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.

I call out anyone, including on the internet when I see these ignorant idiots saying blacks cannot be racist. We need more and more people to speak up and stand against black racism and while we are at it how about racial quotas and affirmative action which in itself is racist towards whites.

They have made people shut up and keep their thoughts to themselves while they keep passing their radical left wing agenda, and it is high time for our side, and especially the elected officials and people with a public voice to speak out and stand up. I am so sick of this crap of them attacking a person who dares to speak up. I remember years ago when the Dr Laura Schlesinger. When she spoke against homosexuality and she was forced to lose her jobs and was attacked with so much venom..

Oh, goodie. So if I call myself an Italian-American I can never be called a racist either!

Commenting on the air on CNN, as well as on Twitter, Hill asserted that “Every 28 hours, an unarmed black person is killed by police.”[16][17][18][19] The claim went viral after police killed black men in Ferguson, Missouri, and Staten Island, New York.”[16] In 2014, Politifact said his statement was false.[19][20][21] Hill later corrected his statement, after Politifact had indicated that his statement was not correct.”[16]

He also claims that Jews secretly run the world, that Antarctica is actually sunny and warm, and that the police work with the Klingon Empire to destroy blacks.

Hating whites is not racist.
Wanting to kill whites is not racist.
Shooting and killing white cops is not racist.

All of the above are simply legitimate responses to white racism. Get it? /s

Whenever you see and/or hear Marc Lamont Hill talking about racism, among other things, ask yourself if he sounds like he’s crazy. Having a PhD doesn’t make him a genius, it just makes him seem impervious to common sense and logic as though he’s so far out and beyond our capability to understand his brand of ‘genius’. Kinda like Obama, but Obama is no PhD (as if that would have made any difference).

No, Hill is NOT a liberal. He’s a Marxist, but a hip-hop one and bullshit artist on top.

He’s incapable of rational thought and telling the truth, but then again, most reds are like that. Just listen to Obama if you don’t think it’s true.

Yes.
His professional existence is all about his race.
His self-identification is all about his race.
His thought process is all about his race.
He probably never experienced as an adult, nor can even imagine, a day without thinking about has race.
He is steeped in racism. Saturated by racism. Owned by racism.

Racism has nothing to do with power.
Racism is an emotion, it is hatred, and virtually every human being who has ever walked is fully capable of feeling hate.
Unless he is saying that black people are incapable of hate? We all know that isn’t true. He would then be calling his people something less than human.

The Left has carefully modified the definition of racism so that it cannot be applied against blacks.

This guy would even argue that the Zimbabwean government cannot be racist as it oppresses the remaining whites, because the blacks lack some aspect of global power.

I say “F-— ‘em”. Some black who displays hatred towards me, who desires to harm me purely because of my race, is racist.
