Where's The Outrage Over Roland Martin's Suspension?

*Last week, the Susan G. Komen Foundation announced that they would stop funding Planned Parenthood.
But their donors organized and complained so much that the Foundation reversed their decision.

*Late last week, the Obama administration announced that it would not allow religiously affiliated employers, such as universities and hospitals to deny full birth control coverage to women they employ.
(In other words pay for their contraceptives.)
But the Catholic church (lead by mis-guided bishops) organized and complained so much that now, the President is considering reversing or adjusting that bill.

*During the Super Bowl, Roland Martin sent out this tweet after a commercial aired featuring soccer star David Beckham modeling in his new line of men's underwear.

 If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham's H&M underwear ad, smack the ish out of him! #superbowl

 

Afterwards, gay rights groups organized and complained to CNN that Roland's tweet was "insensitive".

Today, Roland Martin was suspended by CNN.

 

My point:

Women (mostly white) will organize and complain to get something they want done.

Religious groups (mostly white) will organize and complain to get something they want done.

Gay and Lesbian groups will organize and complain to get something they want done.

Why is it that black people won't do the same?

 

Can you imagine what would happen if we decided to organize and complain?

Can you imagine the amount of racist rhetoric we could eliminate about our President if we organized and complained to remove certain radio and television personlities?

Can you imagine how much we could change the perception of black people if we organized and complained AND demanded that certain networks stop producing shows that portray our women as golddigging, classless whores?

Can you imagine?

 

Probably not...........

Because while other groups and races are concerned about issues that affect their communities, we're more concerned about issues that affect us individually!

Oh, sure we will organize and complain to get our favorite show back on televsion (see The Game), but we won't organize or complain about anything else.

That may explain why there's no outrage over the suspension of one of the very few voices we have on television-Roland Martin.
