Only reason he said he's not political is because he can't win this debate.. Hence, he went all the way to God.. In his head he's just thnkn "Roland can't beat God in a debate".. 🤣😆
Yeah, Whitlock is confusing. I will say this however. He has a right to decide for himself if he wants to vote or not. Roland brought up MLK. MLK did not die for us to vote for rotten politicians who ain't gonna do shit for the black community. As a citizen in this country ain't nobody- Roland included- going to force me to vote against my own interests. And with the last election, neither the wicked witch from the East, nor the Great Pumpkin had my best interests in mind. So yes, I didn't participate.
I remember back in the day when people used to say that men (husbands/fathers) belong on the street to hit the pavement and bring home the bacon while the women were the ones who were supposed to stay at home with the kids. This was the conservative position. Now we're changing the goal post.

Greetings, @williamsmith1808. You are correct. We must do something. The Texas in me says, we can trust in man's mutable, legislative laws of the land until the cows come home, but unless and until we skillfully use the KINGDOM WEAPONS to engage the POWER OF OUR TONGUE; by superimposing the immutable, spiritual laws of God's kingdom over the laws of the land, the gates of hell will not be moved. Satan and the demonic host ARE NOT subject to the laws of mankind. So, what must we do. Some will run with the political vision of the democratic platform; some will run with the political vision of the republican platform.

The problem is voters are voting for their choice of candidates; irrespective of the political policies (VISION) of the political platform with which they are are choosing to run.
He is 100% right. He is also 100% wrong when he pretends like there is no problem when American citizens get pulled over and wind up dead rather than being arrested. Two things can always be true at the same time but as soon as Jason is confronted with the truth that goes against his political agenda he changes the subject.
@@buckseedamerica2743 you can always find the exceptions but it’s not the majority and it’s certainly making it HARDER on those kids. It’s hard enough with two parents. It’s no coincidence that we’re seeing the results of a nation where the family isn’t as revered today as it was 30-40 years ago. Especially in the black community. You can deny this all you want, but it wasn’t always like this.
Both are correct in that the black family is broken. We as a people have forgotten to train our kids to be respectable men and women. We allow television, movie stars, rap artist, sports etc..shape ourselves as well as our children. On the other hand, Jason needs a reality check. African Americans must continue the struggle to be come respected in this country. That means voting!

Jason makes sense. Roland is speaking as if he doesn't understand or acknowledge his own success. Who does he claim he's speaking for? Not himself, for sure.
Jason is always on point. Unfortunately a majority of Black Americans have been blinded and lied to for so long that they don't realize the truth anymore.
@@will8953 Listen to Jason with an open mind and leave your biases aside and you'll realize how right he is for the most part. I used to disagree vehemently with him until I started to realize that some of what be says made sense.

Your right, and I would love to see black people separate from the church. These church tell people how to vote and create tunnel vision. Look at Evangelical, they care more about abortion that the air they breathe or where there tax dollars are spent.
There needs to be more Black entrepreneurs and innovators and workers coming from STEM fields. That would establish a firm foundation for solid economic growth and being the actual architects of the community. It won't matter who's in power.
@@bad444 see that's one of the issues church is the foundation the people church is the foundation now I'm not saying that all churches are right I send that all leaders all right but the point of matter is still to get together to gather to worship God is the greatest and finest thing you can do I personally believe that there should be a separation between politics and the church because politics is such a dirty business and the Bible says you can't serve two masters you going to end up making a decision that goes against morality and goes against the laws so to say that you want more black people separate from the church that's the last thing we should do are you what's going on right now they're attacking our children from a moral standpoint the politicians are these organizations are but then you want them to stay away from church before you get your strength from well correction God is where you get your strength from but he also says do not forsake corporate worship
The next question I would ask Jason is, "when does it become necessary to get involved in politics? How many rights do politicians have to take away before you'll decide that it's worth voting? "
Jason is 100% correct and this is a message that needs to be talked about more. The civil rights work is important but the spot light is always in that and politics. Screw whoever is in office and go get the bag. We got good people fighting the good fight
Christian Soldier you sound fucking dumb they enslaved people with bible scriptures dickhead wtf are you talking about that Christianity shit been flipped and switch so many times you got white pastors saying they won’t marry interracial couples??? So what are you saying?? I was waiting for one of you clowns drunk on Jesus juice to step up let me know if you wanna keep going I’ll embarrass you today
Kareem Gray the ONLY reason Christianity was able to be used to enforce slavery, was because WE COULDN’T READ. Before you start throwing sand on Christianity and using slavery to discredit Christianity; actually pick up a Book and study the FULL subject. There’s a reason why it was illegal for blacks to know how to read and especially know how to read the Bible. White people didn’t want us to know how to read the Bible, because biblical characters were dark skin human beings just like us. Jesus was a Dark skinned (most likely black). Adam and Eve were black. The garden of eve has been proven biblically to be located in Africa. You “woke” people are so damn ignorant, it makes NO sense. You just spout random bullshit and like to present it as facts
Kenneth Dunn so basically you telling me in Africa before we was enslaved we didn’t have our own language? Did we speak English? Did we read in our own dialect? Ask yourself these questions black peoples existence didn’t start when slavery did im sorry you didn’t know that we have a history before we was slaves because of that book called the Bible that those white people from Roman times been trying to get the world to believe in what they believe in do your research because all you wanna do is defend fairy tales you don’t know what you believe in you believe what you been told so you pick up a book clown
Kareem Gray, what book have you picked up? Can you actually quote from one, or are you like Trump and Kanye West, all talk and suffer from a serious allergic reaction whenever you've touched a book? Cause if you actually read "the book," or studied it, you'd know people of African descent wrote some of the books in the bible, Africans helped created it, Africans and African culture are featured prominently in it, and Jesus even spoke Aramaic, a language with heavy African roots. To attack Kenneth Dunn as if he didn't know "we" have a history before slaves, when clearly he understand the African presence in the bible (and the history in the bible is thousands of years before slavery in America)....makes you look incredibly ignorant. Better to have someone think you are a fool, but not really know, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt!
