"The Dozen Most Overrated Black People": Can you imagine if I (or any other columnist) actually wrote an article with this title and subject?
....So what to make of Columbia University Associate Professor Marc Lamont Hill's article.....entitled "The 15 Most Overrated White People".....
......This cannot remain acceptable in America -- by which I do not mean that Hill should not be heard, but rather than he should not be heard without the challenges he so richly deserves.
The media and Columbia University do the nation a disservice by giving this transparently racist pseudo-intellectual an uncontested platform from which to further divide the nation and harm American education at all levels. While one would hope that our fellow citizens are smart enough to see through Mr. Hill, to see how his words rip off our nation's slowly healing race scabs, I am skeptical, particularly with the general lack of skeptical voices questioning Hill's rhetoric, motivation, and destructive impact.
Other than asking Hill about Iran, Bill O'Reilly is better than his usual populist self when it comes to his occasional debates with Hill, standing up against the race-hustler's baseless charges of congenital racism among non-liberal whites. Even after Fox News "fired" Hill in 2009 for his support of two convicted cop-killers, O'Reilly had him back on the air, including again this year.
Yet the fact that so-called "conservative" O'Reilly has given so much airtime to the race-conspiracy-minded Hill was lost on equally race-minded Ebony magazine interviewer.....who... framed a question, without a trace of irony, thus: "Your TV career began and flourished at Fox, who are notorious for their bias."
If Mark Lamont Hill thinks writing about "overrated white people" is funny, that says a lot about the man. If he was serious, it says even more.....

Just pick the 12 who get the most TV time - it’s entirely because of their support of The Agenda, and not based on merit.
You forgot Maya Angelou, who’s tops my list.
Yeah...it seems funny on the surface. It’s the kind of stuff that propelled him to stardom....just humorous stereotypical anecdotes of ‘black life’....
They’ve gone much farther than that, my FRiend. The number one comedic mechanism of a black comedian is to portray how the “man” is always against them coupled with the ever-present exaggerated histrionic mimic of the “typical whitebread white man”... screw them. They aren’t funny, they’re just like Carlos Mancia and that other mainstream Mexican “wannabe” George Lopez. All any of them do is perpetuate reasons for racism.
Chris rock hasn’t been funny since the 90s.
Now he in the same league as Sarah Silverman and Letterman.
Bitchy lefties that have used up their goodwill by constantly berating part of their fans for their political leanings.
LOL!
I might also add OJ Simpson and his defense attorney (name slips my mind at the moment), Alex Holder, Ambassador Rice (her lying about the reason for the attack in Libya is unbelievable), Louis Farrakhan, Valerie Jarrett, Sidney Poitier, and most rappers (lyrics are full of violence, hate, abuse of women, use of drugs, all about money & greed)...
If Lamont Hill was not Black he would be a nobody.
If Ms./”Professor” Li was not an Asian female, with her accompanying “social identity built upon unearned entitlements,” and her “invisible weightless knapsack of special provisions, maps, passports, codebooks, visas, clothes, tools, and blank checks,” she would be a nobody.
Don’t forget this most recent fool “Toure’”

You mean the two most over-rated HALF BLACK MEN!
Tiger Woods isn't bi-racial. Woods is one-quarter Chinese, one-quarter Thai, one-quarter black, one-eighth Native American, and one-eighth Dutch.
Also, I'd disagree that he's overrated. A whoremonger, yes. A pompous ass, yes. Overrated as a golfer, no. That's just my opinion.
I’d rather see a list of accomplished black people of whom most blacks have never heard.
I’d start the list with Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams.
... that is, unless you rate them on the basis of pomposity.
Don't know about Tavis, he belongs in a group of pompous gasbags that all work pretty much the same gig. He wants to be the black Charlie Rose, but I don't know if he's there yet.
Cornel West, though, is spot-on, and Bro' Cornel has lots of fellow intellectuals and pundits out there who could ride on his Pompous Overrated Fool Bus, a.k.a. the Short Bus. Starting with Stanley Crouch and Leonard Pitts.
I don’t think he’s black or a man. He’s a mutt poofter.
Take that back!
The latest excuse for the failures of non Whites is "White Privelege". What will it be ten years from now?
Mutliculturalism and "diversity" are a wrecking ball to any healthy society.
How is Tiger only 1/4t hblack? Was his father not 100 %? Making Tiger 1/2 black?
Nope. Earl Woods was black, Chinese, and American Indian (I don't know the tribe).
Never knew that.
So TW isn’t even a Halfrican.
You’d never know that from the MSM story lines, LOL
