Marc Lamont Hill, a liberal pundit who previously was a contributor for CNN, found himself in hot water after tweeting an offensive “joke” about Hollywood star Tom Hanks’ announcement that he contracted coronavirus.
After 63-year-old Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson bravely announced that they had tested positive for the disease, Hill reposted a tweet announcing their diagnosis.
“I’m Black. Call me when Will and Jada got it,” he captioned the tweet, according to Fox News.
Hill was referring to the African American actors Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith. Many took the tweet to imply that Hill does not care that Hanks is battling a deadly disease because he is white.

That’s exactly what this raging white-hating lunatic meant. Only black lives matter.....remember?
To: yesthatjallen
Another interpretation is he wants Will and Jada to get sick.

I don’t think he was joking. I think he really feels that way.

“...a liberal pundit...”
How is that even possible? Liberals don’t have a good grasp of basic language or logic, due to being educated in Publik Skrewels, and they are TOTALLY without humor.
I thought you needed BOTH to be a ‘pundit?’ ;)

Marc LAMONT Hill!
LAMONT! You big dummy.
Honestly, this turd comes on and I change the channel. Smug as they come.
To: yesthatjallen
Maybe he is joking about blacks in general, that they don’t care unless something affects blacks. Most charitable interpretation, could be wrong.
