“Whoever brings up race first is the racist.”

Yes... we must apply the “fart rule”.

Muhammad was white? Since when? I would call him an Arab, and in the 7th century I don’t know if any of them could be called “white”.

I don’t know if he’s paid, but he is on. But only to discuss issues relating to blacks. Apparently this professor’s opinions are not too reliable on any topic not called “race.” I guess that indicates his actual field of expertise.

Not many people realize:

1. “judged by the content of their character, and not the color of their skin” was NOT first written by MLK

2. large parts of his PhD dissertation are said to have been plagiarized

A powerful speaker? Yes. But there is more to the whole picture....

I am so sick of the double standard. Here’s obviously a racist, and he gets away with it with no negative repercussions because he’s black. He could make the point with almost every single one of the list, but then he paints the whole NHL, and I’m sure it’s because there’s hardly any black players there. Could you just imagine if some white professor did the same thing, but with a list of over-rated black people, and mentioned the NBA within that list? He would lose his job over it, because nobody wants their kids taught by a freaking racist. But it’s okay because he’s black?

Tebow is a very good football player. Tebow has realistic goals and abilities. Ask the Steelers if he’s overrated.

I just saw him throw a beautiful pass downfield that was dropped!
He’s a winner all day, everyday!

I will agree with him on these people as being overrated: Justin Bieber, Donald Trump, Prince Harry, Tim Tebow, President Obama's Economic Team, Kate Middleton, Joel Osteen, The Whole NHL, Bill Clinton, and Eminem. And, to some extent, I agree that (flame suit on) Sarah Palin is overrated: Governor for less than one term of a low-population state and losing VP nominee should not warrant this much fame.

But these people are definitely NOT overrated:

Elvis Presley: One of the greatest popular singers of the 20th century (along with Crosby and Sinatra).

Ronald Reagan: Won the Cold War; the most revered figure in the conservative movement.

William Shakespeare: Are you kidding me?? Shakespeare is one of the most important, influential figures in the history of Western Civilization! The most imporant writer in the history of the English language!

Babe Ruth: The greatest baseball player ever, probably the greatest professional athlete ever, his stardom transcended his sport.

Bill Walton: I saw Walton play many times in his prime. Terrific all-around center, one of the best ever, when healthy.

Yeah, sure. I wonder what Prof. Marc Lamont Hill, Ph.D. would have done when, had he been in Columbus’ place, becalmed in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean in command of three ships whose food and water are running low, the decision rests with him and him alone to continue or turn back. Yeah, Columbus is overrated ... until you step into his shoes.

Brilliance comes easily when you are looking backwards across five centuries.

And, oh, his shoes would have been several sizes too big for you, Marc, even though he didn’t have a Ph.D.

We’ll have to agree to disagree. He’s a great kid, a terrific story and a role model but he’s a BAD quarterback. Really bad.

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!

He’s not unheard of, he is a pal of Bill O’Reilly.

He has been spewing pro black, socialist crap on The Factor for years
