Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's Thursday, May eighteen, twenty twenty three. Coming up, Roland
Martin on Filter Streaming live on the Black Star Network.
A white Republican in North Carolina stands up and literally
asked one of the most racist questions to a black
lawmaker you've ever seen. We will talk to that brother

(00:22):
about the sheer stupidity and the bigotry that took place
yesterday on the floor in North Carolina and is not
a shot from the Republicans in that state. Also, chaos
on Capitol Hill where you have that crazy fool Jim
Jordan his committee weaponizing the FBI. Oh my god, you

(00:44):
want to see stupidity, We'll show you that level of stupidity. Also,
Marjorie Taylor Green and white supremacists get mad because she
got called at white supremacists. Now she's like, oh, the
big scary black man threatened me, lying high ass off.
As usual, we'll talk about Congressman Jamal Bowman uh and
Marjorie Taylor Green plush correction of Black Caucus had their

(01:04):
democracy something last week. Congressman Stephen and Horsford, chair the CBC,
will be joining us right here on the show. Bowman

Let's go.

(02:07):
He's he's built up.

Speaker 6 (02:09):
Question, He's.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
All right, y'all. Yo, long, I long told y'all about
the racist Republicans in North Carolina. I mean they have
done everything they came to talk about this disenfranchised and
degrade black people. But we saw yesterday again that racism
on display.

Speaker 5 (02:40):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
This took place just yesterday on the floor in North Carolina. Uh,
and folks talk about just utterly ridiculous. I'm just gonna
so I'm just gonna play this. Okay, this is Representative
Abraham Jones. He's interrupted by Jeff McNeely with this stupid watch.

(03:02):
Mister speaker, can I ask the representative question Representative Jones
as a German yield to a question from the general
from Aridy of represent McNeely.

Speaker 7 (03:11):
I absolutely will yield, Yes.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
He Representative Jones, I want to ask you. The question
is I understand that you went into the public school
and then you went to Harvard and Harvard Law. And
the question I guess is.

Speaker 8 (03:26):
Would you have been able to maybe achieve this if
you were not an athlete or a minority or any
of these things, but you were a student trapped in
a school that the slowest you know in the wild
will say, the slowest gazelle does not survive, but yet

(03:48):
the herd.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Moves at that pace.

Speaker 8 (03:51):
So the brightest child sometimes is held back.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
And don't point of order? Why Jimmy say this point
of order?

Speaker 9 (04:01):
Okay, I'm hoping I wouldn't only one that got shocked
by that comment that the only reason you went to
Harvard is because you were black and an athlete.

Speaker 8 (04:08):
I didn't I say that. I said, would that? Did
that end up being one of the reasons I do
not know that I asked him that.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
I asked him okay, all right, I don't mind answer.
Jem doesn't answer the question.

Speaker 10 (04:21):
Sorry, I was reading the note here, so I didn't
hear what.

Speaker 8 (04:23):
Was I apologize, and I'll reframe.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
That gentleman from our Dale was no longer recognized for
what Purposely from Wake represented Gil Rice represent John's you
still have the forest?

Speaker 10 (04:36):
Heard of debate kind of wrap up.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
German has fod to wrap up his remarks.

Speaker 11 (04:42):
I just say that, I'm just gonna say one thing.

Speaker 10 (04:52):
Harvard had five.

Speaker 11 (04:55):
Rankings for their students one, two, three, four, five, and
when I graduated from Harvard, I was in rank two.

Speaker 7 (05:03):
So I earned my place and I did well.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Now oooh, all right, y'all? Ooh okay. So later the

(05:30):
white races who asked the question released this statement, I
respect representing the Jones. I think he's a great legislator.
I think he's a great man. But I tried to
ask or say, did not come out right? That happens
a lot, and I apologize no time representing the Abe
Jones joins us right now from Raleigh represent John. When

(05:52):
this food says, oh it didn't come out right. That
happens a lot. No, no, no, it came out exactly
like you often say it, and we know exactly what happens,
because I think all of us have experienced that by
from some white biggots.

Speaker 11 (06:17):
You want me to respond, Oh, yes, go right ahead. Well,
mister McNeely shouldn't have said what he said, and I
took I was offended, and I let them know that
I went to Harvard, not on an athletic scholarship, as

(06:38):
was implied by a statement or because of my race.

Speaker 7 (06:41):
That went to Harvard based on my academic achievements.

Speaker 11 (06:44):
And I was ranked pretty high when I came out
of Harvard undergrad at Level two, which was right below
Level one, which was the highest level. And then I
went on to Harvard Law School. So I was simply
take an exception to him implying that I was simply

(07:05):
there because I was an athlete, and I was an athlete,
and that I was a minority.

Speaker 7 (07:11):
You know, I'm a minority. I'm a black man.

Speaker 11 (07:14):
But that's not what got me in and that's certainly
not what got me through and out and onto the
law school.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Well here's a deal. You don't have to justify or
explain the way anything. And look the reason I say,
we all been there. Look I've had. Look whenever i'm
flying on going somewhere and a lot of white folks
see me wearing Texas A and M gear, or they
see this Texas A and them ring I have on. Uh,
They'll sit here, uh and go uh did this out

(07:44):
a sorry? Oh?

Speaker 12 (07:45):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Did you play football? Hell no? I had one person say, uh,
do you have a child who plays there?

Speaker 13 (07:54):
Hell no?

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Then they ask are you a fan? No, dumb ass,
I'm a graduate. See a lot of when they see
somebody black going to a major school, it's oh, you
had to play sports. That had to be how you
got in.

Speaker 11 (08:13):
Yes, yes, and I did play a sports track cross country,
but that's not how I got in. In fact, I didn't.
I don't even think they knew that I was in
sports when I got in. I got in because I
was in the National Honor Society and I had a
very high average, and so they wanted me for my scholarship,

(08:40):
not because I was an athlete and not because I
was black. So that was the point I tried to make,
and I did make it clearly, and I resented what
was said. However, I did accept mister mcneelye's apology because
I felt I wanted to be just as gracious and.

Speaker 7 (09:02):
Forthcoming as he was.

Speaker 14 (09:04):
So I did.

Speaker 7 (09:05):
That was sincere. I accepted, he gave it, and I
won't judge it.

Speaker 11 (09:09):
I simply you said, I accepted because I wanted to
make it clear to my seat mates and my colleagues
that I was ready to move on.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
And I am. Well, Look, you ain't better than me.
I mean, I get the whole deal with accepting, but
let's be clear here, we're talking about a Republican Party
that has done a significant amount of work to disenfranchise
black folks. We have seen them with voter suppression. We
seen the voter I D We've seen them with racial

(09:39):
jerry mandery. We have seen them well Federal panel rule,
there was a laser like precision to target black folks
up when it comes to voting, in early voting, and
so it's not like the North Carolina Republican Party as
a friend to black people.

Speaker 7 (09:56):
I agree with you on that.

Speaker 11 (09:58):
I think it's been a bad environment here this year.
In particular, I think the more is to come. I
expect that there's going to be some voting requirements now
that the Supreme Court, which shifted from Democrat to Republican
in the last election in twenty twenty two will now
allow the legislature to set some rules about voter ID.

Speaker 7 (10:23):
And frankly, I'm ready waiting on the voter.

Speaker 11 (10:25):
ID requirements because I want the voter ID to be
free since we can no longer challenge it because of
Supreme Court. The Bate Supreme Court has sent it all
back to the state Supreme Court, and so we must
fight on and make sure that the voting privilege and
write of our people is protected. The atmosphere is now

(10:46):
there's just open season that they can put in these
requirements and we need to keep on struggling in the legislature.
We're in and we're in the minority, but doesn't mean
you don't have a voice and a vote, and I
planned exercise mind.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Were his fellow Republicans embarrassed.

Speaker 11 (11:04):
By what he said, Yes, I will say this, A
half dozen or more of them came to me privately
and expressed concern and apologize for him. Actually, so I
did appreciate that. Yes, they were somewhere, and I suspect
many were because go ahead, I'm sorry, no, and I

(11:30):
believe those were sincere and I took them as such.
It doesn't change the climate, doesn't change the problem. But
they did come to me and apologize in his behalf.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
It is the thing here is that, look, I say
this all the time. We're living in a social media
era where folks got the phones and everything. Many of
these bigotan folks showing us exactly who they are with
their comments. And frankly, I've said this that Donald Trump
has opened the door for these folks to say whatever

(12:04):
they want, do whatever they want, and that stuff that
they have been said privately, they now say publicly without
any blowback whatsoever. I also saw a tweet from the
head of the North Carolina Republican Party excuse me, Democratic Party,
who said, the last time this guy ran, he ran unopposed.
That's not going to happen next time. This, to me,
is part of the problem. Why you have Republicans with

(12:27):
a supermajority in North Carolina a supermajority in Tennessee is
because oftentimes they are running unopposed. In order to defeat
these people, they must face opposition every single election.

Speaker 7 (12:40):
I don't disagree with that.

Speaker 11 (12:41):
I think that's absolutely true, and we hope to feel
someone in every district next time. I will say out
in that area. However, when you drive through on the interstate,
by the main interstate forty, there's a big Confederate flag
that flies that maybe someone's proper property, but it kind

(13:01):
of sends a message to you that you're in a
different sort of country.

Speaker 7 (13:07):
And I'm not trying to.

Speaker 11 (13:08):
Say everyone there feels that way, but that certainly that's
flying by the highway.

Speaker 7 (13:13):
So but we still should fight, even.

Speaker 11 (13:16):
In districts where we may be outnumbered, to send a
message you just made. And I believe we will going forward,
and I hope we will.

Speaker 7 (13:24):
We fight.

Speaker 11 (13:25):
We have to stand up even when the numbers don't
favor us, because we do have a voice, and it
makes a difference because people like you will cover it
and it'll be covered, and I believe that.

Speaker 7 (13:38):
They have.

Speaker 11 (13:39):
I've ended my remarks this way. On another matter, the
wind if sown. You've heard that expression, you sow the win,
you reap the whirlwind. Well, the wind has been sown,
and the whirlwind's coming, and I believe that the whirlwind
will be in the form of our votes. And we
must continue to be vigilant and to be strong, and that's.

Speaker 7 (14:00):
What I planned to be.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
All right, then, a representive John to appreciate it. Thanks
a lot, Thank you. All right, I'll discuss it the
next of my panel. You're watching Roland Marton unfiltered right
here on the Blackstar Network.

Speaker 15 (14:15):
Hatred on the Streets, a horrific scene, a white nationalist
rally that descended into deadly violence soil.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
White people are losing their their man.

Speaker 9 (14:28):
As a mangrary pro Trump Mark storm to the US
Capital Show.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
We're about to see the lies where I call white
minority resistance. We have seen white folks in this country
who simply cannot tolerate black folks voting.

Speaker 16 (14:42):
I think what we're seeing is the inevitable result of
violent denial.

Speaker 6 (14:47):
This is part of American history.

Speaker 9 (14:48):
Every time that people of color have been in progress,
whether real or symbolic, there has been the Carol Anderson
that every university calls white rage.

Speaker 7 (14:57):
As a backlash is the writhe of a proud.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
Boy and the Boogaaloo boys America. There's going to be
more of this.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
There's all the problem, guys.

Speaker 17 (15:05):
This country just getting increasingly racist and its behaviors and
its attitudes because of the fear of white.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
People, the food that they're taking our jobs. They're taking
our resources, They're taking our women. This is white field.

Speaker 10 (15:35):
Black Star Network is a real revolutionary right now.

Speaker 13 (15:41):
Thank you for me and the voice of Black americonal
men that we have.

Speaker 10 (15:44):
Now we have to keep this going.

Speaker 12 (15:46):
The video of phenomenal is.

Speaker 18 (15:49):
Between Black Star Network and Black owned media and something
like seeing in.

