Roland Martin you are very knowledgeable and know much about the African American experience. I enjoy your history points. I however feel you masked this knowledge with your poor debating skills. Allow the other player to express their ideals. Stop shouting the opposition down. We the audience will make our own opinions. Give us some credit. Psychologically you may need some direction to assist you with self restraint and self control.
When the dude is making false statements and after roland give him facts on the topic. Facts that cant be debated... like when roland brought up that black people only been free for about 48yrs a number that is not a secret to people that no/understand America history with black people. U DONT LET SOMEONE TO CONTINUE TALKING pushing WS talking points. He claims he dont see Reverend Al Sharpton doing nothing in Chicago. WS talking points... THIS IS A TOPICAL saying of white people about black activists. Roland must shut that type of BS talk down and how many time he claim not to have any or good knowledge on how many TOPICS
IKE BOY my question is how long will this black oppression narrative continue? 10 years, 50 years, 100 years? Eventually blacks need to realize that the only person in the last 48 years (Martin’s and your words) holding them back is staring them in the mirror.
Sarah R Im with you , black leaders are more intimidated by white liberals then republicans are to blacks. Black leaders continue to be parrots and puppets to white liberals.
This is the reason why Republicans don’t sit down with black Democrats. This ‘debate’ would have been better had Roland allowed Dinesh to talk. How can you expect people to talk to you when you gish gallop for 5 minutes and give your opponent 5 seconds to respond?
@shaqjazz1 you might feel this way but this whole video was 1hr long and at the end dinesh shook his hand. so the way i see it he most likely didnt feel like he got cheated. he could have walked after the first 10 min if it was that bad
Roland lies so bad when he said Trump or Candace Owens doesn’t talk to black people. I have seen videos of Candace in ALL black crowds and. And trump has been to black churches and has traveled doing rallies ALL OVER CITIES that have huge black populations. BUT IF THEY ALL DON’T SHOW UP WHAT IS TRUMP SUPPOSED TO DO. How many Democratic run events has TRUMP NOT EVEN BEEN INVITED but JayZ and Beyoncé are. there are lots of black people at trump rallies too. I see plenty of them. Let’s also not forget that the black population is drastically smaller then the white population so a more white turnout is likely. The main difference is that at a Trump rally black people are just as much welcomed as any other population. I KNOW SO MANY BLACK PEOLLE THAT HATE TRUMP BUT ALL THEY WATCH IS CNN MSNBC AND THE REST OF THE MAINSTREAM HEADLINES AND DO NOT DARE WATCH PEOPLE LIKE DINESH, Limbaugh, Owens, Anthony Brian Logan, Brandon Tatum, and so many others. The other reason that blacks don’t go to Trump rallies is 100% because they know they will THREATENED, with verbal, emotional and Physical ATTACKS!!!
There was not ONE point that Dinesh was actually able to fully articulate and flesh out!! Roland, as usual, was loud, over talking, and rude. Maybe that's why others won't come on his show? If you honestly wanted to hear a fair debate this wasn't it.
Like any topic or subject, you can study history, makeup and tendencies, in order to assist and help and to be considered knowledgeable. If your statement was true that means you can never or should never go to a doctor that is the opposite sex of you, because they technically will never have the “experience” in order to know how to treat you. 🤔
@@vincenth.8793 Mmmmm medical knowledge is totally different than one's actually living experience. It's like me telling someone from another country, how things based on what I read. 😐. IT doesn't work that Way.
@@victorwilliams1304The point is you can familiarize yourself in any subject/topic by doing your due diligence in studying and researching and become knowledgeable and possibly be considered an expert. By saying only whites know whites, blacks know blacks and so on is intellectually incorrect. The word “tendencies” implies the actions and reactions throughout history and under certain situations for any general subject group (people, animals, ideologies, etc) when you are researching. It’s an aspect of the research you have when you familiarize with any group. Experience alone does not make you well rounded in a subject. Most of that is anecdotal anyway.
@@vincenth.8793 And being familar doesn't mean you have "first hand" experience. Especially when you are talking to a member of that Group. That's where the term "privilege" comes in. But that's for another post.
