a racist as the KKK. But, in our distorted world, it is okay to be racist, as long as you’re black.