Speaker 19 (15:54):
You can't be black owned media and be scared.

Speaker 7 (15:57):
It's time to be smart.

Speaker 10 (15:58):
Bring your eyeballs home, you dig.

Speaker 18 (16:05):
Hi.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
I'm Anthony Brown from Anthony Brown and Group. There. Hi, I'MVB. Whinings. Hey,
I'm Donnie Simpson. What's up? I'm Lance Gross and you're
watching Roland Martin Unfiltered. All right, y'all, welcome back my
pan on the Greg Car Dot, the Greg Car Department,
half of a Maker Studies, Howard University of joining Us

(16:27):
from d C Law, Victoria Burke, Black Press USA, all
into Virginia, doctor Abs Jones. We were political Analyst, National Horror. Maryland.
Glad to have all three of you here. Ain't no
way in Helle Avis, I would accept that bullshit apology.

Speaker 20 (16:44):
Ha ha me neither.

Speaker 21 (16:46):
He's bigger than all of us.

Speaker 22 (16:47):
I'm just gonna put it right on out there.

Speaker 20 (16:50):
But here is the thing that's interesting to me about
that observation from that.

Speaker 21 (16:55):
Person.

Speaker 20 (16:57):
A couple of things that I think is important that
people understand.

Speaker 22 (17:00):
It's been estimated that some forty three percent of the
white students on Harvard's campus got there through legacy admissions.

Speaker 20 (17:07):
Yep, So let's just put that out on front street.

Speaker 21 (17:11):
Okay.

Speaker 22 (17:12):
In terms of the percentage of black students on Harvard's
campus writ large, they hit a record number this year
of a whopping fifteen percent, Okay.

Speaker 20 (17:23):
And one is even if one were to say one
hundred percent of.

Speaker 22 (17:27):
Them were admitted via affirmative action, which, by the way,
I don't think there's anything wrong with the firmative action.

Speaker 20 (17:30):
That's the least that we can get given all that
we've given this country.

Speaker 22 (17:34):
But if you were to make the argument that one
hundred percent will admitted via affirmative action, that's fifteen percent
of the entire population versus forty three percent of the
people that are there. The white people that are there
did not get there based on their own merit, did
not get there based on their grade point averages, did.

Speaker 20 (17:51):
Not get there based on their own personal intelligence.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
They got there.

Speaker 22 (17:54):
Because their mama, their daddy, their grand daddy, their.

Speaker 20 (17:56):
Grandmama, somebody in their family line went there.

Speaker 22 (18:00):
So if we want to talk about unfair admission to
Harvard University, we need to look no further than the
white population.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
Absolutely. And the thing that just always cracks me up, Lauren,
is a lot of these white folks they automatically assumed that, oh,
you got in because of affirmative action, and they always
just operate as if they have impeccable credentials. Remember when
you had the girl I forgot, Sarah Mary whatever the

(18:31):
hell her name was, the Fisher girl who suoned the
University of Texas. She was mad because she blamed the
black Latino folks as the reason she couldn't get in. Well,
when they actually pulled the research, they showed it was
a whole bunch of white folks who had lower test
scores than her who got in. But they did more
stuff than just take a test. And again, this is
what they do. They see us and they automatically assume, yeah,

(18:55):
you're only in here because you played ball.

Speaker 21 (18:59):
Well, yeah, our construct is you can't be smarter than
we are.

Speaker 23 (19:02):
You remember Donald Trump was, you know, trying to in
some way insinuate that Barack Obama's Harvard degree was not legit,
which of course was all a bunch of nonsense. And
then meanwhile him his son in law, they're all legacy.
They got in because they you know, their last name.
Just to Avis's point, Abe.

Speaker 21 (19:22):
Jones was real chill there, real chill.

Speaker 23 (19:25):
My energy is the Robert Reeves guy that got up
and interrupted Neely.

Speaker 5 (19:30):
Right.

Speaker 23 (19:31):
Reeves gets up and interrupts neely and wants to go off,
and everybody tells him to calm down. I actually think
that with these things, we shouldn't calm down.

Speaker 5 (19:38):
You know.

Speaker 23 (19:38):
Donald Trump has made it fashionable again to be openly racist.
Donald Trump has made it fashionable again to say things
are outrageous right in front of everybody. And that is
part of what this is from. And I think the
other part of it is just that Rep. Neelie is
just a dumb, dumb you know. I don't think there's
anything much deeper than that, other than the obvious you
know idea and everybody's you know that that does these

(20:01):
types of things that you can't possibly be better than me,
and you can't possibly be smarter than I am, and
so there must be some other reason as to why
you're here.

Speaker 21 (20:10):
And you went to Harvard. Of course that sticks in
his craw that this guy went to Harvard.

Speaker 23 (20:13):
Why did this even come up in the first place?
But you were right rolling to tell him, to tell Rep. Jones,
you doesn't have to explain himself. You know, you don't
have to explain yourself to these people they want you,
you know, in this sort of defensive posture of having
to explain your credentials, you don't have to explain anything.

Speaker 21 (20:29):
That's all a bunch of nonsense.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Yeah. And the thing here, Greg, this happens in so
many areas, and then what happens is for a lot
of us. This is where the phrase imposture syndrome comes in,
where where we feel a need to again explain. One

(20:51):
of the best examples ever, Oh my god, he's an
attorney out of out of Chicago. Why is his name
escape to be right now? And oh my goodness, So
he's so my man is about five four five five.
I played golf with him. I can't believe his name
is escaped me. I'm a remember in the second So, uh,

(21:14):
he gets on the plane, he's in first class, and
so white guy sees him. Uh, and Peter Peter Bino,
Peter Bino white guy sees him and he goes, well,
you're not tall enough to play basketball, You're not big
enough to play football, So how you're in first class?

(21:36):
Oh my god, Now mind you. Peter is like a
two thousand dollars in our attorney. Peter was one of
the minority investors in the Denver Nuggets. A couple of
decades ago. Peter, without missing the big Greg says, I'm
the biggest drug deal in Chicago, pulls out his Wall

(21:59):
Street Journal, pops it, crosses his leg and starts reading it.
And the dude that's sitting there face is frozen, and
Peter didn't say nothing. For the rest of the flight.
Peter was not Bro. That's one of the best stories
I've ever heard, the like like, okay, you want to
why us in the first class? I'm about to scare

(22:21):
the hell out of you.

Speaker 18 (22:23):
That's the brother that memory serves me correctly. I've heard
the name in years.

Speaker 8 (22:27):
Bro.

Speaker 18 (22:27):
Let's just catch to wear the bow ties. Used to
wear the bow ties a lot. I think on Yeah,
the only better response to that would have been to
ignore him. I think asa here said this years ago.
He said a little boy was called into the principal's
office after he had scored a perfect score on a test,
and the principal asked, and the white principal asked, this

(22:48):
little black boy. You know, they say you're a genius.
What makes you think you're a genius? And little boy said, well,
maybe the fact that it never occurred to me that
I would ever answer question like that. You see, the
problem we see here is not Jeff McNeely, it's Abraham Jones. Brother.
You don't have as you try to tell this man,

(23:10):
you don't have to explain anything to him. But let's
just spend sixty seconds on Jeff McNeeley. Jeff McNeeley, who's
the president and owner of a feed company, GNM Milling Company,
founded in nineteen fifty seven, seven years before he was born.
Jeff McNeely a nineteen sixty four graduate, I'm sorry, nineteen
eighty six graduate of North Carolina State. His only degree,

(23:33):
by the way, because after that he went into the
family business. See, hey, this is right, doc, You right,
we're gonna talk about a firmtive action just five minutes,
because they aren't ready to get rid of affirmative action.
In the next couple of weeks, the Harvard case. They're
gonna get rid of it there in North Carolina. But
let's talk about what the real affirmative action is in
this country, which is white.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Is Jeff McNeeley.

Speaker 18 (23:50):
Jeff McNeely, who, after running the family business that he inherited,
there looking silly in his peewee herman get up. Jeff McNeely,
who then was put on the county Planning board. Served
for four years there in the county. He represents nan
Round for county commissioner and lost.

Speaker 10 (24:06):
So what happened?

Speaker 18 (24:07):
They raised him back on the county board for twelve
more years, then he ran for county commission finally in
one in twenty sixteen. Jeff McNee who's in the legislature
in North Carolina because the governor pointed him to replace
a retiring legislature a legislator in twenty nineteen. Jeff mcneelie
is the face of affirmative action. You know what affirmative
action is in this country? You said, today's whiteness. This

(24:31):
man when he asked that question, I would have completely
ignored him. But here's where we come down to the
real problem. Maybe the Supreme Court will endorse this independent
state legislature of business coming out of North Carolina and
more versus harbercase. Maybe they want now that they flipped
it thanks to this traitorous Democrat woman who's running as
a stealth Republican comes in and flips the legislature. But
the point is this, brother, you can't make them like you.

(24:55):
You can't answer a question, you can't be cordial, you
can't be gracious. These white boy's playing for keeps. You
need to run over Jeff McNeely with both tires. This
man is an absolute product of affirmative action and his
inherited business with his son now running it. By the way,
his vice president inherited his political seat that he finally
won after losing keeping in park at the county commission

(25:17):
so he could run again. He is the living definition
of affirmative action. Unless you're gonna say that to him,
the best thing you could have done, brother, is like
that little boy with the principal, just kept your mouth shut.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
I mean, look, I get the whole idea of this
is what his law makers they killed me with, the
whole collegial and you know, we get along, and you know,
the gentle, the gentle man, the gentle lady in all
of that. See that ain't me my man's petty. I'm patty.

(25:50):
I'm just letting you know I'm petty because see I
would have used my time to ask that clown look
an ass full pull a video of this this suit
he got on, I would have I would have straight
up no hols barred lit his ass up. I would

(26:12):
I would have said, representative, what's your mind? Pulling out
your high school transcript? I literally would have said, are
you sad and offended that you didn't have their credentials
to get into Harvard? That you had no choice? And

(26:34):
then I would have said, you know, I find it
interesting that you Republicans loved to complain about elite universities,
but you're wondering how I got into Harvard. I would
have been petty. I'm just letting y'all know. Rowe would
have been real petty, just like I was petty with
at Texas A and M. When with a speech communications

(26:56):
class and my topic was Affirmative Act and I got
real petty with the class. And I had some white
class mates, white boys and white girls, who did not
agree with it. And I said, let me ask you
a question to the students in the class. How many
of your mother's own businesses? So hands went up and

(27:17):
I said, I'm curious how many of your mothers have
contracts with school district, the city, the county, the state.
And with hands went up, I said, well, congratulations, all
of you are having your tuition paid by firmative action.

(27:38):
I said, because the greatest beneficiary of firm of action
white women. Then they all froze. No, no, no, no
no no. I said, facts or facts. I said, Now
you might want to thank black people, because the reality is,
I said, your white races from Virginia, they thought that
they could kill the sixty four civil rights at by

(28:00):
putting women into it, but that actually got the more votes.
I said, So it's really because of black people that
your mama got those contracts, because we're the ones who
actually fought forward. Because it was President Lyndon bangs Johnson
who gave the speech at Howard University where he talked
about taking affirmative action and said that's where it started.

(28:21):
Wasn't with Richard Nixon, of course, it was Arthur Fletcher
who came in on Nick's administration and moving forward, I said,
so all of y'all who are sitting in his class,
whose mamas health governmental contracts. You should be thinking black people,
because affirmative action is how your mama's got their money.

(28:42):
That's how petty I got and this is how we
see again, I am not I ain't explaining justifying nothing
to nobody. I ain't justifying nothing of black people. I
damn sure to go justify another to anybody white. You
not gonna sit here and question how did I achieve this?