Roland doesn’t allow you to defend your point. He has to dominate the conversation. What does your guest believe? You didn’t answer (or let him ask questions)
I see! But we the listener could benefit from a full and clear dialog. I agree with Roland but I still as the viewer want to hear the whole perspective before I form an opinion and Roland is not allowing that option in this conversation with a guest he invited to the show. Don't get me wrong, I adore and appreciate Roland Martin and I watch him daily for my source of news from the black perspective. Thanks Vincent.
@@eddieaow42 I didn't notice that the guest was off track; only that he didn't get to finish his thoughts. Perhaps had he been given that opportunity then Roland would have had room for follow up questions related to his quests views.
I think I listened just fine @Vincent Sample . I understand Roland's style of interviewing and I know all about the typical right wing tactics just fine too. Be blessed.
OH my god.. Do you honestly think you let him get any complete statement out? You have an excuse for every last issue. “Obama didn’t do this because of Republicans.”, “Chicago ain’t better because of whites”. I bet you thought you killed this interview huh? 😆
No he does let people speak, what he doesnt do is allow someone to 1)Lie and 2) misrepresent the facts. I have watched many of brotha Roland's shows and trust me when I say. As long as you dont do one of those two things he will let you talk tell the cows come home. But once you crossed that line, he's on you like white on rice.
Ralph Jackson you are talking rubbish. Roland doesn't know everything, no one does and he needs to listen so he can hear a different perspective. He is very annoying and arrogant.
@@ralphjackson8295 I don't know about you, maybe you are only interested in hearing one of side of an argument but I like to hear both sides and he didn't let D'Souza speak. He drowns people out and is a bad host. Sean Hannity does the same thing on the right and I hate it.
@@vaskylark again I will say. I have been watching Roland for years and he only interrupts people when. 1) They lie or 2) because they are misrepresenting facts. I have watched him interview hundreds if not thousands of people. I have seen with my own eyes him allow a very conservative talk on end and the only time he stop him was when he lied about something.
It's amazing how, Mr.: martin is a manipulator, especially the way he won't let the man make his point, especially when he started talking about the president that was there from 2008/16. That's what he does best, talk over people with his opinions, I think narcissism has gotten to him heavily. I guess he thinks he knows it all.
i now see why he was let go from so many other platforms, he keeps over talking his guess and screaming, hes too emotional then he keeps changing the subject. hes too emotional
@@DIDDYTBABY Yeah. Its his show until guest stop coming because he won't let them get a word in. If you invite someone into your home you treat them with respect not ridicule. Its called hospitality.
@@radicalrattler guest will continue to come on his show, Dinesh keeps bringing up Democrats of the past but fail to acknowledgment that Republicans when in power did nothing for blacks as well.
I like a good debate, but not a shout down. They both make good points for consideration, however only one person shouted down the other not allowing for a point to be made. Do a word count. Roland talked more than five times than Dinesh. He likes to listen to his loud words without Dinesh getting his point of view across. As I watched, Dinesh is soft speaking and would listen. Roland does not, he is looking to make his next point without even considering Dinesh point. I watched to learn and understand, but Roland was in mode of only his points without giving Dinesh a chance. Why would he invite Dinesh, if only Roland wants to talk? Terrible interview.
It GALLS me when other members of a different minority group ATTEMPT to debate someone else's experiences, when THEY'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO RELATE. I had a similar experience a few years ago. The man that I was speaking with, operated under the DELUSION that since we're both minorities, we share a commonality, when WE DON'T. All we have to is look at how we arrived in this country in the first place. From there, any similarities start tapering off. BOTTOM LINE, IF YOUR PEOPLE MADE THE CONSCIOUS CHOICE TO COME TO AMERICA, THEN YOUR EXPERIENCE MAY BE VASTLY DIFFERENT FROM THOSE FOLKS , WHOSE ANCESTORS WORE FORCIBLY BROUGHT HERE.
Ah the whole, "You have never been X so you can never argue from X point of view." That is such a cop-out, right up along there with terms like "MY truth." Same people who reject objective realities like two sexes and genders.
could not disagree with you more! If your ancestors were forced to come here that should have zero impact on your life so long as you are not forced to stay. If you were not allowed to leave I would agree with you. But the fact is you were going to be born somewhere. How your family got here 150-200 or more years ago has zero impact on your life outside of the impact you put on it.
