The Critical Asshole: Listening to...

Oh, Roland Martin, how I adore thee? Let me count the ways:

1.) Roland Martin has authority - He’s smart, he’s black, he doesn’t mince words. He’s been there and done that and can tell it like it is.

2.) Roland Martin just went there - quoting from the article on Valentine’s Day (link is found below) Martin says of men who get involved in Valentine’s Day:

And Valentine’s Day really isn’t even a two-way street. Men are utterly irrelevant except to serve as pawns in this commercial game, emptying their wallets in order to satisfy their lovers or those around them. Oh yea, retailers know the con game.

Most of these guys are hapless saps who have ignored their wives or girlfriends all year, so they buy the flowers and candy, and set a reservation at one of the city’s most expensive restaurants, all to say, “Honey, I love you.”

3.) I’m confident that Roland Martin’s hates people just as much as I do.
