How Come Marc Lamont Hill can call John Mayer a “White boy” and Not Be Called a Racist for It?
David Horowitz's NewsRealblog ^ | David Swindle

Posted on 02/12/2010 6:25:10 AM PST by Michael van der Galien

Joe Klein had a great post today calling out Marc Lamont Hill on last night’s O’Reilly Factor. Those new to NewsReal Blog might be unfamiliar with our history of confronting Hill for his extreme views and for Fox and O’Reilly for putting him on as a foreign policy expert when he specializes in hip-hop culture. NewsReal Blog and Accuracy in Media were successful in getting Hill fired as a paid contributor at Fox. Never the less, he’s still featured occasionally as an unpaid commentator.

One of NRB’s primary gripes with Hill is that he’s dishonest. When on Fox News he presents himself as a reasonable progressive somewhere in the neighborhood of the leftwing of the Democratic Party. However in real life — and particularly on the web — Hill is a Ward Churchill-style radical who possesses deeply divisive views on race.

We can see this in this most recent blog post at his site. (Warning, R-rated language at the actual post.) Responding to a comment musician John Mayer made in a Playboy interview in which he confessed — in rather crass terms — to not being attracted to black women, Hill wrote,

One of the affordances of white privilege is being able to say things that cause hurt to people of color, and then appeal to your “heart” (or hip-hop collaborations) as proof you’re not racist. Again, I’m not calling Mayer a racist –I don’t know him– but his comments were certainly racially irresponsible. Next time, John, just say “Everybody has their preferences. Black women haven’t been mine.” Then, no harm, no foul.

As far as Black people go, I worry that our outrage is also connected to our constant need for White approval.

I thought Hill was given his hippity hop papers a month ago? Did he play the race card with FOX?

No reason to give up the advantage of a huge bludgeon if you can help it.

Because most whiteys choose to go crazy because people say certain words.

Many Blacks, like Hill, will never believe that most Whites aren’t evil Black people haters; no matter what advantages Blacks are given simply because of the color of their skin. No affirmative action, no racial quotas will ever be enough and Whites needs to realize this fact. Hill operates from this vantage point.

...an affiliated faculty member in African American Studies...

With a plagiarized thesis a quick talking hip hop dummy can be a PhD! O'Reilly loves this guy.

I would actually care about the double standard but I think Mayer is a d!@#head anyway. He wouldn't come to our defense....

He does, and that tells you all you need to know about O’Reilly.

At least weekly on O'Reilly.

Blacks have always gotten away with calling a white man, “boy”. But a white person better never do that.

If Mayer were to say he isn’t attracted to women with green eyes, would that also be “irresponsible”?

Note Mayer did not say he would not hire a black woman or rent an apt to her. He’s talking about physical attraction—hardly what I consider in the realm of “racism,” (whatever that is).

Mayer needs to take Frank Zappa’s advice and “Shut up and play yer guitar.”

Because nobody pays any attention to anything Marc Lamont Hill has to say...he's a racist.

O'Reilly loves this guy.

O'Reilly also often featured that hag Medea Benjamin of CodePink while she was relentlessly attacking President Bush and the war efforts, delivering money to the opposition in Iraq, leading the picketing of recruiting offices and of Walter Reed hospital by leftists, promoting that evil witch Cindy Sheehan, disrupting congressional meetings and lately, bundling money for Obama. To think O'Reilly is the most-viewed cable news commentator makes one sad for our country.

when he mentions that people who find black women desireable need more “self love”, isn’t he demeaning black women as well? unless one needs to be self-hating to like black women, and he think’s that is a good thing?

The Extreme Makeover of Fox News: Analyst Marc Lamont Hill [far left radical]
Accuracy In Media - AIM Column ^ | October 2, 2009 | Cliff Kincaid

Posted on Saturday, October 03, 2009 9:59:20 PM by ETL

Who would plaster his Twitter page with police mug shot photos of convicted cop-killer Assata Shakur? Fox News contributor Marc Lamont Hill did. At least until David Horowitz and Accuracy in Media took notice and wrote about it. Now the page features photos of boxing great Muhammad Ali. Hill's MySpace page is also gone.

There are other changes as well. The tributes to Shakur and black racist Khallid Muhammad, known as "America's Black Hitler," have disappeared from his web pages. The articles were saved, however, and can be found here.
