YES, I FOUND THAT STATEMENT (WITH THE STRETCHED EYES) RATHER SUSPICIOUS AND JUST TRULY UNPROFESSIONAL. IF I WERE DR. UMAR JOHNSON I WOULD HAVE FELT UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THAT REACTION TOO. (WALKING PAST A GUEST AND YOU DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THEM...WITH A 'HELLO OR EVEN A NOD'. COME ON...THAT WAS A FORESEEN MOMENT...THAT HE WAS TOTALLY ON POINTE...THE INTERVIEW WAS GOING TO BE ROCKY. THAT WAS NOT RIGHT. MY DEAR MOTHER USED TO SAY AND IT STILL HAS REVELENCE; THAT A BLACK WOMAN WILL WALK IN YOUR PATH AND WILL AVOID SPEAKING OR NODDING TO YOU. AND AS YOU COME CLOSER TO THEM THEY WILL LOWER THEIR HEAD OR TURN THEIR FACE TO KEEP FROM SPEAKING TO YOU. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE???
Although, I have heard guests on podcasts in general talk about how hosts didn't greet them. It's seems to be an industry standard. When challenged for this in the podcast, at least one hosts justified it by saying he is too busy at that time, prepping everything for the show, to greet all guests personally. And the rest of the crew basically agreed with host. And it is like TV, expensive and pressurized work environment. Personally I'd like a nod of the head at least, but I could understand and forgive if I didn't get it.
Sometimes ppl just don't see you if they are focused on something else honestly. I have seen it happen before, just some ppl can get real hyperfocused on what they are about to do. I think Roland explained that.
Facts! Roland Martin treated whites folks so good on that show. He didn’t ask Hillary Clinton any tough questions. He danced with her and helped her pander to the black community
@64endlesslove he didn't lie though he made an assumption. "I think that's why the show was canceled at the end of the year cuz I'm popular, blahblahblah" Still not a lie though
With all due respect Unc, explaining that you don't greet guests at your show by comparing that to not speaking to your staff says more about you than I think you realize.
I’m not gonna lie, I remember watching that episode and it absolutely did feel like an attack 🤷🏾♂️. The whole vibe was very hostile and it seemed like Roland and the panel were trying to discredit Dr. Umar or have a “gotcha” moment.
Roland tried that with King Randall too solely because he was a conservative. Forget about all the positive things that young man was doing to help young troubled black kids.
@@alex-yj4gd you’re right, I remember that too. Very disappointing.. Roland is entitled to act how he pleases, it’s just odd to deny it later and try to pretend like he never did anything. Stand on business Roland.
Exactly they only care for clicks, attach a name to something and you get clicks instantly. All these people eating off of remy and pap drama, without really knowing or saying anything
It’s all about good and bad energy. I was always taught when one enters the room that person should speak. You don’t have to have a long conversation but it only takes a second to speak. It’s all about starting the day off with positive energy. I know Roland says he has his game face on and he doesn’t speak to anyone before the show. It only takes a second to say good morning. Good Morning = Good Energy.
Lastly I have to say I support both Roland and Dr. Johnson. The reason why is because they are both on the same team fighting for their people. Both are educated with strong wills and big egos but must realize they are on the same team. This reminds me of when Malcolm X left the NOI to form his own organization. Although they had a disagreement both Malcolm’s new organization and the Nation were still on the same team fighting for their people but unfortunately it ended tragically because of ego and jealousy. Sometimes we have to set our egos and pride aside for the bigger picture.
Maybe Roland wasn't paying attention to Umar? Maybe Roland mind was infact on the show. Many people stops me and ask why I didn't speak, not that I meant to ignore that person but when you're focusing on a particular thing sometimes that happens. Frfr
He didn’t say he was the reason, he said he thinks that’s the reason. Roland, u play too much. Just say u don’t like the man but don’t try to justify this. The mood was off. Your panel was rude and in attack mode. Boy bye
Roland you should be able to acknowledge your guest and staff by greeting them properly without losing focus. Being focused on the show is not an excuse to be rude and unprofessional. You should be able to greet people without losing focus or is that just too much to ask?
It seems that Dr Umar is implying that on all previous occasions Roland would speak to him and greet him in the very exact same scenario as this one. But on this occasion it deviated from what had previously been the norm.
This makes no sense. I don’t care if you don’t speak to your staff/team (which is weird); but, who invites someone to their home and doesn’t speak and acknowledge them. This is ridiculous. What type of mindset does a “prominent” newscaster have that makes them want to take this approach. He could have researched and communicated all the credentials to Dr. Umar and asked him, did I leave anything out. No, instead he puts him in a position to affirm who he is as a scholar. Journalist-look up your facts in advance. Support his accomplishments-matter of fact, you probably looked them up, so stop the game playing.
It’s hard to see that Roland Martin dedicated a whole show to this. I remember when Dr. Umar participated in that panel. They ALL came after Dr. Umar. It was pathetic, and he literally made them look like fools.
It is healthy for the community to see people show common courtesy and greet any person who visits your show. If the person is important enough to be on the show, they are important enough to speak to when you see them in the building.
Nope, part of systemic brainwashing...bite that and see why it's good to appease people of color or being kind, polite and respectful are brainwashing techniques....Synthesize people wake up, retrain your brain , take control....
I think as you walked by Umar and didn't acknowledge Umar's presence, it tells a lot about you. Umar is important, and ignoring him seems like you have issues with him.
Yes indeed! We should be able to agree to disagree without hating on each other. We have a mountain of issues that must be addressed and we should be pulling together on them.
The star of the show IS THE STAR. CAST AND CREW ARE UBITQUITOUS. Ed McMahon was a fine part of the act but could have easily been replaced! Let that sink in!
The last gentleman speaking is 100% correct and he is very professional and speaking reason. Now, I definitely understand busy. But May i state a fact, Roland, when Dr Umar stated you did not speak to him and you responded, i am getting ready for a show, i don't even speak to staff. I cannot believe you won't take a second to say hello, regardless if you're preparing for a show, its "hello" Staff is setting things up for you, what about appreciation. It shows your Heart. I am an Executive Officer who has worked with millionaires and they don't speak, and feel like they should have special treatment. But i refuse to allow such people to mistreat me or others if i see it. God bless everyone KayInspirer