(29:04):
How did I achieve that? I mean, I'm just not
going to do it, and you're not going to also
think that you can talk to me in a language
that I understand. Last point before I go to the break.
So the previous house I lived in ten thousand square
foot four and a half acres, and so we move in,

(29:26):
got my six nieces, and then in the driveway, you know,
shooting baskets and everything like that. So a white guy
next door decides to come by and be neighborly. And
let me be real clear with y'all, I don't like neighbors.
I don't want to talk I see people and talk
to people every day. I don't want to talk to
nobody when I get home. I just really don't some
of y'all mean like neighbors. I don't want to see nobody.

(29:46):
That's why he was four and a half acre. I
wish to damn thing was five acres with a big
ass fence. I don't want to see nobody. So he
just MOSI his ass over, and he decides to sit here,
and he's talking and he's talking, and I'm sitting here
like why is he talking to me? And so then
when my nieces walks over and says, hi, I'm so
and so I look at her like, did nobody ask
your last one?

Speaker 5 (30:06):
Here?

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Give your name? I'm like, go back. So, all of
a sudden, at one point that he goes, he starts describing. Now,
mind y'all. First of all, there were multiple million dollar
houses in this area. The house was a million, oile
was a million. Two. This fool goes, yeah, this is
a nice hood. Now I was tolerating his ass. If

(30:31):
y'all don't know me and my family staff could to
test to this. When I'm through with your ass, you
don't even exist. You could be standing here shouting you
don't exist to me. That's how many I got with homeboy.

(30:51):
At some point, you're going to understand when you're dealing
with bigots, You're dealing with people who think that's how
they're gonna talk to you. You don't give them any
of your energy. You actually make them feel so small
by either cussing them out, ignoring them, or making them
feel real petty. That dude to North Carolina absolutely was

(31:15):
a bigot with his statement, and he would have got
all of my pettiness. I'm just saying, gotta go to
a break, we come back. We were talking with congress
from Stephen Horsford Congressman Jamal Bowman, then with that white
supremacist of Marjorie Taylor Green, a lot of stuff to cover.
Then of course we got that other food Jim Jordan
on Hill or say cy Plaska, and to put his
ass in his place, y'all were gonna hold out the

Man?

Speaker 2 (32:35):
You got to stay on stage?

Speaker 11 (32:36):
And I was like a man, you know, I'm thinking there,
I'm good.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
And he was absolutely right. What what show was jail
at that? This was one on one got during that time,
and I'm show you so you're doing one on one
doing great, You're making money. You're like, I'm like, I
don't need to.

Speaker 24 (32:54):
I only need from you know, Wednesday, Thursday to Sunday.
You know, I just don't want to do that, you know,
it's just like I'm mina stay here, or I didn't
want to finish work Friday, fly out, go do a
gig Saturday Sunday.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
I was like, I don't have to do that, and
I lost a little bit of.

Speaker 13 (33:08):
That hunger that I had.

Speaker 12 (33:10):
In New York.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
I would hit all the clubs and run around.

Speaker 23 (33:13):
You know.

Speaker 24 (33:13):
Sometimes it's me in Chappelle or be in this one
or that one. We go to the comedy cellar one
in the morning, and I mean that was our life
and we loved it. You know, you do two shows
in Manhattan, go to Brooklyn, leave Brooklyn, go to Queens,
go to Jersey, and I kind of just I got complacent.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
But I was like, I got this money.

Speaker 13 (33:32):
I was good.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
I don't need to go.

Speaker 24 (33:34):
I don't need to go chase that because that money
wasn't at the same level that I was making. But
what I was missing was that training.

Speaker 7 (33:42):
Yes, that was that.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
And it wasn't the money.

Speaker 25 (33:44):
It was the money, you know, it was that.

Speaker 26 (33:46):
That's what I needed.

Speaker 27 (34:01):
Next, right here on the frequency, the woman they called
the Gifted Eye hip hop celebrity photographer Cory Soldier. She's
some master storyteller that captured the history of hip hop
through the lens of her camera.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Upac comes out. The next thing.

Speaker 13 (34:15):
You know, you didn't know who they were at first.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
You just seen all these dudes just.

Speaker 13 (34:20):
Come rushing the stage.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
Then you realize Biggy gets a bottle of champagne. He
pops it open, raised it on the crowd. He drenks
the bottle.

Speaker 27 (34:28):
Coy soldier, the hip hop celebrity photographer joining me right
here in the next episode of The Frequency on the
Black Star Network.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
So what's up? What's up? I'm doctor Ricky Villa, the
Choi Master al Peace World. What's going on in celeft?
Kingle barn b wile hem debon and you're watching Roland
Martin unfiltered? All right, folks shouts other folks, the Haitians.

(35:06):
Today is a Haiti flag day. Of course, my maternal
paternal ancestors migrated from here from Hades. Who want to
shout them out. That's why I'm rocking today's freedom shirt,
all right, y'all. And of course, of the previous outfit
at home, that was the fabric that I was giving
out in Liberia that had made here. All right, let's
talk about the sheer stupidity on Capitol Hill. All right,

(35:29):
these Republicans and their Weaponization Committee actually trying to act
like they had these two whistle blowers. Ooh, these FBI
whistle blowers complaining about how they've had security clearances taken
from them. Well, it's also because let's just say, they
were aligned with the January sixth by domestic terrorists. So

(35:53):
the Republicans interviewed them, did not share the information with
the Democrat and then got an attitude. And then one
of the witnesses was like, well, I don't want to
meet with Democrats. But then he's going to justify in
open court, and Jim Jordan's like, well, it's up to
the witness. The last time y'all heard, leave it up
to the witness to decide who should get their testimony. Well, Kyle,

(36:17):
what won't say Stacey Plastict, she wasn't having it.

Speaker 5 (36:24):
They give us the bare minimum notice for hearings, no
subject indicated. We learn who the hearing witnesses is from
British tabloids. That's not normal in the House of Representatives,
Man West, Wonder are Republicans scared of giving us the
information so that we can do our own due diligence

(36:46):
on these conspiracy theories, these ideas that they want to
put forward.

Speaker 28 (36:51):
Indeed, today's hearing will be more of the same.

Speaker 5 (36:55):
Perhaps they're too far gone to realize that, in fact,
this hearing is evidence, as if we need it anymore,
that maga Republicans are a threat to the rule of
law in America. Less than two months ago, former President Trump,
facing mounting investigations into his many alleged crimes, declared that quote,

(37:17):
Republicans in Congress should defund the DOJ in the FBI
until they can come to their senses. And we all
know that when Trump says jump, the Republicans in the
House say how high. So here we are on Police
Week watching House Republicans jump, delay the foundation to defund

(37:42):
law enforcement. My colleagues on the far right are on
a mission to attack, discredit, and ultimately dismantle the FBI.

Speaker 28 (37:52):
This is defund the police on steroids.

Speaker 5 (37:55):
As part of their mission, my colleagues are brought in
these former agents, men who lost their security clearances because
they were a threat to our national security, who out
of malice or ignorance or both, have put partisan agenda
above the oath they swore to serve this country and

(38:18):
protect its national security just as a point of order.
I understand, and we have been made aware from what
you stated in your opening statement as well as in
a press conference earlier, that mister Allen did meet with
you all and might have a testimony that was transcribed neither.

(38:39):
And I understand that he stated that he did not
feel comfortable meeting with the Democrats. He's comfortable being here
today in open, this open forum, we will.

Speaker 28 (38:48):
Be questioning him.

Speaker 5 (38:50):
Will you give us a copy of that testimony that
was transcribed of your discussions with him?

Speaker 2 (38:56):
Allen?

Speaker 28 (38:57):
But you are in possession of them, aren't you? Sure are?
So why would you not give them to us? Mister
Allen's a whistleblower. He didn't want that to happen. Well,
he didn't want.

Speaker 5 (39:03):
But he's comfortable here in open discussion with us today.

Speaker 28 (39:08):
Sure is, And you can ask him questions.

Speaker 16 (39:10):
You don't share your information with the minority wisdom that
they're not sharing information.

Speaker 14 (39:16):
The whistle whistleblower saw what you did with uh, mister
friend and others. The false information gave the press so
much of that issue corrections.

Speaker 7 (39:25):
The whistleblower doesn't decide that.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
The committee decides it.

Speaker 14 (39:28):
And we've decided and you've decided to share. Mister Allen
is here. You can ask him questions, we can, we
can talk about the testimony. But right now you're not
getting the testimony. Mister testify and.

Speaker 5 (39:38):
You'll give us the testimony when after he's left, or
at no point in time, or when will we have
that that's only for the Republicans?

Speaker 28 (39:45):
Is that what you're saying? Chairman? The gener lady did
not stay at the point of order.

Speaker 5 (39:49):
The point of order was will he'd be giving us
the testimony of the witness that is here before us,
and that you have information?

Speaker 28 (39:59):
I asked you not sharing with the chairman.

Speaker 13 (40:01):
I moved it.

Speaker 14 (40:02):
I was indulged in the ranking member, the gentleman from
California is right. She's not stating a point of order
the five minute questioning. So the point of order is
I would like the testimony. I move that you give
us the testimony of the individual here.

Speaker 28 (40:17):
There's much of men.

Speaker 14 (40:17):
Management moved the table.

Speaker 28 (40:19):
Uh, we will call.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
So loar on the thing here. These two so called whistleblowers,
former FBI agents Marcus Allen and Steve friend Well alan
security clearance was suspended because he was unwilling to comply
with rules and regulations.

Speaker 19 (40:38):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
And that's that's really what we're dealing with here. And look,
this is pretty much a joke from these Republicans.

Speaker 7 (40:47):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
They look the Democrats have been blasting them for their
sheer stupidity.

Speaker 7 (40:52):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
Debbie Wasserman shows this is what she had to say
to Jim Jordan. Uh, and these nutcase Republicans.

Speaker 14 (40:58):
Gairman, it's my understand what's what's what's your what's your
what your what do you is?

Speaker 28 (41:02):
You're making a point of order. No, I'm asking you
a question, Okay, a point of inquiry.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
Okay.

Speaker 29 (41:06):
It's my understanding that the minority in this committee, under
the rules, is entitled to the same testimony, information documents
that the majority is entitled to. So I mean, I'm
not I'm not aware that you're able to withhold information
from the minority that we would need to use to
prepare for when.

Speaker 28 (41:26):
It comes to whistleblowers.

Speaker 13 (41:27):
You're not.

Speaker 14 (41:27):
And I would just I would just remind the kids
to remind everyone. Look, when it comes to whistle blowers,
you're not.

Speaker 13 (41:32):
That's not right.

Speaker 28 (41:34):
It's it's shocking that the just not right.

Speaker 13 (41:36):
It's shocking that the gentleman so much about the whistleblower.

Speaker 14 (41:39):
And it's shocking that the gentleman, from the information we
had when you were part of the investigation.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
German people at once regular orders.

Speaker 14 (41:52):
I recognizes I'm inquiring and I was not. I've told
you that when it comes to whistleblowers, you.

Speaker 28 (41:58):
Were not entitled to it.

Speaker 29 (41:59):
That an individuestion of mister Allen. These individuals have been
determined whistle blowers. These are not whistleblowers. They've been determined
by the agency not to be whistleblowers. Are you deciding
that they're whistleblowers?

Speaker 14 (42:12):
Yes, the law decides. Did you not listen to mister
Levitt's testimony?

Speaker 28 (42:15):
Do you not read the law? The law, attorney.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
From the law.

Speaker 28 (42:23):
Has been recognized, the law.

Speaker 5 (42:24):
Has not determined their whistleblowers. His attorney is just asserting that.

Speaker 23 (42:36):
You know where to begin. Really, uh So, this is
just sort of complete clown time. What you're watching is
a major Democratic party devolve into just a circus of
stupidity and clownery.

Speaker 21 (42:49):
Uh Jim Jordan is just the second coming of Trey Goudi.

