That would be reasonable if this wasn't a PR stunt a bad one at that, why wouldnt he meet with a black intellectual someone who can affect change not a radio host.
Who, Cornel West (Hill's suggestion)? The guy who last week called Trump a "nightmare" and slammed Obama for being a capitalist and criticizing the Baltimore rioters?
If the roles were reversed and the black majority president meet with Opie and Anthony or Howard stern you would also be like wtf?
If America was black majority there would be much bigger problems to worry about than who the president elect was chatting with the week before the inauguration.
Well, Marc Lamont Hill won this round of the argument on who is more annoying he or Van Jones. Though it must be said, Marc Lamont Hill takes some beating when he is on that crazy eyed, leftist ranting with that fever pitched tone. He is indeed a study of somebody who will eventually succumb to mental illness. Far too uptight and the tantrums of a child to match.
Marc Hills biggest issue is that he himself is fairly unknown. To see a celeb like Steve Harvey meeting with the president, really hit a nerve with the egotistical Hill. This poor guy's brain must have been in overdrive as he came to terms with his own relative obscurity. The arrogance to deem those invited to meet with Trump as "mediocre negroes" prove the base negativity and continual need for division by people like Marc Lamont Hill.
marc Lamont actually, "While he says he likes Harvey, and understands his motives, he wishes the Family Feud host had brought experts on race issues with him to the meeting"
Why is it an issue for Steve Harvey to meet with Trump is he supposed to go 4 years without talking to a black person, this is ridiculous. Steve Harvey appears to be good, well intentioned individual and spoke to him about issues in some of our cities. I don't recall it being a big deal when Kanye West met with him a few weeks ago, why the furor.
Besides I don't recall Trump making any stupid statements regarding blacks, everyone else but not blacks.

I get the point CNN contributor Marc Lamont Hill was trying to make.
I also see the double standard. It's OK when a black person refers to another black person at Negro. Had a white person under similar circumstances done so, all hell would have broken loose.
Subsequent, Marc Lamont Hill got into a Twitter exchange with Fox News Contributer, Mikwaukee Sheriff David Clark and Clark lets loose with " Jigaboo".
Can you imagine the ****e storm had say Hannity tweeted that remark?
Both the CNN and Fox News contributers used what are considered derogatory terms to describe people of their own race.

Indeed. But Harvey isn't towing the MSM false narrative that Trump is a racist bigot. That is why he and others were attacked.

Marc Lamont Hill is a mediocre professor at Columbia who wouldn't have any academic job at all if universities hadn't started African American/Africana, Latino/a/Chicano/Chicana, Asian-American, Native American, women's, gay and (soon) transgender "studies" departments back in the 1960s in order to placate SJWs.
Marc Lamont Hill completely ignore the fact that Steve Harvey has a foundation for children where they're set up with mentors, go to camp, get help with the education, etc. Yes his bread and butter is as a comedian and talk show host, but he grew up in Chicago and deals directly with the community. I'm sure the kids whose lives have taken a turn for the better because of his foundation do not think of Harvey as mediocre.
