Speaking with Don Lemon over MSNBC’s mockery of Mitt Romney for having an adopted black grandchild, Marc Lamont Hill defended Melissa Harris-Perry’s racist jokes by explaining that it’s okay because the Romneys are white.

Lemon and Hill began talking about why Hill believes it’s okay to make fun of Romney for having an African American grandchild, and if it would be racist for white people to make fun of black people. According to Hill, it’s not okay for whites to make fun of African Americans, but it’s okay for Harris-Perry to make fun of Romney hand his grandchild. Why? Romney is white! The exchange is written verbatim below:

Hill: What Fox does and what MSNBC do [sic] are two different things. What black people do and white people do are two different things. I don't think it's a fair comparison.

Lemon: But then you can't say that it's okay if one group of people do it...

Hill: YES YOU CAN! (Laughter) That's where we always disagree! ...

Lemon: You can't have two separate standards for people. If that was a...

Hill: No! It's the same standard, it's a different context!

[LMAO]

I guess we can now understand why CNN and MSNBC lost half their audiences last year

So Marclamonthill isn’t doing Fox anymore? I thought things got peaceful all of a sudden. It’s sort of funny...he makes Gay Lemonhead seem reasonable.

[RatRipper]

Marc Lamont Hill is one completely sicko commie racist SOB. I can’t believe Ted Baxter has him on his show sometimes.

[mountainlion]

So since Obama is half white and Moochell is half white we can ridicule their kids because they ware white?

[ChildOfThe60s]

It’s not complicated. Just disgusting.

Liberals are racists and anti Semitic. And black and Jews vote for them in mass.

Incomprehensible. Proving once again, liberalism is a secular religion of envy and hate.

[chiefqc]

What does that mean, that there audience is now at three views total?

[Cyber Liberty]

I haven’t seen marclamonthillonTedBaxtersshowforsometime.

[nascarnation]

MooseChelle is half white?

Which parent was white, Fraser or Marian?

[circlecity]

This Hill guy is an Ivy League graduate and is a perfect example of what we’ve come to expect from these institutes of higher learning - the substitution of incomprehensible gibberish for rational logic in making an argumeht or defending a position. I couldn’t discern a coherent thought in his argument at all.

[Anton.Rutter]

Then it’s ok to make racist jokes about Obama because his mother was white...DALs.

[Mr. K]

Is this satire? I swear I can’t tell anymore

[onedoug]

Man, racism flying thick and fast over there.

[Maceman]

Lemon: You can't have two separate standards for people. If that was a...

Hill: No! It's the same standard, it's a different context!

Therefore, nothing that black people say about racism is worth taking seriously because they're biased.

[mountainlion]

let me change that form “MooseChelle is half white?” to Mooschelle is part white or put a /s behind it. I was assuming by skin tone that she was not completely black.

[Lazamataz]

The list grows longer each day.

[MuttTheHoople]

Even as a baby, Wookie was an angry black woman!

[bray]

She wasn’t as angry as her dad who was in the Chicago corruption machine. He was on the Transportation Board where he made in today’s equivalent over $250K.

Pray America is Waking

Michelle inherited her mother’s face. Except her mother has a pleasant look on her face, unlike scowling face Michelle often makes.

[Reddy]

So it’s ok if someone sings, “One of these things is not like the other..” while looking at a picture of bho, his mother and his grandparents??

Someone accurately once quoted, “If liberals didn’t have double standards, they would have no standards at all.”