Kareem Gray I am a Christian & it’s a blow to my heart when there are debates about Jesus & the Bible. So, if I could for a moment challenge you to ponder these thoughts for a moment. If God The Father & Jesus The Son does not exist who created the first humans(male & female) fully equipped with every organ necessary to procreate generations of ppl that came before us so that we may exist. There’s not a human traceable back in history that gives clear evidence that they A. Created themselves thus B. Made it possible that we would be created millennium, centennials & decades later. The second thing I would respectfully ask that you would consider is, if you were a betting man & you heard the “fairy tale” of a man name Jesus & the alternative Satan. In that “fairy tale” 2 places were vividly described & explained as Heaven & Hell & all that each offered your soul after you died. Life, joy, peace & so much more everlasting or eternal burning & all that was required for everlasting was acknowledging(confessing) your wrongs(sin) asking forgiveness from God(The Creator) & allowing Him in your heart. Would you really want to take the risk, bet on your life(eternal) die & discover that it was all true but it’s too late for you & burning for an eternity is now your fate? My prayer for you sir is that you choose everlasting before it’s too late, for no man knows the hour which will be our last!!
As a black man in America I feel I must vote simply because too many people DIED (both black and white) so I would have the right to do so! You don't have to believe in either side of this debate, or the institution of politics AT ALL to go out and vote! I have literally gone to the polls and written myself in on the ballot and voted FOR MYSELF (yes, you can do that) because I feel an obligation to do so. That is my rationale behind why I primarily vote in America!!!
Y'all are having two different conversations. One is taking about the benefit of politics and the other is taking about dependency on politicians and politics or an obsession.
T Johnson You just don’t understand the perspective he’s speaking from bro. And I mean that with no disrespect. Nothing but love coming from this direction. But he’s talking about a real issue that’s going on in this society with our people. Politicians don’t care about us. This land is not our rest. We shouldn’t be fighting for “equality”. We should be fighting for rulership
@@tyhubb804 I already read the bible! It's full of shit! The white man's control book! Why the hell is it so many bibles?! That shit felt funny even as a kid learning that crap! The people who made the mothafuckin bibles don't follow it, it's for us to follow! Better wake up! Christianity in its entirety is false! Branched off from catholics, practiced witchcraft, and demonic shit! Sacrifices, drinking baby blood, drinking adult blood! Look it up! All religion you find today is false!
These idiots don’t get it..... even if let’s say hypothetically black people ain’t vote in this election (and I really mean not go cast 1 fuckin ballot ) see who they give us and if it get better or worse😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Asians are heavily involved in politics on a local level. Nationwide, Asians are a noticeable minority (5%), but in many metropolitan cities like New York, L.A. San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, Detroit, Minneapolis-St. Paul, etc. they are an economic and political powerhouse.
Michael Cooper can you count? Does the word minority mean anything to you? Blacks don't have the economy or the numbers en mass to make sustainable changes.
Also, they get the system. America doesn’t reward the uneducated. Like it or not. They acquire college degrees at much higher rates than other minority groups and are much more likely to obtain STEM degrees than other minority college students. In other words, they go into careers that pay well. So, their economic power is immense relative to other demographic groups. That’s the route that black people as a group have not taken and need to in order to combat the forces against us.
