Roland Martin to John Kelly: ‘Shame on You,' Too Many White People in This Country ‘Don't Know History'

Too many people in this country don't know history. Americans, in general, prefer to think about the future.

[Breitbart] Tuesday on MSNBC "Velshi & Ruhle," discussing White House chief of staff John Kelly’s comments on Fox News about Confederate monuments, host of "News One Now" Roland Martin said "too many people in this country who are white" didn’t know history and wanted to "somehow glorify these Confederate leaders."

Martin said, "I’m not going to allow four stars stuck on stupid to simply go on. Here’s a man who’s utterly clueless. For him to say, ’Well, we could have compromised’‐really? We did compromise. It was a thing called United States Constitution, and you know what that said? If you’re a black, you’re three-fifths of a human."

Pathetic, but typical of those who don't know history.

He continued, "I need John Kelly to actually go back and read a history book that my 12-year-old nieces are reading right now, because clearly, he fell asleep in history."

One hopes they will read all the chapters, rather than fixating on a single highlight box as their uncle did.

#3 Sad to say, too many lefties watch MSNBC and take this putrid dribble as the gospel.

#4 People in this country don't know history, or know the distorted version of history.

All by design.

#5 read a history book that my 12-year-old nieces are reading

Chomsky and Zinn? Those aren't history books. They're just anti-American/Western Civ propaganda.

#6 So many ignorant people misunderstand the 3/5s Compromise. Counting slaves as 3/5 of a person reduced the voting power of the slave states and left the voting power of the slaves (none) unchanged.

#7 I suggest Roland travel to the slave coast of W. Africa and learn the real history of slavery. I lived there for 2 years and certain tribes STILL blame other tribes for capturing and selling them.

John Kelly's pinky toe knows more history than Roland will eve know.

#8 Let me guess, Mr. Martin votes Democrat (party of slavery, KKK and Jim Crow laws) because he "knows" the Republicans (party of emancipation and anti-slavery) is going to force him back into "slavery" (take away his victimhood).

#11 A white guy who said this about blacks would have been fired minutes after the statement. That's what black privilege is all about - impunity.
