Full title: Things get hot when a white panelist is told not to quote Martin Luther King: I will ‘every single day. And you won’t stop me’

TV One host Roland Martin was quickly put in his place by fellow panelist Jennifer Grossman on Easter Sunday during a discussion about diversity among White House interns under President Donald Trump.

MSNBC’s “Live with Alex Witt” did a segment on the police shooting last week of an unarmed black man in California when the host decided to pivot to President Trump, noting a lack of diversity amid White House interns. Witt compared photos of Obama administration interns with the current administration and asked Grossman to comment.

“My thoughts are largely that the most important thing is the content of our character and what’s in our heads and our ideas and our thought, not the color of our skin,” Grossman, a former speechwriter for George W. Bush answered. “So whether or not you have racial diversity in that intern class. I would argue probably you have a lot more diversity in terms of political viewpoints because President Trump’s election has really stirred things up.”

“Please don’t quote [Dr. Martin Luther King],” Martin interjected, displaying a familiar stance where some black Americans claim exclusive ownership of King’s legacy.

“I will quote him!” an irritated Grossman fired back. “Do you want to have more of a debate on race?”

The libertarian then made it clear that she will not be bullied into silence over race.

“You’re kind of politically-correct bullying of people on racism is not going to work,” she continued, wagging her finger in the air. “So, I will quote Dr. Martin Luther King every single day. And you won’t stop me.”

Please don’t speak English. You can talk in Swahili. English is for the people who built Western Civilization.

I can see why a liberal would not want to hear the words of MLK. They contradict the racist values liberals hold.

King’s Dream is dead.

Color of skin trumps content of character every time.

I’m sure Trump wants a pack of simple-minded people picked to support open racism. Diversity is the new way to cheat.

Laura Ingraham should study this film carefully and learn how left wing lunatics need to be handled.

“...King’s Dream is dead....”

Yep. EVERY single thing that liberalism touches, it destroys...EVERYTHING, including King’s Dream. Hopefully, liberalism will eventually destroy itself before it totally destroys the world.

Here we go again: more of the ‘if you not black,’ you cannot talk about black stuff. Reminds me of those who chime about the ‘N’-word: if you are white and use the ‘N’ - word, you are damned to hell, but hey, if you are black and use the ‘N’ - word to identify another black person, its all good.......

Martin went on to explain that the U.S. will be a minority-majority party in the next 30 years

So if "minorities" become the majority they will demand they get to keep their "minority" privileges and handouts through "affirmative action" by inventing a new class, "minority-majority," and justify that by the color of their skin.

And that dumbazz wants to claim the "legacy of Dr. King" and demand white people dare not quote his words?

That is beyond delusional, it is intentional evil.

I resent cultural appropriation by black and brown cultures when I see them carrying cellphones, using computers and flying on airplanes. Those are three examples of Western Civilization advancements that black and brown cultures HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH...

So there, take that Roland Martin ... keep your hands off OUR stuff.

Black racists want King silenced. It destroys their racist screed. What King said was right and should be yelled out every day. No one should ever care about your color. Your strong work ethic and decency is how you should be judged.

Roland Martin's name is cultural appropriation. Roland was Count of the Breton Marshes under Charlemagne whose death in 778 inspired The Song of Roland (a wildly inaccurate poem), and St. Martin of Tours was born in Pannonia (modern Hungary) and became bishop of a city in Gaul (modern France). If Roland Martin can't show any French or Hungarian ancestry, he should change his name.

That should read “Count of the Breton Marches” not “Marshes.”

I get it.

So, the Constitution and the BofR, written by White Men are only FOR Whites and Males....according to the "theory" of Martin.

He better not quote the Constitution. Ever!

She handled him just fine. He was bullying with his own racism.
