FULL TITLE: Marc Lamont Hill: Trump’s Diversity Coalition ‘A Bunch of Mediocre Negroes’ ‘Dragged In’ ‘As a Photo-Op’
On Monday’s “CNN Tonight,” Morehouse College Professor and CNN Commentator Marc Lamont Hill stated that President-Elect Donald Trump’s diversity coalition was “a bunch of mediocre negroes being dragged in front of TV as a photo-op for Donald Trump’s exploitative campaign against black people.”
Hill said, “I love Steve Harvey and I have respect for Steve Harvey and I think his intentions were accurate — or appropriate rather, but my disagreement is the way in which he’s being used by folk like Donald Trump. Again, his intention is just to have a seat at the table. But when you’re at the table, you should have experts at the table. You should have people who can challenge the president at the table. … Because all — because they keep bringing up comedians and actors and athletes to represent black interests is demeaning, it’s disrespectful, and it’s condescending. Bring some people up there with some expertise Donald Trump, don’t just bring up people to entertain.”
He added, “Unless Steve Harvey turns into a policy analyst in the behind the scenes meetings, it doesn’t matter what I was — I’m saying, my concern is who — the people he’s trumpeting up and putting in front of the cameras.”
After Trump’s diversity coalition was raised, Hill stated, “it was a bunch of mediocre negroes being dragged in front of TV as a photo-op for Donald Trump’s exploitative campaign against black people.”

MLKIII is mediocre?
I guess Mark was sub-par then.
I would say that Hill qualifies as mediocre and racist jerk!
Brother Lamont, we don’t need trigger words like that anymore, check your culture.
Dr. Ben Carson is mediocre?
Guess who’s coming to dinner - with the Deplorables!
Can you hear the people sing?
Mediocre Negro = A black person willing to depart from Dem/liberal orthodoxy after observing what it has done to black inner cities.
lol
Why do I doubt that this guy ever had a problem with Obama parading around with Black celebrities ?
These people must feel they simply are not speaking loudly enough for we who must be led to hear them.
So Ben Carson, a highly accomplished neurosurgeon is... “mediocre?”
What again as that little bitch Marc LaMont Hill ever accomplished?
"I call on all men and women of good will to help me in that endeavor" would be an outstanding applause line,IMO.
Didn’t Marc Lamont Hill use the other racist “N” word?
Hill is a race pimp.
The negra foreman don’ts likes it when da crop workers leaves da plantation.
He gots to splain it all to his massas in the DNC.
Mediocre is a huge leap forward for his people. He should be overjoyed!
That was exactly what I thought. Obama did nothing for eight years but feature black entertainment and sports stars at his events. I don’t recall any great black intellectuals turning up on the guest list.
I’m sick of this color stuff anyway. When will it ever end???
LOL, keep talking, fools. Louder! We want EVERYbody to hear you!
It is more than Hatred. It is Fear. Fear that Trump may be able to take a big slice out of the Black Vote during his term in office. If the democrats are unable to hold together their solid Black vote, they know as a party they will be in permanent minority status. Therefore, what is going on now is a fight for the democrat Party Survival and they will do and say anything to hold their Black coalition together.
