right here I'm Roland Martin unfiltered on the Blackstar Network it is time to bring the funk let's go whatever the he's on it whatever it is he's got the the the and when it breaks he's right on time and it's rolling best believe he's knowing putting it down from SP to news to politics with entertainment Just for kicks he's [Music] rolling it's all go oh y it's rolling M yeah rolling with rolling now he's FK he's fresh he's real the best you know he's rolling Mar [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] jury selection begin today in New York City in the historic trial of Thug In Chief Donald Trump he of course is the first uh former occupant of the Oval Office y'all know I do not call him president at all to go on trial for criminal charges this case centers around a potential sex scandal cover up that took place just days before the 2016 uh presidential election the the trial begins today with jury selection uh which due to the large pool of perspective jws literally could take up to two weeks the charter from Manhattan da Alvin brag stem from $130,000 payment Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen made to adult film actor Stormy Daniels at the end of the 2016 election to keep her from going public with an allegation that she and Trump had a sexual Affair Trump being repay Cohen and installments marked as legal fees in company records now Trump actually denies having an affair with Daniels now we know he's a liar and what you also have you also have all of these people who are making excuses for Donald Trump I mean my goodness haraldo Rivera clay Travis all these people because they cannot stand the fact that this is moving forward so they want to make excuses for him now here's the problem there's a sign over the Supreme Court literally it is etched in so Stone it says Equal justice under law what that means is doesn't matter who you are in the United States doesn't matter if you're rich if you're poor you're a politician or you're not equal justice under law but so many people have continued to make excuses for Donald Trump and he has never learned his lesson because for him he figures I could do whatever it is that I want let's talk to my panel right now uh Dr amako to being a senior apos profor lectur School of International Service American University Rita Shannon for former Georgia state representative out of Atlanta also we have Dr Julian Malvo she's Economist and author out of Washington DC president emerit of benett college I'm going start with you I mean here's the thing that is amazing to be um this Thug that's what he is he's a liar he is a tax cheat he has cheated on multiple wives uh he refuses to pay his bills uh he trashes everyone he talks about everyone there's no level of accountability and to watch people continue to make excuses for this man frankly it's pathetic it's pathetic it's sad it's it's and and it's like what they're making excuses for I mean everybody knows you know they call us the hush money trial case but we know it's also about election interference and we're talking about a man who paid off stormmy Daniels and Karen McDougall people were involved in the porn industry to keep his image as some you know to continue to try to court evangelicals to try to show that he was Christian that he was going to be you know quote unquote uh you know uh pro pro life or as we like talk about here anti-abortion and he tried to keep coming off on this and after that Access Hollywood tape came out people thought he was done people like Paul Ryan you know just invited him from and people thought that you know they should really try to get rid of him but he had a lot more support than we thought because when Paul Ryan tried to uninvite him from that event Paul Ryan got booed by the people in the audience so the fact of the matter is Roland I feel like at the end of the day he probably still could have won if this tape came out or if if information about this these payoffs came out because that's how much so many people in his base wanted him and when you talk about so much of the Hillary hate but right now he is there he's got to be quiet he can't intervene the way he wants he can't interject the way he wants and he has to be there every day roling and so we don't know what's going to happen in the actual trial itself we don't know if there's going to be a a stealth juror who's going to get on there and be like a you know rabid Trump supporter we don't know but the fact of the matter is that the process of accountability criminal accountability has finally started at least one of these trials and he can't get out there and try to control the narrative if he really wants to control the narrative get up there and take the stand which we also know that he's not going to do do overall this is a good day and for all of those people who are trying to excuse him you know they got enough stuff in their closet they don't want coming out either but they need this man to be their front man they need this man to be their winner at all costs despite all of the people who whose careers have been destroyed over this man Giuliani weisselberg who's in prison right now at like what 80 something years old everybody's lying on their sword for this man who would never do the same for them but the process is moving even though slowly and it's a good day ranita the thing for me is very simple uh and that is um his supporters they literally make excuses for everything oh this is political if it wasn't him they wouldn't be doing this he can flout the law he can break the law and for them it's like all right whatever we really don't care right they're making excuses for him which is also a TR true um tactic of the way that white supremacy is kept intact in this country which is that when white men um have done something that obviously they need to be held accountable for from a legal perspective they people tend to make excuses from them for them and do whatever they can to Shield them from accountability and that helps to hold white supremacy um intact it's just one of the benefits of white supremacy and so this case is really important you know him being held accountable as well as the other um charges that he's been charged with and folks trying to get accountability for other things that he's done because because we