'Good times': Marc Lamont Hill recalls when he shamed a female colleague for saying his desk was messy and she cried 'weaponized white tears'

Marc Lamont Hill is a professor at Temple University, as well as a professional racebaiter and anti-Semite.

But he didn’t come this far overnight. He had a lot of obstacles to triumph over first.

Obstacles like a white female colleague:

Thinking about my first year as a tenure-track professor, 15 years ago. A white woman colleague told me that my desk was too messy. For about a week, she’d walk by and say “clean your room, Marc!!!” Eventually, I told her that it felt paternalistic. She cried. Good times.

'She cried' …She dished it out but couldn't take the mildest critique

ahhhh the knee-jerk racist white woman tears when they instigate and you respond by calling them on their bulls***. Definitely good times.

Love when they can’t handle the clap back; at all.

Don’t we all?

Why do I suspect I know who that was? ?

— Camika Royal (@DrCamikaRoyal) September 8, 2020

Because you know EXACTLY who that was.

Do tell, Marc. Let’s make her shame public!

You made it a point to specify that she was “white”. You could have just left it as “a women” you work with, but that just wasn’t enough for you.

Because her whiteness was relevant. She weaponized white tears when she was (quite gently!) told how her inappropriate behavior made me feel. https://t.co/DiUvflim4p

Nice talk from an academic.

Those white tears…doesn't take much.

White woman tears. They can dish it out, but when you give it back, you’re attacking them!!! SMH!!!

I have so many stories that end with them crying… like why pic.twitter.com/ROZez2mdxa

Weaponizing those tears is a white woman’s greatest trait.

We’ll get back to you when we discover a great trait on Hill’s part.

"She wasn't wrong about my messy desk, I just felt like being a dick and it worked!"
