I have a national daily show, an international weekly show, and a correspondent job on a major network magazine show. I’m a tenured Presidential Professor at a major university. I’m a producer of multiple shows and films. I’m a bestselling author. I own one of the biggest black bookstores in America. I have a great career. And I stood for JUSTICE. I sleep well at night. No regrets.

@marclamonthill A tenured professorship at @CUNY just means you lost the antisemitism Olympics and had to settle for a third rate institution of hate @marclamonthill .
@AlanFJr CUNY Grad Center is third rate? Wow. You must teach somewhere great. Where are you?
@marclamonthill @AlanFJr I’m sure you have lots of well-respected academic publications… Not.
@marclamonthill @AlanFJr Like this? Hill, M.L. (2006). Using Jay-Z to reflect on post 9/11 race relations. English Journal. 96(5), 25-29.
Or this? Hill, M.L. (2009). Wounded healers: Forming a community through storytelling in Hip-Hop Lit. Teachers College Record, 111(1), 248-293. All your work as a cultural commentator on hip hop shows your amazing background in the history of the Middle East, explaining the perspicacity of your “River to the Sea” genocidal perspective.
@marclamonthill @AlanFJr Teachers College Record is known, after all, for cultivating experts on international affairs.
What a fascinating argument. You point to articles written 15 years ago on hip-hop to prove that I don’t have an academic background on Israel Palestine. A bit deceptive to mention hip hop articles while ignoring my graduate training in both anthropology and middle eastern studies, no? If we’re talking about my formal preparation in Middle East history, why mention a TCR article and fail to mention my graduate degree in Middle Eastern Studies? Why mention a practitioner article from 2005 and not reference the 9 years of anthropological fieldwork that I conducted in Jerusalem? Or the ethnographic film a produced based on years of extensive research in the West Bank, Tel Aviv, and the Negev? Or the advanced Arabic certifications I got from Al Quds University? Or the books and articles I wrote on Israel/Palestine since shifting back to Middle East Studies a decade ago? Do you really think that the case you presented, while clever and persuasive to the uninformed, would be viewed as fair to a reasonable person with all the facts about my education and experience?
@marclamonthill @AlanFJr You were boasting of your position at CUNY. That position was based on the work (and related work) I cited, and a professorship in urban education, not the Middle East.