It wasn't BS. I was so excited to see that interview because I love Umar. And I was like why they coming for Umar? And why black folks such champions for interracial dating. Anyway. At first I felt for Umar, then I was like Dr. Umar is handling these negros! He earned more points with me after this interview with Roland.
Before I retired, I did that all the time. Why? I'm not a morning person and that time of day bugged the shit out of me. I told people not to talk to me before I've had my 1st couple cups of coffee. THEY understood. Not sure why you don't. Roland might've been deep in thought too, and didn't even see Umar. I didn't see people either, early in the morning. I ran from those perky, "Good morning," folks. Takes me a while to get my motor running, then I was bothering people who were winding down when I was winding up. We would laugh & laugh about my hyper ass in the afternoon hours. I'll never forget this one guy who would groan when he saw me coming in the afternoon. I'd run up to him and say HEY all loud. He said consistently that he couldn't stand my ass. I LAUGHED, which made him laugh too!! That generation of people takes things too seriously and need to lighten up. Grow a pair. Don't be so fragile. You don't know what's going on in someone's head. How about ask before you assume anything????
that isn't remotely analogous. Roland is responding to Dr. Umar's opinion of what the beef is about. Roland and Umar are not dealing in fact...not hard to believe given feelings are involved.
Another problem in our community is the inability to eradicate confusion amongst our brotherhood/sistarhood, and how valuable we are to each other. It's disappointing to hear him say Umar means nothing to him. This is what continues to drive the division within our communities. Roland says he hates drama, but he's continuing to through fuel and coals on this fire instead of coming with an extinguisher.
Roland showed what happened, i believe he did a great job of this. The guys said they were beefing! I didn't know any of this. Am glad Roland took the time out of his busy schedule and explained what really happened. Thanks.
@@racistsbegone7215 that's not my point. My point is he's saying he doesn't like something that he is actively contributing to. But you're right, he has the right to be a hypocrite
@racistsbegone7215 When you say you don't care what folks say about you. That usually means you move on. Roland's panel should not be in the middle of this so called beef between Umar and Roland. It doesn't look professional, and it's a waste of your panels time. Roland has been in the game for a while. He should no better. Not to get caught up in foolishness.
I saw the show on TV One, live and it was definitely a setup to ambush, embarrass and discredit Dr Umar on national television. They were gunning for him, and it seemed his stance on IR relationships was particularly triggering for them. In fact, I believe they were directed to do so. That's why he didn't greet him backstage as he looked right at him. It definitely got the show canceled, but we are not going to pretend it wasn't a hostile environment.
@@xxvolution me too. he kind of exposed himself as being exactly what umar calls him, a democratic plantation "slave". he's only allowed to be a little extreme, and a little revolutionary and not cross boundaries.
VERY HOSTILE AND EVIL ENVIRONMENT...RECORDINGS DO NOT LIE, BUT PEOPLE DO. EVEN AMID RECEIPTS. I KNOW I SAW HIM DISRESPECT A WOMAN SPEAKING ABOUT 'PLANNED PARENTHOOD' AND IT WAS AWFUL...SHE COULD NOT GET A WORD OUT FROM HIS 'NAPELEON EPISODES'...IT WAS SO STRANGE. JUST YELLING AND CARRYING ON...I THOUGHT HE WAS HAVING A MELTDOWN...THEN I SAW OTHER RECORDINGS...IT IS JUST HIS WAY. DESTRUCTIVE...I BET HIS PANEL IS AFRAID OF HIS TAUNTS. SADLY SO. MIGHT BE TRUE.
Roland! I’m a fan of yours, but your first response proved that part of what Dr Umar stated is correct. Theirs nothing wrong with speaking with a guest before the show starts. It takes less than 5 seconds to say hello. Especially when you walk right past someone in a hole hallway . Dude you wrong for that for real. Umar has a point bro and I don’t care who says I’m wrong. Man I’m a black man and I’m tired of seeing black men fight against each other instead of coming together and helping each other succeed.
The problem is most of us are either for sale. I watched that show and it was very uncomfortable the way they treated that man with hostility they don’t even show bigots. And yet I still haven’t seen Dr Umar talk about Roland in the manner Roland talks about him. These ninjas ain’t 💩 🤦🏾♂️. You can tell this was personal from the start. Old Carlton ssa bootlickin Kneegrows
You have never been in your head rushing around and don’t even notice someone was around? I know I have. Doesn’t mean have anything against the person. Just didn’t notice them. Hence the expression, “ I didn’t even notice you there.”
That's BS. You have no idea what you're talking about, he takes Democrats to task also. Exactly what have Republicans done for Black folks lately besides marginalize us??
Why are you focusing on him. You both are representing and wanting to help Black ppl. Dr. Umar is standing much taller than you right now. This is ridiculous.
Just because you invite someone on the show doesn't mean you care about them or their thoughts it just means it adds variety to your show it's important to have different and interesting perspectives. I personally think Umar is a joke ...when he tries to purposely pretend he is giving a sermon. ANNOYING!!! Secondly him sucking up to Tump makes me 🤮. Some people would suck up to Hitler if they are selfish AND think they can personally be bestowed some gift from the hateful loser. He is willing to kiss the ring. Umar think he is so important but he is a fake bore puffing up as tho a leader when he is a nobody w few hundred followers who can't see thru him like I do.
So you think every talk show host cares about every guest they have on their show? They bring on people and discuss topics that are trending. It's not personal.
Even if he thought it was a set up he could've left, but he didn't have to call the brother a Co*n, and that is a fact. Being called a liar is wayyyyyy different then being called a Co*n. One is an action of a person and the other is shaming a person. just saying.🙏🙏
I'm glad Roland said that. What I get from Umar most the time is narcissism. He literally said he's the smartest scholar. I'm like bro come on... stop it lol.
@@realtordarlenejohnson8812@realtordarlenejohnson8812 Certainly right, you don't have to like everyone, but he treated Hillary Clinton with kid gloves and does the same with Kamala Harris. He does not keep the same tone and energy.

