My problem with Roland isn't his knowledge of history and politics, it's the conclusions he draws in his analysis of them. He sees history and politics as a Democrat that just so happens to be African-American as opposed to an African-American who votes for the Democrats out of self-interest.
His answers to our problems always end up being us voting and supporting some Democrat aka "playing the game" instead of saying "wayment...fukk this game, we need what's ours". I don't know if he has sinister or self-serving interests but I do know that his "democrat first" stance instead of "African-American first" has him on the train to irrelevance.
