That’s it?  Please try again–preferably after your CNN bosses have a meeting with
you to explain the principles underpinning “hostile work environment” jurisprudence, and how your public comments–off-the-cuff and intended to be sarcastic, or not–affect the reputation of your employer. Did you take damage control lessons from Susan G. Komen VPs or are you really so ignorant?

You are a coward and the fact you think your wife thinks she gets gays to walk away from being gay is a joke. Maybe you can get away from being ignorant but I doubt you can be “cured” from being straight.

So if your tweet was about soccer and not about gays, why did you single out “dudes” instead of saying “a person” or “someone”?  I’m not buying the apology.

pathetic

I am unfamiliar with the act that you referred to in your tweet as “smack the ish out of him”.

Can you detail what “the ish” is and how, exactly, would one smack it out of someone?

Thanks in advance.

Well i knew this was coming -especially if u want to keep your meal tickets coming. LOL!

Possibly these gentlemen took your advice: http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhgCrD8ld5DC705rNx

Was your comment about your wife being a Baptist minister (talking about irony) and “praying away the gay” also a slam at soccer fans?

Be aware, he’s deleting comments of critics now. 

Be aware, Martin is deleting comments by critics now.

Gluttony is a sin, you face-stuffer.

….

So question, Roland:

You would’ve made that same comment had the commercial instead featured Mia Hamm?

Thought not.

Now Roland – if u would go and apologize to Ms Sherrod -especially now that it was found out that she too has been misunderstood.  Since u r in the apologizing mood today..

Leave Roland the Hell alone and get a life!

Let’s leave sexuality issues aside for a moment, Roland: You’ve stated in previous writings that you’re a Christian.  Merely joking about violence…what’s Christ-like about that?  Would Jesus be a member of ‘TeamWhipDatAss’ ?

Your actions on Twitter fail on several levels, sir. 

I saw the hubbub and went to tiwtter to find the tweet and thought.. ”

this is what GLAAD is having conniptions over?”  Be strong man, this is ridiculous.. 

Another apology without apologizing. 

When I read anything that promotes violence against others because of who they are or what they wear I’m disgusted. And I do not watch people on TV who make such disgusting comments. 

Parting thought: I wonder how Roland would have responded today if Rick Santorum had posted that Tweet yesterday. 

Too little, too late. You should at least be honorable enough to make a true apology. Or to pay someone to write one, if you can’t.

sad kind of appology…not really sure if it was one or not. But sad and I didn’t believe it…sounds like hatrid to me

Your tweet was not a crack at soccer Martin and i say this as a straight soccer fan. It was just homophobic. Violence against gay people is nothing to be joked about, it’s actually a big problem.

Unbelievable and cowardly. Your tweet was not about soccer. It was about gay men. You, sir, are a thug. If you are a “real man,” you would take responsibility for your action and issue a real apology. Otherwise, you deserve to be fired.

It stuns me how someone of Roland Martin’s position acts as if he did nothing wrong.  No matter how you slice it, it came out and sounds as homophobic as it can be.

This comes from a man whose own race started the “DL” terminology because these closeted men were seeing other men on the side.  Ooops, l didn’t mean to call DL people closeted. They are just individuals who are leading a secondary life because they are afraid people like Roland Martin might call them out on the carpet.

Gays want to censor everyone. They need to get a grip and get over themselves. It’s not all about gays, you know!

dear roland:  there is alot of power in forgiveness…it really CAN change peoples hearts and minds…but you would have to show signs that you understand what you have said MORE THAN ONCE feeds negative attitudes about gay people, violence against them and hatred of them. you have yet to take responsibility and show that you really give a sh*t. your mind and heart need to open for anything positive to come out of this for anyone. there ARE people deeply affected by this who are strong enough to  forgive you, if you are strong enough to look at the truth.

Oh Roland, just follow Lou Dobbs to FOX already.

“If anyone says anoth word about this topic or makes another coment about me being a homophobe directly or implied I will slap the shit out of them.”

Jose’ made a valid point, if you can ask for an apology then you should apologize to god for any wrong doings. . HDF, said who gave you authority….It had nothing to do with authority..Once again perception!!! . Lets follow the rules and not make things as we go…Last but least … When was the last time when white american apolgized for calling whom ever and when ever they feel the need. Especially when it negativly impact communities abroad?? Stop chosing and picking what makes us feel good based on our emotions….

so what, he did not point any one out or direct it to anyone; it’s fun how we can say thing on TV about the president and it ok but someone tweet something that you have to put effort to read and it’s a big deal.  Don’t read it.  Hell it only became a big deal because the community made it a big deal.  Just another mean to… I don’t need to spell it out!!  

So your defense is …i was not attacking the 1 in 10 who are gay/lesbian/whatever …im attacking the 90% of the world that are soccer fans….wow …you really dodged that one OMG lolololol…eather way your being ignorant and closeminded…not exactly the image CNN is going for hehe