😂😂😂 I loved the light- hearted segments like the comedians and the lady who brought 😂her GRANDMOTHER'S ASHES 😆😆😆.I saw Yvonne Ojai on the show for the first time 😅
Naw, I saw the show on TV One, and it was definitely a setup. They were gunning for him, and it seemed his stance on IR relationships was particularly triggering for them. In fact, I wonder if they were not all directed to do so. Now, it definitely didn’t get the show canceled, but we are not going to pretend it wasn't a hostile environment.
I remember that interview. I thought the other conservative dude was the aggressor. Roland seemed to check Dr. Umar but not the conservative dude. It started to go left from there. The dude called Dr. Umar a liar. At the end of the day Roland and Dr. Umar are two brilliant minds. I hope they make amends. ✊💯
Yes, I hate it when the brothers go publicly tarishing each other, however; I did notice from day one that Rowland does not care too much for Urmar. And, I like both brothers dearly!
I wouldn’t consider Dr Umar a “brilliant mind”. He’s articulate but he says a lot of falsehoods and projecting his personal agenda as facts. He’s a scammer.
Brilliant Minds? Brilliant Minds would be politically independent. Having no permanent political friends or permanent political enemies----only a permanent political and economic interest for the "Black Community" Dr Jawanza Kunjufu PhD Author of more than 31 Books was doing what Umar Johnson is doing long before Umar. Lol
Being fair Roland, a couple of your guests were very disrespectful to the brother and the whole thing of questioning his scholarship was just petty. You can disagree with the brother (I disagree with alot that he says) ,but why did you all feel the need to attack his scholarship when you could have easily verified that before he got there.
I like Roland but I believe in being fair, I watched the interview in question before this whole thing with the Joe Budden podcast, and I did feel Roland's dislike for Umar during that interview. To me Roland's hostility towards Umar was obvious.
Too much chata amongst those guys,we are in the liberation business controlling the media is important,blacks needs to organise centralised unity is strength,blacks to develop their own social and economic structures United we’re strong divided we fall,love is the key,one love,respect.
That panel was a firing squad, Roland stood by and allow these people to degrade this man on his show, and then gets in his feelings when Umar calls him out. Still going on the attack, with creating the messiness among us black folk.
I remember watching that interview and really anyone that did could only come away with the idea that Roland treated it like a hostile interview. With any press you can automatically tell by the tone of the question and the line of questions if someone is trying to play hardball. I don't know why Roland came in hot like that but there is no denying what happened.
Dr Umar said and I quote "I intellectually destroyed is panel" 😂😂😅😅Roland I respect you but you are responding..but both are great leaders I wish you both would get along!!!
On a side note, it's amazing how black people always want to make BM "show their papers" before we can validate them or give credence to their message, stature or agenda, but we don't always offer the same rigorous examination when the person asking for our money or compliance to their offer of leadership is non-black or a BW. I don't even like Dr. Umar, btw, but he's still a BM and gets treated by the community as consistently as other BM. Even Obama went through this by us. We had to examine him to a T first before we could throw our support behind him, but Bill can play a saxophone on the Arsenio Hall show or Hillary can talk about how she "keeps me some hot sauce in my purse" and we're all behind them.
It is shameful at best the level of pettiness, and disrespect that we level toward each other. The fact remains, we have no power...For those of you who falsely think that voting for a party that clearly has DISDAIN for your people while overwhelmingly voting for the other party that ONLY offers small morsels of stale meat and of course a few appointment of "black faces in high places." For those who may think that we have the freedom to wantonly and foolishly spend our hard earned dollars with others only to be disrespected in their place of establishment and think that is wise...For those of you who think that it is wise and are ONLY content to vote these no good politicians into office but do not get any thing tangible in return, but a sound of "I feel your pain" and/or I am sorry...While others get billions. I am sorry to say that way of thinking is beyond SHEER STUPIDITY. I can only ask these questions: When, when will we ever, ever learn? When, when are going to have respect and love for one another? When, when are we going to hold these no good politicians accountable? PERHAPS NEVER. We are too busy engaging in petty nonsense and disrespecting one another.
exactly and to say the same thing differently and hopefully it hits with some urgency but after their argument they still have the same socioeconomic enemy at the end of the day.
I totally agree but at the same time, I can see why Roland wanted to say his piece. For what Roland does, his reputation is what he needs not to be tainted or compromised. Now it's time to move on.
Roland I respect and hold to high esteem both you powerful men. Their are times I disagree with you , there are times I disagree with Umar but still have the up most respect. With that said I pray there is closure and reconciliation between you all Black Men , Women, boys and girls need you guys …. Is my prayer
*I agree with every single word Dr. Umar said to Joe about beta-male Roland!💯* That was Dr. Umar vs. Everybody that day with roley poley Roland and Dr. Umar wrecked that whole panel! Face to face with an Alpha on set, Roland didn't try his bully tactics ~ I wonder why?
This is why I have been rocking with Roland since his days on the big networks. His words mean something. May God continue to bless your life, and family as you put in the work.
So if he had someone on his show that he truly respects, he wouldn’t speak to them prior to the show? Martin, that sounds like a lie, or you have bad character.
I use to respect you Martin or whatever tf ur name is but you just another so called black leader who is in the pockets of the democratic party. Everyone see straight through you. Either way Trump is going to win over Biden. The only reason Biden won is because of the lies that were told about Trump. That man deserves to be President again.
All the fragile ego on display is so ridiculous. So petty, so insecure and very immature. With all the important issues that are happening, WHY even waste time on this kind of nonsense?
@@a.sam.2976 The childish ego antics are incredibly immature and a total waste of time. They serve to reduce people down to being a joke who should not be taken seriously.
I've always felt that he is. It feels almost like a con or grift. He blamed Black people for why his school never opened because they wouldn't donate their time to work for free. I've never read anything where he gave any of that money he raised back for that school he never opened but he is supposedly a voice in the Black community. He is quick to name call and show his temper which isn't a sign of an intellectual person,when they disagree with him. He even claimed that there are no gay Black people and they are taught to be gay. He just isn't someone I can follow.
Roland claims to not pay attention or care about other tv personalities , entertainers , ect , but he's made a 44min video about Dr. Umar . 2. Who has a show where you don't give the panelists topics and who's participating . 😂😂😂 yet , he doesn't speak to guests or staff before a show because he's trying to focus ? Heck , he barely let let the panelists speak on this video 😂😂😂😂
Nah, when some people are focused, they aren't concerned with/aware of those around them. I've had the same accusations made against me at work and outside of work. I wasn't even aware folks were upset.
Obviously you don't get it, when someone's trying to maligned your character, then you'll have no choice but to defend yourself....be reminded that Roland Martin isn't just involved on his show, he's also a member of other organizations...
We as black people so hurt a damage, we don’t realize the pain we all has been through. Brother Roland and Brother Umar are working to better our communities. Leave the division brothers and Sisters!
“He’s lied for 6 years” he was asked about his show for the first time and responded… you keep calling him a liar but he said “I think , I believe “ it’s called perspective of how something went
@@chitowndivaus i mean… if you watched the entire interview… you’d see that he said it’s all in the past that was 6 year ago no one is stuck on that. So nothing wrong with answering a question… you only would feel the need to react if you felt guilty.
But Roland broke it down with receipts. He has proof. You're going to ignore that? If Dr. Umarion "believes" and "thinks" something without proof it doesn't make it right because it's his perspective. We gotta stop making excuses for liars. If he thinks and believes that nonsense, he's deluded plain and simple.
Are you crazy, he just debunked Umar. I'm not gonna give him the respect of being called Dr. He ain't no doctor. He is a conman and he has conned you into believing everything he says
@princesamuels5981 Roland said he was in the Zone, and we have no reason not to believe him. Unless you know something we don't? Even still, that incident happened before the "racial epithet" situation, so how do you explain that? A conspiracy?
@@princesamuels5981 Umar is fighting for a paycheck. I followed Umar for years along with all the other "pro blacks" on RUclips and to watch these guys sell BS courses, tell people they're slaves working a 9 to 5 and constantly attack each other in the "pro black " community was enough for me to wake up and realize these guys are just grifters.

