45:03Now PlayingRoland slams Ezra Klein, Ben Shapiro for discussion on Obama, race and racist Republicans
Roland Martin directly confronts the dishonest narratives pushed by Ezra Klein and Ben Shapiro around President Barack Obama, race, and the reaction of racist Republicans. He highlights how white backlash has always followed Black progress, with Obama’s presidency serving as clear proof of this historical pattern. From media fantasies about a “post-racial America” to resentment over Obama’s willingness to tell the truth about America’s racist history, Roland underscores the raw hypocrisy at play. The discussion makes clear that Trump’s rise was rooted in the same backlash against Obama and the progress he represented.
🔥 Roland calls out Ezra Klein and Ben Shapiro’s distortion of Obama’s presidency
🔥 “White backlash always follows Black progress — Obama proved it”
🔥 Post-racial America was a lie — a white media fantasy, not Black reality
🔥 Trump’s rise exposed the backlash rooted in resentment of Obama’s truth-telling
