I would like to say, however, that Roland Martin is a hypocritical ass slug. If President Haley Barbour's wife invited some redneck country singer over to her WH tea parties after he wrote a song about setting Obama on fire and spoke out against mixed relationships, Roland's fat ass wouldn't be LOLing

You're right, Roland, he's not "quite controversial", he's just your average, everyday, common racist.
COMMON: I don’t think there’s anything the matter with somebody loving somebody from another race but it’s almost like a stereotype that if you’ve got dreadlocks you go out with a white girl. just feel like, as black men, we do have to be aware that, yo, every time we step out with some woman it’s setting an example for our daughters and it’s also representing something for our mothers. If you can’t really love your own, how can you really love others?
TOUCH: So you don’t agree with mixed race relationships?
COMMON: I disagree with them (Just like Strom!). It’s a lack of self-love. It’s a problem.
TOUCH: Have you ever dated outside your race?
COMMON: Nah, not dated [giggles](Just like Strom!).
TOUCH: Have you slept with anybody outside your race?
COMMON: Yeah, I definitely have(Just Like Strom!).
Who know who shares that view? James Strom Thurmand aka everyone's favorite segregationist.
Wow, what an asshole. But wait- what's this?
Six months after Thurmond's death, Essie Mae Washington-Williams, an African American, publicly revealed that she was Strom Thurmond's daughter. She was born to Carrie "Tunch" Butler (1909–1948), a maid who had worked for Thurmond's parents, on October 12, 1925, when Butler was sixteen years old and Thurmond twenty-two.
