Roland Martin CRIES racism, EMBARRASSES black people



Journalist Roland Martin is a Democrat, which is why it’s no surprise that he’s crying racism over a simple question he was asked recently.

“White people really crack me up,” Martin said in a video he posted to social media. “So y’all see what I got on,” he added, referring to the Texas A&M jersey he was wearing.

“I color-code. So everything in my bag is Texas A&M,” he continued. “So I’m walking, white dude says, ‘You a fan or did you play?’ I knew exactly what he was talking about. I said, ‘Excuse me?’”

“All I said was ‘No, I’m a graduate,’ and I walked off. That’s the s**t black people have to deal with,” he added.


Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” is amused, to say the least.

“How did he survive?” Whitlock mocks.

“What a harrowing experience.”

“He went to a PWI, and someone asked him whether he was a fan or a former player. Nobody knows the trouble Roland has seen. We shall overcome,” he continues.

“Roland’s a cornball,” Shemeka Michelle chimes in. “For him to even feel like this is some sort of microaggression and this is what you have to deal with with white people. There are times when I may be going to a sports bar to watch a Carolina or Duke game. I may be in Carolina gear; I would not be offended if someone asked me, ‘Did you play or are you a fan?’”

However, Whitlock isn’t so sure this isn’t all a part of some grand scheme for clicks.

“There is a chance that Roland knows exactly what he’s doing. It’s like, ‘Hey, I’m going to put out this little fake story, and I’m going to trigger people like Jason Whitlock and Shemeka Michelle and I’m going to trend all over social media,’” he speculates.

“Some attention is better than no attention,” he adds.

‘The making of a race clown’: ESPN has its very own Jussie Smollett



If you thought society was marked safe from the likes of Jussie Smollett, then you’d be wrong, because there's more than one of him.

And Jason Whitlock says one of those Smollett clones is ESPN host Ryan Clark.

“When everybody was doing their George Floyd gimmick, their Jussie Smollett gimmick, Ryan Clark went on television. I can’t think of the name of this black host who assisted him in telling this far-fetched comical tale about the racism that his son experienced. And Ryan Clark got to crying on TV,” Whitlock says.

According to Clark’s son, he and a couple of his college football teammates went to a Whataburger during lockdowns, when only the drive-thru was open. Because the boys didn’t have a car, they asked a woman who was going through the drive-thru if she would order their food for them and they’d pay her in turn.


Clark’s son claimed that the woman then complained to the manager about their harassment and that he comped her meal. When it was done, she allegedly turned to them and yelled, “Thanks for the free food, n*****s.” He said she said the slur again, and the manager told them they were in the wrong.

“Now, this is a white woman who, according to the story, seems to be in the car by herself, and there’s three college football players, large men, athletic-looking men, and this woman in Arizona just wants to shout the N-word at them without being provoked?” Whitlock asks.

“She’s just looking for trouble with three large, athletic, young black men,” Whitlock continues. “Do you think this story makes sense? And that the manager they’re insinuating overheard all of this and sided with the racist white woman?”

Regardless of whether the story is true or not, Whitlock sees the tale — and Clark’s dramatic reaction on television — as a symptom of a larger issue.

“This is the delusion that we live in. This is the reflection of the matriarchal culture, and this is Ryan Clark, a man that played a combat, predatory sport, football. He doesn’t realize he’s developed the mindset of a woman and he lives off in a fantasy world,” Whitlock says.

“This is the making of a race clown. This is a dance and a ritual. This is something Ryan Clark has to do in order to get that paycheck from people that want you focused on a conflict between black and white people,” he adds.

Jussie Smollett's conviction for hate crime hoax dismissed in 'surprising' 5-0 decision by Illinois Supreme Court



Jussie Smollett's conviction for his headline-grabbing hate crime hoax has been dismissed.

The Illinois Supreme Court on Thursday — in what WLS-TV said was a "surprising" 5-0 decision — ruled that an agreement between the former "Empire" actor and Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx to drop criminal charges in exchange for a fine and community service should have stood.

Smollett claimed the two men wearing ski masks beat him up, put a rope around his neck, poured bleach on him, and hollered, 'This is MAGA country!'

"We are aware that this case has generated significant public interest and that many people were dissatisfied with the resolution of the original case and believed it to be unjust," the court said in its ruling, according to WLS. "Nevertheless, what would be more unjust than the resolution of any one criminal case would be a holding from this court that the State was not bound to honor agreements upon which people have detrimentally relied."

