Famed television host and activist Marc Lamont Hill spoke with VladTV about an array of topics, including why he doesn’t think Black people can be racist, Black celebrities getting demonized, and his thoughts on his mentor, Bill O’Reilly.
When asked about his thoughts on O’Reilly saying that the White House slaves “were well-fed and had decent lodgings,” which Hill said made him cringe. He added that his mentor doesn’t think that white people are better than black people, but Hill says that O’Reilly “shares the same views as many white people.”
During the interview, Marc also told DJ Vlad that he’s optimistic that Blacks will get reparations for slavery because it would mean that America would have to come to terms with the past. He then segued into a conversation about why he doesn’t believe that Black people can be racist, as he believes that they aren’t institutionally empowered enough to be racist.
