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

Posted on 07/11/2016 10:14:14 AM PDT by mandaladon

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.

Wait, let me get this straight. This guy is claiming the black people don’t have the institutional power to be racist? There’s a black Supreme Court judge, a black president of the freaking United States, a black attorney general, the head of DHS is black, etc., etc.

Obama has instituted racist hiring practices at the federal level: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/obama-has-vastly-changed-the-face-of-the-federal-bureaucracy/2015/09/20/73ef803a-5631-11e5-abe9-27d53f250b11_story.html

Their lies are becoming unsupportable.

Oh, but it perfectly alright to tar all Cops as racist against blacks due to a few questionable shootings!
Un-frikin believable!

ROTFLMAO!!!! He actually said that?

Leftists have been saying that since at least the late 1960s.

And you know, the leftist definition of "truth" is: "Any assertion made by a leftist no matter how inconsistent it is with observable reality."

The Presidency and the Justice Department aren’t institutional power? Mr. Hill seems caught in some sort of time warp.

Hill is one of the biggest race mongers out there

That's the truth! O'Reilly used to have him on, fortunately no more. Hill is a horrible racist. Never could stand him!! Infuriated me every time he was on.

One could apply the same logic to conclude that conservatives cannot be racist:
- Conservatives have no institutional power, and have not
since the 1980s. Not only is progressivism the
underlying philosophy of both major parties, but the
city governments and police forces are nearly all
controlled by the Democratic Party, the more
doctrinaire of the two leftist parties.
- Conservatism is thoroughly marginalized in mainstream culture.
- True conservatives call for justice, for nonviolence, for demilitarization of the police.

Hmmm, it looks like Marc Lamont Hill calls the Tea Party racist here: Are the Tea Parties Racist? Marc Lamont Hill vs Bill O'Reilly

Really? Are you that stupid? Try this: you drive to a predominately white neighborhood and have your car breakdown. Step out of your car and lift the hood. Now, if you have any white friends, have one of them drive to a predominately black neighborhood and have them step out of the car and lift the hood. Who do you think has the greater probability of getting murdered? I think blacks to have enough power to be racist and we have a lot of dead officers to prove it. You're a friggin' idiot.

Just yesterday a bunch of homeys at Starbucks were all giddy that whitey are “noticing our plight”.
From National Lampoon's "Vacation"

Ellen: This is so dangerous! We have no business being in an area like this!
Clark: This is a part of America we never get to see.
Ellen: That's good!
Clark: No, that's bad. We can't close our eyes to the plight of the cities. Kids, are you noticing all this plight? This will just make us appreciate what we have.
(gun shot heard outside the car)
Clark: Roll 'em up!
