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!

Her mother's picture there is quite beautiful. Amazing how hatred, envy, arrogance, spite and covetousness can distort those inherited features.
The black community has always disliked the adoption of black children by white parents. They would prefer that black or abandoned children grow up in foster homes or die in poverty.
Their logic is that the children will lose their culture being raised by whites. I.e., they will live in too nice of homes, go to schools not filled with gang bangers, probably have two parents instead of a baby mama alone with ten kids on welfare.
They cannot be deprived of their rich ghetto heritage.
So the jokes against Bill DeBlasio’s kids will be forthcoming?
I’d like to see her go up to Tom Cruise and say that. All of Scientology’s assets would be used on a PR campaign to fire her rear end.

Another take:
From the link:
Lemon took aim at MSNBC after Melissa Harris-Perry’s panel, while showing a Romney family photo with the black grandson, joked that “one of these things is not like the other,” and that the photo represented the diversity of the Republican Party.
“It’s a bunch of people on the left who all agree with each other, and there’s no diversity of opinion,” Lemon said of MSNBC. “And they’re saying mean, smug things about people who may disagree with them.”
Lemon suggested there would be more outrage if a white Fox News panel made similar jokes about the black grandson.
Every so often Lemon makes Lemonade.
Exactly, I couldn’t said it better myself.
BTW; I wonder when she got this way. Neither of her parents look angry in the picture, like she always does.
Or jokes about the children of Angelina Jolie and Sandra Bullock?
yep, silent they are.
