CNN political commentator and HuffPo Live host Marc Lamont Hill opined Monday that black people cannot be racist because they lack the “institutional power” required to “deploy racism.”
Hill was asked to respond to comments made by former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani calling the Black Lives Matter movement racist. “First of all, by the way, Black Lives Matter and the movement for black lives this morning issued a pledge which I tweeted out today calling for justice, calling for peace, and calling for togetherness in a moment where we’re attempting to be divided,” Hill said.

“To say that the Black Lives Matter movement is racist is bizarre to me,” he continued. “Not just because black people don’t have the institutional power to be racist or to deploy racism, but because the movement has called for justice, it’s called for demilitarization, it’s called for nonviolence.”
Hill acknowledged that there were some bad apples in the movement, but that was no reason to tar all of Black Lives Matters as racist. “I’ve been to some Tea Party Rallies; there are racists there, but I wouldn’t say the Tea Party is racist as such,” he said.

Sure Lamont...just like Muslims cannot be religious persecutors. What shade of black, Lamont? What about half blacks? Can they be half racist?
Now for some reason that is funny. :D
Sheesh.

Of course he would say that. He’s an anti-American @hole. Undisputed fact...
Though absurd his position is standard teaching in universities around the country.
The argument is blacks don’t have power therefore they are incapable of racism.
The argument is at least 20-30 years old and is standard worldview for libs.
Amazed people here are just hearing this nonsense.
Guess he’s never been to a d.l. hugely show huh?
Racism is an attitude, not a relationship.
He needs to be held to chapter and verse on which Tea Party rallies he went to and who& where ‘racists’ were.
Regardless of the semantics game, even if you go off his argument that blacks can’t be racist because they lack power, it’s inaccurate. The mainstream media, academia, and the Obama administration doesn’t really strike me as a bastion for whitey’s oppression machine.
And the plane went into a black hole.
“Not just because black people don’t have the institutional power to be racist or to deploy racism, but because the movement has called for justice, it’s called for demilitarization, it’s called for nonviolence.”
Gee... we have a black President and a black attorney general. It could be that it’s actually white that are now incapable of racism.
Equality is impossible if every race is judged by a different set of rules.
Plenty of sorta Blacks who should be institutionalized; Hussein, The Mooch, The Lyncher, H0lder, Revs Al and Jesse, Jeh!, et. al.
if you want to see a racist then go to your mirror.
That’s been the official line for close to fifty years now.
Understand this garbage will lead to a civil war. You have over 1/2 the population believing whites are evil, racist and the current government structure must be dismantled and recreated. This type of propaganda is cancer to our society, and this mentality is spreading still.
If HRC becomes president she will give validity to evil whites ideology, and you’ll start seeing talks of reparations, speech and gun laws, stronger hate crime legislation, etc.
Sounds like we need to back up a step and ask these folks to DEFINE racism. Maybe we’re talking about two different things.

Blacks have the power to be racist when they choose.
Last - Ambushing 12 policemen killing 5 while claiming to hate white people is pretty much showing that that the man both had the power, and the hate, to be a racist black man.
I am sick of this argument that “blacks” can not be racist when it is it evident that some are.
Why does Marc Lamont Hill think that speaking five hundred words per minute makes him seem more intelligent? And, in my experience from observation for over forty years, some black liberals or leftists(redundancy alert)are incapable of a rational, logical thought process.