Speaker 23 (42:53):
Trey Goudy who ran that complete bs ben Ghazi nonsense
to distract everybody. This is all of about making YouTube
videos so that we can send a fundraising letter out later.
So to make a YouTube video, you have to set
up an idiot construct of something to get people outraged
to get your fundraising, you know, going, And so you

(43:14):
create this nonsense, you do a video. That's what they're
doing with these hearings now every single time. They used
to do with Eric Holder all the time, and it's
just out in the open. It's just really just out
in the open. I was an intern on Capitol Hill
back in the nineties. I cannot remember any sort of
example of this that I've ever seen where the minority

(43:36):
or the majority does not share the information. That's usually
a standard committee rule for every committee in Congress. There's
nothing exciting or crazy about that, you know, imagine, you know,
remember during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, there was this big
outrage about a letter that Senator Feinstein had that Charles
Grassley didn't see, and the Republicans flipped out because they

(43:57):
didn't have that letter.

Speaker 13 (43:58):
And all of this.

Speaker 23 (44:00):
But what's really happening here is that Jim Jordan, of course,
doesn't want to give the minority, the Democrats the information
because of course they're going to go to the press
and say this is ridiculous, because it is ridiculous, and
then the press will be that more, much far further
ahead in reporting how ridiculous it is. So to pull
off the nonsense, to pull off the ridiculousness, you've got
to walk into the committee with nobody knowing nothing, and

(44:23):
then surprise everybody and get everybody off guard, and nobody
is fooled. Jim Jordan is a silly person. Everybody knows
he's a silly person. And you can't be this stupid
and thiss crazy and get away with it in the
open air and think you're fooling anybody. They're not fooling anybody.
They're just wasting time. They're creating segments for Fox News,

(44:44):
they're creating YouTube videos and then moving on to the
next thing and thinking that people are fooled and they're
just not.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
Again, this is what happens, greg when folk want don't vote,
allowing these fools to get back in power. It's also
what happens when you have Democrats in New York State
who are stupid as hell, who jerry mandered their district
so bad that they have a Supreme court rules against them.

(45:11):
But that's also what happens when we have stupid Democrats
who appoint Republicans to your state Supreme Court who issue
those rulings. But these people are not ready for prime time.
But people need to understand if they think that this
is light work, let that food Trump get back into
the Oval office and see what happens.

Speaker 18 (45:34):
Roland, I mean is the age old dilemma, isn't it.
This is what you've been preaching for years and throwing
your full body and full resources in getting people involved.
When Cliff and LaTosha talked about the fact that black
voting matters, that people should participate and need to work
hard at that, this is what they mean. A couple

(45:56):
of weeks ago on the Black Table, we had had
a conversation with David Pepper, who used to be the
head of the Ohio Democratic Party wrote a well called
Laboratories of Autocracy, and he talks about that food that
we just saw. Jim Jordan spelled gym of course as
people in Columbus, Ohio at Ohiso University who that blind
eye Hillbilly is. And he talks about the fact that

(46:18):
voter turnout is what allows this food to continue to
come back to the federal legislature and fight, arguably to
be the dumbest member of the federal legislature since the
beginning of the damn the United States Congress. But it's
the voter turnout people need to wash them away. I
just came back to Philadelphia last week. Voter turnout in
the Democratic primary for mayor was abysmal. And you know,

(46:39):
we saw what happened to Gary Chambers in Louisiana. And
we all know I mean Mike gapsi in in Louisian
I'm sorry Mississippi, of course, and a young Dann camera
now we've got to be beset with him in a
potential governor battle with Andy Sheering Kentucky. When you don't,
when you stay home, this is what happens. And you know,
we're talking about people who have the ability to rule

(47:02):
over our lives. As Lauren said, as you said, I mean,
this man doesn't pass any legislation. He's he's a fool.
He's there raising money and you can't beat him with
logic because the hill billy fishness is what they love.
And finally, I say this, on the day that we
saw Nancy Aboodoo appointed to the Eleventh Circuit Court of
Appeals and put it now to six to six tie
after Donald Trump flipped it with those Republican appointees. Joe

(47:24):
Mansion flipped and didn't vote for her today And when
people say, well, none of this matters and stuff doesn't matter.
If people had turned out, you wouldn't have to sweat
Joe Mansion in Christian cinema in the United States Congress,
and you wouldn't have to worry about whether Diane Feinstein
has another ten years or ten minutes left in her life.
The fact that matter is when you don't go to
the polls. This is the kind of foolishness we have

(47:46):
to put up with.

Speaker 2 (47:48):
Oh absolutely, and Avis, you see how these right wing
FBI agents they all have infiltrated law enforcement, and the
look these Republicans, we see what they're actually doing, and
all of a sudden they want to yell, defund the FBI,
defund the ATF. And I'm like, Democrats beat them over

(48:11):
the head with that one.

Speaker 22 (48:14):
Yes, they you know, if Democrats had a backbone, they would,
I mean, let's just that's what's so frustrating to me,
is that is such easy pickings, such low hanging fruit to,
you know, point out the ridiculous hypocrisy of that of
individuals who obviously can't come up with an original thought
to save their lives using the same rhetoric that they

(48:38):
pummeled Democrats with earlier with regards to a legitimate issue
of police brutality against black people. But at the end
of the day, what we're seeing right now on Capitol
Hill and what we will see as long as they
have power, you know, hopefully something will change in the
next election, is this is just a clown show.

Speaker 12 (49:02):
Bring up the popcorn.

Speaker 22 (49:04):
This is Ringlin Brothers, Barlin and mcbailey in the People's
House because there is no desire there to pass any legislation.
The Republicans don't give a damn about actually.

Speaker 21 (49:15):
Doing their damn jobs.

Speaker 22 (49:17):
They don't give a damn about that, they don't give
a damn about the people.

Speaker 20 (49:20):
They even represent. They really don't care.

Speaker 22 (49:23):
What they want to do, as Lauren rightly pointed out,
is to use this as a fundra raising mechanism so
they can stay in power. And what they're trying to
do is stay in power long enough. They're hoping to
be able to retake the White House such that now
they can push through more legislation that would be even

(49:45):
more draconian than what they got through when Trump was
in last time. Their whole point right now is to
stall the reels of progress, because the first two years
of President Biden's administration, we.

Speaker 18 (50:00):
Actually got a lot done.

Speaker 21 (50:01):
Even though most people.

Speaker 13 (50:01):
Don't really know about what happened.

Speaker 22 (50:03):
A lot happened, okay, And their whole point right now
is to gum up the system and to put on
side shows and clown shows and actually make clips and
fundraising mechanisms so they can stay in power.

Speaker 20 (50:15):
So congratulations, that's what you get once again.

Speaker 21 (50:17):
When you don't vote, there you go.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
You get a clown show. All right, folks, we'll be back.

has been missing from Fort Pierce, Florida, since May ninth.
The fifteen year old is five feet five inches tall,
weighs one hundred and thirty pounds, with black hair and
brown eyes. Zakira has several piercings in her nose, tongue,
and ears. Anyone with information about Zecura Carter she'd call
the Fort Pierce, Florida Police Department. Seven seven two four
six seven six eight zero zero seven seven two four

(53:04):
six seven six eight zero zero. A Springfield, Missouri teacher
is out of a job after be recorded using the
inn word repeatedly in her classroom. A student actually recorded this.
This is what was recorded. It's a word at all,
But I don't know.

Speaker 9 (53:21):
It feels like when when a black person is using
it towards another black person.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
It's the same. How is it not?

Speaker 7 (53:28):
Still?

Speaker 2 (53:30):
But you don't.

Speaker 10 (53:33):
I don't know, I don't know, I don't get it.

Speaker 28 (53:35):
I mean.

Speaker 19 (53:38):
That.

Speaker 2 (53:45):
And this is the word you're not allowed to say
right now as a teacher. If you want to keep
your job, this isn't But I'm not calling you one.

Speaker 6 (53:54):
No, I understands.

Speaker 13 (54:00):
Now.

Speaker 2 (54:04):
Now, the identify Glendale High School teacher was recorded again
saying the end were repeatedly in the classroom. The teacher
noticed fifteen year old sophomore Mary Walton recording and asked
her to stop recording. She was suspended for using her
phone in class. Now, Walton's family retained an attorney to
try and get the suspension lifted. The teacher, who was
initially placed on leave, resign. The Glendale High School principal,

(54:27):
Josh Rose Sentinili to staff and the families, addressing the
language used by the teacher. This is what he wrote, quote,
we know a Glendale teacher using offensive derogatory language during
class today. If video of the comment is being circulated
and we have received several calls from concerned parents, I
want you to know that the comments expressed in the
video are inappropriate, excuseable, and do not meet the professional

(54:48):
standards for Springfield Public School employees. Now I've heard other
folks have debates and conversations here Greg that this was
actually a teaching exercise, and so one your take on this,
and can there actually be a teaching exercise where the

(55:11):
word is used?

Speaker 18 (55:14):
I think so. But context is everything, yep. First of all,
let me just say very quickly that you know, the
young person who recorded it was suspended for three days,
and when you read the policy of that school district,
it seems very clear that they don't want anything recorded,
and so there's a problem there. The family apparently has

(55:35):
retained counsel to try to get that suspension reverse and
then they got to go into their pockets for money.
You know, schools in prisons are two places where the
First Amendment doesn't necessarily operate the way it does and
the rest of the world, and that's problematic. I wanted
to say that first of all. But Roland, I tell you, man,
I mean, you know, on the one hand, you have
folks with the N word in literature, whether it be

(55:57):
Mark Twain or Tony Morrison, whether you be a Mary
Baracca or Tony cave Bombara, you know, whether it be
you name it now, if you're doing read aloud in class,
I mean, you're not going to probably do that at
the middle school level or at the elementary school level,
But what do you do with an eighth or ninth
grade classroom? You know, what do you do in a
situation where it is in the literature? Now, if you

(56:19):
are a teacher. Finally, what do you do when a
student uses that word? As we probably all know and
have heard in the class in the hallways, that word
often flies with reckless abandon. What do you do when
it comes out of the mouth of a young person
of African descent or a non person of African descent,
and everybody starts giggling, and then you come in and
say you can't use that. Finally, as an adult in

(56:41):
the classroom, if you're a teacher, I don't think it's
ever appropriate for you to use the word in a
kind of bannering free way. But what I heard on
that tape, what I heard on that recording was a
teacher who shouldn't have used the word, but whose defense
may very well be. We were having a free ranging
conversation about the words usage, and that becomes a great

(57:05):
area that sometimes is very difficult to parts. Jacq Berlinibal
wrote a book called classroom confidential, and he said they're
often very unfortunate things.

Speaker 7 (57:14):
Said in a classroom.

Speaker 18 (57:15):
But depending on the context and the intent, it could
be that the intent was not to be racist, but
to push a dialogue. I'm not defending the teacher. I'm
just saying that that's a call that is a teacher.
I tried very hard not to everybody put myself in
a position to try to make avis.

Speaker 22 (57:35):
It seemed to me as if it was very clear
that he was offending the black students in that room,
and it really came off to me that this is
another one of those arguments that you hear oftentimes by
what I find to be racist white people, in which
they want to have this argument about why can't I
say it okay. That's the feeling that I got from

(58:00):
the energy around him when he.

Speaker 21 (58:03):
Didn't know he was being videoed.

Speaker 22 (58:06):
I would also say that I find the statement from
the school to be disingenuous, because if it was really
a counter to their policy, they would have fired him
instead of just in essence, giving him a couple of
days off and suspending the student who did what she
did to collect the evidence that she needed in order
to prove what was happening in that classroom, which.

Speaker 20 (58:27):
She found to be offensive, And so, you know, I
have to say that I just believe this is.

Speaker 22 (58:35):
An example of the fact that our culture is continuing to.

