  • Roland got friggin pwned.

  • Shirley Sherrod straight son'd roland martin serves him right.

  • Poor Roland. Embarrassingly flawed analysis.

  • Roland's wife works as a "pray the gay away" therapist and the word on the street is he was one of his patients. Hmmmm

  • @gombis666 you must know since you attended

  • @187Unseen - Right. As an openly gay person, I was merely making a comment that it's been my understanding that he's gay. I;m sorry you (and Roland) think that's a bad thing. I just want him to come out and be himself.

  • roland martin was dead wrong..........Shirley Sherrod ripped him a new asshole

  • For my money, few 2010 news items were odder than the cellphone "pull over" quixotic journey of Dept. of Agriculture worker Shirley SherROD to the unemployment line. I don't think there's a plenary nexus connection to to 66th U.S. Secretary of State, CONDOleeZZa (spells 1st name with two Zs like piZZa, when seemingly one would do), but Ag Sec. Tom VilSACK (who offered sHERrod her job back) was born in PITTSBURGH, PA on 12/12/50. Hines WARD & Troy Polamalu play for the NFL Pittsburgh Steelers

  • Probably unlike fmr. Dept. of Agriculture worker Shirley SherROD, 66th US Sec. of State condoLEEzza Rice (#67: HILLary rodHAM clinTON) is a voracious NFL fan and was sometimes mentioned as a possible successor to NFL commissioner PAUL John TAGliaBUe. The 66th U.S. Sec. of State could remind of the 666 Mark of the Beast in the New Testament (Rev. 13:18). Shirley SherROD working under Dep. of Agriculture Sec. TOM VilSACK is unrelated to ROD's phallic euphemism or VilSACK ending like scrotal SACK

  • Who knows if Roland Sebastian Martin is an NFL fan or gives much consideration to the Dept. Of Agriculture’s role in regulating safety for the food he eats at the dinner table in his home or has room service deliver when he’s traveling to do the important work of a television journalist. Nevertheless, Martin (b. 1968 in Houston, TX) shares a NOV. 14 birthday with 66th U.S. Sec. of State condoLEEzza Rice (b. 1954 BirmingHAM, AL). Unrelated: Vivian doppelgangers/Travis LANDon BARKer (b. 11/14/75)

  • Comment removed

  • Who knows if CNN's Roland Sebastian Martin appreciates the USDA's role in food safety as he interviews fired USDA worker Shirley SHErROD. In any event, Martin (b. 1968) has a NOV. 14 birthday. A former NBA player who celebrates his birthday one day earlier has a name that evokes eating, if not food safety: RuMEAL JAMES ROBinSON (b. Nov. 13, 1966 in MANdeville, Jamaica). First name RUmeal could remind of "ruing the day" or ruing too many or a particular meal. Unrelated: 11th grade doppelGANGers

  • RuMEAL JAMES ROBinSON (b. Nov. 13, 1966 in manDEVILle, Jamaica) was the 10th overall selection of the 1990 NBA Draft and just 389 days before some milestone meals. Lionel Simmons (b. in Philadelphia), the 7th pick of the 1990 NBA Draft, was born the same day as CNN's Roland Sebastian Martin (b. in Houston, TX): NOV. 14, 1968. Unrelated to community college; Martin interviews with #44, Barack Hussein Obama, or Obama's dog BO: LOYola Marymount's BO KIMble was the 8th pick of the 1990 NBA Draft

  • RuMEAL JAMES ROBinSON (b. Nov. 13, 1966 in manDEVILle, Jamaica), the 10th overall selection of the 1990 NBA Draft, has a birthday one day before CNN's Roland Sebastian Martin (b. Nov. 14, 1968). Like ROBinSON, the 13th pick of the 1990 NBA Draft, LOY VAUGHt (by the L.A. Clippers), also played college basketball for the Michigan Wolverines. VAUGHt begins spelling like VAUGHN, evoking First Lady Michelle LaVAUGHN Robinson. First name LOY begins like BO KIMble's alma mater, LOYola Marymount

