Rutgers Black Studies Professor: Christian Conservatives Worship ‘Asshole’ God and ‘White Supremacist Jesus’

She is quite an ugly bird

 Another open-minded and inclusive college professor is going around making blanket statements about huge groups of people and the religion they practice. [4] Just days before Easter, one professor took to the internet to blast Christian conservatives for inventing a “white supremacist Jesus.”  [1] According to Rutgers University professor Brittney Cooper, social conservatives cannot be true Christians because they do not see God as a leftist, politically correct activist.  [18]  In her ultra-liberal demented perspective, she sees the Jesus of conservatism as a white, blonde haired, gun-toting maniac who advances the gospel of white supremacy. [3] Rutgers University professor Brittney Cooper published a column for online magazine Salon excoriating supporters of Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Somehow, she interpreted the law to be not only anti-gay – as many of its opponents have characterized it – but also racist and sexist.  Along with accusing conservative Christians of racism, she proceeds to declare them homosexual bigots as well. [3] In her column she dubbed “religious freedom garbage”—and alleging that conservative Christians harbor “antagonistic” political views toward “every single group of people who are not white, male, Christian, cisgender, straight and middle-class.” [1] Cooper went to great lengths to discredit the religiosity of conservatives, slandering them as bigots as she participated in the manufactured hysteria surrounding the passage of Indiana’s RFRA. [3] “This kind of legislation is rooted in a politics that gives white people the authority to police and terrorize people of color, queer people and poor women,” she wrote. [2]

“Any time right-wing conservatives declare that they are trying to restore or reclaim something, we should all be very afraid,” Cooper wrote in reference to the controversial Indiana law that prevents the state from constraining individuals’ free exercise of religion without demonstrating a compelling government interest. [1] As usual with the Left, her accusations are unaccompanied with any proof supporting her claims. [3] According to Cooper, the law is the culmination of “conservative anxieties over the legalization of same-sex marriage in Indiana,” and will lead the state back to the “idyllic environs of the 1950s, wherein women, and gays, and blacks knew their respective places and stayed in them.” [2] Cooper says the Supreme Court’s ruling last June in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby—which allowed owners of closely held, for-profit corporations to seek exemptions from laws that violate their owners’ religious beliefs—provided the logic Indiana has used to “curtail and abridge” gay rights. [2] She also claims the Indiana law “sanctions the exercise of Islamophobia” and declares it a slippery slope that will lead to “racially inflected religious discrimination.”  [2] “Nothing about the cultural and moral regime of the religious right in this country signals any kind of freedom,” writes Cooper, adding that “this kind of legislation is rooted in a politics that gives white people the authority to police and terrorize people of color, queer people and poor women.”  [2] The self-proclaimed Christian professor says she often questions if she “worship[s] the same God of white religious conservatives,” who she describes as a “white, blond-haired, blue-eyed, gun-toting, Bible-quoting Jesus.”  “I call this god, the god of white supremacy and patriarchy,” Cooper writes.  [2] According to Cooper, “if your politics are rooted in the contemporary anti-Black, misogynist, homophobic conservatism, then we are not serving the same God.”  [2] That God, she claims, is “an asshole” with “nothing holy, loving, righteous, inclusive, liberatory theologically sound about him.”  [2] From there she wants to “reclaim the narrative of Jesus’ life and death from the evangelical right” who have conservatives have “pimped Jesus’ death” to support American imperialism, the subjugation of Black people and the regulation of the sexual lives of women and gay people. [8] Cooper concludes by encouraging others to declare “death to the unholy trinity of white supremacist, capitalist, heteropatriarchy” allegedly created by those on the Religious Right who “have pimped Jesus’ death” to support American imperialism, the subjugation of Black people and the regulation of the sexual lives of women and gay people. [2] [8]

Cooper, who teaches Women’s and Gender studies and Africana Studies at the publicly-funded university in New Brunswick, N.J., describes herself as a “next generation black intellectual.”  [1] THIS is the sort of “education” our taxes is paying for, folks. [12] The amount of straw man arguments, false projections, and defamation of those who’re supposed to be her brothers and sisters in Christ is ridiculous. Then again, what can we expect from a professor who teaches, ‘Africana,’ ‘gender and women’ studies? [3]  The “Jesus” Cooper describes worshipping sounds like a non-judgmental, sexually-confused, vegan radical  from the ‘Occupy Movement.’ I’d say that Cooper herself is guilty of the exact same crime that she accuses conservatives of being guilty of- creating a god in her own image, straight out of the sociology department.  [3] In this, the Iranian regime and the homosexualized Leftists share the same goal and they chant the same chant: ‘death to America!’  And they declare it openly.  History teaches that when a society and segment begin chanting death to a particular group – and they can get the state to accept and sanction their cause – persecution and genocide always result. [10]  Maybe one day some religiously trained seminarian will write up a compelling and thoughtful counterpoint to this obviously twisted piece of garbage that Salon chose to call an article. [4] Meanwhile, Rutgers did not return Campus Reform’s request for comment and went to Twitter to regurgitate her leftist garbage. [1]
