@USA4July1776 You start of by acknowledging that racism and classism are worth avoiding (I agree, because they disrespect human dignity). But then you go on to name-call those people who genuinely attempt to do something about racism and classism - by calling them "the real bigots" (and using rhetoric like "marxist-progressive agenda").
What does this type of talk achieve? Well, I can't take anything you say seriously, you seem to have an axe to grind, since your conclusions don't follow.
The vast majority of "white" people have never oppressed anyone, have worked and struggled to survive, have experienced both racism and classism.
Imagine that.
The purpose of useful idiots like Hill is to systematically label any movement perceived to be a threat to the marxist-progressive agenda as racist, when it is them who are the real bigots, seeking to intimidate anyone who dares not to goose step to leftist marching orders.
@USA4July1776 To be fair... have you ever SEEN or FELT or EMPATHISED with the depth and breadth of disillusionment, distress, frustration, isolation, insulation, and suffering that is in store for millions of poor black children (and poor white chidren) throughout the US & Europe?
Have you ever spared a fair THOUGHT for the millions who (if enough of us continue to think like you) will be born into childhoods where they can expect to navigate a system lacking basic dignities & opportunities?
@USA4July1776 be fair. Prof Marc Lamont Hill is an ideological inheritor of racists the world denounces? You're comparing him to people who destroyed property, lynched men, raped women, and went as far as to bomb a black church killing four young black girls (1968 Birmingham Bombing).
The history of American racism is saddening. I don't know how to feel about your extravagant comparisons between the facts of the past and Prof Hill... be fair.
@billdenton57 i try to be fair. from what i've seen Prof Hill is impressively intelligent. he's insightful, critical, cogent, and clear. you talk about bias - perhaps you could cast an eye to a mirror - you need a special kind of bias to undervalue his intellect so remarkably that you can say it's wrong he was endowed as a professor at Columbia.
Sarah Palin for President? OH PLEASE NO! People think Obama is bad. Palin is a total airhead. She's great for rallying her movement. No matter who we get we're doomed. Politics is smoke & mirrors. The Dems & Repubs aren't that much different & politicians talk big but accomplish little they boast about. As a black man I'm proud to say I didn't vote for Obama. So it's nothing against Palin. I just think the nation would sink further with her in charge. Rd.1 Laura Rd.2 Marc.
Why is Marc Lamont Hill "a professor at Columbia University?" anybody wanna blow $50K-plus a year to send your child to this distinguished institution to hear this biased, inaccurate garbage shoved down your child's throat? In any measure how can anyone say that this man is a worthy educator?? Most surveys of college educators show a 18:1 left-liberal bias....WHY would anyone contribute to college endowments with this anti-american propaganda being shoveled at impressionable minds? Insanity!
Marc Lamont Hill, when speaking of "lingering white supremacism" is actually playing up the black supremacist narrative instead. Whites in America are ridden with guilt and self-loathing, while so-called minorities, are often represented by third world race supremacists from "black caucuses" "black clubs" "BET" "EBONY" etc, not to mention CAIR or La Raza...
Marc Lamont Hill, along with Sharpton, Wright, Jackson and so on, are the ideological inheritors of the racists they pretend to denounce.

The truth is an amazing thing.