Martin, was extremely awful during in this interview. Jason really exposed Martin with facts! Roland is so blinded by the racist policies of the Democratic Party hat he can’t listen!
I can't believe I agree with Whitlock on this 1 issue. His basic point was each individual can be victorious living a spirit filled life. That's facts.
Well said! How do you look to be save, by same God your oppressor pray to? The slave is praying for deliverance, while the slave owner is praying that the slave doesn't rise up against him. And all of this to the same God?
Blacks were making tremendous strides in the face of utmost adversity prior to the 60s. Everything started going downhill since blacks started depending on the govt. Yes it helps to change the laws and enact new ones, but black Americans have lost sight of their values
Jason, we are living on Earth and not in heaven. One can still be religious and interested in politics. Politics exists and affects people even in theocratic states and the United States is a secular state and definitely people residing in such states will be affected.
I hate to say this, but Jason made some valid points about black people acting in our own self interest, the breakdown of the family and black people needing to come back to YAH...
Wrong, politics creates policy, policy affects families, there are way more variables at play than personal choice, and who cares aboyt white families, we're talking about saving ourselves, let them deal with their own issues
You don't have to agree with the man but why would you say that someone is wasting their time from hearing a different black man's perspective I remember rolling Martin letting a woman call another black man a liar and she did not correct her so black people need to stop acting like white people they need to stop thinking that we're all the same because we're not and we have different perspective different opinions I happen to agree with Whitlock we have gotten away from God we have spent most of our time on politics and if you look at the laws that are on the books now they're immoral the word father husband and wife are actually in the Bible so now they're talking about getting rid of the word father and mother or the term father and mother so he's right he's politicians are dishonest
It's hard to separate politics from real life that we experience every day. So it's hard to imagine that any person in any job or field could or should be non-political.
I'm non-political; it's not that hard when you're focused on providing for yourself and your family. Most people focus on the drama of politics instead of the actual laws. If you know the laws of the land and the words of the Most High, you will be able to operate successfully in life without getting caught up in the political game.
Roland, I don’t know how you did that interview without slapping the crap out of Whitlock. More power to you Roland. Whitlock has no solutions. He just wants to criticize everything.
It's a hilarious to watch this. People literally don't have the skills of listening anymore. Whether you agree with Whitlock or not Roland did not actually take time to listen to Jason.
Politics is very important but Jason is spot on and I don’t understand how Roland can only keep defending his position but not acknowledge the demise of the black family and moral structure.
@@boutwhatever7520 But politics do factor in disproportionate sentencing, mandatory minimums for minor offenses, access to homeownership (see redlining), voting eligibility, and access to entrepreneurship (see felons that can't open legal weed shops after being convicted for years for drug possession). I agree that politics don't make decisions for people, but it sure can dictate the number of decisions some people have and the amount of options they have after a mistake.
@anthony giardina How is redlining avoidable when that's literally a racist and bigoted, segregationist action? You're assuming an equal playing field in a country where that's never been the case. Studies have been done, proving that positive decision making doesn't equal the same result. What you're describing is wishful thinking that many African Americans don't have the privilege to indulge in a country that has actively oppressed them for 100+ years post-slavery. You do realize we are still less than 60 years removed from Jim Crow, right? The effects of that don't disappear in two generations.
Jason, faith without works is dead. I get what you're saying about getting back to God and keeping him the focal point in our community and family but the Bible tells us that we have to do some leg work. If you're praying to God and asking for more opportunities or a better way of life or just to simply make it through...yes, you can have the faith but it takes an effort on your part to go out and try to make your situation better with God's help. It makes no sense to pray to God for a car and you don't even have a drivers license ... or you're praying for a job and instead of filling out applications or sending in resumes, you sit at home playing Playstation or watching soap operas. In order for us to see the change we want in the Black community we have get involved and make our voices heard politically and with God's help we'll make it.
I really appreciate you Roland when you are in enlighten mode like your interview with MK but the civil but argumentative side or persona always leave me wanting the enlightening RM.
Whitlock is awesome. He cuts through the nonsense and keeps it simple. He's saying as long as the single motherhood rate continues to be horrifyingly high the black community is gonna be a mess.
BlackMagic553 This guy Whitlock is a str8 fool and very irresponsible he has a platform with millions of viewers. His opinion doesn’t matter our people need Facts.
