1. They're nothing if not shameless.

Thanks you for finding and posting this, brooklynite.

It's as important we know this, as it is disturbing.

2. Holy crap - Is any actual radio or TV running it?

bad enough it is out on the internet

[gratuitous]

3. This ad was put out by Black Americans for the President's Agenda

You can see their website in all its glory here:

I believe a composite of all 27 members are featured on the scrolling top photos. Their national chair is Jill Upson. Open Secrets has their expenditures through 9/24/18:

And a handy list of donors who've given BAPA $200 or more:

12. Hill himself has condemned the ad

“I condemn this outrageous ad in the strongest terms,” he said in a statement. “There’s no place in Arkansas for this nonsense.”

14. Can't blame him. It almost looks as though someone

is trying to sabotage him. Either that, or intended for beyond stupid people.

This a very strange time we are living in.

13. I found some very interesting trends in analyzing this group

Gratuitous put up a link to the "Black Americans for the President's Agenda" page on OpenSecrets. I decided to google a few of the names and found that quite a few of the donors to this superpac were also donors to two other superpacs: the Hispanic Victory PAC, and Black America's PAC. And all these guys also donate to state Republican parties, nationwide GOP candidates and anti-Democratic Party advocacy groups.

Two other things pop out: the vast majority of the people who donate to these three PACs list their occupations as Retired, and none of them have ethnic names. I'm really having a problem imagining a scenario where hundreds of old white people are just champing at the bit to donate huge sums of money to minority PACs and out-of-state politicians - UNLESS someone is laundering money through them.
