Lamont Hill: Just Because Poor Cities Are Run by Democrats, Doesn't Mean Democrats Are to Blame

On Wednesday’s CNN New Day, Chris Cuomo brought on CNN commentator, author and host of BET News Marc Lamont Hill and former Secret Service agent and current candidate for congress in Florida Dan Bongino, to discuss Trump polling poorly with African-Americans. While Bongino argued that democrat run cities have failed black communities, Lamont Hill claimed that poverty and Democrat machines are connected, but that “doesn’t mean” being a Democrat makes you poor.

After Cuomo brought up a new ABC News/WSJ poll that predicted only one percent of blacks would vote for Trump, he asked Bongino why Trump was unable to make the case to blacks that their Democrat-run communities would only keep them in poverty. Bongino responded:

DAN BONGINO: Yeah, you know, Chris, this is one of the great mysteries of my life. If I was granted omnipotence by the Lord tomorrow to change one thing, it would be to be able to walk into the black community and largely in inner cities and say, please, look at what's happening here. I mean, these communities have been ruled monopolistically by far left big government liberals for decades. In some cases since the '20s and '30s. These communities have been driven into the ground. I mean, you don't have to be a scientist to look at the evidence, the correlational evidence right in front of you. Liberalism correlates with poverty and high crime every single place it's been tried. Yet, you have some members of the black community which support the democratic party, which continues to bankrupt them. I wish I could change it. I wish the Trump campaign could as well.

Marc Lamont Hill took offense to that, wincing then claiming there was “[N]othing far left about Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia,” at which Bongino, flabbergasted, asked, “What?”

I’m pretty sure that Hill understands cause-and-effect and knows the Democrat Party is hurting Americans of African descent.

So why does he say stupid stuff?

He’s a coward.

The offshoring of the manufacturing base is to blame for the demise of the inner cities of the North. Blacks are are hit hardest and they go running to the Democrats.

Look at Wisconsin for example. There is no history of slavery or plantation farming in Wisconsin. Where then did all the blacks come from? Blacks came to Wisconsin and other Northern industrial states in the early 20th century to fill the need for manual labor. Fast forward to the 1990's. The USA started de industrialization big time. Now we have city after city of blacks idled by the globalist elites. They broke their rice bowl which ironically to the Chinese is the worst thing you can do to a person.

Your predecessor leaves a steaming bag of stink on his desk.
You get hired to take his office because you described a great plan for removing the steaming bag of stink.
You’re given a bunch of money to remove the steaming bag of stink.
You even talk others into giving you more money to freshen the air after the steaming bag of stink is removed.
Time passes.
As your contract to remove the steaming bag of stink is about to expire, people look and see...
... Two steaming bags of stink.
And you claim you have a great plan to remove them.
GTFO.

[Salvey]

He is a low-IQ mimic.

I should have also added that if blacks had a different mindset, they wouldn’t vote Democratic.

[MayflowerMadam]

It sounds a bit like what Lanny Davis said during the Clinton / Lewinski situation. “Just because there was semen on the dress doesn’t mean there was sex.” (Paraphrased)

Here's some background on this far left SOB...

The Extreme Makeover of Fox News: Analyst Marc Lamont Hill ["Black Liberation" revolutionary communist]
Accuracy In Media - AIM Column ^ | October 2, 2009 | Cliff Kincaid

Who would plaster his Twitter page with police mug shot photos of convicted cop-killer Assata Shakur? Fox News contributor Marc Lamont Hill did. At least until David Horowitz and Accuracy in Media took notice and wrote about it. Now the page features photos of boxing great Muhammad Ali. Hill's MySpace page is also gone.

There are other changes as well. The tributes to Shakur and black racist Khallid Muhammad, known as "America's Black Hitler," have disappeared from his web pages. The articles were saved, however, and can be found here.

