For the record, I am black. I have lost all respect for Roland Martin since this event. He never admitted that he was wrong. He still tried to justified his rush to wrong judgement. He has no more credibility with me.
Great to see Roland offer zero insight and completely miss the point of the story. He wants progressives to live in fear of people who will distort and lie. Not exactly standing up to evil is it? Wow, he sounds smart doesn't he.
@zivaray its a good way to buy time if you dont know the answer to something. You distract the argument, and you change it so that you have the upper foot in confusion.
I wish I could pull entire tape of Roland Martin's show that aired on WVON/Chicago 1690 AM on May 13, 2008 where he called black women "ho's". He would understand when his words bite him on the butt. The topic was about "prom-wear". It's negligible whether clothing is distasteful or not but will never warrant calling women "ho's"! He's NEVER respected black women & this Interview confirms it! Sherrod needs to hear Mr. Martin's 5-13-08 taping; she is on point in her perception of Mr. Martin!
Firstly, It's not about right wing and left wing - Secondly, Roland needs to admit he was WRONG. Don't try to clean up your attack on a sound bite taken out of context. You're wrong.
I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR ROLAND MARTIN NO MORE YOU ARE A COMPLETE JOKE AND YOU HAVE LITTLE MAN COMPLEX YOU WERE WRONG AND YOU CAN'T SAY YOU ARE SORRY! YOU REMIND ME OF THAT PERSON IN ARGUMENT THAT KNOWS THEY ARE WRONG BUT STILL KEEPS TALKING YOU ARE A DUMBASS !!!!!!!!
Why didn't the White House and NAACP reserve judgment before making such a drastic decision regarding someone's reputation and job? They could have said something to the effect of ,"We're going to reserve judgment until we investigate further"...
They, along with Fox News and those that put this misleading video out, have in essence damaged Sherrod's reputation and caused her to lose her job.
Sherrod definitely have grounds for a lawsuit against those involved in this witch-hunt.
Rowland, I love you man but Shirley surely defended herself like a true women of the south. She reminds me of my grandmother. Go Albany State University!!!
Roland just admit you were wrong and jumped to conclusions. I think you were being pig headed on Rick sanchez's show. If you see the whole tape you can clearly tell that this was a story within a story about reconcilliation.
Even Boyce watkins apologized. I used to like you but if you don't apologize we will boycott and have you off the air. Best of luck.
I was watching it elsewhere, she starts to mention that she realized that it had nothing to do with white or black it had to do with the haves and the have nots.then it gets cut off.
You can tell that she is going to turn her story around, when someone manipulated it and it's assumed that it just happened.
Roland Martin has formed an opinion without watching the whole video or taking into context that it was 24yrs. ago. when her eyes were open.
@PakaloloSwami ya she is so racist that all those white farmers want to do now is hug her and tell her thank you for saving their farm. the nerve of her!
another edited video by the far right just like the accorn scandal, they just had the white farmer & his wife on the news & they said these alligations are rediculious, she saved there farm................
I know this your channel Roland, but I have a few things to address:
1) Excellent interview, but I strongly felt that Miss Sherrod should not have been fired. She basically told a story of how people can change by life's experiences. If she still harbored that same attitude to this day, then I'd can come to terms with it.
2) Kyra Phillips is a VERY beautiful and intelligent woman with a genuine heart. Plus I have to say, I got a crush on her and I'm sure most brothers feel the same way.

Mr. Martin gets a pass on his comments here. This interview took place before the full video came out and before anyone knew the video was edited.