Speaker 20 (58:40):
Get more and more and more overtly racist.

Speaker 22 (58:45):
People feel completely racist, not even people racist, feel completely
comfortable saying whatever the hell they want to say in
this society. And this is just the latest example of this.
And if there needs to be if this is against
the rule of the school, the school should have fired them.
And so my next question is, you know, I'm wondering

(59:05):
what they're going to do if something like that happens
in the future.

Speaker 23 (59:08):
Lauren, Yeah, I think we're way oversensitive about everything, and
in an academic setting, I think that's hugely problematic. And
I think that the context that he was talking about
it was the context of when and where it's appropriate
and when someone's using it and not using it.

Speaker 21 (59:28):
To Avis's point, sure, some of that was the discussion.

Speaker 23 (59:31):
Around the why can't we use it, which is a
ridiculous discussion, But I think not just with this story,
we see it in a lot of academic stories lately
over the last maybe three or four years, where just
having a discussion about something is in itself problematic for
a lot of the folks in the room who are

(59:52):
the students, and to me, to have a full fledged
academic discussion about something, particularly controversial issues that may come
up in litter cure in history, you have to be
able to talk about.

Speaker 12 (01:00:02):
Things and here are things you may not want to hear.

Speaker 23 (01:00:05):
And I think increasingly we have a very oversensitive group
of people out there who tend to be a little
bit younger. It's like we're back in the Victorian era
with some of them who are just sensitive about everything
that comes up. Things that they don't want to hear,
that they disagree with, They do not want to hear,
even in an academic setting.

Speaker 21 (01:00:26):
And I have a problem with that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
All right, folks, ho type one second, and when we
come back, we'll talk with Congressman Stephen Horsford, who has
chaired the Congression of Black Caucus, about the democracy some
of the they held last week. What is their plan
for this summer? He will explain. Also, we joined this
hour by Congressman Jamal Bowman. Ooh Marjorie Taylor Green, who
she a little upset because he called her white supremacist.

(01:00:50):
He wasn't lying. What discussadax? You're watching Rolling Back Unfiltered
on the blackstudn Network.

Speaker 32 (01:00:58):
On the next Get with Me, Deborah Owens, America's Wealth Coach.
Nurses are the backbone of the healthcare industry, and yet
only seven percent of them are black. What's the reason
for that low number, Well, a lack of opportunities and
growth in their profession. Joining us on the next Get

(01:01:19):
Wealthy is Needy Barnanilli. She's gonna be sharing exactly what
nurses need to do and what approach they need to
take to take ownership of their success.

Speaker 33 (01:01:30):
So the Blackness Collaborative really spawned from a place and
a desire to create opportunities to uplift each other, those
of us in a profession to also look and reach back,
and they kin and create pipelines and opportunities for other
nurses like us.

Speaker 32 (01:01:45):
That's right here on Get Wealthy only on Black Star Network.

Speaker 26 (01:01:55):
I'm alright for Muhammed live from La and this is
the coach. The culture is a two way conversation, you
and me. We talk about the stories, politics, the good,
the bad, to the downright ugly. So join our community
every day at three pm and let your voice be heard. Hey,
we're all in this together, so let's talk about it

(01:02:17):
and see what kind of trouble we can get into.
It's The Culture week days at three only on the
Black Star Network.

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
Kim Whitley, Yo, what's up to boy Ice Cube? Hey? O,
peace World? What's going on? Is se left King of
RB hile hee divide and you're watching Rodard Martin unfiltered.

(01:03:12):
Last week, the Congression of Black Caucus held a Democracy
and Race Summon on Capitol Hill to discuss the ongoing
attacks on democracy by the Republican Party. The CBC unveil
a number of legislative and legal plans to present in
Congress that would recommend executive orders to the Biden Harrison
administration to protect democracy and launch what they're calling the
Summer of Action to Defend America round than the sixteth

(01:03:36):
anniversary of the March in Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
Joining us right now is Congressman Stephen Horsford. He is
the chair the Congression of Black Caucus's foundation. He hails
from Nevada, and yes he is wearing the black and
old go of Alpha Phai Alpha Fraternity Incorporated. All right,
cons glad to have you on the show. So this

(01:03:59):
summit talk about the legislative ideas that y'all want to
present to the Biden Hairs administration.

Speaker 6 (01:04:07):
Well, great to see you, Thank you for having me
on Roland. The Congressional Black Caucus and our members which
were now in our fifty first year, we have fifty
eight members. It's the largest number in our history, and
as the Conscience of the Congress, we understand that in
critical moments like this, when our democracy and the fundamental institutions,

(01:04:30):
whether it be the courts, our schools, and the institution
of voting, are underattack, we felt it was important to
have a national convening where we brought in over eighty
participants from around the country, leaders from civil rights organizations,
academics represented us from D nine as well as historically

(01:04:54):
black colleges and universities in order to develop a strategy,
a message, and our plan. What we know is the
ideologically driven Supreme Court is on track to a road
even more of our rights with the Voting Rights Act
and decisions regarding affirmative action, which could have far reaching

(01:05:15):
effects on all types of racial based policy, not only
in higher education, but in contracting and in so many
other areas, and so we did this convening one to
help make sure all of our major stakeholders who are
vested in protecting our democracy are on the same page

(01:05:38):
and are getting the same information. That we develop this
strategy around legislation, litigation, and mobilization so that we can
go out and talk to our constituents this summer about
the critical issues that are affecting their lives every single day.

Speaker 2 (01:05:54):
So you talk about this summer, what is that going
to look like? What is it going to entail.

Speaker 6 (01:06:00):
Excited about this? In partnership with the Congressional Black Caucus Institute,
the CBC will be doing really a summer of action
all across the country. Our members, in partnership with local
elected officials, black mayors, black county execs, black state legislators,
as well as other stakeholders, will be meeting and convening

(01:06:21):
in different communities. We're going to start in Charleston, South Carolina,
of course, with mister Jim Cliburn. The end of this
month will be in Nashville with Representatives Justin Jones and
Justin Pearson to bring attention to the expulsion of those
two young men and their special elections that are upcoming.
We're going to go to places like North Carolina where

(01:06:42):
the Supreme Court they're just announced racial based Jerry Manderin.
And we're going to go into places like Florida and
Texas where there are attacks on blackness, on being black,
not only against our colleague, Representative Jamal Bowman, but on
the roating of black history, banning of black books, and

(01:07:04):
denying of the very existence of black people. So we're
taking this issue directly to our people to galvanize the
movement and to make sure they know the work that
the Congressional Black Caucus is doing every single day in
the House of Representatives.

Speaker 2 (01:07:20):
Okay, will are these events going to be live streamed?
Will people be able to watch proceedings?

Speaker 6 (01:07:28):
Absolutely? And look forward to partnering with you and other
media outlets to make sure that folks can participate and engage.
We're going to do this locally. This is not something
the CBC is coming in and doing two communities. We're
partnering with communities. So in some cases we'll be doing roundtables,
in other places we'll be doing town halls or rallies.

(01:07:51):
We're going into Chicago in the early parts of June
with Representative Robin Kelly, and we're going to make sure
that there's always a seat at the table for young people,
particularly young black men, to have their voice heard in
this processes we work to defend our democracy and to

(01:08:11):
make sure people know what we're fighting for. The Supreme
Court may very well try to erode additional protections under
Section two of the Voting Rights Act, but that doesn't
mean that we still don't have power to make sure
that our voice is heard at the ballot box. There
may be attempts to weaken protections against discrimination or racism

(01:08:33):
because of the decision around a permative action, and we've
seen again the attacks on blackness in places like Tennessee.
But we're not going to be silent. We're going to
bring our voices to this fight and make sure that
our constituents are heard in the process.

Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
Questions for the panel ams First, Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:08:54):
What do you see as.

Speaker 22 (01:08:57):
Your desired outcome your takeaway from the summer of action
that you're planning.

Speaker 6 (01:09:04):
Well, most importantly it is to galnize the movement which
is led by the people every single day in our communities.
Learning from the experience of the Dobs decision, the fact
that that decision when it was announced, actually leaked by
the Supreme Court, a lot of people didn't know what
to do. There was no plan, there was no strategy,

(01:09:25):
there was not a message. And so the Congressional Black Caucus,
in partnership with the CBC Institute and other partners, understands
it's important for us to be proactive to give people
accurate and real time information as these decisions are coming down,
and not only to focus on what the Supreme Court

(01:09:45):
is doing, but also to talk about happening in states
like Tennessee, like Florida, like North Carolina, like South Carolina,
and to make sure people know what their power is
in helping to change it. The reason that Representative Justin
Jones and Representative Pearson were able to be reappointed to

(01:10:06):
their position that they should have never lost is because
of the galvanizing support from the community on their behalf.
And we want everyone to know that the Congressional Black
Caucus stands with them, and we stand with every community
that is under attack, because our democracy is under attack,
our very existence and survival as black people is under attack,

(01:10:29):
and we're not going to be silent about about it.

Speaker 21 (01:10:32):
Marn Chairman Horsford, great seeing you.

Speaker 23 (01:10:38):
So the meeting that you had last week, the staff,
the senior staff, was not in the meeting.

Speaker 21 (01:10:43):
So I'm curious.

Speaker 23 (01:10:44):
I guess I'm asking this as a former congressional staffer,
I'm curious like why that was, because typically when the
staff is not in the room, all the after action
planning doesn't get done because the staff needs to be
there to know what that after action planning is. So
I guess I'm asking two things. One why keep the

(01:11:05):
staff out? And two what exactly is the plan?

Speaker 21 (01:11:07):
It sounds a.

Speaker 23 (01:11:08):
Little bit performative to me. Push back on me if
you want to on that, but it sounds a little
bit like a pr thing when you talk about the
two justins et cetera. So on is it a legislative
plan or is it just an amplification plan? And is
the staff going to be involved in that moving forward?

Speaker 12 (01:11:25):
Thanks a lot.

Speaker 6 (01:11:27):
Of course, one great questions, And there were staff in
the room. To be clear, the Congressional Black Caucus is
fully staffed and they were participants throughout the entire day,
and they're the ones who will actually make sure that
all of the CBC staff.

Speaker 34 (01:11:44):
And our partner affiliate agencies, the Institute, the Foundation, and
our other organizations are.

Speaker 6 (01:11:49):
Working hand in hand. There are more details about the
work that we're doing with Summer of Action. Because of
compliance and.

Speaker 25 (01:11:56):
Ethics approval, I have to be careful about what I
am now, but I will tell you this, it is
not performative.

Speaker 6 (01:12:02):
In fact, we're working to develop boot camp organizing in
every community that we go to, in partnership with those
elected officials and the Congressional Black Caucus member. For example,
as you know, we have an annual boot camp where
we bring organizers from across the country into d C.

(01:12:24):
We're going to take that same model and embed it
in individual communities. Why because we don't want this to
just be a one off event one day. We actually
want to seed and invest in the community with organizers
who can help keep the work going around voting, around
protecting our schools and our children's right to an education,

(01:12:48):
making sure that people know what their rights are around
voting and the decisions that are coming down either by
the US Supreme Court, state legislatures, or other local bodies
like school boards. So this is absolutely about the work
on the ground that's necessary, and it's being led by
our members in partnerships with a lot of other organizations.

