Yeah, they were joking, but this professor is a frequent guest and thereby helps O'LOOFAH claim legitimacy. At least he (playfully) smacked O'LOOFAH back, thank Zeus for small favors.

Bill O'Reilly Tells Black Guest He Looks Like a Drug Dealer


Marc Lamont Hill is the black Liberal Columbia professor who for some reason is always on The O'Reilly Factor. Tonight's episode made Hill's presence even more puzzling, because Bill O'Reilly told him that he looks like someone who sells drugs.

The two were happily discussing Obama's dumb plan to send 1200 troops who will secure the entire Mexican border against illegal immigrants. Then O'Reilly joked: "Say you're a cocaine dealer—and you kind of look like one a little bit." To which Hill replied, gamely: "As do you... you know, you actually look like a cocaine user."

Dang, O'Reilly, having black commentators is supposed to make you look less racist. Unless O'Reilly was talking about Hill's spiffy pinstripe suit. Like, how could you afford such a nice suit unless you were selling drugs? That's probably it.

1. Marc Lamont Hill is a masochist, isn't he?

Why else would he submit himself to the racism and vitriol thrown at him on that network?

2. This is the same O'Loofah who was astonished to learn that people use knives and forks at Sylvia's
the famed Harlem soul food restaurant, patronized by, among others, Barbra Streisand.

4. Good response from Hill,
and probably spot-on. I was wondering how O'Reilly knew what a coke dealer looks like and do coke dealers look different from heroin dealers. Maybe coke dealers are richer and heroin dealers are skinnier and meth dealers are poorer and skinnier than either. I think I'm going to email O'Reilly and ask.