are supposed to have a justice system that is supposed to be equal for everyone and as you mentioned in the introduction you know folks are looking at this unfortunately too many people in this country their interaction and what they've seen of our criminal justice system has been that there are some people generally rich white men who happen to always be above the law and Escape accountability and so holding Donald Trump accountable is going to do a lot more than um actually hold him accountable is going to do a lot to actually um make people feel at least just a step closer to believing that we are moving one step closer to equal justice in this country and that is important because that is what you know people believing that there's a justice system um is what separates people from just deciding to get their own Justice and just doing vigilante justice so it is important for the country Juliana um what's also interesting is to watch these lying hypocritical icious shameful and Despicable white conservative so-called Christians make every excuse possible people like Franklin Graham uh and the list goes on and on and on and that's all they do they excuse this man's behavior they embolden his shameful behavior and they know he is not even remotely a Christian it never has been but he's wrapped himself around that and they've allowed him to do so the fact is that when we look at so-called Christianity I say so-called I am a Christian but I'm That Kind of Christian I'm not the Christian who went to church and then after church went to the lynching and this these These are the Christians when we look at the Defenders of the orange man who basically believe in selective Christianity so when they talk about feeding the hungry that but don't put any more money in any snap B benefits you talk about uh cloth the naked but don't do anything about public assist we didn't go down the list of their hypocrisies and among their hypocrisies there's a I believe there's a Commandment that says Thou shalt not commit adultery I think there's such a commandment um but apparently all these holy rollers will make excuses for the orange man who has flagrantly committed adultery I don't know how many times we can look at any number of things they defend that defy the Bible the Commandments and everything else what they really are telling us Roland is that they prefer to win than to be Christian they prefer to subjugate people especially poor people especially black people especially immigrants then to be Christian there's nothing in the Bible that says once somebody crosses a border they're no longer a human being and the people who have come to the Border they've come at enormous cost they didn't come to do anything but to survive and yet we basically peripheralized them so I I reject their notion of Christianity they're not behaving in a Christian Manner and you know they you got these youth in these uh Conservative Christian churches wearing these little armbands that say wwjd what would Jesus do but Jesus would not do Trump that's what Jesus would not do and we know this for a fact and so all these spinning of Heraldo you know been glued to the team well not completely glued so I did have to do some work watching off and on the television today of course I stay on seeing in Ms I can't have fox in my house but they the clips of these people and they're just telling lies and now his new one is he gave storyby Daniel the money to save his marriage what marriage we have you seen Melania lately girlfriend is going to get paid another couple Mill to hang out for the campaign and then she's going to keep it moving but in but Nei here nor there the fact is that the question you raised about Christianity and the hypocrisy is the appropriate question but the other question equally if not more important is why do these people stick with him why do you know the work white working class who he's doing nothing for who who he's doing nothing for they feel some Affinity with him and I'm not sure why he's not coming to their house their grandkids are not GNA be me no no look look no we know why because the bottom line is he made clear he is going to put a hardcore right-wing uh evangelicals on the federal he did that and so what they've decided is oh we will Overlook Overlook all of uh your pathetic uh uh narcissistic behavior to get what we want it's also about power I'm going to go to a break we come back uh I'm going to show you what happened on yesterday on ABC this week when New Hampshire Governor Christian unu was questioned by George Stephanopoulos and he expl he showed you exactly how they operate and what matters to them it's not morals it's not values it's not ethics it's not principles it's power you're watching Rolland Martin

next black table only on the Black Star Network what's up everybody it's your girl Natasha from the A and you're watching Roland Martin unfiltered all right folks welcome back to Roland Martin unfiltered uh I've said to y'all on numerous occasions on this show on others Republicans are who they are it is about power don't believe any of these people when they stand in front of the cameras and they're Grand standing and they're just making all their pronouncements that stuff means nothing it's all about power and New Hampshire governor chrisan unu who supported Nikki Haley for the Republican nomination who has trashed Donald Trump in the past he showed his old whole ass yesterday on ABC This Week With George Stephanopoulos and so about to play for you right now and you're going to see for yourself and remember I was on the same show September 2021 with Chris Christie and and I sat there and I said it then and I ain't been back on the show since but everything that I said was absolutely true every single thing and so we got the S video ready all right guys let's go when y'all see this I mean it it's it's they tell you and so this is why I crack up when I when I hear these people talk about oh I'm not going to vote these things don't matter uh you know you're sitting here you know Shilling these people do not care they do not care it's all about control watch Governor Chris anunu who worked against Donald Trump during the primaries has now endorsed the former president governor thank you for joining us this morning you bet history being made tomorrow