Speaker 18 (01:13:11):
Greg, thank you, thank you, thank you Roland, and thank
you brother Chairman. Good to see you frat a couple
of things. I looked at the principal guests and attendance,
and I didn't maybe I missed, and I'm sure maybe
with somebody in the room, perhaps academic who came from HBCUs.
But since obviously a lot of is work's going to
be taking place behind the cotton curtain, I would just

(01:13:33):
encouraged you as folks going to those southern states in particular,
to draw on the academic expertise and kicking on the
notion of exclusion of history and all this on not
only k twelve folk in those cities and in those places,
but in that HBCU faculty, which as far as I'm concerned,
is the great untapped resources. And among those attendees, I
saw several friends of mine who are really not connected

(01:13:55):
with those folks. So on the same academics seem to
be getting back to the meeting, But that han't that
in mind. I want to ask, just follow up with
what Lauren asked, legislation, litigation and mobilization in that framework,
how do you see this differing from previous iterations and work.
We know that the you know, we beat the bushes
out there organized and trying to get the voter turnout

(01:14:17):
hasn't It hasn't served. What can we learn from previous
iterations of the CBC I'm thinking about now, the nineteen
sixties and seventies, you know, what can we learn from
that and apply that today so that this might be
different than the last cycles that we've tried to really
kind of get folk together to fight back.

Speaker 1 (01:14:38):
That's good to see you.

Speaker 6 (01:14:39):
Two things, the summit was just an initial meeting, and while.

Speaker 35 (01:14:44):
We did do the best that.

Speaker 6 (01:14:46):
We could to invite as many people into the process,
I'm sure there other people that should have been in
the room, and we'll work hard to make sure we
continue to improve that in the future. But let me
also say, you know, we heard from representatives from Professor
Kimberly Krishaw, we have former Attorney General Eric Holder, our

(01:15:08):
own members that we're providing updates on the legislation that
we've already been working on around voting rights, around preservation
of black history, and their efforts to make sure that
we are protecting.

Speaker 28 (01:15:23):
These these fundamental rights.

Speaker 34 (01:15:25):
And as you said, we have to work with our
HBCUs in the local communities in partnership in some of
the Summer of Action activities, we will actually be.

Speaker 6 (01:15:35):
Doing AGUS and we do it in partnership with professors
and they know they are part of the process.

Speaker 25 (01:15:44):
So thank you for that instruction and critique. Always open
to receive input, as Roland knows my job, and I'm
going to answer your last question by saying.

Speaker 35 (01:15:55):
This, it is our this generation.

Speaker 25 (01:15:58):
It's our turn to carry the baton. It's the generations
before that we're able to get the voting right, civil
rights that if they're Housing Act approved, and now it's our.

Speaker 6 (01:16:11):
Generation to make sure not only do we preserve those.

Speaker 25 (01:16:14):
Rights, but that we advance and enhanced them going forward.
We know that they're under attacked.

Speaker 35 (01:16:19):
Blackness is under attacked our.

Speaker 25 (01:16:21):
Very existence and survival as a people, whether that's from
gun violence, from police brutality, from poor economic conditions. And
that is why the rational black.

Speaker 35 (01:16:34):
So it advanced.

Speaker 36 (01:16:37):
And it's uh.

Speaker 25 (01:16:41):
Right, these free are and we carry it to the
next generation.

Speaker 2 (01:16:47):
All right, Congre Stephen horseb We sally appreciate it. Thanks
a bunch, look forward to seeing what is next. Thanks
a lot, folks. Going to a quick break and we
come back cons with Jamal Bow responds to that nutcase
Marjorie Taylor Green and says he called me a wife supremacist.
That's as bad as being called the N word girl

(01:17:08):
by I'll be back.

Speaker 18 (01:17:14):
Next on the Black Table with me, Greg Carr. Democracy
in the United States is undeceased on this list of
bad actors. It's easy to point out the Donald Trumps,
the Marjorie Taylor Greens, or even the United States Supreme
Court as the primary dealers. But as David Pepper, author, scholar,
and former politician himself says, there's another factor that trumps

(01:17:36):
them all and resides much closer to many of our homes.
His book is Laboratories of Autocris, a wake up call
from behind the lines.

Speaker 16 (01:17:48):
So these state houses get hijacked by the far right,
then they jerry mander, they suppress the opposition, and that
allows them to legislate in a way that doesn't reflect
the people.

Speaker 7 (01:18:00):
Well that stay.

Speaker 18 (01:18:00):
David Pepper joins us on the next Black Tape here
on the Black Star Network.

Speaker 27 (01:18:10):
Next right here on the frequency, the woman they called
the Gifted Eye, hip hop celebrity photographer Cory Soldier. She's
some massive storyteller that captured the history of.

Speaker 21 (01:18:20):
Hip hop through the lens of her camera.

Speaker 1 (01:18:22):
Tupac comes out the next thing.

Speaker 13 (01:18:24):
You know, you didn't know who they were at first.

Speaker 1 (01:18:27):
You just seen all these dudes just come rushing the stage.
Then you realize Bigger gets a bottle of champagne. He
pops it open, raised it on the crowd. He streached the.

Speaker 27 (01:18:37):
Bottle coy Soldier, the hip hop celebrity photographer joining me
right here in the next episode of The Frequency on
the Blackstar Network.

Speaker 2 (01:18:49):
My name is Charlie Wilson.

Speaker 20 (01:18:50):
Hi, I'm Sally Richardson Whitfield, and I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:18:52):
Dodding with everybody.

Speaker 30 (01:18:53):
This man friend Hammon, and you're watching Roland Martin my
man unfiltered.

Speaker 2 (01:19:06):
All right, folks. Yesterday, after Republicans blocked a bill that
would expel George Santos, that lion Food went on the
steps of the Capitol held news conference and then he
was followed by the other liar, Majorie Taylor Green and
conference in Jamal Bowman. Let's you say he had a
few words for both of those idiots on the steps
there were Green she was just so offended that Sheila

(01:19:30):
news conference today and ooh, just the white tears were flowing.

Speaker 37 (01:19:36):
Had to have so much security.

Speaker 2 (01:19:37):
There was not enough.

Speaker 28 (01:19:38):
I was swarmed.

Speaker 37 (01:19:38):
It's all on video. Everyone can see this. But I
will tell you what's on video is Jamal Bowman shouting
at the top of his lungs, cursing, calling me a
horrible calling me a white supremacist, which I take great
offense to. That is like calling a person of color
the N word, which should never happen. Calling me a
white supremacist is equal to that, and.

Speaker 21 (01:20:00):
That is wrong.

Speaker 37 (01:20:01):
Jamal Bowman was down there cursing at me, telling me
to get the f out of there, and he was
leading the mob right outside the vehicle I was sitting,
and we have this all on video. And then on
the Capitol steps yesterday, he was the one that approached me.
Even CNN reported that, yelling, shouting, raising his voice. He
has aggressive, His physical mannerisms are aggressive, and he just

(01:20:25):
recently shoved Thomas Massey just outside the House chamber. I
think there's a lot of concern about Jamal Bowman so
and I am concerned about it. I feel threatened by him.
He not only let a bob mob there, but his
boisterous lies. And I'll tell you another thing he said.
Outside there he was saying, Savior, Enough of that fool.

Speaker 2 (01:20:47):
The scary black man joins us right now, Congressman Jamal Bowman.
Boy man, Isn't this the same person who literally was
verbally attacking mums of Congress when she showed up in DC.

Speaker 35 (01:21:08):
Verbally attacking members of Congress taking pictures with the AR fifteen,
with my sisters from the squad behind her in the
pitching in a picture, you know, stalking and chastising the
young man David Haig who leads the Must for Our
Lives movement, stalking AOC at her congressional office. Yeah, this

(01:21:35):
is her, And now all of a sudden, she's intimidated
by me. And you know what does she say? My
physical mannerisms are aggressive. But Marola, you know, this is
an old school playbook. But this is an old school
playbook that's very dangerous and reckless and leads to the

(01:21:55):
targeting and killing of black men throughout history, whether it's
them until or to mayor Rice On Mike Brown. Once
a white person says they feared for their lives, that's it,
you know. Now they have clearance to kill a black
person simply because they are black. So that's why I

(01:22:17):
respond very very assertively today, just calling it out for
what it was. And she needs to be held accountable.
She needs to be acted very directly by journalists. Do
you want to see harm done to Congressman Bowman? That's
what she needs to be asked, and she needs to
be held accountable. Before she said, well.

Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
And again, I mean, this is somebody who has been
loud boychous unless I checked, Is it just the same
dumbass who stood up in the State of the Union yelling,
hollering and pointing her finger at the President of the
United States.

Speaker 35 (01:22:52):
Yes, that's her. I mean, this has been her in
her most since she's gotten into Congress. Her mo has
been aggressive confrontation with the Democratic Party and specifically towards
members of the Democratic Party who are of color. I mean,
if you watch my ENGI yesterday, it wasn't even aggressive.

(01:23:12):
It was more gregarious and more of a friendly banter,
if you will. While I was pretty much telling her
do something with your party. They should have expelled George Santos,
get your man out of here and save your party,
because yo a hanging by a thread. She was the one,
if you ok. In the video her hand was in
my face and she was smiling the entire time, So

(01:23:35):
she probably went to bed, slept on that thought about
it and was like, you know what, if I say X,
Y and Z tomorrow, I cannot just put a target
on his back, but I could raise a lot of
money from my base as a result of that. So
that's who she is. That's who they are. Sheanon Maga
conspiracy theory Republicans, and that's why we got to vote

(01:23:56):
them out next year, vote the right people in so
we can do some real governing.

Speaker 2 (01:24:01):
Last point, and your point is obviously fundraising, but let's
also be honest with what really happened here. They were
defending a massive liar, and this is a liar. Marjor
Taylor Green defending a liar. George Santos so a liar
defending a liar.

Speaker 35 (01:24:23):
A liar defending a liar. And that's why we have
to speak truth to power, and we have to be
relentless in our pushback because if we don't, their lives
will occupy the minds of the American people to the
point where people will either come out and vote for
that nonsense or stay home. And we can't have people

(01:24:43):
staying home next year, not only when it comes to
presidency in the House, but we got to take a
few more seats in the Senate. That's the only way
we're going to get voting rights, gun control, women's right
to choose, and everything we've been fighting for for decades.
We got to turn out strong in twenty twenty four in.

Speaker 2 (01:25:00):
The conferenent Jamal Bone, which really appreciated. Thank you so
very much. I guess I guess she wants you to
walk around with a teddy bear in the halls of
Congress because you're just you're just too vocal. Appreciate it.
Thanks a lot, Lauren. Look, this is a drama queen.

(01:25:23):
She's also an idiot. That's what she is. And people
have to understand. And again when people, if you don't
vote in your district and then the Republican wins, you
empower someone like her. Remember when she when Republicans were
in the minority, she was stripped of her committees. She
sat here to deal with Kevin McCarthy. He has empowered

(01:25:43):
this fool who has lots of power now the Republicans
control the House.

Speaker 23 (01:25:48):
It's right, I mean, I think it's likely that you
know the Democrats, I think have a pretty good shot
with members like her around doing these types of stunts
of getting the you know, house back in.

Speaker 21 (01:26:00):
Twenty twenty four. But you never know, you know.

Speaker 23 (01:26:04):
The truth of the matter is is that the Democratic
Party needs more messengers like Jamal Bowman. And yeah, Jamal
Bowman is dangerous, all right. He's dangerous for people who
are lying. He's dangerous for Byron Donald's, he's dangerous for
Thomas Massey. He's dangerous for anybody who's just going to
lie or ignore, you know, school shootings where nine year

(01:26:27):
olds are getting murdered, you know, at their school. So yeah,
he's problematic because Jamal Bowman is the lethal combination of
assertiveness and intelligence. And when you have intelligence going up
against people who are not very.

Speaker 21 (01:26:41):
Bright, they get exposed.

