CNN’s Roland Martin Blasts Blacks For Not Holding Obama Accountable, Better Late Than Never I Guess
Your Black World ^ | June 16, 2012 | Yvette Carnell

First the LGBT lobby extracted an about face from Obama on marriage equality, moving him to declare his support for same sex marriage. Then today, Obama responded to the needs of the Latino community by allowing students in the U.S. who are already in deportation proceedings, or those who qualify for the DREAM Act, to remain in America without threat of deportation.

This means that President Obama just instated the Dream Act, at the behest of the Latino community, all by himself.

If you’re black and you don’t feel stupid, then you haven’t been paying attention. And many pundits, commentators, and activists obviously hadn’t been paying attention, at least not until recently.

In a series of tweets, CNN’s Roland S. Martin finally came around to the view I’ve held for months, and noted the following:

No sh*t Sherlock. Problem is, it’s too little too late. It’s hard, damn near impossible, to renegotiate a win in the ninth inning. The time to make the accountability argument would’ve been around early 2010, which just happens to have been around the time I began lighting a fire under of black people to wholeheartedly engage Obama on a black agenda. But when I made the case, all I heard was a bunch of nonsense about how I was a “hater” and how Obama was gonna hook black people up – eventually. Suckers.

Roland Martin had, in his role as CNN commentator (not to be confused with unbiased journalist), a lot of flexibility to ebb that flow of messianic nonsense. He didn’t. He was an apologist for the administration. And so wasVan Jones, who also, as of late, has been ratcheting up his criticisms of Obama.

As Obama continues to hang black people out to dry, a lot of people are going to jump on the *accountability* bandwagon. All I want is for you to remember who was sounding the alarm when it mattered – and who wasn’t.

Yes, there is hope out there. There are plenty of middle class black families in the Maryland and Virginia suburbs, where I grew up, although they are wedded to the democrat party. I’m glad you were able to celebrate your daughter’s achievement. Congrats to you both!

The group of Black Skittle heads that were so stupid as to help put that bastard in office the first time, will try to do it all over again. You can’t fix stupid....

As for Roland Martin..... good for him, but I still don’t trust him any farther than I can throw my house.

Does this mean Roland Martin will not be voting for Obama to hold him accountable? I don’t think so.

Otherwise, this guy Martin would probably make out with Obama’s dog if his O’liness ask him.

ROTFL.

Pretty soon one of these black folks is going to forget where they are and let loose with the "High Yella Ain't Black" boogie.
Then a loud, obscene, argument about just what "High Yella" means will ensue during all six of the commercials they cut away to in order to try and regain control of what they're broadcasting. If they go back to the show and no one is bleeding you can bet the argument is just on the back burner until after the show.

There is nothing white normal people can do about the nose diving condition of some of the Black race who have embraced amoral liberalism and handouts for the tribe. It is a way of life that is the opposite of Western civilization. It is Western civilization turned up-side-down.

White normal people have lost quite a few of their own tribe to the same mentality. All suffer from it because the darkness of leftist ideology and and it’s aggressive and deadly amoral humanist philosphy. It is really a religion of darkness with liberals serving as aggressive and punitive missionaries.

The consequences are denied through rules of political correctness which makes the truth a crime and converts young people to the ideology/religion when they don’t have the information they need to the contrary.

Everyone has to chose, no matter the color of their skin.

First getting “just” 90% of the Black vote won’t do it for him because Black enthusiasm to vote is down to 48% from 78% this time in 2008.

The thing that matters is not how much of the black vote he gets, but how enthused the black machine is about producing lots of fraudulent votes. It's a lot of work getting in the vans, going from polling place to polling place.

Plus more states have Voter ID laws in place.

We need to get more states with Voter ID, as a primary priority.

“Just an observation: in spite of all the problems we read about with various minority groups, blacks still don’t get the message that they have to be responsible for their own lives and can’t sit around waiting on reparations.”

During Sherman’s march through the south, slaves would attach themselves to the rear of Sherman’s columns. They expected food, clothing and shelter. The slaves were a real drag on Sherman’s manuevers. He not only had to forage for food for his troops, he also had to find additional stores for the slaves.

He would tell his commanders to drop the slaves off in towns they passed through. It was explained to them that they needed to hire themselves out as laborers so they could be paid and buy food and shelter for themselves. For many, this concept completely flew over their heads. They expected to sit back and allow the “master” to provide sustenance for them.

Some blacks are still at the rear of Sherman’s columns looking for free stuff. It’s been over 150 years. Time for the slaves to get a job or start a business.

Well, if people had left them alone in Africa, we wouldn’t have this problem, would we?

These phoneys don't care about accountability. They just mad because they haven't gotten their share of the obama stash yet, while all these other losers have gotten something they wanted.

“Did Roland just figure out that his affirmative action job might be given to a newly-legalized illegal alien?”

That’s already happened to millions of blacks with college admissions, jobs, and promotions; Hispanic immigration (legal or otherwise) has a disproportionate impact on blacks economically. Martin is probably realizing that his people are consigned to irrelevance by the Hispanics imported to replace them.

Whites are sharing another common fate of American blacks; their birthrate is falling (dramatically). Every projection of demographic shift kicks the can several decades down the road, despite the fact that anyone who has seen a schoolyard can see it is happening much more quickly than the media would ever let us know.

The Union generals wanted to know what Lincoln planned to do with the freed slaves after the war.

150 years later we still don’t have an answer (though they were more “independent” between the end of the war and Johnson’s “Great Society” 100 years later); there is no moral defense for Jim Crow or the other indignities following the Civil War, but blacks fended for themselves as adults.