Whitlock MORE than held his own..... Brother is cool, calm, and articulate, and made some damn good points.... I think Roland’s heart is in the right place, but he came off as a little too overbearing and emotional to me
FREEDOM means I have the FREE will to vote or to NOT vote..my ancestors did not die for my right to pick the best white person to "lead" me and SELL me the best set of lies.. .... and just because I don't vote don't mean that's a vote for the person YOU did not vote for... what kind of LOGIC is that??.... NO we need better POLITICIANS who WORK for the people and CONTINUE to work and have their presence seen and felt more than just an election cycle.....I don't even listen to the slave based shame game and insults.. I laugh at them.. good try
@@edubbs5556 was the last election RIGGED by Russia??did the LOSER have 3 MILLION more votes than the winner ??.. did those 3 million more votes matter ??... when you get done answering those, we can go back and talk about al gore
Felix Donnell All great questions for which many people who believe and trust the voting process never has a satisfying answer. In 2016, Donald trump received 304 electoral votes while Hillary received 227. So, essentially, the US election system was established in a manner where 304 votes from REGULAR CITIZENS (labeled “electoral college”) can outvote or defeat 3,000,000 more ballots from REGULAR CITIZENS. That’s ridiculous. What kind of math is being employed here? Then those same people would berate a non-participant for refusing to be civically engaged. However, I posed this thought provoking question, “If I would have voted for Clinton, should would have exceeded Trump’s votes by 3,000,000 and 1, do you really believe she would have won the election then? Truth is Hillary could have received 10 million more votes than Donald and still lost the election due to the electoral college rigged system. Russia did not rig the election. The founding father’s did.
@@fabiancortez2256 ABSOLUTELY agree!!!!!... so would it make sense for us to FIGHT to "un rigg" the system instead of arguing, debating, and shaming people who have VALID points on a rigged system ?? ... I NEVER said I would not vote, or have not voted, I am saying ain't NOBODY gonna shame me into it either... when my ONLY option is the lesser of two EVILS, I choose to sit that out and keep doing what I been doing so HOPEFULLY better options come in the future.. I can't even fathom participating in figuring out which evil is better than the other evil...I'm going to let y'all have that. And you won't hear me complain one bit.. call me what you want to...
If you actually took the time to listen to Whitlock you would realize that he’s making logical arguments. I don’t usually agree with him. But he’s not entirely wrong in my opinion on certain things. I keep hearing people say vote, go out and vote. Let’s not forget Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump were the primary candidates. Neither deserve to be president. No matter the candidates, how unworthy they may be, we still will vote, yet we expect things to change.
Whitlock is right about the black family and how much is has broken apart. That's where everything else grows from and without that there is no starting point. Why that isn't common sense I don't know. And he's right that the Asians who are least politically active are the most family oriented and top of the economical food chain. That's a HUGE correlation
J Williams Great take J Will, although Whitlock didn’t seem to speak much on works but more on faith, I feel this skills-based element is missing from both.
Tarik Steadman right, which is why I don’t 100% agree with his solution as far as putting an emphasis on politicians to do something. But, I do agree that if you make sure you’re providing for your family and are following the guidance of the Most High, you are doing as much as anyone can ask of you...everything else that is of true substance and real action is going beyond which is commendable as well
I agree with you. We keep getting out here and voting but we're not financing the fundraisers nor are we have really demanding anything. if you look at the Asian Community they have the lowest voter turnout of any ethnicity in this country but yet they have the lowest unemployment rate the highest graduation rate in the highest entrepreneurship rate in America. The black dollar is powerful than the black vote.
Jason Whitlock actually gives me a little hope for black people. He is speaking the TRUTH about the black community and other stereotypical blacks hate that. So they resort to calling them "uncle toms" since they can't call them "racist" (which is what they love to do)
How you don't believe in politics but you always on foxnews talking politics. Smh

@@bad444 see that's one of the issues church is the foundation the people church is the foundation now I'm not saying that all churches are right I send that all leaders all right but the point of matter is still to get together to gather to worship God is the greatest and finest thing you can do I personally believe that there should be a separation between politics and the church because politics is such a dirty business and the Bible says you can't serve two masters you going to end up making a decision that goes against morality and goes against the laws so to say that you want more black people separate from the church that's the last thing we should do are you what's going on right now they're attacking our children from a moral standpoint the politicians are these organizations are but then you want them to stay away from church before you get your strength from well correction God is where you get your strength from but he also says do not forsake corporate worship
Jason is right! Read Daniel 2:44, and 45. That is the future for anyone involved in politics!
Jason is right!!!! Fathers leaving the home is the biggest problem in the black community!!! I don't understand why that's so hard to understand!!!!
Jason os 100% right i am not going to wait politics to change my life
witlock claims to not believe in politics but hes on fox all the time
The next question I would ask Jason is, "when does it become necessary to get involved in politics? How many rights do politicians have to take away before you'll decide that it's worth voting? "
Both parties just take away different rights
@@WBKimmons both parties? There's 1 uniparty and its globalists
Roland is always trying to talk over somebody when you don't agree with him
Agreed!
That is called a debate.
It's very annoying. He's used to doing it with inferior guests. Horrible listener.