Man, I have talked to guys, who have some knowledge under their belts, over the years and they are the same: listen to me and I’m going to outtalk or talk over you. I had decided that those guys aren’t interested in opposing ideas and solutions but a verbal exercise. It’s sad.
He doesnt have to but the truth is the truth. Roland's personality can annoy me sometimes but that is an intelligent man and an intelligent black man that ain't here for the bullshit. None of us blacks should be with the shit for Democrats or Republicans.
@@nmr3647 I can't help but think roland has an agenda. He never talks about the advancement of colored people. He's hell-bent on perpetuating this victimhood narrative. Whenever dinesh was making a point he kept interrupting and changing the subject. Roland is very intelligent I'm just not sure what he is advocating for.
@@sunflo2001 i respectfully disagree. He is simply stating the facts of the state of things. Roland is a significant piece to our awakening in my eyes. You have to know how the past has affected the black community. He is not making excuses for blacks as individuals. He is talking about our community as a whole. Rich or poor. Educated and uneducated. His agenda is to enrich the black community through the understanding of history so we can properly attack our future. Now candace owen has an agenda IMO.
I hoped this would be an actual debate where both sides would make points and have a chance to support those points. Mr. Martin, I applaud you for having Mr. D'Souza on your show. But let the man respond. You cut him off over and over before he had a chance to respond fully. It's a disservice to your viewers.
Yes, why didn't you give Dinesh equal time. When you vocally walk all over another's words, it's like you are not confident in your ability to triumph with your own words! If you're self-assured enough, you should be alright with him finishing his sentences. And it's presumptive to think you know where he's going, especially given his level of articulation and his patience with what some would (maybe) consider your rudeness, sir.
@@ivespoken8902 Not today's Republican Party. Today's Republican Party vilifies COLIN Kaepernick, The NBA, The NFL and everyone and everything representing Black rights. Or don't you think that we noticed that, huh??!!
@@QueenAnitaSoul if the country is so racist why do so many want to come to the U.S., do you really think immigrants are going immigrate to a country where people of colour are oppressed?
@@QueenAnitaSoul Its time to drop the inferiority complex. True racism is running so thin that Democrats have to manufacture it every 4 years, around elections to keep you right where they need you! Angry & bitter. To call America a "racist country" based off the 5% or less who are is preposterous.
He does allow him time to speak. Like the video is showing Roland is more passionate about the situation because he has walked the walk daily. Systematic racist devices are still in play today,unfortunately.
democrats are stopping black people progress. obama caused the racial divide.. that not the gist of it but that the outrageous things he tried to say. to me it felt like a lot of republican talking points
Roland Martin practically filibustered the entire show, hardly giving his guest a chance to speak. Every time his guest tried to answer, Roland would cut him off and go on into another topic - then talk some more...no wonder why people with opposing views won't go on his show.
@@monas LOL...I don't worship Roland...I respect the fact that he comes prepared and will stop a guest from lying on his show....Is Dinesh someone you worship...or trump..or some other racist idiot like you...??
Uncle Ro-ro. When De'sousa started talking about going back to India and things changing there (trying to say they pulled themselves up by the bootstraps) I'm guessing you don't know that he comes from the Brahmin caste. In India they have a fixed caste system and his family are from a high caste giving them the equivalence of white privilege. There is a Dalit caste there which are the darker original people. They are excluded from everything (only used to clean cesspits) In fact traditionally if a Dalit's Shadow touched a Brahmin's it was considered pollution of the Brahmin's shadow. They weren't even allowed to use (pollute) certain Brahmin words. Dalit's are classed as N****s and are untouchable (which is an actual name for them) De'sousa was born into and is well used to such systems.
Hey dummy! Dinesh does NOT come from a "Brahmin caste". His last name D'souza suggests that he is a Christian (catholic). So you comments clearly shows you are ignorant and trying to pass dome fake argument!!!!
Royal Flush I think Roland is very valuable, but his conduct here was not acceptable. His demeanor with Richard Spencer was appropriate, but in this case it was wrongheaded. I think he lost his composure, and was a bit panicked.
