How will Roland respond to the public chastisement from The Fly Jock
The Fly Jock is one of the most powerful men in Black Media and he's showing it
The drama for outspoken correspondent Roland Martin continues. Now the “Fly Jock”, Tom Joyner, has issued a written “smack down” chastising him for prolonging the issue with GLAAD.
In his statement, Joyner says “When people are offended by something we say or do, it doesn’t matter what our intentions are. The job of the offender is simply to apologize and learn a lesson about what to say or do going forward.”
He continues with “Your mission is greater than your principal. It’s no longer about you. Now it’s grown into something bigger than you are, but only you can make right.”
2 things are going on here. He is flexing his muscle in the African-American community and he is probably responding to pressure from GLAAD as well. Interesting enough though, is there isn’t any written threat of his job being in jeopardy with the TJMS. Tom focuses on Roland’s job with CNN, not his daily correspondent segment with the TJMS. At least not yet.
Well Roland, “Check”. The next move is on you.
Oh yeah…by the way, he managed to give a backhand slap to Tavis Smiley as well. I guess he just couldn’t resist himself. Check out the full open letter here.
Wondering what this is about? Roland Martin Gets Suspended For What He Does Daily…Run His Mouth

CNN, Tom Joyner and TV One Contributor Has Learned The Hard Way about the LGBT Community's Sense Of Humor
Anyone who follows Roland Martin on Twitter know that he can get under your skin. Especially if you are a fan of the Dallas Cowboys, anyone Republican or if you are a member of any black fraternity besides Alpha Phi Alpha. He also is an annoying advocate of any team from Houston and Texas A & M. He is a master at what is called in black culture of “playing the dozens” or “jonein.”
Through social media, Roland has mastered the art of self promotion, which has helped him fill the void of the one black guy that CNN calls on for all things political. He definitely understands the art of blending news and entertainment. Make no mistake, he’s a great political analyst.
Well during one of his many tweets during the Super Bowl, he made a critical mistake that many of us born before 1980 (he was born in 1968) make. He forgot that disrespecting the LGBT community in this day and age is the quickest path to contrition, sanctions and unemployment. Whether real or imagined, the homosexual community is not going to tolerate it.
I have talked about this many times on Life Full Circle Radio. There are a ton of us 35+ that need to be “reprogrammed.” As a child growing up in the 80s, it was common for young boys to call each other “gay”, “faggot”, “homo”, etc as a means of insulting our friends and enemies. Of course it was “cool.” Our uncles, dads, grandpas and, dare I say, mommas used those terms all the time to either demean us or motivate us to act. One of the most motivating insults to get a kid to fight a kid picking on them, was to call them a gay slur if they didn’t stand up for themselves.
Well fast forward 3o years and what do you have? A 40+ year old journalist, who ran his tweet through the 12-year-old Roland filter, instead of his current mind that should have taken into account what was at stake. His career.
Many of us have to be reprogrammed. We have to balance whatever we feel about the homosexual community, with what is culturally accepted today. Ultimately, we have to live and let live.
Make no mistake, Roland can try to spin that tweet anyway he wants. That was absolutely an insinuation that if anyone was at your Super Bowl party and thought that David Beckham’s ad, slightly made you want to buy a pair of his underwear, you needed to, figuratively, get smacked up. Why? Because you were showing attraction to a man in his drawers, and would be considered as acting “gay.”
Do I believe that his statement was to be taken literally? Of course not. Roland was simply running his mouth, or better yet his fingers…on Twitter. That is simply what he does. Once again, if you follow Roland on Twitter, you see him jousting with people all day long.
Unfortunately, he lost sight of the fact he was not in his high school gym, he is on the world’s stage for all to see. I doubt he will make that mistake again. The stakes are too high.

This week on Life Full Circle Radio we are going to talk about Black women, fitness and hair.
Going back to the days of middle and high school, one of the common occurrences was to see the boys playing basketball, kickball and dodgeball during gym while, the girls sat on the side with their noses turned up looking at the boys and all their developing testosterone getting funky right before science class. Well just a couple of years earlier when those same girls were in pigtails and the class was called “recess” and not gym, they were out there right with the boys playing tag, hoop and soccer. Something happened right around the time that puberty set in for the girls. They started to listen to their moms, sisters and aunties when they told them how much their roots were tightening up because of sweat and activity. In there lies the beginning of the black woman’s dilemma. Whats more important, my perm or my “firm?”
Just added to the show is Fitness Expert, Melinda Henry
If you look around, you see black women daily with everything from short dos to long dos, weaves to grown out, dreaded to fros, rocking what they feel is there best self-expression. Than when you pan down to the rest of them the story often takes a “wider” lens. Uh oh… “Oh No he didn’t!” Yes I did. 
Now before you get your unmentionables in a bunch, this (and most of my blogs and radio shows for that matter) are about self-evaluation. I am a long way from my basketball playing weight and have to sometimes drag myself to the gym to workout. With that being said, ladies its time to take a good long look in the mirror. Do you really believe that you can eat what you want, live a sedentary lifestyle that goes from the bed, to a car that drives you to work, to a desk that you sit at all day, and back home, yet keep up that body that got you all that attention in high school and college? Really? Evidently you do, and the cure-all is a new weave or perm to work out the kinks. This just in, when I do make it to the gym, there are a lot more white women running that track or on those ellipticals than sisters (now you can officially take off your earrings and hit the roof!)
Dr. JeffriAnne Wilder will give us an sociological position on this issue
Maybe its time to take a bit more inspiration from our first lady than her fashion sense. Even with all her money and access to the best hairdressers that money can buy, her arms look much better then her do.
Now that, you are mad at me (when you should be made with Ronald McDonald, Wendy and The Burger King), I encourage you to comment below and join us this week, on Life Full Circle Radio as we will dig into this subject. I promise you, we will all be better for it.
Editors note: This is a follow to the story that was posted last week about the surgeons generals study on black women sacrificing health over hair .

This week on Life Full Circle Radio we are going to dig into the topic of interracial dating. Now for all the hyper sensitive folks who got upset strictly off of the name of this blog, wait until the show.
We will have Christelyn Karazin, creator of the website Beyond Black White. Christelyn is a sister from Cali that happened to find her love in a white dude. With that, of course she has gone through scrutiny from her peers. But it doesn’t seem to matter much and to a growing number of black women. You should visit her site and read some the comments that these women have to say about the brothers.
We will also have Champ from VerySmartBorthas.com. If you have read their blog, you know that they have a very funny and insightful position on an array of topics including this one.
if you are down with the “swirl” or not, you don’t want to miss this show! It will be one for records books!
