CNN's Marc Lamont Hill: Blacks meeting with Trump are 'mediocre Negroes'
thehill.com ^ | 1/17/17 | Joe Concha

Posted on 01/17/2017 10:02:10 AM PST by ColdOne

CNN's Marc Lamont Hill referred to Trump diversity team member Bruce LeVell as a part of a group of "mediocre Negroes" who met with the president-elect.

The characterization, which includes Pastor Darryl Scott and television host and comedian Steve Harvey, came during a panel discussion with host Don Lemon on "CNN Tonight" on Monday.

“They (the Trump transition team) keep bringing up comedians and and actors athletes to represent black interests. It’s demeaning, it’s disrespectful, and it’s condescending,” Hill argued. “Bring some people up there with expertise, Donald Trump, don’t just bring up people to entertain.”

[a group of “mediocre Negroes”]

Isn’t that hate speech?

Do you really think things will be any different?

CNN, MSNBC and the MSM will STILL use the same go-to hacks
and will run to Obama and all of the former staffers and agency heads more than to the new POTUS and HIS actual staffers and agency heads.

At least he didn't invite an ignorant Negro like Lamont. This clown has been spewing diarrhea from his mouth ever since he opened it on TV.

Another case of "if a white commentator had said this he/she would have been fired."

That’s what the left thinks of people.

I keep remembering the press play the genius states-woman Meryl Streep got with her ill-informed remarks. What was it? A week?

This is the kind of clip that needs to be brought into play early and often to remind Americans of every color how they are insulted by these elitists.

Just...wow. Can you imagine a white republican saying something like THAT?

One thing Obama, Holder, et. al and the last 8 years have done - they have empowered radical black race theories, so-called "nationalism," etc.. and above all have made black racism publicly acceptable.

Its a very negative and dangerous thing.

Wow perhaps Marc Lamont will be so good as to release his comprehensive rankings of notable minorities so everyone can steer clear of mediocracy. I had no idea CNN or their commentators had developed such a labeling list.

This is the guy who speaks with such rapid fire delivery that it causes one to think that he is on meth.

Jim Brown and Ray Lewis will be highly amused.

I'd like to hear Marc Lamont Hill call either of these guys a "Mediocre Negro" to their face!

CNN personnel are addicted to dumb pills. I hope Trump ceases to be interviewed by CNN and prevents them from attending any press conferences.

He did; he started with a brain surgeon.


A mediocre brain surgeon because he doesn’t support the random murder of police officers.

The media always plays up the Republican “litmus” test for candidates, and ALWAYS claims that there is a Civil War within the Republican party, because of these litmus tests.

Yet, they conveniently ignore these RACIST, BIASED LITMUS tests that Liberal blacks put onto other blacks. It’s a damn disgrace that it’s done, and even a bigger disgrace for the media to ignore and downplay the actions of these idiotic Liberals!!

Maybe Mr. Hill can develop a color-coded system like the old terror threat indicator. I suspect a full mediocre negro warning would be dark brown in Mr. Hill’s world, despite not exactly being coffee with cream himself.

“Yeah, 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. And you are an example of that,” Hill said.

This quote shows Lamont Hill is not an advocate for Black advancement but willing tool of white Democrats.