You can never get personally upset with a journalist for the questions they ask. This is literally what we fight Trump against. He throws a fit like a child when people ask him questions, he doesnt like. It doesnt matter if your white, Trump, or black you arent beyond questioning! Nobody who is real has a problem with questions.
It’s not about being asked questions. I think Dr Umar would’ve appreciated questions especially if the questions were genuine and people wanted to learn about his point of view. This was a complete ambush.
Only narcissistic people have a problem with questions... because every question is an attack to them...they feel every cry is against them...morally it's a sign of hypocrisy...and Umar's hypocrisy lies in his philosophical liberal approach to African spirituality and social unity...I honestly think most of these figures like to hear themselves speak...they really don't care about the welfare of the people...and this host clearly said...he doesn't care about umar...so see??? There really isn't any solidarity between black men who act like they care about black issues.

Doctor Umar said that it was one of the reasons. He wasn't privy to all the information that Roland has. Even Roland said that the press release on why the show got canceled was a lie🤔
If Umar had a problem with Roland, he should have addressed it to him personally right then when it happened and not make assumptions as to why Roland didn't speak to him before the show.
He's trying to convince himself 😂 my nephew was hype about him years ago, I told him what he's saying was in the books your father had when you were born in the 70's, that's not new information.
You notice he didn't mention accredited universities and colleges, all training centers, and certificate programs. All those folk use gossip as clickbait, and they know Roland's name in the title gets views.
@CynthiaSusanOrtiz And your ill logic is that "accredited" makes one more educated, of better character, more successful and just an overall better human than other humans?
The fact that he put an ALPHA PHI ALPHA shirt on to address Umar shows you what kind of black man he is 🤷🏾♂️ the kind that has to join a frat or organization to feel important or even be noticed. Dr Umar total opposite real ALPHA male that stands alone even if outnumbered and joining a frat can’t buy you that kind or real aura and presence. 💪🏽 “It gotta be in you not on you”😅 💎
Dr Umar didn’t have a problem. He thought they were both on the same team which is why he came back to the panel. Roland should be ashamed for attacking a Brother in public especially one the rides so hard for our community. The sad part is Roland’s fans are no better. They side with Roland who showed 0 receipts and disrespect someone who is openly supporting the Black community. I really don’t get it!! No other community has to lift a finger to destroy us because we do a very good job of destroying ourselves!
The true receipt is the video 5 or 6 years ago, (I forget which). Yo boy Clarence Thomas would call it "a modern day lynching". That's what RM & his cohorts attempted to do to Dr Umar.
I remember that day. It did look like the panel tried to attack Dr Umar, but he handled himself well.

I might add, if you invite someone to your show and you lay eyes on that person for the first time and you don't speak, that's rude as hell.
Sometimes ppl just don't see you if they are focused on something else honestly. I have seen it happen before, just some ppl can get real hyperfocused on what they are about to do. I think Roland explained that.
But we all need to be cordial. At least a greeting. "Hello, how are you? Thanks for coming to my show." Boom, done.

