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.

Definition of racism has never depended on his preconditions.
The usual bug lie—blacks cannot be racists, only white can. We have to push back hard on this nonsensical statement, which has now been bandied about for 50 years. Blacks can and do harbor racist views, and in my experience dwarf those of whites. The meme that “without political power, one cannot be racist” is made up crap. It is nothing but an Orwellian twisting of language, a redefinition of common terms.
Lamont is incapable of assembling an intelligible sentence or to work one into a paragraph.
Lamont has to be an utterly lousy professor.
Professor of what?
That's OK. "Bigot" works just as well and doesn't have the phony-baloney re-definition associated with it.
Perhaps he should look in the mirror for a racist.
And cracka is just a term of endearment...
NORMAL people aren’t buying this crap anymore....there really IS a Revolution coming, but not the one these idiots are spouting.
One has to wonder, would there be such an entity as a police force, if left to the BLM? Do they support any kind of law enforcement? In what form? What would law enforcement look like if left to groups like the BLM? Woud there be any capable force at all, or would we have anarchy?
for him, denial is just some river ovuh dere in Africa somewheres
Mark Lamont Hill. That goody, screwball, turdbrain former University of Pennsylvania PhD that Oreilly used to have on frequently. His logic and approach to current problems was so convoluted that after experiencing him for 5 minutes on OReilly, my mind was all twisted up as if I’d spent 24 hours among the trick mirrors in the FunHouse at the old Hershey Park. It took me days to get my head straight again. It was a happy day when he moved on to Hahvad U. And for me at least, it removed that blotch of insanity from Penn; that great and prestigious University.
There’s no shortage of that whacko, leftist stuff these days, however. Some snowflake students and some one-worlder alumni from Wharton recently blatted their dissatisfaction with, and disapproval of Candidate Trump. I’ll say one thing for Trump; He has the right kind of detractors.
The argument is at least 20-30 years old and is standard worldview for libs.
Amazed people here are just hearing this nonsense.

You see, I remember the camel’s nose under the tent back in the 1970s during my elementary and later in my high school education.
They start you off by telling you something obvious and making you feel good about how wonderful you are in grasping concepts that were foreign to your parents just 20 years before.
Skin color doesn’t per se affect a person’s ability or worth. Who knew, right?
Then, as all institutions that are under neo-Marxist control do, they subtly and slowly begin changing the terminology, thereby shifting “the frame” (see George Lakoff).
Now, the language has been fully compromised in regards to the term “racism”. It has been reframed as a hegemon-vs-other power struggle, instead of a common sense struggle against prejudice.
The neo-Marxists are no longer ashamed. The veil has been lifted.

Neo-Marxists did the same thing with homosexuality.
It’s now ‘homophobic’ (an invented term) to even question the liberal orthodoxy.
What liberals want is anything to be ‘hate speech’ (which they deem ‘non speech’) that doesn’t agree with their agenda.
They are winning across the board though. Education and media. Conquer that and politics will follow.
This guy is an idiot.
BLM by virtue of being in existence is Racist.
No different than the Congressional Black Caucus.
"CNN’s Marc Lamont Hill: Black People Are Incapable of Racism"
People forget that Michelle's mother (Mrs Robinson) didn't want Michelle to marry Barack because he was of mixed race, and a mulatto .
Maybe he meant to say "incapable of REASON because they lack the INTELLECTUAL power". Applies to him, anyways.
Definition number one: a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others.
A belief or doctrine. Whether you have two nickels to rub together or governmental power is irrelevant. A belief or doctrine. Last time I checked, anyone can have a belief.
This is because they control the US government by their racial bloc voting.
White people, and even hispanic people to a lesser extent, are divided in their approach to voting, forming different voting groups based on their view of the world, e.g. economic socialists, libertarians, social conservatives, etc., and so their voting is divided among politicians who appeal to their various worldviews.
But black people vote as a 96% racial bloc. That bloc decides national presidential elections if they can get out a high enough percentage of their race to vote.
If you listen to interviews with young BLM protesters, they have a higher sense of racial consciousness than even Josef Goebbels and Heinrich Himmler had. It's all "when we was slaves" "they brought us here on ships, we didn't want to come" etc even though no black person has been a slave in the United States in 150 years.
And in exchange for their bloc racial vote, they get institutional preferences both in law and practice, including affirmative action preferences, contract set-asides, a president and Justice Department willing to play along with attempting to railroad into prison innocent non-blacks like the Ferguson officer and George Zimmerman who dare to defend themselves against an attack by a black. If blacks by virtue of their conduct end up a higher percentage in prisons than their proportion of the overall population, the president will even let many out of jail, claiming "racism."
And if welfare was something that just white people used, you can be sure it would not be nearly so generous and doled out with basically no restrictions on anti-social behavior.
So blacks wield enormous power of institutional racism, and it is exercised on their behalf greater than any other group.