that criminal trial will your support for Donald Trump continue even if he's convicted in Manhattan yeah I look I this this trial is not going to have major political ramifications that a lot of people I think think it may have when it comes to these issues people see it more as reality TV at this point they they really do and so um you know whether it's a conviction or what that conviction looks like um a lot of folks they conflate all four of these different trials that he's in I don't think it's good that he's going to be in the court uh have to be in there probably three days a week uh you know for for a number of weeks that takes him off the campaign Trail he'll probably go back on the campaign Trail and almost like rehash what's going on he'll try to victimize it um and and that has worked for him right I mean this has been going on for over a year and his poll numbers never seem to go down because of the issue well yeah you're going to politics though I'm asking you about right and wrong you think it's you're you're comfortable with the idea of supporting someone who's convicted of a federal crime as president no I don't I don't think any American is comfortable with any of this they don't like any of this of course but I mean when it comes to actually you know looking at at each of these trials um as they kind of take place whether it's this year or next year as they kind of line up the the right now this is about an election right this is about politics that's what people are judging this on and that the ultimate you know decision will be will be in November to see where people are but for for months and even over a year we've heard that these are the things that are going to bring Donald Trump down it's not and to think that the American public is going to be massively swayed by this uh politically or otherwise um that's that's not going to happen I'm asking whether you're going to be TR I'm you're a governor you're an elected official I'm asking whether you're going to be swayed by it yeah look nobody should be shocked that the Republican Governor is supporting the Republican president you know what the real story is the average American that has gone from Biden back to Trump the average American that is feeling inflation and all these other issues that says look through all this all the whether there's a conviction or not we want a culture change in Washington DC and we'll continue to support the former pres former president Trump that's the real story right that Trump is leading in the polls Across America in in a lot of these different polls so no one should be surprised by by my support what the I think the real discussion is you know America's moving away from Biden that's how bad Biden has become as president president there's just no doubt about it right you can't ignore inflation you can't ignore the border and say that that these issues in the courthouse are going to be the one thing that brings Biden back in into offense it's not going to happen that way y'all heard all of that other Flatout nonsense this is what I said on the same show September 2021 I appreciate the speech uh Governor but the reality is this um you have to admit Sarah you have to admit the role that you played in putting the person in leadership who is driving conspiracy theories it's one thing to condemn them after the fact but you have to own up to the role that you played and putting the person in power the time we both ran campaigns against me finish anything to you can I finish first off you and second I ran against Donald Trump in ran against here's the deal you ran against him but when a person has principles morals and values they do not support them even if you lose and what and what they say is what they say is I choose patriotism and the country over party and power and the problem was too many Republicans chose power in riding with Donald Trump as opposed to patriotism in America I'll sleep fine tonight with you judging my morals well guess what as as a voter who has 13 nieces and nephews what I also want to see in America are Republicans and Democrats who have the guts to stand up to narcissists to folks who lie to folks who sit here and led a country in the wrong direction and what that man has Unleashed on this country any Republican who stood with them has to own it and accept the role that they played yeah well that's fine I'll accept the role that I played in the 2016 election running against him and I'll accept the RO let him let him finish his point now let him finish his point accept the role that I played in my belief that Hillary Clinton was not the right person to be president we all get to make choices Roland in this democracy I made my choice I'm on record of my choice and I'm not walking away from my choice but it does not preclude me from being able to be critical when the person that I did support does things that I am against and so this false choice that you're trying to set up it's it's a false choice and one that the American people are not going to buy either uh he you go the false Choice Rita these people again it's power they do not care they do not care if this man is paid off a porn star they do not care that he grab women by the vagina they do not care how shameful despicable he has been they do not care about his racism when it came to housing they do not care how he lies they do not care how he cracked on uh crapped on our troops who lost their lives and how he frankly how he called them names General John Kelly fourstar retired general of course goldar family member talk about that as well this is who this man is they do not care so I need all the people who are sitting on the fence who are talking about oh you know what you know I'm not going to vote to understand these people don't have morals or values or principles or ethics they are going to enact some of the most gross disrespectful shameful policies that are going to have a negative impact on African-Americans and others and people better understand there's no such thing as a bottom with Donald Trump it doesn't exist it goes lower than the ocean floor well sonunu and what he said actually let the cat out of the bag which we all knew which is it really doesn't matter what Donald Trump does they're going to support him and I think that even includes him being