Roland really has to let dude finish w/o interrupting with a string of other topics. Terrible interview by Roland. Same tactics someone in Junior or High school would to. 1. Ask a question 2. Not hearing the answer you are hoping to hear 3. interrupt with a series of other questions and other topics.
Holy smokes, can he let the man get a word in. Roland Martin does this all the time, notice how he keeps changing the subject instead of letting him answer.
Roland doesn't want to hear Dinesh's answers. He interrupts him the second Dinesh is about to tear his argument apart. Roland doesn't want to hear the truth I guess
@@chrisbennett606 how? Roland kept interrupting Dinesh and never gave him a chance to speak. Give others to speak and make their point, before jumping into conclusions. Rudely interrupting and talking over people is just showing how ignorant you really are.
@Percy Carry How is Roland a coward??? You see Denish sitting there in discussion with him. A liberal coward would not sit down with Denish D'Souza. Denish is my favorite conservative
I wouldn’t say he’s a coward but yea wish he would shut up long enough to let the man finish a sentence. But it’s not an accident or just plain arrogance it’s a tactic to stop discussion, change topics to not let ur opponents finish their point
@@theapostaterunawayslave @Percy Cary You see a lot of people think it's about political party affiliation. It's not! it's Race!! In my undergraduate studies I thought it was all about poltical party. I hate the Democratic party history. It's the party of slavery and Jim Crow. The Democratic party have a horrific history. If it was not for the Republican party blacks would have remained in slavery perhaps up to the 1930s. But there is one Huge thing the Republican party did that was a Betrayal to black people! " The Compromise of 1877" Republicans never talk about this! It actually set Jim Crow in motion as a racial separation institution in the South for almost 90 years. Why did the Republican party compromise with the Democrats and removed those federal troops and end Reconstruction!! So it's not about party!! It's Race!!. Jim Crow segregation lasted 90 years and the Republicans did not interfere with the South! Who won the Civil War?? The Republicans right! So why did the Republican party give the South back to the Democrats so soon!! I like Denish too but the same white man that colonized India is the same one who enslaved & placed Jim Crow laws upon black people.
@@fromouttaleftfield6932 I agree but also Roland has heard all the dumb arguments and he’s tired and doesn’t have the time for it, I can appreciate that.
@@edvh88 that's right. When he only has so much time and he's listening to stuff he's already heard a million times before (he already knows what they're gonna say before they say it), he feels the urge to rush them. But he has to keep in mind that there may be people watching his show who don't yet understand what's going on, so he needs to let his "guests" get their BS out before he cuts them off LoL
Dinesh returned to it three more times , but roland kept cutting hin off. You might want to watch it again. He spoke just after the initial topic about LBJ twice, then went back to it a few minutes later.
this guy keeps telling that Republicans will never come on the show...guess u know why...almost 45-50 minutes of this show was done by roland talking over dinesh...this ain't a debate...this a one sided radio commentary...cut the crap...
jusclay To manipulate 1000s of retarded RU-vid followers that think Roland won a "debate". Mission accomplished. These days, a victory is a victory wether you earn it or not . . . With this many simple minded followers, he's kept his cattle in the fences, he's satisfied with the results.
Roland educates Dinesh all during this interview. You are not saying why Dinesh is asking Roland why is this happening and Roland tells Dinesh Why and tells him on good speaking terms.
personally, i wouldn't give Dinesh D'Souza the time of day. Anyone who claims that segregation was created to protect black people is like a Holocaust denier in my book. And yes he said this in his book The End of Racism.
Without even watching the video let me guess Roland didn't let the guest make his points Constantly interrupting him an nothing is accomplish? Just asking? I can't watch an hour of Roland I just can't lol
@Aiyisha Anderson I know you want me to!!! So you can yell in an echo chamber Where everyone thinks the same lol I'm not saying agree wit me but Step out the bubble Atleast sometimes!!!!
Roland has some good points but he's so quick to speak that he never lets Dinesh finish his point. Roland, calm down and let Dinesh finish his point before you jump into a different point or question. Roland has not mostly said anything that Dinesh doesn't already know. After Roland get his point across, all you hear Dinesh say is, "right," because Roland isn't schooling him. Dinesh already knows.
