It all started with this tweet from Marc Lamont Hill complaining about the ‘arrogance of White Supremacy’ in regard to Trump’s cabinet being all white. We can only assume Hill is referring to Trump when he says, “unqualified white men.”
Only the arrogance of White Supremacy allows unqualified White men to say that no minorities are qualified to work for them.

Ben Shapiro pointed out a likely uncomfortable truth to Hill:
Yet presumably you would call the only black person in Trump's cabinet, Ben Carson, unqualified. https://t.co/7m3ztj9RKp

Why post something like this? We both know I didn't say that. Show me where I did… cc: @benshapiro https://t.co/PNoBVd2M0f

Why post something like this? Why post something like THAT is the better question; did Hill really think he could make such a racist (yes, racist) statement and not get called out? It was blatant.
"Now, he’s going back to an old time when administrations were all white. That’s very dangerous." — CNN 12/14/16 https://t.co/UOkgQhReMk

Bill Clinton had the whitest cabinet in decades but hey, whatever works for the Left.
And how does that equate to me saying "secretly racist?" I made an argument for diversity. Gender. Race. Geographic. https://t.co/shyO23sJ71

Race.
"All white." Race. https://t.co/XJXx3xwCzg

Boom.
Yes. These are not competing claims. The cabinet can need more diversity and still have an unqualified Black person. https://t.co/h8cc4oAhtE

What? But Hill was just telling us all how important diversity is; maybe he needs to prioritize his diversity? This all gets so confusing, however do these folks keep it all straight?
I believe Ben Carson is perfectly qualified for several cabinet positions. Just not HUD. Black people aren't interchangeable. https://t.co/h8cc4oAhtE

Neither are white people. Or orange people. Or purple people – which is the POINT of challenging the notion of supporting diversity simply to prove you’re diverse. People are individuals and NOT interchangeable regardless of their race.
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
