    To be honest I came here to low-key troll Roland Martin but as I listened I could not find one thing I disagreed with here. This is by far one of his best shows.
    The highlight for me was Cornell West standing 10 toes down on his views about Obama's presidency. No one is beyond reproach and should be held accountable for their actions or lack of action. Especially those in position of leadership.
    I also appreciated their discussion on the need of Black owned media outlets.
    Once again...great show. Much respect.

      @Maxine Fields Yeah and trump is all that and a bag of chips!? Please! He kept us out of pandemics, he tried to get medical for all including those with preconditions. He saved the economy which trump took credit for and started the releasing of low level crime offenders who had been in jail for years and more. He made mistakes, but what president hasn't? He must of been halfway decent cause this president wants to take credit for the good he did and blame all the bad on him as well as undo anything he implemented whether it made sense or not! Like firing all the Pandemic staff that was under Obama that kept us from being in the situation we find ourselves in now! This president blames ALL of his troubles on Obama and always wants to be above Obama! He can't keep Obama's name out if his mouth! So if he was such a bad president then trump shouldn't have his name in his mouth like he does, or have I ever recalled a president in my lifetime rile against their predecessor like he does!

      @Maxine Fields Obama didn't straight up lie to black people and tell us he was going to do this or that "specificly" for black people! He said he was the president of all the United States not just black people. And it's hard to do anything specifically for black people while you are trying to keep the country out of a depression! I don't want to hear about the alphabet community! He also helped with student loan forgiveness and with trying to keep people in their houses with home mortgage refinancing for those who were upside down with their home mortgages. He tried to do other things as well, but we were looking for "Super Shaft President," who stayed having to fight being ridiculed and having his wife called monkey and other things that were said that were racist and just plain disrespectful! You need to go back and take a look at what was going on during those eight years my sister! Black people must not remember how Obama was treated by Congress and the disrespect he was given!. Why are we so forgetful? Why don't we know how politics work? They even tried to say that Obama was going against the constitution when he tried to get things done. The Republicans wanted him impeached when he pushed through healthcare or better known as the Obama Care Act that some states would not adopt and those states have high medical costs and a lot of uninsured people! I knew as a black president he was going to catch hell, cause he was black and everybody was expecting, once again "Super Shaft President," which even I knew he wasn't going to be able to be or live up to! So let's just say don't be expecting too much from ANY president! Your local politics is REALLY what you should be focused on, cause that is what really has a DIRECT impact. What happens in Washington affects us a little later down the line if it gets through CONGRESS.

      And I would only guess that your idea of black progression is somehow tied to greed on your own behalf, oh poor you. If I were a gambling man I would bet that you are a consecutive rethuglican (just putting it out there), which is the party of the me, my and mine. You are probably so worried about a person possibly blocking you from making a penny that you don't see the dollars rolling right on by. It's very evident that you missed the point and meaning of the whole conversation (greed tends to have that affect on people), which was needing and uplifting each other. See your greedy rethuglican talking points render you blind and deaf to anything except that they are spoon feeding you (for there benefit). All the years (many many years) I've known of Roland Martin he has always spoke about black achievement, progression and financial security and otherwise. What you probably don't like is his philosophy of "to much is given much is required", meaning now that you're eating invite some of your people to the table or better yet help and teach them how they can obtain there own table!!!!!!

      This is kinda off topic, but I really think there was such a deep seeded hatred for Obama, being our first black President. Ppl just festered, his whole presidency, with jealous, racist hate. That's probably how Trump won, bc he LOATHES Barry, and all the racists voted for him.
      trumps got all these racists comn out the woodwork! Ppl everywhere are constantly argumentative & spewing cruelty & hatred at each other. It is so depressing & tiresome - my whole life, I've been an advocate of equality, I've corrected ppl on the white washed narrative of this country's History, bc this fake empire has all been built on lies, treachery, deceit, falsehoods, etc. Keeping one man down, while the greedy white supremacist criminals get to live the American dream?

    I have the utmost respect and love for Brother Cornel West, and to see Roland Martin conversing with him as a contemporary, exchanging ideas, and melding their consciousness across the board addressing the issues of reparations, and reconstructionism as it has to be, should be now, and how in the future it needs to become to alter reality in the black community for the better.
    It is refreshing to see the way these great minds work, pulling knowledge from the past, meshing it with the knowledge of today, and formulating a vision of a better day, where black Americans can operate on an equal playing field in this country, You don't know how many interviews I have seen where the host has just sat in silent awe of the mighty stream of intellect, and consciousness that Brother Cornel projects... yet Roland got in there as they say in the hood, "Got Knee Deep" in the conversation, and Dr West received as much intellectually as he gave here today.
    You both have forged a masterwork, dare I say a MASTERCLASS of how to tackle a problem, and what needs to be done to formulate the solution / solutions to make lasting corrections in a modular way....
    This was so enjoyable to watch, I can't thank you enough for this video.

      @@cherylrhodes3107 hey Ms Cheryl-the issues with Cornell West and Obama began when West was a professor at Harvard and Obama was a law student. It's a long standing battle that is rooted to their personal history at Harvard. The other issue lies in the fact Barack's main constituency were White voters, but he used Black people's emotions to get into the White House. Cornell West and Tavis Smiley have their issues with Obama that lie in Obama's lack of ties to the African American experience. Outside of marrying Michelle, which gave him the credibility with black people he lacked, Obama has always lived a Caucasian life and is now passing as a brother when he is a Kenyan from Hawaiii. This is just my own observations of the situation.

    I’ve been hearing Minister Farrakhan since back in the early 70’s while in JHS, growing up in NYC. What I admire about the man is not his beliefs, but his consistency. In my worldview, character is not dependent so much on what a man believes but on what MLK would call the “content of a man’s character”. And that I believe Minister Farrakhan’s has a lot of. So does Mr. West. Men of character are consistent in their judgment, whether it be about black or a white person. In Minster Farrakhan’s world view what is wrong in a white person is also wrong in a black person. He doesn’t judge democrats and republicans using different standards. He will call out a republican for the wicked things he believes the republican has done wrong but he will also call out democrats… Let’s not forget “Hillary is a wicked woman”. Unlike Roland that you never know what will come out of his mouth. He may one day criticize a white republican for about anything under the sun, but a week later when a black democrat does or says exactly the same thing he will rationalize it as good or of no importance, and of course his most often response is to not even mention it at all. The reason Minister Farrakhan in my opinion is so maligned in media is because he has a message of empowerment for blacks not of victimhood, or of “you can’t do anything unless the white man gives you this or that or does this or that for you”. The white democrats will do anything to prevent blacks from believing they could do anything for themselves without their help and intervention. Imagine how far blacks could go and the great things they could achieve (like Minister Farrakhan believes they can) if they got all their doctors, lawyers, business people, scientists, athletes, millionaires, money and talent and got together to do something for themselves without the help of the white democrats or white people in general… Maybe one day people like Roland, Maxine, Sharpton, Dyson and on and on will get out of their way with their victimhood message of dependence on white democrats.