There's a significant difference between Dinesh acknowledging something as "right"...and Dinesh ALREADY KNOWING what Roland is saying. There are some points that Dinesh did know, and other points Roland made which Dinesh didn't have. Dinesh himself acknowledged that he DIDN'T KNOW OR HAVE INFORMATION ABOUT an entire reality which Roland and African Americans like me know statistically and have lived intimately. @ 28:08 Dinesh himself acknowledged this fact. And Roland isn't being overhyped and over-talking Dinesh. Roland...famous for not allowing factual inaccuracies to pass unexposed and thoroughly factually corrected on his show...is simply halting Dinesh at the point of factual error. Exposing and obliterating that error. In the process of the cut and thrust of this discussion and debate, such on the spot exposure and correction is essential when juxtaposing the positions of each man and what knowledge, facts and life experiences framed their experiences. Dinesh is a very intelligent scholar who's also puzzled as to why Republicans don't engage our people, and is so removed from street level reality that he cited a cattle call for and a speech given to a sparse crowd of young, deluded Black people as Trump not being afraid to talk and deal with us, because Trump interacts only with certain Black people specially vetted to minimize any likelihood of blowing his propaganda campaign by asking him hard questions, and demanding direct responses in return. That alone means that Dinesh's entire perspective on this matter is the perspective of the scholar hypothesizing from his Ivory Tower, not the information drawn from the real world when one's untested hypothesis gets tested, and must change due to realities of the real world outside of The Ivory Tower.
@@ATACXGYMCAPOEIRA My point is Dineah already knew most of what Roland was saying, that's why he used the word "right" just to confirm that what Roland was saying is correct. You can't acknowledge that a fact is right if you don't already know that it's right. No one says "right" if they don't know for sure that it's right. You can't say "right" if you don't know for sure that it's right, otherwise you'll be saying "right" to something that you're not sure is correct.
@@CheersToYou007 my point, friend Cheers, is that even Dinesh's acknowledgements were devoid of the complementary contextual information. The Ivory Tower "right", not the recognition and understanding that comes from testing facts in the field. That's why Roland had to both correct and expand upon Dinesh's inaccurate comments. And that is why some...not all, but some...of the "rights" that Dinesh acknowledged didn't lead him to understanding that he was factually wrong prior to presenting inaccurate information requiring corrections by Roland, while on Roland's show.
@@idlereport Dinesh didn't lose. The only people who thought he lost are people like you who rate the intelligence of someone by how loud you speak and how loud you raise your voice. Try listening to the substance if you care to educate yourself.
To be fair, I hear black activists all the time telling white folks that they have "systemic white privilege." I've heard more than one claim that whites keep up "racist institutions" because they're "afraid of losing power" that WE only vote for Trump because we're racist. Idiots like Ibrahim Kendi and other CRT race hustlers saying that we're infected with "white fragility" and "white guilt" making all sorts of assumptions about why whites and conservatives vote the way THEY do. So let's not go there there's PLENTY of that to go around.
Yep. It's a common debate tactic. Bloviate on a non-sequitur, stopping your opponent from debating, then change the subject to a new topic. Glad you picked up on it.
All the dinesh trolls here complaining that Roland kept interrupting, is because when dinesh comes up with some crap lie he had to stop him and dinesh got owned.
@@PaulMcGillTV how do you deal with someone that just wants to ask questions like why are white people racist or why do i have to show receipts when i get a mortgage ? no one really wants an honest conversation, roland just wants someone to scream at about racism
@@macky765 ....that maybe your perception, but I have listened to Dinesh before and his assumptions and conclusions are misleading. Thus I don't blame Roland for "screaming" at him as you put it. I mean honestly, there are plenty of testimonies and evidence where it seems blacks, regardless how successful they are, do get unfavorable treatment in our society.
@@PaulMcGillTV no one is disputing unfavorable treatment but that's not what the debate was about , we either stay focused on the subject at hand or we lecture about race and personal experiences. this is why we can never have a honest conversation because it will always gear off to people personal experience and it will always contain a white person as the aggressor as if there are no one other groups on the planet
WE CANNOT ALL PUT OUR VOTES TO DEMOCRATS. BLACKS ARE BETTER OF WHEN VOTING AS INDEPENDENT, SWING VOTES. OUR VOTING CHOICE SHOULD BE BASED ON INDIVIDUAL CANDIDATE NOT PARTY LOYALTY.
