'The Dozen Most Overrated Black People'
The American Spectator ^ | October 10, 2012 | Ross Kaminsky

Posted on 10/10/2012 4:23:33 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

"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.....

I agree with you. In his prime years, TW was the best golfer of his era. And considering how much energy he was expending off the course, he probably could have been even better, LOL.

Woods calls himself a “Cablinasian,” which he coined from Caucasian, black, (American) Indian, and Asian.

Hair - ugh. Such a challenge for ALL females, especially black girls.
I like the compassionate comments beneath the video and bet this helped many little girls and their moms. Thanks for posting.
