CNN’s Marc Lamont Hill: Black People Are Incapable of Racism
Mediaite ^ | 11 Jul 2016 | Alex Griswold

CNN political commentator and HuffPo Live host Marc Lamont Hill opined Monday that black people cannot be racist because they lack the “institutional power” required to “deploy racism.”

Hill was asked to respond to comments made by former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani calling the Black Lives Matter movement racist. “First of all, by the way, Black Lives Matter and the movement for black lives this morning issued a pledge which I tweeted out today calling for justice, calling for peace, and calling for togetherness in a moment where we’re attempting to be divided,” Hill said.

“To say that the Black Lives Matter movement is racist is bizarre to me,” he continued. “Not just because black people don’t have the institutional power to be racist or to deploy racism, but because the movement has called for justice, it’s called for demilitarization, it’s called for nonviolence.”

Hill acknowledged that there were some bad apples in the movement, but that was no reason to tar all of Black Lives Matters as racist. “I’ve been to some Tea Party Rallies; there are racists there, but I wouldn’t say the Tea Party is racist as such,” he said.

“Hill has opened his mouth and removed all doubt as to his stupidity”

This guy may be a tenured “professor”, but he’s an idiot. Also, I can’t stand trying to listen to him speak. He spouts a constant streak of babble. Surely he has the fastest mouth in the west!

“Lamont is incapable of assembling an intelligible sentence or to work one into a paragraph.

Lamont has to be an utterly lousy professor.

Professor of what?”

Doesn’t take a lot to be a “professor” of African American Studies.

Most are also incapable of solving simple simultaneous equations, or identifying the subject and predicate in a ten word English language sentence.

What goes along with the “black people can’t be racist” line is that white people are born racist and they can’t change that fact.

To which I say, “Then you can’t blame me for it. God wanted me to be that way.”

Back in the 50s, I don’t think “racist” had been invented. People could be “prejudiced” or they could “stereotype people.” Those were things used against white people back then. We don’t need the word racist. Just hit them with ‘prejudiced’ and ‘stereotype’ and watch them look confused.

I wonder if BLM-types realize that they are prejudiced against police and they stereotype them. They think if one cop is bad, every cop must be bad. Just trade ‘cop’ with ‘black person’ and they don’t like it.

But Marxist lingo doesn’t have to be consistent.

Neo-Marxists did the same thing with homosexuality.

It’s now ‘homophobic’ (an invented term) to even question the liberal orthodoxy.

Exactly. They found some success by tagging along with the civil rights movement, and have been using that as their template ever since.

Lowering the standard of behavior for one group because of their skin color certainly isn’t equality. Apparently they’re not to be judged by the content of their character.

All those people marching down the street chanting “pigs in a blanket - fry ‘em like bacon” can deploy a lot of racism.......
