Roland Martin presses congressional candidate William Lawrence over remarks claiming older Black political leaders “defang the white left.” For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (724) 264-8281 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/roland Paid Partnership Roland Martin and the RMU panel confronted congressional candidate William Lawrence over his claim that older Black political leaders are a “big problem” because they “defang the white left.” Lawrence admitted he painted with too broad a brush, said he should have stopped when he acknowledged it was not his place to speak, and said he now needs to repair trust. Roland, Nicole Robinson and Matt challenged him on Black political leadership, white progressive purity and whether Black constituents could trust that they would not be treated as expendable. #RolandMartinUnfiltered #BlackStarNetwork #WilliamLawrence #BlackPoliticalPower #BlackVoters #DemocraticParty Black Star Network Partner: Chapter Chapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.

and the CENK guy has a history of prognosticating what Black people should think that's why I stopped watching him. He kissed the ring of Donald Trump along with that other chick.

He is right. The older people of color have caused issues with progressive movements. The "white left" he is referring to, I believe, are allies to the left that can be more effective if the older generation keeps electing people like Biden. This is being taken out of context and it sounds like you are reaching. Why not try to help him correct himself instead of ostracizing people? He obviously wants to help people of color.

Those people do not care about the Palestinians at all. They use them as political props.

You’ve done a great job interview in this candidate for Congress in Michigan and I’m glad you called him out. There are a lot of people like him on the disguise of a Democratic Party, but have inconceivable ideas about the people who they want to vote for them. I’m glad you call him out..

If there was an amendment for the progress of Black people, without prejudice would he oppose it to be put on a bill to be signed by a president?