It’s all about starting the day off with positive energy. I know Roland says he has his game face on and he doesn’t speak to anyone before the show. It only takes a second to say good morning. Good Morning = Good Energy.
Lastly I have to say I support both Roland and Dr. Johnson. The reason why is because they are both on the same team fighting for their people. Both are educated with strong wills and big egos but must realize they are on the same team. This reminds me of when Malcolm X left the NOI to form his own organization. Although they had a disagreement both Malcolm’s new organization and the Nation were still on the same team fighting for their people but unfortunately it ended tragically because of ego and jealousy. Sometimes we have to set our egos and pride aside for the bigger picture.
But Roland, if someone walks by you and they are on YOUR show, you should’ve acknowledged him. It’s just respect and courtesy.
The man just came out of the bathroom. Who wants to talk to someone as soon as you walk out of the bathroom? Your ego should never be that small...
Maybe Roland wasn't paying attention to Umar? Maybe Roland mind was infact on the show. Many people stops me and ask why I didn't speak, not that I meant to ignore that person but when you're focusing on a particular thing sometimes that happens. Frfr
Umar Johnson is a jack$ss.
Absolutely my thoughts! To walk past your invite guess and no speak, was very telling. Roland was on some bullshit!
I agree. Even a warm, friendly nod would’ve sufficed. Plus it should you have manners, and is polite protocol.
I love that Umar Johnson refers to himself as "The Black Scholar."
We need more of this confidence, competence and brotherhood in our community.
He didn’t say he was the reason, he said he thinks that’s the reason. Roland, u play too much. Just say u don’t like the man but don’t try to justify this. The mood was off. Your panel was rude and in attack mode. Boy bye
As a matter of fact he said"...probably the reason..." Roland heard different and went to town to prove otherwise😅
Roland you should be able to acknowledge your guest and staff by greeting them properly without losing focus. Being focused on the show is not an excuse to be rude and unprofessional. You should be able to greet people without losing focus or is that just too much to ask?
HELLO!! Basically admitting he's an A-hole
out of control ego
Facts!
It seems that Dr Umar is implying that on all previous occasions Roland would speak to him and greet him in the very exact same scenario as this one. But on this occasion it deviated from what had previously been the norm.
Exactly! 💯💯
This shouldn't be a story unless it ends with you both making amends....Lead by example not by ratings ❤
Agreed.
Agree
I could not have said it better.
Correct.
This makes no sense. I don’t care if you don’t speak to your staff/team (which is weird); but, who invites someone to their home and doesn’t speak and acknowledge them. This is ridiculous. What type of mindset does a “prominent” newscaster have that makes them want to take this approach. He could have researched and communicated all the credentials to Dr. Umar and asked him, did I leave anything out. No, instead he puts him in a position to affirm who he is as a scholar. Journalist-look up your facts in advance. Support his accomplishments-matter of fact, you probably looked them up, so stop the game playing.
Roland: I don't care about going viral
Also Roland: book him because he went VIRAL

It’s hard to see that Roland Martin dedicated a whole show to this. I remember when Dr. Umar participated in that panel. They ALL came after Dr. Umar. It was pathetic, and he literally made them look like fools.
No he didn't but if you want to believe that it's fine😅😅😅😅

Sir you are not 🚫 going to get credit for trying to discredit another brother on your show,
This guy done nothing for the black community,he is not relevant,he got his feelings hurt 😢.you are not half the man dr.umar is..
They love their democrat plantation party owners, as they're bought and paid for.
It is healthy for the community to see people show common courtesy and greet any person who visits your show. If the person is important enough to be on the show, they are important enough to speak to when you see them in the building.
Nope, part of systemic brainwashing...bite that and see why it's good to appease people of color or being kind, polite and respectful are brainwashing techniques....Synthesize people wake up, retrain your brain , take control....
Exactly ...Roland not speaking to umar was rude.. and shows a sign of arrogance.
I think as you walked by Umar and didn't acknowledge Umar's presence, it tells a lot about you. Umar is important, and ignoring him seems like you have issues with him.

That’s rude to not speak to your guest! So you started it!!
You're focused on the wrong thing.
But hadn't Umar already done the show 2 or 3 times before? Isn't that what Umar said? Did Roland speak to Umar before the show any of those times?
Regardless, you don’t invite a guest to your home, but make them sit on the porch. Mr. Martin was rude…
"Unity" Ya dig! No one is so marvelous that they can't be courteous to their guests.
The last gentleman speaking is 100% correct and he is very professional and speaking reason. Now, I definitely understand busy. But May i state a fact, Roland, when Dr Umar stated you did not speak to him and you responded, i am getting ready for a show, i don't even speak to staff. I cannot believe you won't take a second to say hello, regardless if you're preparing for a show, its "hello" Staff is setting things up for you, what about appreciation. It shows your Heart. I am an Executive Officer who has worked with millionaires and they don't speak, and feel like they should have special treatment. But i refuse to allow such people to mistreat me or others if i see it. God bless everyone KayInspirer
That's my sediment exactly regarding not speaking.

That's why Roland was ca celled.. sounds likexhez pandering. Kudo to Dr. Umar...Roland bye...😅😅😅
It wasn't BS. I was so excited to see that interview because I love Umar. And I was like why they coming for Umar? And why black folks such champions for interracial dating. Anyway. At first I felt for Umar, then I was like Dr. Umar is handling these negros! He earned more points with me after this interview with Roland.
Lmao so you like scammers? Where's that school at?
Yes
@@ryandixon7604 the school is built now. He’s doing last minute alterations to it.

