roland martin is a troll, not only in looks, but actions as well. Anybody that pays attention to this guy needs help. His IQ is obviously pretty low and he's just plain ugly. I honestly cannot look at the guy for more than a couple seconds.
BTW, the race card is getting SO old.. who even notices skin color any more? seriously, if you do, you need to get out more.

Understand?

The article says the opposition is "LARGELY WHITE".... hence the demographic breakdown correlation.
No, sorry, still not correct. The population being discussed isn't the general population. It's the population of people opposing the Obama school speech. You can't extrapolate from the general population to a population that is being controlled for in a particular way, such as in this discussion.

According to your way of thinking, every group identification, regardless of controls, would then be "largely white" because that's the demographic for the population at large. Doesn't work that way.

does roland ever give a source his information? I already said I cannot stand the guy, so I am not going to listen to him speak. If I had to guess, I would guess he did not. There obviously was a poll done to get this "majority", so where is that poll? If I had to guess again, I would guess cBS or msnBS did it. They always seem to find the people that support their side of the argument in their polls. Funny how that happens..

The vast majority of blacks are democrats. Nobody would expect a majority of those opposed to something a democratic president does to be black. Add to that the fact that this democratic president is black. I would expect very little, if any, black oppostion.

Martin's comment was so asinine that I can only think of one reason that he would have made it other than the very real possibility that the man is stupid. The comment was designed to fuel the idea that any opposition to Obama and his policies must be racist.

The problem is that the comment was so asinine that it still makes Roland Martin look stupid. I think he's just too stupid to realize it and ditto for who ever that was he was talking too. That was a couple of real major league idiots there trying in vain to make any sense.

you're giving him too much credit Reel

he's definitely at least a few quarter shy of a dollar bill in the IQ department and I can't believe cnn still lets him on. He really makes them look bad; almost as bad as msnbc.

Is this the Roland Martins laugh in show from the 1960's.

Hey Roland, stop the whining and get the hell over it stupid.

With 95% of all blacks voting for Obama he forget to mention that 95% of them were largely black and racist.

He needs to be fired for this comment. Anyone else would have said this the left would have went crazy.

Boycott his advertisers and demand he be fired.

Shame on y'all for being white. You must immediately surrender your first white daughter to a black man for breeding purposes to absolve your guilt. (preferably an underprivileged one who isn't an anti-Obama Uncle Tom)

No kidding. The majority of all approval/disapproval of everything in the US is "white"
