White People Need To Be ‘Race Traitors’, Trading in White Privileged, Says Marc Lamont Hill (Video)

Marc Lemont Hill isn’t your typical black correspondent to white media. This guy actually tells it like it is and isn’t afraid to speak truth to white people…or in this case Don Lemon, who seems to be an advocate of white privilege.

In this clip, Lemon ask Hill a very powerful question. One that took me by a bit of surprise to hear it posed on national television and in the mainstream media…and it received an answer i’m sure they were not expecting otherwise may have not asked in the first place.

What’s the question?

Don Lemon asked….

“What can white Americans do better in this country dealing with this racial divide?”

Instead of your typical platitudes, warm and fuzzies and all around empty rhetoric many other black people would have spewed in front of the national white media. Hill rose to the occasion and delivered a poignant answer that I believe many in the black community would echo.

Hill started off by letting the white Americans and Lemon know that they must acknowledge their is a racial divide in this country. Despite how “intoxicating”, and I love the use of this word here, it is to pretend we live in a post racial world because there is a black President. We have not even almost began to deal with the racial issues in this country.

He quickly moves on to address that not being racist isn’t enough. That is great that they are not involved in direct racism, however, they are quietly benefiting by not doing anything to remove the system of privilege they benefit from and subjugates the black community.

Therefore if they want to really eradicate this issue, then they must ACT…not only during protest in places like Baltimore, but in their cities and communities as well.

From there, he dropped the hammer and flat out said it. If white people want to make change, then they must become “race traitors” and work against the very white privilege that they benefit from on a daily basis.

Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, it isn’t. Take a moment to soak in the glory that is known as Marc Lemont Hill.