The station added that the court referred to Bill Cosby's case in Pennsylvania as part of its decision.

As the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania recently stated when enforcing a prosecutorial promise not to prosecute, "It cannot be gainsaid that society holds a strong interest in the prosecution of crimes. It is also true that no such interest, however important, ever can eclipse society's interest in ensuring that the constitutional rights of the people are vindicated. Society's interest in prosecution does not displace the remedy due to constitutionally aggrieved persons." Cosby, 252 A.2d at 1147.

The court said it has remanded the Smollett case back to the circuit court to enter a judgment of dismissal, WLS reported, adding that two of the seven state supreme court justices didn't take part in the arguments or decision.

An Illinois appeals court in December upheld Smollett's disorderly conduct conviction by a 2-1 vote, the station said, adding that Smollett then appealed to the state supreme court.

What's the background?

Smollett — who is black and gay — made national headlines for claiming a pair of supporters of then-President Donald Trump physically attacked him near his apartment in Chicago in the early morning hours of Jan. 29, 2019.

Smollett claimed the two men wearing ski masks confronted him as he was leaving a Subway restaurant around 2 a.m. in below-freezing conditions and yelled, "Aren't you that f***ot 'Empire' n*****?" before beating him up, putting a rope around his neck, pouring bleach on him, and hollering, "This is MAGA country!" — a reference to Trump's red "Make America Great Again" hats.

But once a police investigation began, Smollett's story began to crumble.

Chicago police caught the two suspects in the crime, Nigerian-born brothers Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo — aspiring actors whom Smollett knew from the Chicago set of "Empire" and from a gym. The brothers told police that Smollett paid them to stage the attack in an effort to boost his career. In fact, then-Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said Smollett used a check to pay the brothers $3,500 to pull off the staged attack.

Johnson added that Smollett's hoax "pissed everybody off."

Detectives said surveillance video and in-car taxi videos corroborated the Osundairo brothers' claims, as did telephone logs, rideshare records, and credit card records, according to a case summary document prosecutors released.

Smollett was arrested in February 2019 and charged with felony disorderly conduct for filing a false police report — but that same year, he and Foxx in reached an agreement to drop charges against him in exchange for $10,000 bond and community service.

However, in February 2020, a special prosecutor tasked with investigating the handling of the Smollett case indicted him. Interestingly, the state supreme court refused to throw out charges against Smollett a month later.

A jury in December 2021 found Smollett guilty on five of six counts of felony disorderly conduct for staging a hate crime against himself and then lying to police about the hoax.

During that trial, prosecutors alleged the actor arranged a "dry run" of the hoax with his co-conspirators days prior to it taking place — and that the practice session was captured on surveillance video.

The Osundairo brothers testified against Smollett in the trial, each taking the witness stand to repeat their claims that Smollett told them to place a noose around his neck and shout racial and homophobic slurs while roughing him up in view of a street camera.

'Your very name has become an adverb for lying.'

Smollett testified in his own defense and maintained that “there was no hoax" and that the brothers are “liars” who attacked him over homophobia and tried to extort money from him after the fact.

Lead prosecutor Dan Webb wasn't buying it, saying Smollett's lies cost the Chicago Police Department resources and caused racial division.

“Besides being against the law, it’s just plain wrong for Mr. Smollett, a successful black actor, to outright denigrate something as serious, as heinous, as a real hate crime. To denigrate it and then make sure it involved words and symbols that have such horrible historical significance in our country," Webb said according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Smollett in March 2022 was sentenced to 150 days in jail.

In an address before issuing his sentence, Cook County Judge James Linn eviscerated Smollett, calling him a "charlatan" and telling him "your hypocrisy is astounding"; "you wanted to make yourself more famous" through the elaborate, "premeditated" caper, and then "you threw a national pity party for yourself." But the worst part, the judge said, was that Smollett lied to authorities about it all.

"Your very name has become an adverb for lying," Linn said.

Smollett hollered in court, "I am not suicidal, and I am innocent." He added that "I did not do this" and that "if anything happens" to him while in jail that he didn't do it to himself.

Smollett's defense lawyers pushed for a new trial, but the mountain of evidence against their client was too high, and Linn — who presided over Smollett's trial in December 2021 in which he was convicted — denied the new trial request.

Prior to sentencing, the prosecution read a victim impact statement from the city of Chicago that blasted Smollett for making it less likely that actual victims of hate crimes will come forward to law enforcement. The city also requested just over $130,000 in restitution for the resources they said Smollett wasted.
