An Open Letter To The NABJ and Roland Martin

The "Democrat Who Is A Journalist", Roland Martin Forwards An Open Letter To The NABJ

My question to the National Association of Black Journalists and Roland Martin is simple:

"We know that you working hard.  WHO are you working for?"

Per my read on history the Black Press was originally formed because the "mainstream"/ White press was not interested in covering stories that advanced the interests of the Black community OR they were only interested in slandering us via their official press channels.  Various Black newspapers sprung up to tell the narrative from our community's perspective.  Later on various Black radio programs and then television programs followed.  Today we have all of this and more on the Internet.

On the surface it appears that Roland Martin and crew is content on having a "Black face" represented on the airwaves.   In truth we all know that he wants a "Black Progressive" who is ultimately supportive of the Democratic Party and protective of the "Black Establishment".   Let's just be honest.

This is the reason why I must question the very character of the Black Press.   It is one of the "10 Peas in the Pod" of the Black Progressive Establishment.  

As with the other tentacles its main job is to protect the other 9.   If you believe that this the Black community's permanent interests are an intrinsic part of this mission - you'd be wrong.   Instead their goal is to protect the Progressive agenda which purports to protect and advance the interests of the Black Community.

One can clearly observe the compromised state of the Black Press merely by inspecting the areas where they have been successfully in promoting a favorable political machine into power.   The two critical questions that should be used to inspect the character of the Black press are:

1. Now that this machine in is power have the Permanent Interests of the Black Community been materially advanced?  How
2. Since the answer to question #1 is "NO" more often than "Yes" - Why has the Black press stopped their muckraking against the person in power in the seat?  

Instead it switches modes and beings to protect this establishment player, making sure that he has a platform to broadcast his version of events.  

Too often the Black press fails to go around this establishment and report from the streets.

Mr Martin, NABJ - we don't need any more "Black Faces" in the media IF their only job is to tow the line that you favor all the while our community continues to suffer and operate far below our potential.

I wonder WHO is the watch dog group that watches over the NABJ and other Black Establishment organizations that cast themselves as watchdogs?

WE CAN'T AFFORD "UNITY" AT THIS TIME
