CNN commentator Roland Martin has agreed to meet with GLAAD following his suspension Wednesday for tweets during the Super Bowl that the group and others denounced as homophobic.

Calling Martin's tweets "regrettable and offensive," CNN said Martin would "not be appearing on our air for the time being." Martin later said on Twitter that he would meet with GLAAD, as the group had requested after he apologized Tuesday for the Super Bowl tweets.

"I look forward to meeting with GLAAD in the near future and having a productive dialogue," he tweeted.

The group tweeted back, "We look forward to a productive dialogue and to working together as well."

The Twitter detente helped resolve a controversy that began with Martin's tweets days before. GLAAD said two of Martin's tweets on Sunday seemed to advocate violence against gays.

"If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham's H&M underwear ad, smack the ish out of him!" he said in one tweet. In the other, he said, "Who the hell was that New England Patriot they just showed in a head to toe pink suit? Oh, he needs a visit from #teamwhipdatass."

Martin later apologized, saying he did not advocate violence against gays or bullying. He also said he himself had been bullied.

To signal that he took the issue seriously, Martin also reported on Wednesday about Brandon White, a 20-year-old gay man who was viciously beaten by a gang of men shouting anti-gay slurs in Atlanta.

Details of Martin's meeting with GLAAD are still be determined, the group said.

Nothing offensive about his tweet but i do find it funny when GLAAD tries to make black people understand their struggle. My thought on GLAAD is they're not allowed to go after us, because they always try to equate or make their fight seem more important than what our race has gone through

 

[quickflip]

but he never said anything wrong

This is why I dont take them seriously when they say their agenda is a Civil Rights issue.

but he never said anything wrong

Exactly.....Like I've been saying,they want to force their agenda down the American people's throat and yet you cant even joke about them because they will protest and want you fired

He didnt say nothing wrong and yet these muthafuckaz want him gone...And yet these muthafuckaz wanna say the N-word everytime they dont get their way...

I always thought GLAAD were people seeking revenge for being picked on in school.
Ask him if he'll tell another joke about gay people

They railroaded him over nothing...

Roland Martin kind of deserves this though. He went after Imus hard after he made the joke on the female basketball players....

 

[ClevelandDawg216]

that's a got-damn shame.

Duke better bring some vaseline and condoms just to be safe around those Gay-Loving-Ass-And-Dick motherfuckers!.

So he deserves to get suspended for something that never happened......

Roland will enter the Den of Faggits They owned him big time

Roland Martin Isnt very likeable all kinds of people were piling on even from FOX Glenn Beck called him an idiot.

Im not sure if he can recover from this one once they stymy you with the resident homophobe label it's a wrap you never know which undercover fag is waiting to stick a knife in your back.

 

[Chiyo]

Political correctness has no eyes fam. Once the invisible line has been created it can be crossed whenever someone feels you have crossed it.

He wanted it to be one way......but apparently its another.

 

[AgentCreed]

The gay mafia with their gay agenda is ruining playing a big role in ruining America.

[black again]

This is the first time I actually saw what he texted and how can he be in the media as long as he has and NOT know that is gonna get him in trouble? Dumb ass!

Both of his texts were clearly out of line and whereas some people may try to act like it wasn't a big deal, it was the kinda message ignorant thugs don't need to hear to fuel the hatred they already have against gays...

He prolly thought he was being funny, but he shoulda known better.

In this country, you don't fuck with(speak out against) gays, jews, animals...if ya do

 

[RoomService]

Fuck that fake ass nigga

 

[code_pirahna]

Roland Martin kind of deserves this though. He went after Imus hard after he made the joke on the female basketball players....

Um...On national TV at his job

"'Dem some Nappy Headed HOES"

vs. on Twitter off work

"If some guy at your party gets excited over the Beckum underwear ad..you should slap the ish out of him."

not equal

 

[RoomService]

If he was a real man he would tell glaad & CNN to kick rocks and step down..... But that nigga want that cheese.

 

[Mr. Met]

These cats need to stop bending to these fuckin' fags. The only reason they do is because their livelihood depends on them being overly P.C.
GLAAD and these other organizations know that they have people by the balls.

[Real2DaC0re]

Damn GLAAD is like the gay Avengers. They probably will pick him up in a black van and mask on. Take him to the homo hideout where Elton John is there wearing a gay ass ironman suit. I wonder who is playing gay ass Nick Fury?