Haha I thought that too.
Like ok, Umar's full of it, but dag - you gotta say hi to people. 😂e
Umar apparently spoke truth
Good point. You should greet folks when you see them.
I agree. Don’t be so stuck up that you can’t at least greet your guest. Because without them, you don’t have a show
Before I retired, I did that all the time. Why? I'm not a morning person and that time of day bugged the shit out of me. I told people not to talk to me before I've had my 1st couple cups of coffee. THEY understood. Not sure why you don't. Roland might've been deep in thought too, and didn't even see Umar. I didn't see people either, early in the morning. I ran from those perky, "Good morning," folks. Takes me a while to get my motor running, then I was bothering people who were winding down when I was winding up. We would laugh & laugh about my hyper ass in the afternoon hours. I'll never forget this one guy who would groan when he saw me coming in the afternoon. I'd run up to him and say HEY all loud. He said consistently that he couldn't stand my ass. I LAUGHED, which made him laugh too!!
That generation of people takes things too seriously and need to lighten up. Grow a pair. Don't be so fragile. You don't know what's going on in someone's head. How about ask before you assume anything????
Roland “ when someone lie publicly., they be corrected publicly “. - everybody correct Roland publicly.Go!
it’s not his “lie” Roland. He’s was asked a question and he gave his opinionated interpretation.
So as Kellyanne Conway say " he gave alternative fact". He's a fake and I would never classify him as a leader, go sitdown Umar please sir
Opinionated interpretation …..alternative facts ….Americans are something else 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
that isn't remotely analogous. Roland is responding to Dr. Umar's opinion of what the beef is about. Roland and Umar are not dealing in fact...not hard to believe given feelings are involved.
@@damnthisuser Absolutely
Another problem in our community is the inability to eradicate confusion amongst our brotherhood/sistarhood, and how valuable we are to each other. It's disappointing to hear him say Umar means nothing to him. This is what continues to drive the division within our communities. Roland says he hates drama, but he's continuing to through fuel and coals on this fire instead of coming with an extinguisher.
Shut up you are not Black..
That's because Roland is not whom he claim to be. Your true identity will show-up sooner or later no doubt about it.

@racistsbegone7215 When you say you don't care what folks say about you. That usually means you move on. Roland's panel should not be in the middle of this so called beef between Umar and Roland. It doesn't look professional, and it's a waste of your panels time. Roland has been in the game for a while. He should no better. Not to get caught up in foolishness.
Wrong. He's setting the record straight.
I saw the show on TV One, live and it was definitely a setup to ambush, embarrass and discredit Dr Umar on national television. They were gunning for him, and it seemed his stance on IR relationships was particularly triggering for them. In fact, I believe they were directed to do so. That's why he didn't greet him backstage as he looked right at him. It definitely got the show canceled, but we are not going to pretend it wasn't a hostile environment.
I started viewing Roland Martin differently after that. He should be on board with Umar not against him.
@@xxvolution me too. he kind of exposed himself as being exactly what umar calls him, a democratic plantation "slave". he's only allowed to be a little extreme, and a little revolutionary and not cross boundaries.
All of them no him & his point of views & he knows them. It was going to be hot no matter what🤷🏽♀️🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
VERY HOSTILE AND EVIL ENVIRONMENT...RECORDINGS DO NOT LIE, BUT PEOPLE DO. EVEN AMID RECEIPTS. I KNOW I SAW HIM DISRESPECT A WOMAN SPEAKING ABOUT 'PLANNED PARENTHOOD' AND IT WAS AWFUL...SHE COULD NOT GET A WORD OUT FROM HIS 'NAPELEON EPISODES'...IT WAS SO STRANGE. JUST YELLING AND CARRYING ON...I THOUGHT HE WAS HAVING A MELTDOWN...THEN I SAW OTHER RECORDINGS...IT IS JUST HIS WAY. DESTRUCTIVE...I BET HIS PANEL IS AFRAID OF HIS TAUNTS. SADLY SO. MIGHT BE TRUE.
Something about Dr. Umar Johnson doesn't sit right with my spirit.
Roland! I’m a fan of yours, but your first response proved that part of what Dr Umar stated is correct. Theirs nothing wrong with speaking with a guest before the show starts. It takes less than 5 seconds to say hello. Especially when you walk right past someone in a hole hallway . Dude you wrong for that for real. Umar has a point bro and I don’t care who says I’m wrong. Man I’m a black man and I’m tired of seeing black men fight against each other instead of coming together and helping each other succeed.
The problem is most of us are either for sale. I watched that show and it was very uncomfortable the way they treated that man with hostility they don’t even show bigots. And yet I still haven’t seen Dr Umar talk about Roland in the manner Roland talks about him. These ninjas ain’t 💩 🤦🏾♂️. You can tell this was personal from the start.

Why are you focusing on him. You both are representing and wanting to help Black ppl. Dr. Umar is standing much taller than you right now. This is ridiculous.
Roland Martin- “you mean NOTHING to me”
Roland Martin- invite Dr. Umar on your show FOUR TIMES!!!
Just because you invite someone on the show doesn't mean you care about them or their thoughts it just means it adds variety to your show it's important to have different and interesting perspectives. I personally think Umar is a joke ...when he tries to purposely pretend he is giving a sermon. ANNOYING!!!
Secondly him sucking up to Tump makes me 🤮. Some people would suck up to Hitler if they are selfish AND think they can personally be bestowed some gift from the hateful loser. He is willing to kiss the ring.
Umar think he is so important but he is a fake bore puffing up as tho a leader when he is a nobody w few hundred followers who can't see thru him like I do.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Preach
😂😂
So you think every talk show host cares about every guest they have on their show? They bring on people and discuss topics that are trending. It's not personal.
I saw the show. It was an ambush and you DID set him up !
Even if he thought it was a set up he could've left, but he didn't have to call the brother a Co*n, and that is a fact. Being called a liar is wayyyyyy different then being called a Co*n. One is an action of a person and the other is shaming a person. just saying.🙏🙏
I'm glad Roland said that. What I get from Umar most the time is narcissism. He literally said he's the smartest scholar. I'm like bro come on... stop it lol.

The dude called Dr. Umar a liar. At the end of the day Roland and Dr. Umar are two brilliant minds. I hope they make amends. ✊💯
Also folks proceeds to say umar is a scam’ so why hasn’t THE FBI GOT involved if he was truly a scammer
Yes, I hate it when the brothers go publicly tarishing each other, however; I did notice from day one that Rowland does not care too much for Urmar. And, I like both brothers dearly!
I wouldn’t consider Dr Umar a “brilliant mind”. He’s articulate but he says a lot of falsehoods and projecting his personal agenda as facts. He’s a scammer.
Some calls you a liar, you don't in turn use racial epithets back as an insult. He needed to be checked. I was with Umar until that part.
Brilliant Minds?