Speaker 23 (01:26:43):
And you'll notice that Marjorie Taylor Green is at her
angriest when she gets exposed by somebody who's clearly more smart,
a lot smarter than she is, namely people like Congressman
AOC again from New York. She seems a thing for
New Yorkers. By the way, if you notice AOC she

(01:27:03):
stalked at her office and talked through the male slat
in AOC's door, which was one of the strangest events
on Capitol Hill in a long time. She had a
real obsession with Alexandria Cassio Cortes, and Alexandria Cassio Coortez
had done absolutely nothing to Marjorie Taylor Green. You know,

(01:27:24):
I wrote a piece for The Guardian. I think it
was last year. Sometime there was a legitimate and very
persistent concern that one of three members of Congress was
going to bring a firearm onto the floor of the House.
And at the time there were MEL detectors up because
Speaker Pelosi at the time installed MEL detectors. One of
those three members, those three members of Lauren Bobert, Madison

(01:27:47):
Cothorine and Marjorie Taylor Green, that they were going.

Speaker 21 (01:27:49):
To bring a firearm onto the floor of the house.
That's where she stands.

Speaker 23 (01:27:54):
Another example is like Jim, no governance, no nothing, just
stunts all day stumble all day long.

Speaker 2 (01:28:01):
And you deal here Greg. That we have to understand.
And that is to Lawn's point. Republicans they have their
fire brains. They go out there, they yell, hollow screaming whatever,
but they also drive their base democrats like to be
all nice and more gentle. No, sometimes you got to
call folks out and light that ass up.

Speaker 18 (01:28:23):
You're absolutely right, Roland, And you know this is a
hard one for me because I like Jamal bow and
every time I've seen that brother, he's affable, he's good natured,
you know. Byron Donalds, who's a huge clown literally and figuratively.
Even when he's clowning. Byron Donalds, he got a smile
on his face. But let me be very clear about this.
And he said this on steps of the Capitol in

(01:28:45):
the wake of this woman doing what she did. She
put a target on his back. Man, she put a
target on his back. She's weaponizing. You know, God forbid
anything happened to him, But this h it was right
by behind my teeth. I paused, So let me just
say it another way. Drink with her with her home Jim,

(01:29:07):
neighborhood Jim look and her WWF courture looking like Rick
Flair on the floor of the National Legislature with her
arms out. God only knows what this beast does roaming
around with in her mind. She put a target on
that brother's back. Do you understand what it means when
you say you're threatened by a black person.

Speaker 10 (01:29:29):
AOC.

Speaker 18 (01:29:29):
You say, Lauren, I mean, she don't wear a buck
dripping wet. But even she came up behind him and said, bro,
she's not worth it. She had a smile on her
face because what she's signaling is killing. I mean, it's
all all jokes aside. This goes back to even a Jones.
But we got to punch these trackers in the face.
Oh that I came out of my mouth. It was

(01:29:49):
right behind my teeth and it can let me pause.
We have to take very seriously the fact that they
are weaponizing. It isn't just about voting, although it's about that,
It isn't just about mobilizing. Is that this is about
deputizing every person in the country to say harmless men,
the nicest guy like say bright, but hey, if I

(01:30:12):
take you down, it's because I fear for my This
is the I fear for my life rhetoric. We laughing,
but let's take this very seriously.

Speaker 20 (01:30:18):
She put a.

Speaker 18 (01:30:18):
Target on Jamal Bowman's back, and my response to that,
finally is this, we need to put a target on
their backs, break their damn backs.

Speaker 1 (01:30:26):
What the hell is wrong with us?

Speaker 2 (01:30:28):
You can't make peace with these people.

Speaker 18 (01:30:30):
It was a reason I asked Representative Horsford about what
you've learned from history?

Speaker 10 (01:30:35):
This to eighteen fifties.

Speaker 18 (01:30:37):
They're five seconds short from starting to cainge people on
the Florida damn national legislature. They are ready to kill people,
and in fact, they are killing people. And what are
we doing trying to make nice?

Speaker 38 (01:30:48):
Hell?

Speaker 18 (01:30:49):
No, is it gonna take somebody getting killed for us
to finally say let's dance?

Speaker 2 (01:30:55):
Ayvis folks better understand these Republicans. They are extremely dangerous
because they are absolutely in bed with white supremacists. That
got about sixty seconds ago.

Speaker 20 (01:31:05):
Well, I just have to say a man to doctor Carr.
I mean, he was right on the money. And you know,
it's interesting he calls her rick Flair. I think of
her as he man. But the situation is the same.

Speaker 13 (01:31:17):
Okay.

Speaker 22 (01:31:18):
She uses violent rhetoric all the time, and this was
a very shrewd way of her to say.

Speaker 20 (01:31:23):
This big black man threatened me.

Speaker 21 (01:31:25):
And we know who she is speaking to.

Speaker 22 (01:31:27):
This is a party that appeals not only to white supremacists,
but to violent white terrorists, and that's exactly who she
was conjuring up with those comments.

Speaker 2 (01:31:38):
Absolutely absolutely so, all right, folks got to go to break.
We come back, going to get an update on this
case out of Delaware State. Remember whether women's lacrosse team
was pulled over by again these racist cops. It keeps happening.
But you know how he is to be black in
this country. It is what it is. And so we'll

Speaker 15 (01:34:16):
A horrific scene, a white nationalist rally that descended into
deadly violence.

Speaker 2 (01:34:24):
White people are losing their their minds.

Speaker 10 (01:34:27):
As a mangry pro Trump mart storm to the US capital.

Speaker 7 (01:34:31):
The show, We're about to.

Speaker 2 (01:34:32):
See the rise what I call white minority resistance. We
have seen white folks in this country who simply cannot
tolerate black folks voting.

Speaker 16 (01:34:41):
I think what we're seeing is the inevitable result of
violent denial.

Speaker 6 (01:34:46):
This is part of American history.

Speaker 9 (01:34:48):

This country just getting increasingly racist in its behaviors and
its attitudes because of the fear of white people the food.

Speaker 2 (01:35:13):
That they're taking our jobs, they're taking our resources, they're
taking our women. This is white Field. Black Start Networks.

And if you're ready, you are listening to and you
are watching Roland Martins Unfiltered.

Speaker 5 (01:36:32):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (01:36:32):
The DOJ in a Georgia Sheriff's office have reached an
agreement with regards to a racial discrimination complaint filed by
HBCU Delaware State. Now, remember Liberty County deputies stop and
search the Delaware State University women's lacrosse team bus when
they were driving in the left lane on I ninety five.
This was in April of twenty twenty two. Officers asked

(01:36:54):
the players if the players had drugs on the bus
before searching the team's belongings. Law enforcement did not file
on any contraband the players believe they were racially profiled.
University filed a complaint with the DOJ, accusing the Liberty
Cannon Shares Office of violating the Civil Rights Act. Monday,
the DOJ in Liberty Cannon Shares Office agreed to a
settlement that includes more training, community engagement, and reviewing policy

(01:37:16):
and procedures. The attorney representing some of the players says
the agreement simply is not enough. Joining us now from Trembull, Connecticut.
It's attorney grig Tron grig let to have you on
the show. So that's it. That's it, that's it.

Speaker 10 (01:37:33):
In the words of one of my clients, it was
a slap on the risk, but I think it.

Speaker 6 (01:37:38):
Was a tap on the risk.

Speaker 2 (01:37:40):
You represent twenty five of the twenty seven folks who
on the bus correct.

Speaker 10 (01:37:45):
As of today, the other two hopefully coming forward. It
just strategically haven't been out with a sign agreements.

Speaker 2 (01:37:51):
What do you want out of this? What do they
want to see done?

Speaker 38 (01:37:56):
Well, I think they want an examination of their civil rights,
which includes the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution, which protects
against unreasonable searches and seizures, and also the Title six
of the US Code, which is the Civil Rights Act
of nineteen sixty four. Racially profiling them to search the
bus after the officers realized that there were black college

(01:38:21):
lacrosse players.

Speaker 5 (01:38:22):
On the bus.

Speaker 2 (01:38:23):
Well, it's bundily clear.

Speaker 38 (01:38:25):
They want justice, Roland, and justice doesn't mean that the
United States Justice Department, in its role to investigate crimes,
takes the internal investigation of the Liberty County Sheriff's office,
which was.

Speaker 10 (01:38:42):
Drafted by their own attorney.

Speaker 38 (01:38:44):
They took that as the facts in the case and
decided not to go ahead with an investigation. So the
first thing we want, and we should have, and the
people of the United States of America should have, is
a thorough investigation by the Justice Department rather than taking
the share internal report for the truth of the facts.

Speaker 2 (01:39:06):
Well, I mean it's no doubt this was racial profiley,
I mean, this is this is a hard to see.
I mean, why else would you pull them over in
this bogus you know, explanation, and then you know, asking
the driver do you know was he on drugs? Did
he have drugs? I mean, come on, well, the.

Speaker 38 (01:39:25):
Facts are very important and the sequence of the facts
are very important.

Speaker 10 (01:39:32):
In the final report of the Sheriff's office.

Speaker 38 (01:39:35):
Which just came out yesterday, there are a number of inconsistencies.
It's interesting that they say that within two minutes of
pulling over the bus they had a dog on the
site sniffing the cargo hold.

Speaker 10 (01:39:51):
Now, the bus had tinted windows.

Speaker 39 (01:39:54):
If the bus was in fact way down in front
of the deputy that hold them over, he could not
have seen the only window that was not tinted, which
would have been the driver's window, and the driver was black.

Speaker 10 (01:40:08):
Tim Jones said he never saw the deputy. The deputy
never came up alongside him.

Speaker 38 (01:40:15):
So the bus was pulled over for a reason that
they put into their report as being traveling in the
left lane.

Speaker 10 (01:40:23):
When in fact my client says, no, he was passing
in the left lane.

Speaker 6 (01:40:28):
There's a huge difference.

Speaker 10 (01:40:30):
So if the stop was illegal from.

Speaker 38 (01:40:32):
The beginning, everything else consequent to that cannot be legal.

Speaker 2 (01:40:39):
Oh absolutely.

Speaker 38 (01:40:40):
Now, when the bus was pulled over and Tim came
off the bus and handed over his license. It was
then after that that the deputy got on the bus,
saw what he had, and he heard that they were
college students, saw who they were, and he instructed the

(01:41:01):
deputy that's in charge of the sniffing dog, whose name
is Coda, to go and sniff. I would like to
interview COONa if anybody knows dog language. I want to
know what ConA sniffed gift, because according to the report,
the dog picked up something and so they pulled out
luggage and personal items of some of my clients, pulled

(01:41:22):
apart their luggage, actually took apart and unwrapped a gift
that was given to one of my clients and from
her aunt, and.

Speaker 2 (01:41:31):
It had nothing.

Speaker 38 (01:41:32):
In the fact, you can see it right there in
his hand. You can see that that box was a
gift and what it was was a book safe. All
it was was a simple gift.

Speaker 10 (01:41:41):
It didn't have there was nothing in it.

Speaker 38 (01:41:43):
Now, these deputies were supposed to be doing an interdiction,
not a personal inspection of people's goods to find out
if they can find a little bit of contraband that's
not the purpose of what they were supposed to be
there for.

Speaker 2 (01:41:57):
Well, will we see what has happening? Are y'all planning?
You're planning and filing a civil lawsuit against the department.

Speaker 38 (01:42:04):
Absolutely and the Japanese all of them, and the sheriff
you know, fact in Georgia.

Speaker 2 (01:42:11):
All right, Greg, I appreciate it. Thanks a lot, you, bat,
thank you. I'm gonna to a quick break, come back,
talk about panel about this. You're watching roller Mark Unfiltered

You're about covering these things.

On a next A balance life with me, Doctor Jackie.
We're talking about leveling up, or to put it another way,
living your very best life. How to take a bowl
step forward that'll rock your world.

Speaker 31 (01:43:38):
Leveling up is different for everybody, you know. I think
we fall into this trap which after which often gets
a stuck because we're looking at someone else's level of journey,
what level of lube means to them. For some, it
might be a business venture, For some it might be
a relationship situation.

Speaker 12 (01:43:54):
But it's different for everybody.

