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.”

I thought he was that guy with the fishing show.
Roland Martin is a racist. His entire orientation is on the color of his skin.
And take off your clothes. They are White People clothes. Don ye your loin cloths and check your spears at the front door.
“Please don’t speak English. You can talk in Swahili. English is for the people who built Western Civilization.”
CCg,
You should use that as your tagline before a fellow FReeper steals it. :-)
I’m “series”.
LOL
Why would anyone want to quote the tool of the communist Stanley Levison anyway? Mike King a “conservative republican”? LOLOLOLOLO0LOLOLOLOL can’t believe anyone here buys that one anymore LOL
It is Trump nation that supports the sweet words of inclusion from Dr. King. It is the left that is fighting for segregation once again.
Wow, Jennifer made Roland her bitch REAL fast.
The guy is a jerk, and doesn’t own MLK’s words because he has a similar concentration of melanin in his skin. I would hope that someone in King’s family - maybe MLK, III - would come out and say something similar.
I doubt that will be a problem.
Yep - seeming him with a newspaper would 'trigger' great anguish is me... I would run for my safe space - crying all the way... How dare he... how dare he...
Will MSNBC Bimbos empathize with my pain - will Mika and Joe do their 'caring' thing for ME? ME ME ME ME? (Is that a great imitation of a liberal or what? )
Skin color is super important to racists.