@Mary S. I totally disagree with you. There are lots more to gain as a Republican than a Democrat, like religion freedom, pro-choice, right to be armed, jobs, including international policies and many more.
Great discussion Roland, however you didn’t appear to grasp his point about India which was also under slavery rule. The Indians have made great strides over last 30 yrs & as a black man I think we could have benefited from hearing why (as they have highest concentration of mathematicians in the world) if you listened to the question. I love your work but sometimes you should give your guests more time to speak and be prepared to learn something once in a while instead of preparing next rebuttal. B minus for this interview.
daarrkmatter - The Irish were the first slaves, Indians were 2nd & the Africans came after that. This is the reason why we were called ‘2 for 1’ during this era because it was commented that we could do twice the work as an indian slave. Learn your history and dont hide behind labels of ‘colonialism’ to rationalise these atrocities as I am sure the victims of these crimes didnt make the distinction...peace
daarrkmatter - I was speaking about the British colonial system which impacted world history. Don’t disagree with anything you set out, my main point from last year was we have to look at other models around the world to help benefit black people in America. To do that you have to listen not just talk. And to say that other peoples experiences are different because of the label of ‘colonialism’ is misinformed in my view, however if you would say that the impact of slavery is higher in America because of the sheer scale of the displacement that occurred I would agree.
daarrkmatter - I would add: a) Eradicate smug, self serving narratives b) Promote empathy rather than shallow condemnations C) Provide more access to wealth in the form of grants & loans to all rather than select groups who have traditionally benefited from this practice. d) Stop displacing low income families to gentrified communities e) Diverting funding to local infrastructure, business’s and schools. f) Overcome WHITE PRIVILEGE g) Savour the pride, adulation & fear we receive from other cultures for our undeniable GOD GIVEN GIFTS h) Teach humility as its clearly lacking within rightwing bigots. I) Push back more on the large influx of other cultures in the community until further investment in the community is secured. h) Ignore the IDIOT & CHIEF and his SELFISH, DEVIL WORSHIPPING, SELF SERVING, LOW IQ supporters I) SPREADLOVE
Listening to this for a 2nd time, a year later, I'm astounded that Dinesh even made an appearance. He has no data. He continually keeps saying what he feels. The irony is that feelings guide voters. That's the appeal that keeps identity politics as the winning method for those that disagree on policy and suffer at the hands of the wealthy, irrespective of party.
Lol roland spews garbage from far right sources only and then yells and throws a tantrum everytime the other guy makes a good point. Everything he says is false and super easy to look up.. takes seconds
Dinesh he’s trying to drop some truth and knowledge on this guy, and he won’t let him speak! He doesn’t want to hear the truth, he just wants to play the victim.
I think smart people can listen to this and agree with them both with it comes to certain points. Ignorant people come to this already wearing their jersey for either side and will dismiss the other.
@We need angels . Victim card, race card, black card woke card. Where dose all these cards come from? From a deck that a very selective group of people maintain and control. What makes these cards a necessity? Anger, fear, hate and a host of other feelings that none blacks have for none whites. This is your go to card when you want to defend your nasty ways. Deflect and disagree, no one can do it better. Project onto others? No contest. 😒
You're going to relegate my history to a month. Black history is American history. I am going to stop calling you a white man and I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man. Morgan Freeman:
Roland let me see you get a drivers license with out the proper ID, you will have to present the raise seal birth certificut, not the wallet size . You are always splitting hairs with your no sensical arguments.
I think his point was, it’s harder to get the copy with the raised seal, as it has to come from the health department, by mail. If the birth certificate from the other authority, are deemed as legitimate, legal, document of your birth, then it should be acceptable. It allows people to get the document you need, on the spot, so you can vote. The raises seal has to be mailed and can take weeks to get to you.
Tshelani,.. you are so right , I just watched his video , Dinesh is a far righty telling white college kids not to think that they have white privileged, when we know they do
Having guest on is completely pointless when you shout them down and don’t let them talk. Roland turn your emotions down to 1 and your openness & listening skills up to 10.