  • Who knows if CNN's Roland Sebastian Martin likes NBA basketball, but the 13th pick of the 1990 NBA Draft, LOY VAUGHt (b. in Grand Rapids, MI, 1967) shares a FEB. 27 birthday with NFL tight end Tony Gonzalez (b. 1976 in Torrance, CA) who was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs with the 13th pick of the 1997 NFL Draft. Unrelated to military draft or "surge" themes: Gonzalez famously saved the life of KEN HUNTER, a SHIPPING company MANAGER who was choking at HUNTingTON BEACH, CA restaurant CAPone's

  • This comment is posting on 01/13/11--five days after the above comments about RuMEAL ROBINSON, Lionel Simmons (born same day as CNN's Roland Sebastian Martin: 11/14/68) and the 1990 NBA Draft were posted just hours before U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ 8th) was shot at a scheduled meet-and-greet session outside a Safeway grocery in her home district (Tucson) on Sat. Jan. 8, 2011. Sharing Simmons & Martin's NOV. 14 birthday: incumbent Tucson mayor, Robert E. Walkup (R) (b. 1936, in Ames, IA)

  • BLU KENNEDY and LOGAN STEELE in “Farmer’s Son” especially reminds of BOSTON’s LOGAN airport since Steve BOSTON is also in the cast. The cast also includes Jamie DONOVAN; Jason aDONis. Patrick Fisher. ZACHARY PIERCE (like penetrate) in the cast reminds of cherry hole themes since 12th prez ZACH Taylor died from a poisonous snack of milk (verb: to pump) & CHERRIES. JESSIE Zane in the cast evokes a U.S. Senate theme since JESSE Helms represented NC & John F. KENNEDY (not BLU), Massachusetts b4 prez

  • BLU KENNEDY in "Farmer's Son" could remind of 35th prez, John F. KENNEDY-- last U.S. prez to die in office. Unrelated: Some religious types calling Interstate 35 a prophetic highway because of Isaiah 35:8 (watch?v=uiAu6UA9yU0). I-35 runs through DALLAS, where JFK was assassinated in 1963. Some attached the 8/01/07 I-35 bridge collapse in Minneapolis with this. Unrelated: CHARMin's TV ad for Ultra STRONG tissue hinting 9/11 with 9 seconds elapsed and KENNEDY half dollars on "twin tower" pieces

  • “Knight of the Juggernaut” started “Knight Rider” 1985-86 season with new cast member Peter Parros(wife Jerri; son Clayton) as 'RC3' & Pamela Susan Shoop as Marta Simmons. After being ramroded by Juggernaut, KITT says, “We’re losing power” as a graphic shows a “Laser Charge” reading and evidence of “The Circuit”.Unrelated: WNCT-TV ending broadcast day with Rex Marshall’s “Circuit Rider” around the same time; WNCT reporters Rex Roland or Harris Faulkner bolting to Kansas City; watch?v=4uqGWTZn6p0

  • Roland . You made a mistake. Admit it dude!

  • Roland Martin is an Asshole, he's made because he lost to Elliot Spizter the whore monger. Martin, sore loser

  • I am losing more and more respect for Roland. Ever since he's been close to the POTUS, his head has gotten bigger!

    He was wrong! Ben Jealous was wrong! Ben immediately issued an apology upon discovering the doctored video. Roland? On this video he has a smug look as if Ms. Sherrod is a gnat flying around his face.

    He's still trying to justify his mistake!

  • After listening to Mr. Rolan Martin comments today, I don't respect him as I did. He should have apologized for jumping the gun, just as did Pres. Obama. I can relate to this behavior. Many of our black men in power have always bowed down, and left the black women defenseless, had she been wrong, that's one thing. But, they stoned her before hearing the truth. Racist people play group against one another, and that is the reason Afri. Amer. are so divided today.

  • Shirley: Mr. Obama, dem white folks is saying I is a racist.

    Obama: Don't worry, Shirley, only honkies can be racists. Don't ya'll listen to dem crackers. As a reward I is gonna give ya'll a raise!! Dat way ya'll can keep feedin' dat fat face of ya'lls!!

