Marc Lamont Hill Upset Over Idea of White Scholarships Because “Being White Itself Is a Form of Scholarship” – Video 3/2/11

(VIDEO)  African-American Studies professor Marc Lamont Hill is upset over a Texas student’s plan to organize white scholarships. He says “there’s no need” for white scholarships because, “Being white itself is a form of scholarship.” Hill contends, “White people have access to school in ways that black people don’t.”

Hill dismissed the idea as a “spectacle that we see every year” from “white folk who are becoming increasingly frustrated with the fact that the world might be becoming just a little bit more fair.”
