I know HuffPo is banned but this is a Breitbart article describing this article by the execreble "Doctor" Mark Lamont Hill (no relation to Lamont Sanford, who was a great guy).

Hill leverages his racism for money with Bill O'Reilly who I'm sure keeps him around as a source of controversy and thus revenue. He couches his core racism under a veneer of academia and a slimy personality, but this article shows just how hateful and clueless he really is.

But I guess this means it's OK to put out a list of "The Most Over-Rated Black People", and I know exactly who would be at the top of that list. And he'd have lots of company.

Anyone else notice that the subtle dehumanization of whites in this society is becoming a little less subtle each year?

Christopher Columbus, described as “an immoral treasure hunter” and a “vicious conquistador.”

I actually agree with this one, but not for the reasons given. It is more that he was a petty tyrant when given a chance to govern his own Carribean nation, and had to be removed by his peers. Basically, dude sucked.

Elvis Presley: a “cheap facsimile of Little Richard.”

I don't know about Little Richard, but there is no question Elvis ripped off black artists but passed himself off as an original.

Why does BOR keep having “Doctor” Hill on as a guest (His PHd is in African Studies”)? He’s a typical leftist clown.

Elvis sold ONE BILLION records. Not bad for a cheap imitation of Little Richard.

In contrast, Lamont Hill could not fill 20 seats in any lecture hall.

And Led Zeppelin ripped off blues artists...but who is remembered more? Howling Wolf, Willie Dixon or the mighty Zep? Yeah, Page, Plant and crew, because they took elements of blues songs and made it something unique and reinvented. Which is exactly what Elvis did...he interpreted the material and made it better than the original.

William Shakespeare is overrated but rappers are even rated? Rappers are the worst disembowlers of the English language ever.

Hill passes off Kyd, Middleton and Webster as superior to Shakespeare. LOL There’s not a single example cited from these shock-meisters that would justify such an assertion. Also who was writing better female roles than Shakespeare before the Restoration?

The translations of his diaries are on the internet or you can order them from amazon.
As you describe him is just not true.

He was combining the R&B of the time with Country and Western influences in a way that others were not doing.

My favorite example of Led Zeppelin improving on a blues classic:

But at least Zeppelin didn’t try to pass this of as “original” material the way Elvis did with “Hounddog”.

We all know there are bad white people as well as bad people of all shapes, sizes, and colors. The point of this article is how “Doctor Hill” who purports to be above this sort of thing as a big academic thought leader, blah blah, is just another angry black racist.

Hill is an Idoit.

This was my Reaction to Hill's stupid Article:

Elvis Presley: The Man was a literally King and had more class than many of his peers and successors.

For Insulting Elvis Presley Mr. Marc Lamont Hill Please Go stand at the Intersection next to Graceland.

Ronald Reagan: The Man who did what your side said could not be done; Beat the Soviets.

For Insulting President Reagen Mr. Hill, go lock yourself in a cage with Rabid Actor-Monkies.

Justin Bieber: Not One of my Favorites, but I know he isn't trying to out do "R&B"

Donald Trump: Whatever Trumps Failings, I am sure he has helped more people than you ever will Mr. Hill. Please go jump off the Trump Tower.

Prince Harry: Despite his poor judgement from time to time, his comment to his duties is unquestioned. Which I am sure that is something you know very little about Mr. Hill, Please go fly RAF Copters in Afghanistan in Prince Harry's Place, we need him more than you.

Tim Tebow: One of the best of this current crop of NFL stars. You could use a lesson in Humility Mr. Hill, so please show us how to Blitz please.

President Ubama's Economic Team: A Bunch of Putzes like you Mr. Hill.

NEXT

William Shakespeare: Than man who made the English Language what is today. Please equal that achievement Mr. Hill.

Babe Ruth: A Person who was the best at what he did and made no apologizes for it. Mr. Hill, please bat-a-thousand (without steroid use)

Duchess Kate Middleton: A Glamorous, yet humble Princess who has brought so much class to the House of Windsor that 45 years from now people will still be talking about it. You are not fit to shine the Duchess' SHOES Mr. Hill.

Joel Osteen: What you said about Joel Osteen Mr. Hill, all applies directly to you.

The Whole NHL (except Wayne Simmonds): Please continue to spit on a whole sport and their fans Mr Hill, I am sure the Hockey Players are most impressed once they glue a Puck to your face.

Bill Clinton: You are correct Mr. Hill, for all the wrong reasons. Tell me are better off under Slick Willy and Barak Ubama than you were during say President Eisenhower?

Eminem: Slim Shady, doing what black rappers have aspired too and failed since 1997.

Bill Walton: Mr. Hill you weary me. Sufficed to Say Bill Walton deserves his spot in the Hall Fame, something of which you will never be apart of.

Sarah Palin: A Leader of the Conservative Moment and one of the Greatest Threats to Comrade Ubama's plans.

Finally for insulting Sarah Palin Mr. Hill, please either go take a long walk off a short bridge into a Polar Bear pen or GTFO OF MY COUNTRY YOU USELESS PUTZ!

Incorrect.

The author of this list is a clown of the first water, but there is no need to tear down MCs when giving Shakespeare his well-deserved due.

Re: Ronald Reagan: “largely responsible for shutting down mental hospitals,

So that’s where all those democrat voters came from. (/sarc)

Mark is nothing more than an ignorant racist. He does nothing but keep others wallowing in their ignorance.

I think you just might be in the minority on that one.
