  • On Wednesday, Rolland Martin appeared on NBC's Megyn Kelly Today to discuss the talk show host saying using blackface was OK for Halloween.
    After a big social media push-back, Kelly apologized and her producers invited Amy Holmes and Roland on the show to discuss her comments and explain to America why dressing up in blackface is wrong.
    Watch portions of their discussion and let us know what you think in the comments.

    I am a year old black woman from Camden, New Jersey and so proud of Roland. He's not only informative about black people he's knowledgeable about the things going on in Congress and the world. I love seeing him speaking with public figures in the position of power that have jobs they know nothing about. I would like to know what happened to some of our black men and women because some of them seemed to have forgotten where they came from. Did they forget they were here because of black parents. Some of those black parents lost their lives and were hung on a tree so we could vote and yet many of us are so into ourselves that we are willing to let their death be in vain.

      Until we get more black people in gatekeeper roles Hollywood (top heads of major studios, executive producers, etc), a lot of scripts about the real black experiences will not be greenlit. White Hollywood still only wants the shuckin and jivin, gangsta films, and slave movies. The Black experience is more nuanced, beautiful and diverse then that.

      It's unfortunate that oppressed have to teach the oppressor, but who else? The narrative will stay the same if no one, specifically 'black folk', don't share their issues. Some oppressors are purposely ignorant, but there are some who are naive to their oppressive actions.

      Sherri Williams I’m not American, and I understand the history of racism. The systematic racism within the LAPD and other places. I watch a lot of documentaries. I have a question, and I hope someone would be kind enough to answer it. In America, do you think that white people are so ashamed of the racist history, that they ignore it? That they become defensive out of shame? My husbands grandparents are indigenous Australian, although you can’t tell by the picture. And I think the history of racism in Australia is not spoken about because of shame. If you do mention it, people get defensive. My own blood is mixed with Romani Gypsy. People hate gypsies. There is a huge stigma about it, and stereotypes. They originated from India. I think people know that there is a terrible history of racism and are so unable to defend it....they become defensive. What do you think? I may be wrong. Thank you.

      @@pommiebears I think it has been tactically been untaught for years inorder to deny physical, emotional and most importantly financial responsibility of this behavior. Think about the implementation of admitting the willful oppression. The Bible says once the thief is caught he must repay 7 times the value of what he stole. Imagine the wealth gained not only from past slave owners but families, even companies that have benefited from the free labor of slaves. Some would argue that some type of compensation is due to the children of these people.

    The greatest thing to happen to Roland Martin was when he left TV One. Being "Nonfiltered" allows him the opportunity to speak truth to power without the fear of reprisal. Finally, people of all races can hear the truth and be educated about American History in the process. Bravo! This is what real discourse looks like and I applaud any show that has open dialogue. As a teacher, I allow my students to continue the discussion via debate. Make no mistake, our young people are aware of the issues and they too are listening! Let's keep the discussion going!

      I still need to know why Roland Martin passed of those questions to Donna Brazile, in order to help HRC defeat Bernie Sanders during the primaries in 2016 [questions particularly important to the Black struggle] Cheating the people from receiving the candid response from HRC, we so deserved! I feel, Roland Martin is extremely offensive to Black people, every time he takes time to address these type of issues, but he himself has never addressed his own treasonous behavior, nor has he apologized to us for his own actions!

      The goes for the good and bad that can be found in many black men/women or white men/woman.
      Where is it written that black people are the kindest, most honest, most open-minded, insightful, pure, deserving, precious, perfect, etc people of the world.
      Many black people don't seem to care that many black people had black slaves and treated them heinously.
      Many white people had white slaves.
      Most people, at some point throughout History have been slaves.
      Also, there have thousands of famous and important black people throughout History.
      But it seems many white people and black people strive to keep that knowledge in the dark.
      Hmmmmm?
      I wonder why.
      I KNOW WHY.
      And so do thousands of others.
      PS
      Many of those important and successful black people were women.
      Black People--Stop Saying All White People.
      White People--Stop Saying All Black People.
      Lastly, I'm curious why there are no White Sites with programs slamming black People.
      Makes one wonder who really has the hateful and racial hearts.
      I've been hearing many black people claim white people don't belong in the world.
      Many others claim that their looking for to ridden aka killing off all white people.
      Too many white people feel the same way about black people as these black people feel about white people.
      However, are not openly glorifying that time to come when they too can kill because of hate.
      Why don't ALL haters find a large deserted island, then kill each other off.
      This way the rest of us can breathe easy and not fear our neighbors.

That look is almost like that of the look a white woman has when she feels violated yet is much different than the face of a white woman when she is in fear more so on the side of terror. I won't say she was trying to fake cry but there is something definitely behind that face that screams there was a conversation prior to that address that hit home. Regardless of if she truly had a unbreakable $69M contract and she walks away paid she had to swallow a stomach load of pride and admit her wrong before the nation regardless of if she really wanted to or not.

    I’m white and completely offended that she didn’t know that? As a RN I’ve dealt with all races & ethnicities and know-in my heart-that EVERYONE deserves my respect & my courtesy-EVEN IF they’ve been disrespectful to ME! That’s THEIR ISSUE-not mine! I refuse to lower my own sense of morality to anyone ignorant enough to discriminate against someone who’s a different race or ethnicity. An empathetic person understands that. If I find they’ve been disrespectful toward me-I can choose a lot of options other than discriminating against them or spew ad Hominum attacks. THAT lowers MY moral fabric-and I’m better than that! I wish others realized that their RACISM hurts THEMSELVES in addition to being hurtful & harmful & shaming to others.

There were some things stated from observation of the video, that I wasn't aware of and no one really needs, and they deserve to know the truth, really does not need to because Chance gave details that made it very clear to the public exactly what happened.

    The audience was most important. Kelly's a lost cause.

      + T M ... Your right, she is toast as far as I can see. The true frontier IS the audience. There are those that need to listen and learn what all this is about at the ROOT.

    She's not use to having to apologize coming from Fox news, that's why reading the telegram was so hard.

    Right on Roland, she thought she was still on Fox news. She should have been talking to you 10 years ago, also I'm glad you where able to educate her and mostly important of all her audience.
