wmw999 2,588 #4 October 8, 2015 Man, a trifecta! She's black, educated, and probably a Yankee! She said something dumbass, and got called on it. Interesting how she hasn't actually done anything that can impact him, like, say, stop him disproportionately for DWB, or given good grades only to black students. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

You make the point of the thread Wendy Since she went after Carson, a Republican, she gets a pass.

wmw999 2,588 #6 October 8, 2015 No she doesn't. There's publicity about it, with plenty of it negative. Were you hoping for jail? Public lashing? Summary firing, with the proceedings released to the public? Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

Summary firing, with the proceedings released to the public? Wendy P. I am not hoping for anything I think it is bs either way but, for reference, re-read your own post. Edited to add you know damned well if this had been a white prof AND was a Christian the radical left and its media would be calling for her to get fired!! Maybe that will come I am not hoping for that"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

wmw999 2,588 #8 October 8, 2015 Don't worry. There will be people who call for her firing. However, that won't be news at the sites you tend to frequent.

wmw999 2,588 #10 October 8, 2015 I tend to use google, dz.com and Wikipedia to start with.

turtlespeed 226 #11 October 8, 2015 Question . . . Do you not find it at least a little bit interesting that only places like the Dailey Caller, breitbart, Fox News, and the national review have anything at all to say about this? How would you expect the mainstream outlets like ABC, CBS, NBC, if those words that Butler spouted, were said about Obama?I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In all fairness, it is a bit convoluted and I am not surprised that only the right wing media is carrying this. It is a bit of a stretch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanG 1 #17 October 8, 2015 I suspect if a black religious studies professor no one had ever heard of said Obama should get the "coon of the year award" on some second rate talk show, the news would cover it just as closely. What she said was offensive. It isn't really news, though. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