PROFILE: KHALID ABDUL MUHAMMAD

• Former spokesman for Nation of Islam
• Became chairman of New Black Panther Party in 1998
• Deceased in 2001

  Muhammad referred to Jews as people whose ancestors were cannibals who "crawled around on all fours in the caves and hills of Europe" and "slept in [their] urination and [their] defecation... for 2,000 years." He characterized contemporary Jews as "slumlords in the black community" who were busy "sucking our [blacks'] blood on a daily and consistent basis." He said that Jews had provoked Adolf Hitler when they "went in there, in Germany, the way they do everywhere they go, and they supplanted, they usurped." And he declared that blacks, in retribution against South African whites of the apartheid era, should "kill the women,...kill the children,...kill the babies,...kill the blind,...kill the crippled,...kill the faggot,...kill the lesbian,...kill them all."

  On subsequent occasions, Muhammad praised Colin Ferguson, a black man who had shot some twenty white and Asian commuters (killing six of them) in a racially motivated 1993 shooting spree aboard a New York commuter train, as a hero who possessed the courage to "just kill every goddamn cracker that he saw." He advised blacks that "there are no good crackers, and if you find one, kill him before he changes." He told a Donahue television audience in May 1994 that "there is a little bit of Hitler in all white people." He characterized black conservatives as "boot-licking, butt-licking, bamboozled, half-baked, half-fried, sissified, punkified, pasteurized, homogenized Nigger[s]." On May 21, 1997 he told a San Francisco State University audience that the "white man" is "a no-good bastard. He's not a devil, the white man is the Devil." In September 1997 he said, "If you say you're white, goddammit I'm against you. If you're a Jew, I'm against you. Whatever the hell you want to call yourself, I'm against you."

  Marc Lamont Hill isn't Just An Admirer of Cop-Killer Mumia Abu-Jamal, He's His Publisher

  

  Marc Lamont Hill, Sept 7, 2009:

  "I am thrilled to announce that Mumia Abu-Jamal has joined the Barbershop as a weekly contributor!! His column, "Live From Death Row," will appear every Wednesday starting next week.

  Mumia Abu-Jamal is one of the world's most celebrated journalists, freedom fighters, and political prisoners. Since his early days in Philadelphia, Mumia was an active member of the Black freedom struggle. From his award-winning journalism to his involvement with the Black Panther Party, Mumia has devoted his life to Black liberation. Wrongfully incarcerated since 1981 for the murder of Officer Daniel Faulkner, Mumia has continued to place a spotlight on various forms of injustice around the globe through his numerous columns, commentaries, and books. Mumia has generated international support for his own case, which has been one of the most glaring and repugnant reflections of the criminal (in)justice system."--Marc Lamont Hill

Hitler was President of Germany. So, he’s not to blame for the genocide? Or, just because slaves were in America, the US government wasn’t to blame?

I can go on all day.

[morphing libertarian]

Spin, deny, attack, claim racism, don’t take responsibility, get on TV 2-3 times a week. Get invited to the WH be an expert.

[LeoWindhorse]

Lamont Hill needs to be parachuted into Raqqah Syria

[Hotlanta Mike]

Actually the democrats and the people who vote for them are equally guilty...

[Bellflower]

A wise black friend once told me that the blacks that left the south for the big cities were the blacks who were rebelling away from their black Christian roots. They wanted to escape being subject to any one telling them what was right, accountability. I have no idea if this is true, but this is what an older black once told me.

[Hotlanta Mike]

He’s obviously a product of affirmative action...

[sergeantdave]

“Chris Cuomo brought on CNN commentator, author and host of BET News Marc Lamont Hill and former Secret Service agent and current candidate for congress in Florida Dan Bongino, to discuss Trump polling poorly with African-Americans.”

First, the commie moron Cuomo stated a false premise, and then his black slave, Lamont Hill, agreed. This is highly amusing.

[SkyDancer]

Perhaps then Trump can give incentive for American companies to come back to the US and start creating jobs. The US has the highest corporate tax in the world.

[Bellflower]

He strikes me as someone who is deluded. Too bad as he is a likable fellow. Will say a prayer for him.

[Red in Blue PA]

If Lamont Hill was white, he would have never been handed a PhD.

[central_va]

We need to return to the historical roots of the Republican party which would mean stiff import tariffs.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Idiot. Just who is to blame for the failure of Democrat-controlled cities when DemocRats have controlled them for decades?

[SkyDancer]

That’s what one of the things that triggered the Depression in the US back then.
