Not expecting much in the way of real outrage (there's enough of it on the conservo sites already), but I'm surprised I didn't see this first on NSR.

Google that and "Anthea Butler" and see what your favorite media site reports, or doesn't report...

Thank God I got a great institution that takes care of me. I have tenure. I can't get fired.

In the prog world (well, alternate, very screwed-up, universe), it is not only completely acceptable to denigrate conservative blacks for their skin color, it is mandatory. Carson came from an impoverish inner city upbringing and rose to heights beyond what all of us on this forum have. That destroys the prog narrative that blacks cannot make it in this country due to racism and that only progs can give them a chance. If blacks finally see through this and see what 50 years of prog "help" has done to them, they will become Republicans. Progs, therefore, go all out to destroy black conservatives so they can keep blacks poor, dumb and voting for progs.

When I first saw the headline Friday and googled to verify it, I was surprised it had not received a little more coverage in the mainstream press, especially from one her employers (MSNBC) distancing themselves from it. All the google hits were second-tier sites and lower.

I just thought the general blogosphere would be making a universal condemnation of the statement and calling for her removal from UPenn.

So, this post has been up for a week, with nobody from the usual "left of center" denouncing her remarks or calling for her head and her job.

I left it deliberately vague last week to see who would google it, and hopefully comment on the sites where it was found. But this is it in a nutshell:

Tenured University of Pennsylvania Religious Studies Professor Anthea Butler, who has a history of making derogatory and racially fueled comments, is now under fire for suggesting Dr. Ben Carson deserves a "coon of the year award" for his support of flying the Confederate Flag on private property. She made the suggestion on Twitter last week.

"If only there was a 'coon of the year' award..." Professor Butler tweeted in response to another tweet linking to a Sports Illustrated article in which Carson was quoted defended the right of NASCAR fans to fly Confederate flags during races.



So, I'm offering $20 to the first person who can post links to a traditionally non-conservative media personality or outlet that has denounced her comments, plus a $20 bonus if it's from an official spokesperson at MSNBC or University of Pennsylvania.

Good luck. I didn't even see a liberal site in the first 20 google hits searching for "coon of the year" (posts in past month) other than this one defending her.

LOL. It can be paid in cold hard cash, CoasterBux, or Indian Rupees if I can get a good exchange rate from my coworkers.

Coasters will cost me more because I will have to drink too.

If Kanye wins, he picks up our tab.

This link does not count.

Have those people denounced Butler's comments, or are you saying they are worthy of their own negative award?

The prize I'm offering requires links to a site where one of these personalities has denounced Butler's comments, but I'll still buy you a beer for calling a douche a douche.

No expiration date on that.

How many news outlets would have covered it, if say Rush were the one to have said such a thing? The outrage would be pretty funny actually; I wonder how many people would break fingers on their keyboards, furiously blogging.

That would have been newsworthy.
This, not so much.

for bonus points, why?
What are the two big differences between Anthea Butler and Rush?
