Anthea Butler, a religion professor at the University of Pennsylvania, sent out a tweet that was an attempt to insert racial animus into the VMAs (Video Music Awards) but ended up not really making any sense. She later deleted it, citing she didn’t “have time for BS.”

After Reading Her Tweet, You’ll Understand Why an Ivy League Professor Deleted This Racial Comment on the VMAs

An Ivy League professor turned to Twitter Sunday night to make a racial comment referencing the MTV Video Music Awards — then deleted her tweet moments later.

“First they shootin us in the streets, and then they taking all the video awards for sorry songs y’all,” wrote Anthea Butler, an associate professor of religious studies at the University of Pennsylvania.

Butler made her comment after singer Ariana Grande — who is of Italian descent — won a VMA. Moments later, after coming under fire, she deleted it claiming she doesn’t “have time for BS.”
