Martin Demands White Panelist Not Invoke MLK; She Pushes Back HARD
Newsbusters ^ | January 15, 2019 | Tom Blumer

Posted on 01/15/2019 7:37:35 PM PST by GuavaCheesePuff

On Sunday's MSNBC Live with Alex Witt, after panelist Jennifer Grossman invoked Martin Luther King's historic "content of their character" statement, TV One journalist Roland Martin, in a demanding tone, requested a "favor": "Please don’t quote Dr. King."

Apparently in Martin's world, only a black person like him can quote King, while a white person like Grossman can't. To her credit, Grossman pushed back hard: "I will quote Dr. Martin Luther king every single day and you won’t stop me."

What’s really gonna hurt is this:

white guys invented basketball.

Not the mayan crap game. Basketball as we know and play it today. We dont kill and eat the losing team or have a vertical hoop to shoot a tiny ball through.

She should have pointed out that MLK was a Republican, to boot.

What would have really blown his gourd if the response would have been something like this: the only reason that you are a free man and have an education and have not been castrated and put up for sale in a Muslim slave market is because of Christian white people; they are the ones who started the movement to abolish slavery.

Some white leftists wrote some of Dr. King’s best known speeches or key parts of them. Soviet operative/Communist Party USA admitted member Stanley Levison was one of King’s top advisors, and wrote some of them.

I believe the guy who wrote King’s April 1967 anti-Vietnam speech was also white. Don’t recall his name right now but previously it was thought that Levison wrote it.

The issue at hand was the racial diversity of the White House interns, or the lack of in the eyes of the lib commentator. Martin insists that people in leadership rolls must be diverse and be representative of the national population when the "Diversity makes us stronger" argument is pure phish.

Diversity is divisive in most cases and that is supported by a great deal of evidence. Forced diversity simply gives you a pool of achievers mixed with a percentage of token lower achievers.

Martin is an example of the modern day DemonRat racists who have taken upon themselves to tell all Americans what they should and shouldn't be allowed to due based solely on the color of their skin.

He did NOT earn his doctorate. He plagiarized massive parts of his dissertation and would have been thrown out of school if he were anyone else. Call him “reverend” all you want, but do NOT call him “Doctor”.

We shouldn’t quote a filthy, philandering, plagiarist.

Doesn’t work that way.
According to the Snowflakes, the West doesn’t have a culture to be ‘appropriated.’

He wasn’t the famed Dr. Martin Luther King when he was in school, you know. He was just another student.

“No one owns any words of the english language. No one can tell other people certain words are off limits to them.”

I agree with you that is the way it should be. And until recently it was that way.

However, you need to realize that things have changed. Today the thought police are real and powerful. Think twice before you violate one of their rules.

I know one word in particular that a certain powerful group can spew about but no one not born into the group can utter.

The divisional playoffs were on Sunday. Who the hell is sober and watching MSNBC on Sunday?

Anyone who doesn't care about a bunch of overpaid crybabies playing a children's game.

So I take it you’re a big MSNBC fan? - and likely never played combat sports? Maybe you just sit around knitting pussy hats and watching Deep State news shows?

Exactly the kind of response I expected from someone who thinks football has any actual relevance to anything happening in the world. Congratulations.

That’s a canard

King was a socialist

Beside look around

Are you really impressed with the GOP as a stand alone product

I love when conservatives suck on MLK toes

Lookie

I’m not a racist

King was anathema to conservatism

Shows how weak we are