convicted um in any of these cases criminally being you know having being convicted of felonies or anything it doesn't matter they're still going to vote for him because they're not voting for him based on his actions they're not voting on him based on morals they're voting for him because they know that he will continue to do what it takes and be very bold about holding white supremacy intact they are voting to keep whiteness together and they know that that is what he will do cuz that is what he campaigns on and so I think and this is what I was saying earlier about you know why it's important that he's held accountable is because when you look at the average poor white person here in the South the the southern strategy for the most part still works they know Donald Trump doesn't care about them and they know that he's not going to do anything to help them they know that but what they are banking on is that if he gets reelected he will keep whiteness one in in intact for the most part and the benefits of white suprem and so even if they are not going to have any money and even if he's not going to do anything economically for them even if he's not going to do anything to make their life better at least they will still be able to hold on to whiteness and that will buy that can buy them simple benefits like not being harassed as much by the police um not being over incarcerated the way that our communities have been that can buy them having an easier day in court if they do have to go to court for something there are still things that don't cost money that whiteness can buy and Donald Trump is basically advertising and campaigning on that he's going to make sure that those things stay intact in this country and that's what make America great make America great again is about so and and Julian this is where again this is where people make the mistake where they believe that we're operating by a set of rules we they believe that oh well you know the person does this when the man trashed Senator John McCain as a p and Republicans CL clapped okay that was it they were done and so people better understand what these people want to do what Their intentions are they're telling us what they're going to go after and folks had better understand before it's too late he is exactly laying out what his plan is he plans to fire civil servants who are not aligned with his agenda obviously all of the um GS folks he's going to go after um Government appointees Federal appointees he's going to go after um and you know that in terms of African-American professionals we tend to be over represented among those ranks so any African-American person who works for the federal government and supports Trump basically is putting a knife to their own throat but there are those who will do that because they've drank the Kool-Aid and and that's literally what's happening is we people you I was talking to a guy the other day one of my neighbors which I rarely do but I talk the man was talking he said oh don't you know he's just joking I'm like no he's not just joking uh but that a lot of people think he's just joking or he's a little extreme or his rhetoric is out of order no his policies are out of order the rhetoric we could potentially put up with it's what he says he will do and those who are reluctant to vote rowand I'm so disgusted um they keep talking about what he hasn't that Biden President Biden has not done enough you know now we got another student loan reprieve um there's some HBCU do you think that President Trump if a a president Trump would support HBCU no and we know that we know that those States who have stolen money from HBCU through the land grant colleges that's Federal money federal government could play a better role Trump isn't going to do that and let's not talk about our rights abortion rights our U productive Health rights and then just uh today the state of Iowa has banned um any kind of treatment for Trans children they they made it against the law now you know this goes to a orange man supreme court they'll uphold that law you know that frankly uh when we look at it he would speak in favor of such a law we know that the Republican party has been aligned against difference uh these states that are passing laws against diversity equity and inclusion and so people Discerning people um they know many of them know better they know better but like you said when you set this uh segment up it's about power it's about white supremacy it's about Fear of a Black Planet fear that there are more and more African Latino Asian young people who um many of course line up with orange man but more more are open and looking at their lives their lives and they say no we're not having this that's fear it's that fear but but but but but but but here's the thing on makongo that again that that I think people need to understand for those people who on the right it doesn't matter so he knows I can do what when he said I could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and I would not lose support that was not a lie and so what I need people to understand is there are no rules here they don't exist and so you better understand when this man is standing in front of rally saying I'm going to deport Latinos when he's saying the programs are going to attack when he says hey I wish I had the power uh like they do in England uh to just decide when election takes place that's what they want to do BR believe them and so and say so for Democrats stop this not like like all these idiot idiot journalists should know oh you know uh uh President Biden he needs to be calling calling all these uh these uh people who did support Donald Trump no he don't you locking and load you better be locking and loading on Democrats saying if we don't get out to vote if that fool may be back in and if he's back in all rest of these people they know they've got an idiot in charge and they can do whatever they want because we know he can't read we know he can't think we know he's not smart he's just happen to sit there and soak in all of uh the acutron to being president when you talk about people needing to get on the ball first of all that video with from 2021 it never gets old and it just has more resonance and I'm sitting here you know looking at this you know right here with white fear