  • Mrs Sherrod was there when the USA/White war against Blacks was out in the open & justified with out shame! However, today American White Racists have did a "snow job" on their war against Blacks which continues today! Too many Whites want docile Negroes who never show their "human" feelings against the violence & oppression against them! Whites should b ashamed to even talk about the nightmare reflections of oppressed Blacks! 2day America has 5% of the world's population but 30% of its inmates!

  • IT IS BAD THAT HISPANIC, AND WHITE MEN HAVE TO DEFEND BLACK WOMEN.

    The World is Starting to get a Glimpse at the Black males insanity towards the Black vaginas that give him birth.

  • Roland Martin is a Fat Sellout Pussie. He Make our Black Kings Look Bad.

    Roland have Degraded Black Babies. to. HE LICK A LOT OF DOOKIE, HE KEEP HIS TONGUE IN HIS MASTERS ASS.

  • Shirley Cherade calls Obama:

    Shirley: Bro, dem white folks is calling me a dirty fat racist!!

    Obama: Don't worry Shirley, only white folks can be racists. How 'bout if I reward you with a promotion for being a dirty fat racist?

    Shirley: Works for me. With the extra money I can buy more food to stuff into my fat face.

    Odama: You go, girl!!

  • Yea bro I consider myself left-leaning but this guy makes it sound really bad. He acts with his emotions, not his reason.

  • Sherrod don't want her job back because this forced her to resign

  • She deserved to be fired, just on arrogance.

  • This is hilarious. Shirley Sherrod lost her mind many years ago. It's funny to watch a loud mouth get out matched by another loud mouth.lol

  • What was that first point?

  • Bottom line remains: This Sherrod woman, may have helped this white man... but I find it troubling that she has such a chip on her shoulder to think that "he was talking for a long time as white do, to show me he was superior.." Doesn't matter how THIS particular story ended... the fact remains, SHE had MAJOR issues with white people and their style of talking... I hope more people realize this aspect of this woman.

  • Shirley isn't all that slow... she has supposedly been awarded 13 million dollars paid out to black farmers (400 were originally awarded 50 thousand) and now 86,000 have been awarded 1.2 BILLION!!! Interesting that there are ONLY 39,000 black farmers!!!

  • @ProudConservative2 waaaaaaa I am an old washed up white honkey 600 pounds and I want my country back WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAA GIVE ME MY WHITE COUNTRY BACK I CANT TAKE IT ANYONE WAAAAAAAAAAA WHY CANT WE TEA KLUX KLANERS GET AWAY WITH LYNCHING ANYMORE WAAAAAAA

  • Is Shirley Sherrod on drugs. The dumb bitch is slow as shit. Roland Martin id freak. What's up with his hair?lol He needs to shut his hole up. He's always complaining about something.

  • wow! she attacked him more viciously than fox news and briet"fart"

  • That fucking coon!!

  • Rick is so dumb! I wish he and rest of the country has some deep scars regarding racism and sweeping it under the rug and not talking about it doesnt help. We need to talk about it all to heal form our pain

  • Whites dont care, never have cares, and never will give 2 cents about you if you have that brown skin and it burns to my soul when I see a black man with a white woman or a black woman with a white man! If you only knew what they really think of you! White people could care less if every black person fell off the earth today. They all would probably celebrate! damn racist crakers!

  • @nickelwindow53 that isn't true for every single white person i do care what people of color go through and have gone through just like not every person of color isnt so call ghetto or a thug it isnt about color it about who the person is within and i know they hadso many ignorant white people back then and to this day they still but not all of us arelike that

  • Diversity is weakness and multiculturalism is a conflict-ridden disaster. USA is fragmenting and becoming increasingly balkanized with every non-white group openly building race based political groups and areas. (But it is ILLEGAL for whites to do what blacks, jews, muslims, latinos, etc. can do.) The only answer for Whites is SEPARATATION. Fed up White people want OUT. White Euros of non-jewish heritage need a separate, sovereign nation. USA must give White people their own region.

