Marc Lamont Hill: Trump’s Diversity Coalition ‘A Bunch of Mediocre Negroes’

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.”

Even when Trump appoints a minority candidate, he is still being a mean and careless individual. It has to be the exact minority candidate that the liberals would pick or they will bash him. makes sense.

same people telling us that Meryl Streep's opinion has value for Americans!
Steve Harvey has a pulse on what's happening in black communities. He is respected and appreciated by all races. He's someone who can help SOLVE the problems.
