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

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.”

At 1:48, for those who simply can’t abide these clowns any longer than a few seconds.

“[a group of “mediocre Negroes”]

Isn’t that hate speech?”

That all depends on who is speaking. People like Hill and Lewis are immune from hate speech.

If that statement isn’t racist, then what is???

How about being called a "Kreepy Azz Kracka" by a friend at work? LOL, it was a joke played while others were getting on the elevator...an uncomfortable silence erupted on the way down.

That’s mighty black of you, Marc. You did not say that they were mediocre men or people, but had to bring race into it as though they were things or chattel.

If you blackwash every time a person expresses their own opinion, it tells me that the only thing that matters to you is keeping everyone on your plantation.

Trump doesn’t talk to Blacks: racist. Trump talks to Blacks: racist.

Steve Harvey has been an excellent contributor to society from birth, he's experienced with many blue and white collar jobs and advanced easily.

He's worked with many Cabinets: (auto tools, insurance forms, carpet chemicals, posted mail), then leveraged his natural acting and comedy skills to achieve unparalleled success on stage and screen. Wow.

But then, Trump is not talking to Steve Harvey about a Cabinet position, but asking Steve, who is a red-blooded American Worker, to recognize his HARD WORK and his opinions on jobs and people for various opportunities.

Thanks for your many contributions, Steve, including meeting with ‘The Donald’ ( no small thing )

If you are asked to serve, as Americans we already know your answer.

“If he invites no blacks, he is a racist. If he invites numerous blacks then it’s the wrong blacks.”

By the Democrat’s lights (as they are):
If you don’t accept diversity and inclusiveness, you’re a racist.
If you try to be diverse and inclusive, you are expropriating and exploiting black culture, and you are a racist.
If you are black, but aren’t outraged by Trump’s expropriation and exploitation of black people, as well as his lack of diversity and inclusiveness, you are a mediocre Negro.

Guys, looks like the `rats got us: anyone not them is a hopeless, mediocre racist.

Marc Lamont Hill is the very reason some folks refer to darkies as n*ggers.

Would be highly entertaining to bring Lewis and Brown on and have Hill tell them to their faces that they’re mediocre Negroes.

And Marc Lamont Hill would have to fly really high just to get to mediocrity.

I remember this guy from when he used to go on O’Reilly. From what I’ve seen of him, I think I can say without fear of contradiction that he is a racist.

“...Blacks meeting with Trump are ‘mediocre Negroes’...”

Since he didn’t ask you, Marc, does that make you just a field hand?

It seems (white?)liberals demand that Blacks live, behave and believe in the “approved Liberal Plantation” way. If not they’re “mediocre Negroes” (as per “approved” African-Amercan Marc Lamont Hill). If they do not behave in the “approved” manner, they’re also “uncle Toms”... it seems this requirement is the textbook definition of racism. Gotta think like “white masser” liberal demands, or pay the price for running away from the liberal “plantation”.

Mediocre = Escaped from the Plantation.
A word to wear with pride, like Deplorable.