You were rude to Dr. Umar as a guest on your show.
And he needs to publicly apologize
Image has never had a contentious debate at the breakfast club. It’s always been respectful. You gotta stop lying to help your point, Roland.
Being fair Roland, a couple of your guests were very disrespectful to the brother and the whole thing of questioning his scholarship was just petty. You can disagree with the brother (I disagree with alot that he says) ,but why did you all feel the need to attack his scholarship when you could have easily verified that before he got there.
I like Roland but I believe in being fair, I watched the interview in question before this whole thing with the Joe Budden podcast, and I did feel Roland's dislike for Umar during that interview. To me Roland's hostility towards Umar was obvious.
😢this is exactly what the enemy wants you to do. Just put a STOP to this and go ahead with the liberation message.

I remember watching that interview and really anyone that did could only come away with the idea that Roland treated it like a hostile interview.

I don't know why Roland came in hot like that but there is no denying what happened.

Roland is not a leader
On a side note, it's amazing how black people always want to make BM "show their papers" before we can validate them or give credence to their message, stature or agenda, but we don't always offer the same rigorous examination when the person asking for our money or compliance to their offer of leadership is non-black or a BW. I don't even like Dr. Umar, btw, but he's still a BM and gets treated by the community as consistently as other BM. Even Obama went through this by us. We had to examine him to a T first before we could throw our support behind him, but Bill can play a saxophone on the Arsenio Hall show or Hillary can talk about how she "keeps me some hot sauce in my purse" and we're all behind them.
FACTZZZZZ ... makes me sick
It is shameful at best the level of pettiness, and disrespect that we level toward each other. The fact remains, we have no power...For those of you who falsely think that voting for a party that clearly has DISDAIN for your people while overwhelmingly voting for the other party that ONLY offers small morsels of stale meat and of course a few appointment of "black faces in high places." For those who may think that we have the freedom to wantonly and foolishly spend our hard earned dollars with others only to be disrespected in their place of establishment and think that is wise...For those of you who think that it is wise and are ONLY content to vote these no good politicians into office but do not get any thing tangible in return, but a sound of "I feel your pain" and/or I am sorry...While others get billions. I am sorry to say that way of thinking is beyond SHEER STUPIDITY. I can only ask these questions: When, when will we ever, ever learn? When, when are going to have respect and love for one another? When, when are we going to hold these no good politicians accountable? PERHAPS NEVER. We are too busy engaging in petty nonsense and disrespecting one another.

