Marc Lamont Hill: “Some would say maybe that it’s an exploitative picture that they’re exploiting the kid by hauling out this black person …”[crosstalk]
“They were pointing out the fact that the picture itself was sort of a spectacle and they were sort of making fun of the Republican party. I don’t think they were making fun of the baby. If they were I’d be right on your side. This was a light moment making fun of Mitt Romney”
Clear? This was just good old-fashioned, harmless, light, fun-poking based on the self-evidently silly and mockable notion of Mitt Romney exploiting a black child to make up for being so white. Isn’t that fun and light-hearted and tra la la?
Please note the New Rule in Hill’s comments. Taking a family photo with a member of your family is exploiting that family member. Using that photo to make fun of republicans as racists is not exploitative at all, it’s just clean harmless horsing around. Why any second now Hill is going to snap a towel at Mitt in the locker room and oh, how we’ll laugh. Good times.

This is the man who got excited over the Dorner murder spree. Cannot believe Hannity still occasional has this despicable Mini-Sharpton on his show.
Yet Sandra Bullock paraded around her black baby to People Magazine and all I heard was awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww how precious!!! But Hey, Sandra Bullock..liberal so its all good
Can’t have “whitey” adopting a black child. Nnnnnoooooooosireeeee.
What is clear is that the left demands that the children of demonrats be off limit, as all children should, but always, always take shots at conservatives children and family and then cry like little babies when they are called on it. If it wasn't about the Baby and Mitts Family then why use the picture at all. It's always the biggest bully that cries the loudest.
Liberals sure make a lot of judgements based on race, don’t they?
Has anyone else noticed this baby who is supposed to be a “grandson” is wearing *PINK*?
Anybody? Anybody at all?
Racist slob pseudojournalists.
Thanks absentee.
No one else noticed.
Nobody! Nobody a tall!
Romney’s tragic mistake was he though he could work with these people. Thought they were something besides implacable enemies.
Family pictures are now exploitation.
Hide the baby in a closet. I am sure they would be all for that/s
Marc Lamont Hill and Melissa Harris-Perry are two of the most racist individuals in the U.S. Every thought that coalesces in either of them is tainted by race.
I really am not bothered in any way by any attack on Mitt Romneycare.
Whether from the left, or from the right.
Let his presence on the political stage recede quietly into the past.
Where it belongs.
So what these liberals are saying is that if you adopt a black child you should be ashamed of him and not have pictures taken with the rest of the family because if you do it’s exploitation.
There are times when Romney, is used as a proxy to attack conservatives in general.
We know Romney isn’t conservative, but to the vast majority of low-info viewers, they think of him as one.
Only if you’re not a lib.
Well as soon as MSNBC issues the checks and they clear the bank rev. al and jj will show up with their rent a mob group to defend all the parties involved in this slimy affair.
Those two are the worst people on television.
Two things: 1) Everyone knows the left would react this way. 2) The child is better off being raised by the Romney’s rather than it’s natural parents.