Ladies and gentlemen: THE POLITICS OF RESPONSIBILITY!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
It's been 4 years Rowland, what progress is being made?
Jason is 100% correct and this is a message that needs to be talked about more. The civil rights work is important but the spot light is always in that and politics. Screw whoever is in office and go get the bag. We got good people fighting the good fight
I’m an Atheist so there’s that and I’m African American, he’s not right about anything
THATS SKIN FOLK NOT KIN FOLK WHERE WAS JESUS DURING SLAVERY??? I’ll wait
Christian Soldier you sound fucking dumb they enslaved people with bible scriptures dickhead wtf are you talking about that Christianity shit been flipped and switch so many times you got white pastors saying they won’t marry interracial couples??? So what are you saying?? I was waiting for one of you clowns drunk on Jesus juice to step up let me know if you wanna keep going I’ll embarrass you today
Kareem Gray the ONLY reason Christianity was able to be used to enforce slavery, was because WE COULDN’T READ. Before you start throwing sand on Christianity and using slavery to discredit Christianity; actually pick up a Book and study the FULL subject. There’s a reason why it was illegal for blacks to know how to read and especially know how to read the Bible. White people didn’t want us to know how to read the Bible, because biblical characters were dark skin human beings just like us. Jesus was a Dark skinned (most likely black). Adam and Eve were black. The garden of eve has been proven biblically to be located in Africa. You “woke” people are so damn ignorant, it makes NO sense. You just spout random bullshit and like to present it as facts
Kenneth Dunn so basically you telling me in Africa before we was enslaved we didn’t have our own language? Did we speak English? Did we read in our own dialect? Ask yourself these questions black peoples existence didn’t start when slavery did im sorry you didn’t know that we have a history before we was slaves because of that book called the Bible that those white people from Roman times been trying to get the world to believe in what they believe in do your research because all you wanna do is defend fairy tales you don’t know what you believe in you believe what you been told so you pick up a book clown
Kareem Gray, what book have you picked up? Can you actually quote from one, or are you like Trump and Kanye West, all talk and suffer from a serious allergic reaction whenever you've touched a book? Cause if you actually read "the book," or studied it, you'd know people of African descent wrote some of the books in the bible, Africans helped created it, Africans and African culture are featured prominently in it, and Jesus even spoke Aramaic, a language with heavy African roots. To attack Kenneth Dunn as if he didn't know "we" have a history before slaves, when clearly he understand the African presence in the bible (and the history in the bible is thousands of years before slavery in America)....makes you look incredibly ignorant. Better to have someone think you are a fool, but not really know, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt!
Kareem Gray I am a Christian & it’s a blow to my heart when there are debates about Jesus & the Bible. So, if I could for a moment challenge you to ponder these thoughts for a moment. If God The Father & Jesus The Son does not exist who created the first humans(male & female) fully equipped with every organ necessary to procreate generations of ppl that came before us so that we may exist. There’s not a human traceable back in history that gives clear evidence that they A. Created themselves thus B. Made it possible that we would be created millennium, centennials & decades later. The second thing I would respectfully ask that you would consider is, if you were a betting man & you heard the “fairy tale” of a man name Jesus & the alternative Satan. In that “fairy tale” 2 places were vividly described & explained as Heaven & Hell & all that each offered your soul after you died. Life, joy, peace & so much more everlasting or eternal burning & all that was required for everlasting was acknowledging(confessing) your wrongs(sin) asking forgiveness from God(The Creator) & allowing Him in your heart. Would you really want to take the risk, bet on your life(eternal) die & discover that it was all true but it’s too late for you & burning for an eternity is now your fate? My prayer for you sir is that you choose everlasting before it’s too late, for no man knows the hour which will be our last!!
As a black man in America I feel I must vote simply because too many people DIED (both black and white) so I would have the right to do so! You don't have to believe in either side of this debate, or the institution of politics AT ALL to go out and vote! I have literally gone to the polls and written myself in on the ballot and voted FOR MYSELF (yes, you can do that) because I feel an obligation to do so. That is my rationale behind why I primarily vote in America!!!
They died for freedom not voting
@@Liveandlearn934 lmao keep dreaming voting are for whites 😂😂😂
Correction: Black people died for the right for you to choose whether you want to vote or not.
@@thadonjuan2339 false we black people ain’t in constitution so not sure wtf youtalkin about.. black means chattel property
Jason your so right bro
Y'all are having two different conversations. One is taking about the benefit of politics and the other is taking about dependency on politicians and politics or an obsession.
