Roland Rips Atlantic Editor discussing Only White Males Can Write 10,000-Word Cover Stories

Atlantic Magazine Editor in Chief Jeffrey Goldberg is being ripped to shreds on social media as a result of his about who can and cannot write long form features.

Goldberg was discussing the issue of diversity in magazine writing and said this: "It's really, really hard to write a 10,000-word cover story. There are not a lot of journalists in America who can do it. The journalists in America who do it are almost exclusively white males."

During Thursday's edition of #RolandMartinUnfiltered, Roland had some strong words for the Atlantic Magazine editor and challenged him lead. Roland explained Goldberg should have the "balls" to assign a woman or African American writer a cover story in an effort to develop the next crop of long-form feature writers.

Roland closed his sharp commentary by telling Goldberg "learn how to be a damn leader and change the game — poop or get off the pot."
