The Scholarship of Marc Lamont Hill
Accuracy in Academia ^ | August 31, 2016 | Cliff Kincaid

Posted on 08/31/2016 10:59:18 AM PDT by Academiadotorg

More than a year ago we published Jim Simpson's masterful report, "Black Criminals, White Victims, and White Guilt." He examined the facts about black-on-white crime.

What's more, Simpson singled out commentators like CNN's Marc Lamont Hill, a racial agitator fired by Fox News for defending cop-killers, and spreading misleading statistics about police shootings.

Hill idolizes Assata Shakur, a former Black Panther and member of the Black Liberation Army, who killed New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster by shooting him in the head. She escaped from prison with the help of the Weather Underground and now lives in Cuba.

Incredibly, in addition to getting paid by CNN, Hill is a Morehouse College Distinguished Professor of African-American Studies. His new book is titled Nobody: Casualties of America's War on the Vulnerable, from Ferguson to Flint and Beyond.

The "war on the vulnerable" implies that "the man," aka the white power structure, is behind problems in the black community.

This is how blacks are advised to shift the blame for their own bad behavior to America.

During one of his many appearances on CNN, Hill claimed that black criminal predators were motivated to steal, rape and kill other people because of lead in paint and lead in gasoline. He got this information from Mother Jones magazine, which failed to show proof that excessive lead causes crime of any kind. Lead can cause headaches, memory problems, muscle and joint pain, abdominal pain, cramping and vomiting, but not crime.

CNN calls Hill "one of the leading intellectual voices in the country." An online publication called the Afro goes further, saying he is "one of the most dynamic Black intellectuals of the 21st century."

No wonder the black community is in trouble.

The major media outlets, which regularly censor news of black-on-white crime, faced a problem in the coverage of the black criminal killing the white nuns. They had to use the perpetrator's photo. It was the only one they had. It was furnished by the Mississippi Department of Public Safety.

Now the public knows.

Unfortunately, he's what passes for scholarly in the media and in academia.

Hill is a racist moron who for some reason (he’s black) is accepted by the left as an “intellectual academic”. I change channels at the sight of him.

Sadly, CNN is what passes for NEWS media.

That is a form of the confusion of collectivists that produces the fallacy of misplaced responsibility and the fallacy of inappropriate victimization. They can't understand the difference between the personal responsibility of individuals and the harmful effects caused by the actions of a group. So, they blame society or some other group instead of the poor decisions of the individual for the bad behavior of the individual.

How many of us "whities" grew up in the era of regular (i.e. excessive lead) gasoline and our houses painted with lead paint? So the excessive lead did not cause us to become criminals in large numbers but it did in the lower class ghetto black community? Really?

Give a brother credit. He lucked into an easy lifetime gig as a “professor” telling guilty Whiteys how bad they should feel. And all the guilty leftie Whiteys watch CNN. The mad leftie whiteys are on MSNBC.