  • I am not even Jewish and if A Neo Nazi Racist asked me for directions on a busy New York City Street, I would point him to Hell! Are u serious Roland? I have lost all respect for you!

  • Both Shirley and Roland are racist! Bottom line!

  • Wow, 3 morons all being morons at once...priceless

  • Roland Martin makes me think of High blood pressure and heart attacks. My heavens that guy needs to lose weight. Looks like he's about to pop out of that suit.

  • Ricki Sanchez is such a stupid ass. I can't believe CNN has this idiot as a host. He does nothing to allow Roland Martin to finish because Sherrod keeps interrupting him. The more Shirley Sherrod speaks, the worse her image seems to get. I am sure she had her moment of "enlightenment"....no doubt about it. But for goodness sakes, Sanchez just lets her keep interrupting. Sanchez sucks because he is not allowing both sides to be equally heard.

  • never trust a person that say i this and i that alot i got that from a older person

  • All he had to do is admit he made a mistake in passing judgment and apologize instead of trying to justify his folly.

  • the deal is the Teaparty r modern day klansmen how n the hell u bring guns to intimidate the president & spit on Blk Politicians faces so yes the NAACP r right with their assesment of them however when tape surfaced they were so quick to bash Ms Sherrod n appeasing the white folks they appear as weak chickens I think the lightskinned Pres. of NAACP needs to resign! & Ms Sherrod sue for slander, defamation etc. all other blks got fired with no $ get yours girlfriend & u were so cute when young

  • It's unfortunate what happened with her being forced to resign, but this story is only continuing to be dragged because the president is black. If the same thing would've occurred with any of the previous presidents, as it has before, the media wouldn't even be discussing this anymore. This would be handled behind the scene.

  • @Par5Birdie when is he going to start acting like a good black man and help poor people of all colors races and beliefs. he is supossed to be the most powerful man in the world y are the rich getting richer and poor people listen to cnn and fox play the blame game and my city is fallen apart, but the hiways are looking better for me to get the hell out of here.

  • @REAL88E You wrote, "when is he going to start acting like a good black man". What's the definition of a "good black man". I see him as a man, as the President, as a human being. Nobody should be define nor have expectations based on their skin color. People have been getting richer for centuries and that's not going to stop unless innovation stops, which shouldn't stop. By the way, most of the President's powers are limited to the Senate. Knock on your senators' door first.

  • @Par5Birdie the hand behind the puppets rule this country. the senate and house are wwf wrestling events for the public . take for example in the news today are they going to get 60 billion dollars to fund the ongoing war. ofcoarse they are. being black got him black votes did it not. its not a black thing he claimed while he was running to bring change to america and he did thats all the average american has is change in their pockets.

  • Roland Martin got owned big time

  • Roland......Let it go Bro.

  • She didn't even let Roland talk. I'm sorry I don't respect that, I was interested to hear what he had to say. And that whole "Where did you grow up?" thing was just sad. Let the man speak, he has the right to. What he was saying was pretty legitimate, or could have been, had she not interrupted every five seconds. If she were so confident in herself she would have let someone with a different opinion come forward.

  • Are we looking at the same video??? He does not create an forum for dialog, whilst calling himself a journalist. He keeps talking, and talking and talking. When she tries to dialog, he interrupts her! Roland Martin is a total embarrassment to the concept of responsible journalism!

  • The Shirley Sherrod incident that happened on thursday was just a diversion by Faux News and the White House to shield the public from the President signing an agreement renewing ties with Indonesian's notorious military unit that was responisble for the genocide of the Timorese people between 1975-2006 in the country of East Timor. East Timor shares an island with Indonesia. I'm sure Faux News and the White House had a good chuckle thursday. They once again played Americans for fools.

  • I always thought Roland is a man who understand where the blacks comes from,shirley lost her father,killed by white people,she grew up in a racist environment and she commited her life to change that,she said its not about the color but about the rich and the poor,roland doesnt get it,Roland you dont get it

  • I think part of the problem with this is that they tried to fire Mrs.Sherrod the wrong way. Normally you get called to an office and it's explained to you why you're getting fired. Had they done this with Mrs.Sherrod she could have at some point clarified her comments on the video and all of this would have been avoided. So fire people the normal way in an office next time so they can explain themselves.