Yup
I can't stand ppl that throw God in every debate/argument.. it's like a cop out cause you have no real insight on the discussion
T Johnson You just don’t understand the perspective he’s speaking from bro. And I mean that with no disrespect. Nothing but love coming from this direction. But he’s talking about a real issue that’s going on in this society with our people. Politicians don’t care about us. This land is not our rest. We shouldn’t be fighting for “equality”. We should be fighting for rulership
@@chriscj71 bro Whitlock basically has no insight or knowledge his answer is prayer. I love how Roland chewed his ass up #pause

Branched off from catholics, practiced witchcraft, and demonic shit! Sacrifices, drinking baby blood, drinking adult blood! Look it up! All religion you find today is false!
My thing is why vote when you know the "elite" already know who they want in Congress etc.
These idiots don’t get it..... even if let’s say hypothetically black people ain’t vote in this election (and I really mean not go cast 1 fuckin ballot ) see who they give us and if it get better or worse😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
U r1000% right!!!!!! It's all rigged
That way of thinking is part of the "Southern Strategy". Make them think their vote doesn't matter. You falling for the ole Okey doke!
Asians are heavily involved in politics on a local level. Nationwide, Asians are a noticeable minority (5%), but in many metropolitan cities like New York, L.A. San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, Detroit, Minneapolis-St. Paul, etc. they are an economic and political powerhouse.
Michael Cooper can you count? Does the word minority mean anything to you? Blacks don't have the economy or the numbers en mass to make sustainable changes.
Also, they get the system. America doesn’t reward the uneducated. Like it or not. They acquire college degrees at much higher rates than other minority groups and are much more likely to obtain STEM degrees than other minority college students. In other words, they go into careers that pay well. So, their economic power is immense relative to other demographic groups. That’s the route that black people as a group have not taken and need to in order to combat the forces against us.
“We have replaced relationship with God with politics”....I agree
Indeed he is right
Aren’t you too old for imaginary friends?
Martin, was extremely awful during in this interview. Jason really exposed Martin with facts! Roland is so blinded by the racist policies of the Democratic Party hat he can’t listen!
Strong family structure is #1.
The lack of a positive male father figure in a young mans life will lead to violence and trouble.
yeah, the White Men are smoking bubbles with their kids! High Five!
what do you say to the people who are doing just fine and did not have one. Should they now get in trouble to fit the narrative.
I can't believe I agree with Whitlock on this 1 issue.
His basic point was each individual can be victorious living a spirit filled life. That's facts.
Black folks have been praying to God for a long time. We need to put something in action for things to change
Well said! How do you look to be save, by same God your oppressor pray to? The slave is praying for deliverance, while the slave owner is praying that the slave doesn't rise up against him. And all of this to the same God?
Black folks been voting for a while too...how has that worked out
@@crw3673 ....everybody on their knees is not praying....
If Jesus was coming back he would have come back for us during slavery that's all I'm going to say on that period
Blacks were making tremendous strides in the face of utmost adversity prior to the 60s. Everything started going downhill since blacks started depending on the govt. Yes it helps to change the laws and enact new ones, but black Americans have lost sight of their values
Still to this day politicians continue to dissapoint.
Roland reminds me of the quote “keep hope alive” 😂
Keep hope alive in what?
Jason, we are living on Earth and not in heaven. One can still be religious and interested in politics. Politics exists and affects people even in theocratic states and the United States is a secular state and definitely people residing in such states will be affected.
I hate to say this, but Jason made some valid points about black people acting in our own self interest, the breakdown of the family and black people needing to come back to YAH...
Wrong, politics creates policy, policy affects families, there are way more variables at play than personal choice, and who cares aboyt white families, we're talking about saving ourselves, let them deal with their own issues
If the world was full of people like that we’d be in bondage still.
Exactly.
And he would be trying his hardest to be the house boy like Stephen from Django Unchained 😂
This never gets old.
when will blacks wake up and see Rolan Matin for what he is .
This whole conversation is nullified voided he has no voice,Ro Ro this dude wasted your whole day thanks for showing us who he is the mask is off
You don't have to agree with the man but why would you say that someone is wasting their time from hearing a different black man's perspective I remember rolling Martin letting a woman call another black man a liar and she did not correct her so black people need to stop acting like white people they need to stop thinking that we're all the same because we're not and we have different perspective different opinions I happen to agree with Whitlock we have gotten away from God we have spent most of our time on politics and if you look at the laws that are on the books now they're immoral the word father husband and wife are actually in the Bible so now they're talking about getting rid of the word father and mother or the term father and mother so he's right he's politicians are dishonest
It's hard to separate politics from real life that we experience every day. So it's hard to imagine that any person in any job or field could or should be non-political.
I'm non-political; it's not that hard when you're focused on providing for yourself and your family. Most people focus on the drama of politics instead of the actual laws. If you know the laws of the land and the words of the Most High, you will be able to operate successfully in life without getting caught up in the political game.