I've never read anything where he gave any of that money he raised back for that school he never opened but he is supposedly a voice in the Black community. He is quick to name call and show his temper which isn't a sign of an intellectual person,when they disagree with him. He even claimed that there are no gay Black people and they are taught to be gay. He just isn't someone I can follow.
He is
@@Ron-ep3zl He never said because they wouldn't "work for free" you're changing his words...
Roland claims to not pay attention or care about other tv personalities , entertainers , ect , but he's made a 44min video about Dr. Umar . 2. Who has a show where you don't give the panelists topics and who's participating . 😂😂😂 yet , he doesn't speak to guests or staff before a show because he's trying to focus ? Heck , he barely let let the panelists speak on this video 😂😂😂😂
Nah, when some people are focused, they aren't concerned with/aware of those around them. I've had the same accusations made against me at work and outside of work. I wasn't even aware folks were upset.
Umar Johnson is an idiot!! Don't get sucked into his BS!
YOU support a deadbeat daddy scammer because that’s your culture.
Obviously you don't get it, when someone's trying to maligned your character, then you'll have no choice but to defend yourself....be reminded that Roland Martin isn't just involved on his show, he's also a member of other organizations...
A certification is not the same as a degree!
We as black people so hurt a damage, we don’t realize the pain we all has been through. Brother Roland and Brother Umar are working to better our communities. Leave the division brothers and Sisters!
“He’s lied for 6 years” he was asked about his show for the first time and responded… you keep calling him a liar but he said “I think , I believe “ it’s called perspective of how something went
Umar is a liar / Con-man
Just because you're being interviewed doesn't mean you need to answer every question--especially about an incident that happened 6 years ago.
@@chitowndivaus i mean… if you watched the entire interview… you’d see that he said it’s all in the past that was 6 year ago no one is stuck on that. So nothing wrong with answering a question… you only would feel the need to react if you felt guilty.
But Roland broke it down with receipts. He has proof. You're going to ignore that? If Dr. Umarion "believes" and "thinks" something without proof it doesn't make it right because it's his perspective. We gotta stop making excuses for liars. If he thinks and believes that nonsense, he's deluded plain and simple.
umar is a fraud ffs
He didn't say anything so crazy that you need a 44min segment. It was from his perspective.
EXACTLY...and no lies!
It's because Roland is passionate about when ppl lie about what he says or does!
@@mrjtcherry7596Lots of lies.
@@jaxcoss5790 ROLAND MARTIN IS THE BIGGEST LIAR OF ALL
@@martasplace6414 U r a blind fool following a blind fool!
Im not a Dr Umar fan but Dr Umar was right in his Joe Button podcast. Umar told no lie, Roland confirming everything Dr Umar said
Are you crazy, he just debunked Umar. I'm not gonna give him the respect of being called Dr. He ain't no doctor. He is a conman and he has conned you into believing everything he says
Are u black? If so how u not a fan of a guy who is for black ppl
Now I understand why you go kick off the cnn
At the end of the day, Roland didn't start this, so it's not up to him to squash the beef. Providing receipts is all that's needed on his end
So walking past your guest is a display of making your guest comfortable’ WoW anything to go against a man for fights for black folk
@princesamuels5981 Roland said he was in the Zone, and we have no reason not to believe him. Unless you know something we don't? Even still, that incident happened before the "racial epithet" situation, so how do you explain that? A conspiracy?
And his receipts proved nothing.
@@princesamuels5981 Umar is fighting for a paycheck. I followed Umar for years along with all the other "pro blacks" on RUclips and to watch these guys sell BS courses, tell people they're slaves working a 9 to 5 and constantly attack each other in the "pro black " community was enough for me to wake up and realize these guys are just grifters.
Lop what receipts. Like I'm deadass confused. All roland did was attack dr umars opinions. Umar clearly said "I think" before saying his experience. And for anyone who watches that interview it lines up exactly with what umar is saying
The brother nailed it. It is not healthy for the community.
For any community
@@donjackson4563 This conversation isn't about just any community. Try to focus.
Roland only cares about people who agree with him no matter what.
@@onceagain6184 Troll.
@@marlenestewart7772 Troll? Is that your last name or what you do for a living?
All those degrees means nothing if a person cant communicate intelligently.
👍
You need to at least listen to a few of Dr. Umar's speeches then. He gives alot to at least think about.
@@Mr_Joseph979Umar is A Fool, the way he talks about Black Ppls is shameful👈Who authorized him to tell Ppls who they can love or marry👈He just like a GOP member, nothing but a Loud Mouth & Lies👈
Dr Umar can't???? What are you morons smoking?
Sounds like he has six "certifications" 🤔
I stand with dr umar
2 intelligent brothers Roland and Dr. Umar going back and forth with each other over nothing
I believe Dr. Umar Johnson is more intelligent because he's a real Doctor with a degree and Roland is just a plain journalist.
@@georgepapsukkal4392 What??? Are you kidding? Roland Martin has a degree!! He is a college educated man who is brilliant and always learning. Umar is not as smart as Roland Martin. Not even close!!!🤔
For Roland to be unborthered, he sure is breaking down every single word Dr. Umar said. Seems a little bothered.
Wasnt Umar sitting on somebody couch giving his grievances??? Oh thats right yall dont pay attention and this was done how many years ago? And who blocked him?
@@everretchancellor2243 Did Dr. Umar say he wasn't bothered by Roland?
Receipts
@@alexmotley1074 a document generated describing items purchased; also, it includes taxes and how items were purchased.
Right! He sure does look bothered!
You can never get personally upset with a journalist for the questions they ask. This is literally what we fight Trump against. He throws a fit like a child when people ask him questions, he doesnt like. It doesnt matter if your white, Trump, or black you arent beyond questioning! Nobody who is real has a problem with questions.
It’s not about being asked questions. I think Dr Umar would’ve appreciated questions especially if the questions were genuine and people wanted to learn about his point of view. This was a complete ambush.
What has Trump got to do with this? You people dream about Trump in your sleep and you are obsessed with Trump,get a life.
I guess Umar thought the panel would hear his words and just nod their heads in agreement.
Only narcissistic people have a problem with questions... because every question is an attack to them...they feel every cry is against them...morally it's a sign of hypocrisy...and Umar's hypocrisy lies in his philosophical liberal approach to African spirituality and social unity...I honestly think most of these figures like to hear themselves speak...they really don't care about the welfare of the people...and this host clearly said...he doesn't care about umar...so see??? There really isn't any solidarity between black men who act like they care about black issues.
@@godsownson2469 because he's exactly the type of people who Trump represents racists trying to be happy being racist but also trying to sound nice at the same time. And if you can't see he's racist AF then you are part of the racism problem yourself!
What’s up with being divided. Malcolm said let’s go behind closed doors and discuss our differences. “Why can we just get along” enough
Now I do believe that Umar was too zealous in thinking that he was the reason why the show got cancelled. That's ego hilarious!🤣
Doctor Umar said that it was one of the reasons. He wasn't privy to all the information that Roland has. Even Roland said that the press release on why the show got canceled was a lie🤔
If you listen to what dr Umar said, he says his appearance on the show is probably what got it cancelled. He never it was actually the reason.
@@shamarrich1636and that is A LIE
If Umar had a problem with Roland, he should have addressed it to him personally right then when it happened and not make assumptions as to why Roland didn't speak to him before the show.
@@rolandsmartinso why did your shows get canceled? Because you're barking at Umar on RUclips, not CNN or TVOne. 😂😂😂😂
How many times did he called himself a "Black Scholar" who is he trying to convince..
Himself
He's trying to convince himself 😂 my nephew was hype about him years ago, I told him what he's saying was in the books your father had when you were born in the 70's, that's not new information.
You notice he didn't mention accredited universities and colleges, all training centers, and certificate programs. All those folk use gossip as clickbait, and they know Roland's name in the title gets views.
@CynthiaSusanOrtiz And your ill logic is that "accredited" makes one more educated, of better character, more successful and just an overall better human than other humans?
Well he is definitely a scholar and well credentialed. Who are these people so obsessed if Dr Umar has college degrees(6)???
The fact that he put an ALPHA PHI ALPHA shirt on to address Umar shows you what kind of black man he is 🤷🏾♂️ the kind that has to join a frat or organization to feel important or even be noticed. Dr Umar total opposite real ALPHA male that stands alone even if outnumbered and joining a frat can’t buy you that kind or real aura and presence. 💪🏽 “It gotta be in you not on you”😅 💎
😂😂😂 the kind that gravitate, honor and reverence Greek idols and dismiss His bloodline brother
Talk Heavy!! 💯
These are not receipts. I pray the two of you can resolve whatever issues remain. Both of your voices are essential for our community.
Ego is the problem
Dr Umar didn’t have a problem. He thought they were both on the same team which is why he came back to the panel. Roland should be ashamed for attacking a Brother in public especially one the rides so hard for our community. The sad part is Roland’s fans are no better. They side with Roland who showed 0 receipts and disrespect someone who is openly supporting the Black community. I really don’t get it!! No other community has to lift a finger to destroy us because we do a very good job of destroying ourselves!
Roland’s voice is not essential for the community.
Both?
The true receipt is the video 5 or 6 years ago, (I forget which). Yo boy Clarence Thomas would call it "a modern day lynching". That's what RM & his cohorts attempted to do to Dr Umar.