  • We just need to start White Slavery soon. Put those fat tea partiers to work and beat the crap out of them when they don't obey.

  • @ishmahal1111 White slavery already existed... It's sad we don't get taught a world view in regards to things like slavery since we put so much emphasis on it in schools. 

  • @ajtriggful I am sure some of your ancestors came to this great nation in chains and were beaten to death if they tried to run away. Off course White slavery existed in Greece and Rome, but in avery different context; in fact some slaves also became great leaders. The brutal actions committed by Europeans in the New World can't be denied.

  • @ishmahal1111 actually, my ancestors aren't from this nation so no. We're recent immigrants. I'm not denying it, sorry if it came across that way. I was just pointing out that it did happen, I thought you meant it would be new. and I was talking about Scottish slavery in the Bahamas and the Whites who were taken on the Arab slave trade, but it happened in Rome too.

  • @ajtriggful that may be true , but slavery involving African Americans was the most harsh slavery!

  • The Boule Niggers are getting caught playing Colonial Master! Amazingly the Mom God factor never gets considered! No wonder Liberty is less discussed than rights!

  • Whites are ready to move on in a non racist fashion, but it seems Blacks will NEVER get over their history. Obama does not want reparations because it is not enough, based on his collective salvation beliefs. We are in a lot of trouble.

    Sad

  • @jolow2 are u serious, lolololol. whites are ready to move on, lolololololo

  • @BlackJesus2153000

    How do you explain blacks being in all sorts of important positions including the presidency and STILL bellyaching? If whites gave blacks all their power and wealth they would STILL never be satisfied.

  • Someone please pull Roland's old tapes. He is true to self/waffles/not on point! Pull entire tape of Martin's show aired on WVON/Chicago 1690 AM on May 13, 2008 where MARTIN CALLED BLACK WOMEN "HO'S" (topic: "prom-wear"). We can agree clothing may NOT be tasteful in minds of all but it does not warrant name-calling! Martin has NEVER shown respect towards black women. This confirms it AGAIN! Mr. Martin, please pick the clue phone! I wish I could get a tape of Martin's 5-13-08 to Mrs. Sherrod!

  • Shirley is rude and childish.

  • now if we had the power to bring our neighbors home from war, they would never miss a Christmas, no more ribbons on the door, and when you trust your television what you get is what you got, cause when they on the information oh they can bend it all they want. "john mayer"

  • I have lost respect for Roland Martin. He should have apologized.

  • I'm still not a fan Shirley Sherrod. Why did she speak at the Racist NAACP? The NAACP IS a Anti white racial group just like the Black Caucus is. Until the Black Caucus and the NAACP aloud more white members with different political viewpoints into they're groups then they're are racist groups.

  • I grew up in Brooklyn during the 70's and I sure perceive white people differently than I have 24 years ago....It is called transforming in an open minded adult who has enough experience and exposure to a diverse people. Roland I am about to remove you from my friend list....I thought you were more open-minded

  • How can you guys say Roland is wrong? Shirley is calling in and yelling at him, saying she has the right to be racists! WHAT VIDEO ARE YOU LISTENING TO!? How many times does Roland interrupt Shirley? 0 times. How many times does Shirley interrupt Roland? over 8 times. What does the other anchorman says about the arguing? He says "Shirley Lets be respectful!"

    What video are you guys watching? Where you see Roland being a bigmouth, or ignorant?

  • only when a crazy .liberal (roland martin) attacks another racist do you insane liberals see how wrong they are. all of you that use to support roland martin. now you have a problem with him. lolololololol

  • You would think he never made a mistake!!!

  • Admit that you're wrong Roland and apologize. Don't justify attacking someone who is trying to uplift others by telling your story. Her motivation was to tear down walls of racism - how is that wrong?

