Comments by "Peter Ford" (@peterford9369) on "Roland S. Martin" channel.

My wife's ex, treated her like Archie Bunker, treats Edith. But without the love. And so when our daughter was in highschool, I made sure to let her know, to NOT, need a man. To be able to be her own person and never, put all her worth in a man. Because I heard and saw how guys treat their girlfriends, wives, etc. And I did not, want that for our daughter. Love is one thing. Ownership is another. So when I heard Fani Willis talk on the stand, I cheered her on.

Hey there all, I am just an old white guy. But also and old white workin stiff carpenter . Racism is one disgusting behavior, I just cannot put up with, from both sides of the coin. I am so dang proud of Mrs Jackson's appointment and at the same time disgusted with Thomas s TOTAL, behavior on the court. I'm super excited that she is doing her job and standing up to these right wing assinine jurists that shes having to deal with. There should be 0 political considerations in their decisions. But by god their decisions should... consider the affect on every day Americans. Thomas and any of the justices should be impeached when they totally show favoritism towards wealthy donors in stead of the people. When Thomas came out with the, bootstraps, comment, i was so pissed when here his little nephew/son , got his college paid by the billionaire Crow. So much for bootstraps there i see. Plus, Thomas makes PLENTY of money to send his son/nephew to college on his dime. Hypocrisy 3.0 my friends.

Representative Green, I commend you sir, for, ACTUALLY, standing up for the real Americans. This," man?", does not deserve to be the president of our country. His talk is cheap and lies. We see it. But all of us, only have the pulpit, at election time, unless our representatives speak for us. And you sir, are one of those that do. So sorry about your friend and colleague. My condolences 🙏💞

Come on y'all, We all SEE, what trump is doing. You keep saying , MSM is not doing it's job. But long before you and social media podcasters, do your exuberant podcasts, MSM has shown it. Face it. If MSM was gone. Where the hell would y'all get your ammunition? Having the information doesn't help. We voters only have power at election time. Oh sure. Trump no doubt, reversed course, on the tariffs. Because of public response anger or disapproval. We out here do appreciate y'alls podcasts. Because you reemphasize the headlines. But if it weren't for MSM, you podcasters would have to have professional reporters out there. You're own personal video camera persons, shooting the footage. So though you are appreciated. You need to quit acting like you're doing it alone, without the work that MSM does. Of course the people need to get more involved. Calling their Reps. Calling their senators. Writing letters to them. Maybe that's the information y'all could get us. Addresses, phone numbers.

If all the Dem leaders, quit their SHIT! and get behind Joe Biden, the doubtful voters will come around. I don't know, if this is about Kamala Harris or not. I hope....not. But if these GD leaders, don't quit their crap, we may well have a djt in the White House again. And this is coming from a tan American male. 😂. Dems! Quit the shit!

Personally I'm sick of trick words. Wokism, wokeness. When did woke, come to be an adjective? These are stupid labels. Conservative, liberal. Labels now to throw a person in a placement of good or bad. Our children are the future. We are the future of our parents. Stop poisoning the minds and actions of your children. Allow them to develop their own truths and race relations and relationships . Quit cramming our bigotry to them from both sides. All sides.

This is why I don't do these damn social media sites as a method of communication. All it does is feed the bank accounts of billionaires through advertisement. They don't care about their subs. Just the advertising millions your views give them. Utube is enough for me and I don't give them anything.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tell the truth. You're just another republican denyer. There were dozens of overseers, on both sides that swore over and over there was 0 fraud that would have changed the outcome. This guy's just another Desantrump lover here in our state. He probably is looking at a VP run if Ron Desantrump does a run for president. Yeah, yeah, it's a black thing. Face it, high aspirations are colorblind.

The reason the Harris campaign or no-one else dug into anything was the same reason nothing happened in 2020. With all the crap, Republicans and trump tried to do,to nullify Joe's win, fell short. No matter how hard they tried. The Dems realize it wouldn't be worth trying to do the same thing in this election. Without 100% proof, it won't help.

Amy Barrett, was mainly an anti abortion advocate. That doesn't mean, shes not a constitution based justice. She was chosen for her stance on the abortion fight and roe v Wade. But she's a woman, a mother and is not really a trump lackey. She's making her decisions based on the law. Not anyone's political desire. Not sure why Roberts went with them against trump? But remember. When trump was begging for the SC to give him the fraud win in 2020. They said NO.

Who says white people have a monopoly on bullshit. And this man is the," leader", of the BLM factor in his district? I black folks are flockin to djt, this mechanical man is why. All this false information was imprinted into him and he repeats it over and over and over, drumming it into the minds of disheartened people looking for some hope. And willing to listen to him rattle off mistruths. And he says it with such, conviction. It sounds like facts. Disgusting.

So true Roland. Fani Willis is, somewhat responsible for getting her case, messed with. Yes! Personally, I don't think she did wrong. BUT IT PUT HER ON TRIAL! Instead of him. In the eyes of millions of Americans. So though I, and millions of others, thought she was just fine. It looked bad. And in a case like this, against a slippery turd like trump, she should have used more forethought.

I'm proud of her for standing up. Both for speaking out for both her desire to be a police officer and make a difference, and against police brutality. But I have to say, police brutality doesn't see color, always. I've seen plenty of white cases. You are so right ma'am, if you cannot be a good cop, don't be a cop. Then maybe this blue line would be realistic. No one should protect bad behavior in the force. Same with military. We cannot give this power to bad people.