@@johnb3898
Laws are one thing....but the interpretation of laws is another.
The latter is what we're dealing with most of the time.
Roland, I don’t know how you did that interview without slapping the crap out of Whitlock. More power to you Roland. Whitlock has no solutions. He just wants to criticize everything.
Jason, I don’t know how you did that interview without slapping the crap out of Martin.... clearly we didn’t see the same video. 🙄
Indeed your correct!
That sounded more like roland. He was all over the place with contradictions, I think u need to listen carefully again.
I disagreed with a lot of what Whitlock said in this video but what he said at 2:52 is just straight facts.
Whitlock is spot on.
Whitlock spitting straight facts
It's a hilarious to watch this. People literally don't have the skills of listening anymore. Whether you agree with Whitlock or not Roland did not actually take time to listen to Jason.
I can see how serious Roland is in this interview by the fact that hes wearing a throwback Jersey.
Politics is very important but Jason is spot on and I don’t understand how Roland can only keep defending his position but not acknowledge the demise of the black family and moral structure.
Jason Whitlock doesn't get it that politics had a role in breaking up the families that he's saying we need. He's a joke.
@William Moore politics don’t make your decisions and this comin from a real life single dad with a 4 yr old girl
@@boutwhatever7520 But politics do factor in disproportionate sentencing, mandatory minimums for minor offenses, access to homeownership (see redlining), voting eligibility, and access to entrepreneurship (see felons that can't open legal weed shops after being convicted for years for drug possession).
I agree that politics don't make decisions for people, but it sure can dictate the number of decisions some people have and the amount of options they have after a mistake.
@anthony giardina How is redlining avoidable when that's literally a racist and bigoted, segregationist action? You're assuming an equal playing field in a country where that's never been the case. Studies have been done, proving that positive decision making doesn't equal the same result. What you're describing is wishful thinking that many African Americans don't have the privilege to indulge in a country that has actively oppressed them for 100+ years post-slavery. You do realize we are still less than 60 years removed from Jim Crow, right? The effects of that don't disappear in two generations.
Jason, faith without works is dead. I get what you're saying about getting back to God and keeping him the focal point in our community and family but the Bible tells us that we have to do some leg work. If you're praying to God and asking for more opportunities or a better way of life or just to simply make it through...yes, you can have the faith but it takes an effort on your part to go out and try to make your situation better with God's help. It makes no sense to pray to God for a car and you don't even have a drivers license ... or you're praying for a job and instead of filling out applications or sending in resumes, you sit at home playing Playstation or watching soap operas. In order for us to see the change we want in the Black community we have get involved and make our voices heard politically and with God's help we'll make it.
Exactly.
Jason, you accurately said Family and God. I would add BUSINESS Building!
His ignorance can fill… His Stomach… 😂
Roland doesn't debate in good faith
Roland isn’t LISTENING! He’s so defensive about everything JW is saying! It’s a nauseating interview!
This Whitlock guy is a joker. How many times is he going begin a retort of a question with ' I didn't say...'
I don't believe in politics or politicians. Comes back later and says, I never said I don't believe in politics.
What did Roland lie about?
I actually agree with dude on this
I really appreciate you Roland when you are in enlighten mode like your interview with MK but the civil but argumentative side or persona always leave me wanting the enlightening RM.
It's true the breakdown of the family is a big problem it's like the kids are raising themselves
Whitlock is right
Whitlock has lost his mind now as for me I don't trust politicians or political parties but I have to vote right now
Hold on you try to low key shade him, but partially agree with him so.... 🤔🤔🤔🤔
@nickmorgan so your gonna vote for politicians that you dont trust, just bc you have the right....hmmmmmmm
I'm not Jason Whitlock
Vote for who? How’s that working out?
I've noticed that Roland is obsessed with listening to attack rather than listen, process, amd attempt to genuinely understand.
Roland Martin looks like an owl that transformed into a human.
Wow!!!! I just know WHERE to start with this man. . .
I’m with Jason
Whitlock is awesome. He cuts through the nonsense and keeps it simple. He's saying as long as the single motherhood rate continues to be horrifyingly high the black community is gonna be a mess.
BlackMagic553 This guy Whitlock is a str8 fool and very irresponsible he has a platform with millions of viewers. His opinion doesn’t matter our people need Facts.
Calling Jason Whitlock an Uncle is an insult to Uncle Tom
People like Jason are fatalistic and passive under a front of not giving a damn
Fatalistic. LOL
Exactly. Talk the talk but don't walk the walk
Whitlock MORE than held his own..... Brother is cool, calm, and articulate, and made some damn good points.... I think Roland’s heart is in the right place, but he came off as a little too overbearing and emotional to me
I can’t lie ...... he’s right
What a great interview.