  • Roland Martin was denied a job position. Her father was murder by a racist person, during a time when it was common for black men to be killed. It is not the same.

  • @allTRIPLE1

    NO excuse... If she took this job, she already committed to being FAIR to ALL farmers in need.

    So this "whitey killed her daddy" Bambi shit is not cutting it. She is TOO old for this and was TOO old for that BS when the issue occured with this poor white farmer.

  • @TheCockOFGod You don't know what you are talking about. She saved the guy's farm in question by offering him all the help she could. He and his wife stood by her side throughout this ordeal because they know she did nothing wrong. Only part of the tape was played. During the speech she did not work for the government and with that said during the speech she talked about overcoming racial prejudice. If you only listen to a few seconds of any speech, it is very easy to misconstrue something.

  • @allTRIPLE1 I still respect Roland as a journalist and commentator, but he should have apologized.

  • Roland is a big mouth. I'm black so relax folks, all I can do is call it how I see it.

  • S.T.F.U. Roland Martin....THAT IS ALL!

  • That's it! Roland sux

  • Shirley Sherrod = USDA "Official"? How about former official?

    She's an idiot looking for money. Enough said. And yes, I'm white. Feel free to post that I'm a racist because you disagree.

  • Roland is trying to disguise his own lack of following thru.... pure BS is everything he said.

  • Amen!!!

  • I had a lot of respect for Roland before this one. The problem was that he would not admit that he did the same as everyone else by not listening to the entire speech. He should have just apologized immediately!

  • This man is such an ass. Where did CNN get this moron of an analysts from and passing him off as an expert. Of all the reporters on CNN, this idiot is still trying to justify why he villified this woman as racist based on an edited out of context video. Roland Martin is on the wrong network. He should go work for fox.

  • I WAS FOLLOWING HIM ON TWITTER ALL THAT MORNING WHEN THE STORY WAS HOT HE WAS ON TWITTER PUTTING ALL KINDS OF BS UP NOW HE CAN'T EVEN SAY I WAS WRONG HE IS PIG HEADED AND ALWAYS THINKS HE'S RIGHT ABOUT EVERTHING I HAVE LOST TOTAL RESPECT FOR THIS A##HOLE

  • I lost count on how many times she interrupts Roland. I'm so sick of hearing about this. Racism is ugly, Reverse Racism is ugly, claiming someone is racist when they are not is a form or ignorance. Doing something Racist and then denying you are racist is ugly. Let us move on, stop seeing colors. I'm so sick of racism. ON ALL SIDES!

  • Normal people get along better than these media and political race pimps, at least where I live. Its not perfect but we don't linger on this stuff and stir it up like they do. A lot of the bitter racist on both sides isolate themselves because no one wants to hear their hate. KKK and the NBPP would be an exception. FBI infiltrates racist groups to entice racists to act out and that exacerbates the problem of race relations. We get along better here than the europeans do, they start world wars

  • what a loser. void of logic nor neck! apologise fat fuck..this from a dark skinned Indian

  • Roland had not seen the whole tape when interview took place..so I give him a pass. Without that knowledge that Roland had not seen the whole footage, it makes Mr. Martin look very very bad.

  • True... But as a reporter, he should have did better research. At a minimum, he should have called her and asked her the explain her comments. He does it all the time on the Tom Joyner Show, so why not now!

  • Unfortunately, no of the folks that were wrong in this situation wanted to apologize for what they contributed to this mess. Roland, at this point, in this taping had not watched the video. If he did, he would have understood where she was coming from. I hate the way this makes us look. I'm still trying to get over Alvin Green. Now this? Normally, I like Roland. But, this sounds partisan and further fueled the Right Wing. Beck, Hannity, Rush and the rest are absolutely loving this!

  • Shirley is right. 

  • This guy is slime, he was wrong and he absolutely refuses to a knowledge to her that he was wrong. What a slimy SOB

  • Oh get to it fat self all you had to do was apologize. Negroes are the first to bring our own people down. Middle finger to this dude.

  • Just say sorry man! You were wrong to speak without first hearing all of the speech.

