Political commentator Roland Martin has been suspended indefinitely by CNN over a series of tweets he published during the Super Bowl. "Roland Martin's tweets were regrettable and offensive," CNN said in a statement. "Language that demeans is inconsistent with the values and culture of our organization, and is not tolerated. We have been giving careful consideration to this matter, and Roland will not be appearing on our air for the time being." Those comments, published on his personal Twitter feed, concerned a two Super Bowl ads, including an H&M spot showcasing a new David Beckham underwear line.

I think “gay” trumps “black” in the heirarchy of victimhood.

Of course you’re right. I keep getting those mixed up.

I guess that made Michael Jackson an Ace of Spades!

Yes, someone put it like this in descending order of who "wins" in the media:

Muslims trump

LBGQ who trump

Hispanics who trump

Blacks

If you read any MSM story, you'll notice this is pretty much set in stone. So Roland Martin didn't have a chance. If a Muslim had said this, he MIGHT have squeaked by.

Which is why this movie did so well.

Man that is too funny.

Poor Roland didn't get the memo. Gays outflank blacks in the liberal pecking order. if only Roland was a transsexual black muslim women perhaps he would have been able to get away with it.

LOL

That would make RuPaul the "Queen" of victims.

This ad changed my mind. Now it's obvious to me that Beckham is a low-life.

David Beckham talks on getting older, fatherhood