Speaker 3 (01:43:56):
It's all a part of a balanced life. That's next
on black Stuf Network.

Speaker 1 (01:44:04):
Hello everyone, it's Kiera Shard.

Speaker 32 (01:44:06):
Hey, I'm Tom, I'm Coco, and I'm Lelee me.

Speaker 1 (01:44:10):
What's up, y'all?

Speaker 3 (01:44:11):
It's Ryan's Destiny and you're watching Roland Martin on Filter.

Speaker 2 (01:44:24):
Uh, we've had this story. There was another story whether
these troopers along this Georgia highway had stopped a black group.
I mean, look, game recognized, game Avis, we know what
the deal is. These white cops ain't full of nobody.
It was straight up racial profile and I hope they
sue and I hope they beat their asses in court.

Speaker 22 (01:44:44):
Absolutely, it was profiling. It was harassment. Actually, I feel
really bad for these young women who were out there
representing their university, looking to participate in their sports and
to have to be targeted in this way, and let's
just say they likely humiliated in.

Speaker 21 (01:45:01):
This way for no other reason than the.

Speaker 20 (01:45:04):
Fact that they were black, is very ridiculous.

Speaker 22 (01:45:08):
And so I'm so happy that they have legal representation
and I'm hoping that they will suit each and everybody
involved with just sounds like it's what they're doing because
they deserve to be completely well compensated as a result
of that transgression.

Speaker 21 (01:45:21):
Lauren, Yeah, I'm wondering why they haven't sued already.

Speaker 23 (01:45:26):
What's taken so long? It was April twenty twenty two.
Why haven't they Why hasn't.

Speaker 21 (01:45:32):
A civil lawsuit been filed already?

Speaker 23 (01:45:35):
This is not you know, the nineteen fifties or whatever
that we're reliving with these idiot incidents that are clearly
racially motivated. There's no way in this world that anybody
can ever imagine that some white baseball team would be
stopped and frisked in the same exact way. And you know,
you got to love the fact too, there's probably at
least you know, thirty people on that team at minimum,

(01:45:57):
And so you mean to tell me they search the
entire bus and found absolutely nothing, right, of course, because
there was nothing, There was nothing to find. But you
can't find in the news a comparable incident where, you know,
these troopers in Georgia Sheriff's office in Georgia is stopping
a white bunch of dudes going to play baseball or
something like that. No way in the world hockey. I mean,

(01:46:20):
it's outrageous. I'm shocked that a suit has not been
filed already. I wonder what the delay is and I
think they should make as big of a deal out
of it as possible. These are the types of things
that we should not be okay with or getting used
to or shrugging our shoulders at this nonsense.

Speaker 21 (01:46:38):
It is complete nonsense.

Speaker 18 (01:46:40):
Gret Absolutely, absolutely, Lauren and Roland. You know, when the
autopsy of this criminal enterprise called the United States of
America is written, a key piece of it will be
the failure of the federal framework. We have to remember
that it has only been through federal intervention that anything

(01:47:05):
close to some form of equity as it relates to rights,
human rights and has been affected. These white nationalists have
been the same throughout the history of this criminal enterprise,
and it's only been when the federal government got involved.
With all due respect to the Civil Rights Division and
our friend Kristin Clark and everything. I read the memorandum
of agreement. You know, what the hell They've got a.

Speaker 2 (01:47:30):
Line in there.

Speaker 18 (01:47:31):
They've got a paragraph call facilitated dialogue. These boys, I
got to stop myself tonight. These people at the Sheriff's
office have offered to meet with the students, the driver
and coaches involved, and they say in the memorianum of agreement,
if the offers accepted, this meeting will be held in
a safe, supportive and inclusive environment. What the hell is
that going to be Nigeria, South Africa or Brazil, because

(01:47:52):
it damn sure ain't the United States of America. The
federal government has to intervene. This is why these people
in these states get away with it. We've got to
pay attention. In the next couple of weeks, you're gonna
be reporting on these Supreme Court decisions. They have gone
to the mattresses, everyone in the state houses, in the

(01:48:13):
local and they are daring the federal government to stop them.
And right now the federal government has abandoned any idea
that they're gonna do anything. And as a result, this
thing is getting ready to go so far south that
once it goes that way, it's not gonna be put
back together again. This is not just a small thing.
It's representative of so much larger cycle in the history

(01:48:33):
of this country.

Speaker 2 (01:48:35):
Indeed, and look, I just need folks to realize that
when we talk about shares offices, sharffes are elected positions.
They are elected positions. And when we stay home or
we don't maximize our numbers, then guess what we get that?
And look, I get it. A lot of places that

(01:48:56):
are hardcore areas that are you know, you know, overly
a Republican. But it's a lot of places that we
keep people keep making a mistake like a Tennessee, seventy
five percent of those races in Tennessee when people ran
unopposed each It's kind of easy to win when nobody

(01:49:18):
runs against you, and so we just need to understand that.
All right, quick break, we come back, uh final comments
on rolling Unforchal to the Black Stude Network.

Speaker 26 (01:49:33):
I'm Faraji Muhammad live from La and this is the culture.
The culture is a two way conversation, you and me.
We talk about the stories, politics, the good to bad
to the downright ugly. So join our community every day
at three pm Eastern and let your voice be heard. Dany,
We're all in this together, so let's talk about it

(01:49:54):
and see what kind of trouble we can get into.
It's the culture we days at three only the Black
Star Network.

Speaker 18 (01:50:04):
Next on the Black Table with me Greg Karr. Democracy
in the United States is undeceased on this list of
bad actors. It's easy to point out the Donald Trump's,
the Marjorie Taylor Greens, or even the United States Supreme Court.

Speaker 7 (01:50:18):
As the primary villains.

Speaker 18 (01:50:20):
But as David Pepper, author, scholar, and former politician himself says,
there's another factor that trumps them all and resides much
closer to many.

Speaker 10 (01:50:30):
Of our homes.

Speaker 18 (01:50:31):
His book is Laboratories of Autocris, a wake up call
from behind the lines.

Speaker 16 (01:50:38):
So these state houses get hijacked by the far right,
then they jerry mander, they suppress the opposition, and that
allows and the legislate in a way that doesn't reflect
the people of that state.

Speaker 18 (01:50:50):
David Pepper joins us on the next Black Table here
on the Black Star Network.

Speaker 2 (01:51:00):
Black TV does matter. Dang it.

Speaker 24 (01:51:03):
Hey, what's up, y'adish boy, Jacob Latimore, And you're now
watching Roland Martin right now?

Speaker 2 (01:51:37):
All right, So we all we gotta been talking about
Fox News and the right being pissed off with President
Biden's speech to the Howard University graduates on Saturday. And
so I didn't see Greg Carter the graduation. Uh, so
I gotta get his thoughts on the total right wing
freak out because Biden chose to discuss us Waite supremacy

(01:52:00):
in his speech as if that was the first time
he did. When it didn't, then of course you had
that food Rachel compost Duffy on Fox News who called
the Howard University graduates dumb. Now Jesse Waters and his
commentary tried to praise them as being smart and brilliant,
but we know he's pretty stupid himself.

Speaker 18 (01:52:19):
Bro, why would you pull me in there?

Speaker 7 (01:52:20):
Brother?

Speaker 18 (01:52:21):
You know, I was in Philadelphia with our friend and brother,
Martin Lamont Hill. I wasn't going nowhere near know Joe
Biden's speech, And as far as that's the last, and
I don't miss commencement, I'm very serious about the high
Holy Days of HBCUs. I went to one this first
time in twenty three years at Howard that I did
not put on my rod for the recognition ceremonies or

(01:52:41):
for commencement, And a great deal of that has to
do with the current administration. Quite frankly, you know, I
feel very strongly about the neoliberal university. I feel very
strongly about celebrity cloud chasing models for higher education. And
I feel very strongly about the idea that some HBCUs
have now become to aspire to be d EI use,
in fact, diverse ecity inclusion university. So I wasn't even

(01:53:04):
there to hear Joe Biden. Of course we're gonna expect
this kind of thing in terms of attacking, but quite frankly,
that makes it easier for folks to do less because
even with the critical race theory stuff and the ap
off American States course and all that, people can be
very heroic when open white supremacists attack everything. The challenge

(01:53:25):
we have is to be the kind of black that
ignores that and pushes forward. And I'm very skeptical about
where we are in high education in general. Joe Biden
picked up some cheap points on Saturday, and I certainly
weren't gonna sit there and bear witness to it. But
I do want to mention Roland that Congress, you know again,
Happy Haitian Flag Day. We have to raise the name
of the legendary Catherine Flawn, who, when Jean Jacques Dessaline

(01:53:48):
ripped the white out the middle of the Haitian flag
after the French killed Tussons in the jail, said you'll
never mistake the Haitian flag for the French flag again.
And the sister Catherine Flawn, the legend has it stitched together,
the red and the blue brother with the little white
square in the midth that says in unity their strength.
So shout out to that sister who is the mother
of the Haitian flag. Damn Bessie Ross, why are we
put with Joe Biden, who's probably there in Philadelphia when

(01:54:10):
she was stitching that other flag. But anyway, yeah, I wasn't.

Speaker 2 (01:54:13):
Here, Amos. Bud Fox New has been on tear all week.
They just so upset because he called out white supremacists.

Speaker 22 (01:54:24):
Yeah, well they can stay mad as far as I'm concerned.
There is nothing that he said that was incorrect. It's factual.
In fact, it's not news. I mean, for years, forever, honestly,
the biggest terrorist threat in America has been white men.

Speaker 20 (01:54:38):
Uh and it still is that that is still the
case today.

Speaker 22 (01:54:42):
But we all know that they haven't a version to facts, right,
we all know that that's why they owe a gazillion
dollars and is about to be sued again.

Speaker 13 (01:54:50):
So you know what could we expect?

Speaker 20 (01:54:52):
That's what we can expect from these folks.

Speaker 22 (01:54:54):
They continue to lie, they continue to over to thwart
the truth, and when they are confronted with the reality
of the violence of the constituency that they seem to
be bending over trying to appeal to instead of acknowledging it,
they're going to sit there and have freak out temper
tantrums in the way that we just saw that they
did larn.

Speaker 13 (01:55:16):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:55:17):
I mean to.

Speaker 23 (01:55:17):
Doctor Carr's point, you know, I feel like we're in
like a moment here last five or six years where
the federal government is not up to the task of
what's going on. Certainly Merrick Garland is not up to
the task of what's going on. I mean, we're seeing real,
real violence in real time. We saw Mother Emmanuel. We
obviously saw Buffalo, we saw the attack on the Capitol.

(01:55:38):
We saw race riot in Charlottesville. We're seeing members of
Congress openly say that they're okay with white supremacists in
our military. We got a member of Congress who has
a white supremacist on his staff. That would be Paul Goser.
We see DeSantis fundraising for some guy that killed a
black guy on the subway in New York, proudly fund

(01:56:00):
raising as if it's some badge of honor to fundraise
because a black man was killed. We saw that same
sort of thing with Eric Garner, with that cop Dan Pantaleo.
They gave him, you know, oh wait, put him. They
raised his salary, and they gave him a nice desk
job and all this other stuff.

Speaker 21 (01:56:16):
If he killed.

Speaker 23 (01:56:17):
I mean, they've rewarded him and it is all out
in the open, and nobody seems to be pushing back
hard enough on this. In my view, it's good to
see the Black Caucus is planning something, but we got
to get.

Speaker 21 (01:56:29):
Real with the reality that we're living with.

Speaker 23 (01:56:30):
Over the last few years, I'd say last six or seven,
Donald Trump has has basically made it fashionable to be
openly racist yep. And this party has made violence fashionable
well again.

Speaker 2 (01:56:44):
They know exactly who their supporters are and that's why
they're catering to them. ABIs Lauren greg I stially appreciate it.