FREEDOM means I have the FREE will to vote or to NOT vote..my ancestors did not die for my right to pick the best white person to "lead" me and SELL me the best set of lies.. .... and just because I don't vote don't mean that's a vote for the person YOU did not vote for... what kind of LOGIC is that??.... NO we need better POLITICIANS who WORK for the people and CONTINUE to work and have their presence seen and felt more than just an election cycle.....I don't even listen to the slave based shame game and insults.. I laugh at them.. good try

Felix Donnell
All great questions for which many people who believe and trust the voting process never has a satisfying answer. In 2016, Donald trump received 304 electoral votes while Hillary received 227. So, essentially, the US election system was established in a manner where 304 votes from REGULAR CITIZENS (labeled “electoral college”) can outvote or defeat 3,000,000 more ballots from REGULAR CITIZENS. That’s ridiculous. What kind of math is being employed here? Then those same people would berate a non-participant for refusing to be civically engaged. However, I posed this thought provoking question, “If I would have voted for Clinton, should would have exceeded Trump’s votes by 3,000,000 and 1, do you really believe she would have won the election then? Truth is Hillary could have received 10 million more votes than Donald and still lost the election due to the electoral college rigged system. Russia did not rig the election. The founding father’s did.
@@fabiancortez2256 ABSOLUTELY agree!!!!!... so would it make sense for us to FIGHT to "un rigg" the system instead of arguing, debating, and shaming people who have VALID points on a rigged system ?? ... I NEVER said I would not vote, or have not voted, I am saying ain't NOBODY gonna shame me into it either... when my ONLY option is the lesser of two EVILS, I choose to sit that out and keep doing what I been doing so HOPEFULLY better options come in the future.. I can't even fathom participating in figuring out which evil is better than the other evil...I'm going to let y'all have that. And you won't hear me complain one bit.. call me what you want to...
If you actually took the time to listen to Whitlock you would realize that he’s making logical arguments. I don’t usually agree with him. But he’s not entirely wrong in my opinion on certain things. I keep hearing people say vote, go out and vote. Let’s not forget Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump were the primary candidates. Neither deserve to be president. No matter the candidates, how unworthy they may be, we still will vote, yet we expect things to change.
Wait married to a minister? Okay Got It! Dude is rebellious to the text. Ooops!
Agreed! I dismissed Roland regarding any mention of God and Biblical scriptures when he stated that he was married to a "minister".
Whitlock is right about the black family and how much is has broken apart. That's where everything else grows from and without that there is no starting point. Why that isn't common sense I don't know. And he's right that the Asians who are least politically active are the most family oriented and top of the economical food chain. That's a HUGE correlation
dam , I thought I would never agree with this brother, but he is telling the truth about politics
I believe in voting...but I'm with Whitlock.
J Williams Great take J Will, although Whitlock didn’t seem to speak much on works but more on faith, I feel this skills-based element is missing from both.
Jason should be familiar with "Faith without works is dead" proverb in the Bible.
the Bible speaks nothing of politics however, so Jason was more on point in his assertion.
John Ball But every figure in biblical history didn’t just pray nor hear the voice of God. God spoke and they acted.
Tarik Steadman right, which is why I don’t 100% agree with his solution as far as putting an emphasis on politicians to do something. But, I do agree that if you make sure you’re providing for your family and are following the guidance of the Most High, you are doing as much as anyone can ask of you...everything else that is of true substance and real action is going beyond which is commendable as well
John Ball Yes because we call to a higher standard after all.
The best argument is that BIG CORPERATIONS RUN POLITICANS. Not the average citizen. Thats what Roland fails to realize.
How has voting made anything better for black people.
My only issue with Whitlock is not voting. Otherwise he made good points.
These days presidents are selected not elected. Dick Gregory told me this personally and I believe him
J Williams so you don’t believe that the convergence of education and politics won’t move us forward?
He made some good valid points
Who raised this man? He’s so ignorant.
you deal with it like both of you have dealt with it!
Jason is simple, to the point and correct.
Jason this is the smartest thing I've heard u say.And you are correct
I agree with you. We keep getting out here and voting but we're not financing the fundraisers nor are we have really demanding anything. if you look at the Asian Community they have the lowest voter turnout of any ethnicity in this country but yet they have the lowest unemployment rate the highest graduation rate in the highest entrepreneurship rate in America. The black dollar is powerful than the black vote.
I agree with Jason Whitlock .. He said God first
Jason Whitlock actually gives me a little hope for black people. He is speaking the TRUTH about the black community and other stereotypical blacks hate that. So they resort to calling them "uncle toms" since they can't call them "racist" (which is what they love to do)