Roland invites guest on for an interview and talks 90% of the time 🙄 This is why it is so difficult to discuss issues with the black community that are entrenched in a victimized (aka...unforgiving) mentality. Summary of this debate: Dinesh vs. Roland Collected vs. Emotional Alpha Male vs. Beta Male Overcomer vs. Victim Peaceful vs. Angry Forgiving vs. Unforgiving Truthful vs. Deceitful Enlightened vs. Deceived Patient vs. Impatient Kind vs. Rude This could go on, but you get the point...
I love Roland's argument of the insanity of poor white folks constantly voting republican, but nothing changes for them. However, republicans always want to talk about poor inner cities!
Anthony Mcfarlane But they don't cry about it . . . Lol. They try to better themselves by themselves. They also don't live in . . . All of the most impoverished cities in the country.
Mr Martin you're not listening. You have very very good points but you will not convince your audience or interlocutor by shouting in their face and interrupting. It might look domineering but it's not constructive. That's not how you conduct an interview.
You better stop the blame game because the more brown the county gets, its going to be harder for blacks to complain and find fault. Take control of your life. Stop being a victim.
I was totally disturbed by Roland Martin's attitude. First of all, how about letting your guest have a chance to contribute to the conversation. He continually interrupted Mr. Dinesh D' Souza. Couldn't admit that there is a different look on life. A look at how life is and can be. Please Mr. Martin, get off you high horse and act as an adult. Stop making the point that nothing can change. And speaking of President Obama, his own choice of not bringing us all together and make a difference was so disappointing. And remember they are plenty of US citizens more than interested in making a better life for all our citizens.
Roland would be much more interesting if he brought guests on and let them interact a bit more. You can't ask why people don't want to talk to you when they can't get a word in edgewise.
M. Martin unbearable, keeps talking, states his own experience as if that was the whole history and relevant to the all country, against one of the most knowledgeable scholar on the right.. What a joke! Shout out to Dinesh for his patience dealing with this sham
Roland looks for racism and interprets every slight as such. He should be looking for equality, regardless of colour. Affermative action is racist! He doesn't say anything about that because the victims are White. Roland's examples are petty minded! I would suggest that if he and others like him don't like the way they are treated they should return to their homeland. That's not racist because anyone of any colour can join him and his ilk! No one should be treated differently in law, education and work, expectations, morals or values and self discipline! Regardless of colour. The problem is that one race in particular is being excluded from their own country, history, equality. Minorities can't cope ore compete with equality. World leaders have reduced the education standards and expectations so they achieve equality of outcome. EVERYONE should be outraged by that. EVERYONE is being robbed!!
Roland refused to allow Dinesh to establish his points, basically because Dinesh caned him in the very early forays of this debate, re 4 types of Republican. Roland relies upon, depends upon his 'White supremacy' boogyman in order to get paid. Roland cannot see nuance, it will always come down to race. Constant interjecting, shifting the debate to individual acts of prejudice, personal anecdotes etc, ergo the larger debate and Dinesh have to wait for Roland to blather on, in order to bring the debate right back to where Roland found it difficult. Roland completes his filibuster and now it's a different point he wants to argue. Pathetic!
Revisionist history. Roland loves to put his own spin on things to fit his narrative. He tried to say blacks couldn't vote before the 1960s, but blacks had been voting for almost a hundred years by that time. There were even 100s of black congressmen in state legislatures across the country after slavery. Do yourself a favor and go read a book instead of listening to Roland Martin.
Roland know his shit! He READS! He brought the funk! Those who won't come on his show know they'll get embarrassed! Have FACTS ready when you come, that's IF you ain't afraid! Way to school a guy who'd never understand our "history!"
Jesus christ!! If you're looking for a reason Republicans don't want to come on your show, ill give you the easiest most obvious one. You cannot, not even ONCE, allow the guest to drive home an argument, opinion or point without butting in and disrupting their train of thought. That was one of the most insufferable "debates" I've ever wasted time to listen to.
Let me help out Roland we absolutely should have voter suppression. If you can’t walk in a precinct Election day present a valid ID demonstrate you pay taxes in pass a basic civics exam you shouldn’t be permitted to vote

He just screams and interrupts people. Im literally shouting shut up roland! Shut the f*ck up. Lol. He doesnt want anyone to see this other guys point of view.