  • thank GOD Roland is a good man, and doesn't live by double standards!

  • Roland is wrong this time. he should have humbled himself!

  • Roland is really making himself look like a fool. If he would just say I'm sorry, I could respect him. He is just looking like a fool.

  • what's the point of them going back in forth in anger?

  • Roland: Insert foot in mouth.

  • Roland Martin sounded and look like a meat head on this one. He should of apologize and shut up and listen period.

  • Roland Martin sounded and look like a meat head on this one. He should of apologize and shut up and listen period.

  • Roland Martin sounded and look like a meat head on this one. He should of apologize and shut up and listen period.

  • The USDA said Shirley was going to be on Glenn Beck, demanding her immediate resignation. Moments later, not knowing she resigned yet (it was not yet made public) Glenn Beck came on the air, and instead demanded a complete transcript while defending Shirley Sherrod (YES-GLENN BECK). Yet Shirley will not return Fox's calls while calling them 'racist'. Is there an orchestrated smear & coverup at the Whitehouse? Why are you not reporting this, CNN? Seek the truth here...who knew what & when?

  • @mrrepublican1234

    Do not play games.

    Beck defending Sherrod. Please!

    Beck was saving face for a network that had just been proven to be a bunch of complete fuckin' liars.

  • @jonny8440 - There was no face saving to o. Beck broke the story. Your entitled to your opinion but please get your facts straight. Facts don't lie. There is a confirmed time line for all the events. Obama's appointed USDA people fired Shirley before THEY got the facts straight. When you call people liars and then find yourself on the wrong side of the truth, the face you must save will be your own. This story is far from over. I kept an open mind about Shirley as did Beck. Man up & do the same.

  • @mrrepublican1234 Let's talk facts. "Before THEY got the facts straight." The WH got the facts from Fox mistake #1. Chain of events Brietbart post vid on biggov Fox Reports on it The following day FOX continues coverage. Later that day the story is debunked. When Beck cycles back around his position has completely flipped from the previous night. Why? Because he's covering up bullshit and saving face not defending Sherrod. Thats the true coe. Maybe you should check your facts.
  • @jonny8440 -are the cuss words to lather up your audience. She was fired before Fox broke the story. Breitbart has as much to do with Fox as Soros has to do with MSNBC. Maybe you should get your facts off the tivo instead of you attack chat rooms. You moveon.org hate-bloggers will have a rude awakening in November cuz the truth will prevail.

  • @mrrepublican1234

    Yes attack chat rooms and the hatebloggers of moveon, but nothing compares to your exalted truth telling fox news. "... tHe TrUtH wILl PrEvAiL."Do you not even feel a little ashamed to mention the word TRUTH after this fiasco.Brietbart lied.Fox lied. Hey,Beck was REALLY defending Sherrod, and the conservative party really cares about the white working class. ;) I never been to moveon, but there's no greater advertisement than a lying con's dissent.Fuck, that was just for you.

  • @mrrepublican1234 She should not be required to returns Foxs calls, after what they did to her. Forget Glenn Beck, she owes him or Fox nothing. repeat NOTHING!

  • @missVeemack - Absolutely she should not be required to do anything. Absolutely she owes Fox nothing. As an NAACP award recipient she now exemplifies what ideals to which we should all aspire. Reaching out sets that example. I know what I would do if I were in her shoes and I am not a NAACP award recipient. We shall see what truly resides in her heart in the days to come. I will continue to encourage her to do the right thing.

  • Brietbart, FOX hearsay, & NAA Colored People reputation has been irreversibly damaged. NAA Colored People will suffer the worst. And fairly so, b/c they had the whole speech and knew before hand the true content of it. Wolfing at the right-wing is played out.

  • @swatlanta7

    The only dent in the reputation of the White House and the NAACP is that they were stupid enough to believe the complete and utter lies of Breitbart and FOX.

  • Roland, I'mma do you like you did her. I'm not going to listen to oyur excuse. anything short of an apology is unacceptable. So I'll pre-judge the comment your making now as that BULLSHIT and CNN should reduce your role. You and the NAA COLORED PEOPLE should be in the Smithsonian.