I agree with you Roland. I'm going to try very hard, to write the word, Felon, into every reference of Felon, djt.
1
I agree. Parties are cults. I don't care which it is. And I don't understand why right now, they're pushing Biden out, or trying to. *Maybe it's the good old boy donor class? I don't know. Why they're risking a trump win, by splitting people up, I have no answer. Just leave Joe alone. Get behind him 100%. And get people out to vote with positive words, not negativity.

I hope dear Joe Biden is cursing the respect and decency he showed djt during the transition of power. To think Joe tried so GD hard, to show this bastard a congenial, professional act of transitionial respect. And this is how he's paid back. If ANYONE OF YOU, podcasters, place Joe Biden, pardoning who he did, in the same breath as djt doing what he does. 🤮. That's how I feel about you. I keep hearing how sick they are, that Joe Biden pardoned people for no reason. And that it's despicable he did so. Shove it. Because this, is why he did it. And I'm proud of him for doing it. Djt, has brought out the prejudice, the hate and everything bad, in all the people around him. He's a sick virus, that infects anyone in his circle.

So why with all the tech we have and the POSSIBILITY, of keeping trump out of the White House. Didint Harris protest the final? And, if this information is available and is provable, it's not out here for all to see? I'm all for that coming out. So do it. We know, trump lives for projection. Doing himself what he blames others with. This is why, when he calls fraud. He's committing fraud. Or going to. But it's gotta be proven.

@latoniatbryant1179 But it s bootstraps for the working poor . These people are beyond belief. Their sense of compassion and real justice, has been bought and paid for.

@conniegrant939 Honestly, There is nothing wrong with the principal of making it yourself with work and self motivation. It's the hypocrisy of these justices and others that are obviously being given financial and other rewards by rich businesses or individuals, in turn for favoritism in judgments. All while telling everyone else, their opinions don't matter. And your rights, are at their mercy. And when confronted by anyone, for their dishonor. They either make excuses of a five year old child getting caught with their hands in the cookie jar, or they flat out say," we're not bound by the same rules as, regular folk. We make our own rules. And, we make rules for you too. Think of us as... God's. Thats about exactly what they're saying. It needs to change.

Roland, you make a good point. Once again, money is the thing.

@maurcrut6879 Our daughter went to college for her bach degree then went on and got her master's in teaching and now teaches high school math. But unfortunately she did marry a guy she met in college that turned being just like my wifes ex husband. And had a horrible divorce after 8 years. She is a super independent woman as she was a young lady 😥

@Tribuneoftheplebs What she's saying is, she doesn't live off a man. Not that men can, go to hell, or anything like that. She's being accused of getting Wade appointed to a well paid position, so he can afford to take her on expensive trips that they're saying she could not afford by herself. So she's saying, I don't need a man to pay my way. Period.

This dude is like the guy selling the 9.95 life insurance plan on TV. We'll take your 9.95 from a million poor black folk, rather than pushing the 100 buck a month or more that only 500 people can afford. Think about it. A million 9.95s every month coming in. Vs 50 few hundred a month. Yeah, they really care about you having life insurance.

I'm just a little tired of the, POOR ME, black discrimination. It's not only black or Hispanic. It's low income. I live in Tampa FL and in a predominantly mid to lower, working class neighborhood. The lines at my precinct are usually 45 minutes and sometimes more. I'm really sick of the blathering overkill of black and brown discrimination. I see good government jobs, almost predominantly black workers. The black person discrimination has been reduced hundreds of percent in my lifetime. And I'm happy for that. The problem is income, not color. Corey Booker makes 175,000,00 bucks a year. I have never made more than 50,000 a year in my entire working life. Why aren't you comparing Clarence Thomas, or yourself, or millions of other well-to-do black individuals? Get a damn mail in ballot. I do. I don't deny, there is still prejudice coming from all the different color, race and creeds. But just as you went on saying the word, "equal". Until people can afford to, pay bills, live in a safe neighborhood, afford food and rent without choosing which one this month. The ability to know, if you get sick, you can go to a well qualified health care facility and not wait for hours to see a doctor. On and on. There is no equality for, " all".

Well I sure as hell hope the voting mess anyone finds, anywhere. Is not like all the bullshit Republicans supposedly found in 2020. FACTS! not hype please. I'm all for 100% facts when it comes to voting. It means everything to be a true democracy. So, along with the concern of fraud. You want to make sure your evidence is 100%. Because you're not going to prove it to the public, if there is ANY doubt. Because in the land of the Republicans and trump, denial is their main battle cry.

You are right about people talking to Biden about changing VP s. And I said, Joe ain't that kind of man. This is why I quit calling myself a Dem and started calling myself an independent. Why? Because the Dem leadership is the same, in many respects, as the Republicans. Worse in this case. Biden and Kamala, have proven themselves 100%. And you're correct, they have been harping on Biden for a year or so. And it's sickening. It'd serve them right if he hopped on Marine 1 and pulled a Nixon. Personally, don't think they see Kamala as a black woman. Just a woman. And this country leadership still doesn't want a woman president. Hilary is as white, as it gets. And a very smart and politically savvy person. But they didn't work as hard for her either.
