Two black CNN personalities mocked white people who believe they suffer from discrimination.
CNN host Don Lemon and CNN analyst Marc Lamont Hill were responding to a new NPR poll, where 55 percent of whites felt there is discrimination against Caucasians.
Lemon and Hill, who are both black, were joined by guest Ben Ferguson, who is white. Lemon and Hill found the poll results so hysterical that they could barely speak without cracking up.
“A new poll shows that the majority of white Americans believe there’s discrimination against their race,” said Lemon, who was already stifling his laughter. As Hill shook his head, both men began to laugh.
“Mark, Mark, don’t start already!” said Lemon. “Let me tell about the poll first.”
“White people are amazing,” interrupted Hill. “White people are amazing.”
Hill continued, as Lemon laughed: “We can’t get nothing? We can’t even get discrimination to ourselves? Look, the problem is often times when you are in a position of privilege and power, when that privilege and power is taken away — even a little bit — what is actual equality feels like oppression to you, it feels like discrimination to you.”
“White people are not oppressed for being white,” Hill continued. “White people are not systematically or systemically disenfranchised for being white.”
When Ferguson was finally able to get a word in, he tried to explain that affirmative action is, in fact, legalized discrimination against whites.
Hill responded by the idea that any white people could feel they were victims of discrimination was “wildly irrational.”