  • Sherrods words were still racially insensitive. You all heard them and I don't need to repeat them. She goes on to charge Republicans with racism with the healthcare debate which is where The DNC really charged their racial guns. Why would Sherrod have to go there in a room full of black people. I think we're equally guilty of jumping the gun to demonize her context as we are to fully excuse her of her entire speech. I think everyone is missing the boat here.

  • @hatfisc There is no boat to miss here. It was her speech, that is her past and her life that she used as an example to not excuse racism. If the republican have racists fews then some of their reviews are racists. As far as the healthcare bill, it is very insensitive to not want all americans to be covered medically, even if taxes must increase. You want to talk about being insentive? smh

  • Somebody get Roland a shovel, he can't keep doing all that digging with his mouth.

  • Roland, your point was for another day. I get what your saying but since you didn't hear the whole speech initially why comment on a clip when you know how things are spun out of control?

    It makes no sense for you to comment without having all the facts to make an informed comment on the matter.

    That was to me a huge lapse in judgement. Even if you still didn't agree with what she said get all the info first.

  • He's a fool! Straight up! This so called apologist civil right's clown preacher is the problem why we can't get beyond this false construct called racism. This woman was honest in how she dealt with real feelings twenty four years ago but her humanity prevailed. Fuck the sorry ass Naacp they are the problem along with these sorry ass christian churches why black folks are in the sad predicament that they find themselves in today. Stop blaming white folks. They are who they are.

  • Shut up, Roland. You are not the person we need to be arguing this kind of stuff. You prove all the time that you don't know what the fuck you're talking baout.

  • Since most comments put a racist spin on this issue, then does make the late senator Robert Byrd any better because he was an "ex" klansman and was in office until his death. He wasn't fired because of his past, or does he get a "Mr. Charlie" pass ??

  • I wish this would just go away....just a massive lame distraction from real problems in America.

  • This is a great example of how to argue yourself into a corner when you already have shoved both of your feet into your own mouth. Dumb, deaf and blind Roland Martin is thy name!

  • All Roland Martin could have said was that he was sorry and wanted to seek her forgiveness. This would have been the end of story. Instead, his pride got the best of him by his incessant arguments with Shirley as to why he acted the way he did. Pathetic!

  • Roland Martin got -- as the young people say today -- "owned"...

  • Did you not listen to her say that it IS about white and black"?

    Did you not hear her say that she got him help by sending him to "his own kind"?

    She made those 2 statements in 2010.

    She was a racist 24 years ago, and she still is today.

    She's a racist - and if this were a white woman who did the same thing to a black man - no ne would be making excuses for her.

  • They are really debating over the end of her career...seriously?! Roland Martin, if you haven't apologized by now, then please--PLEASE--do so today. You insulted Ms. Sherrod and she deserves an apology.

  • Roland Martin is a jackass and he was not listening. He was quick to say " I understand but..." and went on to make the same judgement based on the out of context snippet. This tells you a lot about him. And personally I hate when ppl shake their heads before you even get the word into their ears saying " Yeah I understand " when in fact they don't be listening at all and are loading up to execute their premeditated response

  • its sad that some people believe in fox news...whitehouse ..usda..you guys drop the ball.

  • I will give everyone here a perspective of Roland's mindset, here goes, this fat hog head voted for GW Bush, he is a professed Republican and he is a buffoon. The very idea he refuses to apologize to this woman speaks not only to his arrogance, but also his willingness fetch and step for the very same people that committed this dispicable act against this woman. If the haters in America is not willing to cease the race baiting and hatred then America is doomed forever.

  • Why was it so obvious that he was the best candidate for that job, was arrogance a criteria? 

  • Comment removed

  • Roland sounds a bit confused and maybe too proud to admit he put his foot in his mouth. It's really easy though... it goes something like this. "I didn't hear the context of the statement and I spoke too soon. I apologize. I will give it a listen and make a follow up statement afterward." Simple...

  • Did Roland say "Based upon perception"?? What a dumb ass.
