Roland Martin Decimates Commentary Calling Politics a "Magic Trick"
This analysis exposes why public figures dismissing politics as "not real" actively undermine community progress, using the shooting of Pharrell's cousin as the stark evidence of politics' undeniable impact.
Short Summary
- Roland Martin forcefully refutes Pharrell Williams’ perspective that engaging in politics leads only to division and is fundamentally unreal.
- The discussion uses the fatal police shooting of Pharrell’s cousin, Donovan Lynch, and the subsequent $3 million settlement as proof that local politics dictates justice outcomes.
- Panelists argued that focusing solely on merit fails when systemic barriers, like biased home appraisals costing Black Americans $150 billion, require political intervention.
- This segment challenges celebrities with platforms who promote political apathy, warning that silence often supports the status quo of oppression.
- Readers gain critical context on how local governance, federal appointments, and economic policies are inextricably linked to political participation.

Wealth and fame sometimes becomes a barrier to reality.
Malcolm X warned folks about Black entertainers and athletes.
Pharrell’s business partner is Dave Grutman. Massive nightclub guy in Miami, and massive trumper. Just to put in perspective.
He is NOW surrounded by the elite and they have convinced him that he is soooo special. its washed common sense out of Pharrell
Worse the Fools sat there agreeing with him just because he’s a star.
This comes from years of living in an alternate reality..
Sometimes not saying anything is the best option 🤦🏾♀️
I love how you call out everyone regardless of race or creed
Money continues to cloud the reality of so many "celebrities," so many have paved the way for them to live comfortably. Now they're turning their backs on the very people who made them rich.
Why today somebody is always telling marginalized people not to vote? Yet the 1% vote every time all the time! No one calls them divisive!