Roland you got four sections in here and and the first three are all playing out the first one was igniting the flame of white fear and on page 15 part two of that was enter Donald Trump you talked about that you laid it out he came in with this then you talk about defining the white fear Manifesto going to what Dr Malvo was saying redefining American history with the bands and everything else Dei and then chapter 3 you a section you talk about legislating and regulating through white fear and that's them going after the courts and you know so in those first three sections right there it's all playing out and we're seeing it with sonunu we saw it with Ted Cruz before we saw it with Mitch McConnell as well I will support the Republican nominee regardless that's my job as the Republican and so when they don't care how much do we care about and I still feel Roland that there are still some people who kind of have that Susan surandon mindset of maybe maybe we can handle four years of trump maybe you that's what we need right now maybe like maybe maybe maybe and on every level there's a certain level of complacency I remember two weeks ago when we were on and you played that or three when you played that bill Mah video when he was talking about the NBA and all this race up though he started off that segment by saying I don't care who wins the election that's how we started off and so if people want to keep having that mindset Donald Trump will be back and this country will get whatever it deserves and if a new new video is not the latest one because uh Chris Christie started listening to you finally in this election should have listened to you three years ago right but the fact of the matter is if we don't get it on now he's going to keep lying I watched your segment when he was at the Chick-fil-A with the fake video of the black supporter they're going to do everything they can to play dirty because it's about power project 25 it's about power and so this is not the time for us to be cute and fancy and talk about sitting out or oh Biden's just not appealing to me he's not calling me not all of that this is do or die like die as a country like do or die and it's only going to get worse and they're all falling in line once again not people are going to be like not a lot of them are going to be like Mitt Romney who said hey you get convicted of sexual assault of any sort that's a a disqualifier for me they don't care you've written the Manifesto It's time for us to get on the Good Foot because we only got a few months left to this American experiment if he gets in again I simply want people to recognize what does that state I am not depending on any Republican to do what's right or just or Fair CU they want to be in control so folks don't sit here and act like we didn't tell you if it happens go to a break we'll be right back roller Martin unfiltered on the Blackstar Network support us of what we do our goal is to get 20,000 of our fans

lemons out of lemonade but there's a reason we rented a ballroom did our own show promoted it got like 1500 people to come out clubs were sitting empty they were like where's everybody at they said they're down watching the band you wouldn't hire so it taught us not only that we had to be we had the talent of musicians but we also had the T had the talent of Entrepreneurship MH it wasn't like a seat at the table it's like no let's build the table we got to build a table and and that was the thing and of course after that we got all kinds of offers of course right to come play in the clubs but we didn't do it we like now we good no we're good we're good and that's what put us on a path of national and of course when Prince made it then it was like okay we we see it can be [Music] [Applause] done hello I'm Jia Pew I am from Coatsville Pennsylvania just an hour right outside of Philadelphia my name is Jasmine Pew I'm also from Colville Pennsylvania you are watching Roland Martin unfiltered stay right here the FBI has launched an investigation into the bridge collap collaps last month uh in Baltimore Francis Scott Key bridge of course was uh nearly brought down in its entirety after uh a uh shipping container hit the bridge on Monday federal agents executed search warrants on the dolly a massive Singaporean flag cargo ship that which slamed into and brought down the bridge Reports say the investigation review the events leading up to the ship's departure from the port and whether the crew knew of potential mechanical problems that would make it unsafe in the harbor of course the bridge collapsed around short before 2 2 a.m. on March 26th after the ship crashed into a bridge column according to the ntsp Natural transportation safety board The Vessel made made a calls minutes before the crash saying it had lost power and that a collision might have been possible eight construction workers were still on the bridge two were injured and survived while the bodies of three others were recovered the remaining three are presumed dead and so that invest investigation is going on one of the things that that that that's happening in Congress to me I think is pretty stupid uh when you see this back and forth um uh um reita of Republicans uh refusing to go along with the rebuilding of this bridge saying that's not really what we pay for you know what's always amazing uh these so-called fiscal conservatives that's what they try to call themselves but it's amazing when you have natural disasters or accidents in their states where they absolutely are rushing for federal aid but oh this is Baltimore oh this is Maryland oh that's those are blue that's a blue City Blue State and it's a black State black mayor black Governor so yeah we don't we don't want to support uh any of this that's nonsense uh this is a significant Port that actually impacts millions of Americans it goes beyond just a Baltimore or a Maryland issue and you kind of cracked open something that um I'll just kind of extend what you're saying about it being a black area uh blue Democrat IC Ally is that the one of the long games that Republicans have been playing and they play this both at the local level the state level and the federal level is that they want to make things harder in states that are democratically controlled and which happen to largely be black areas so that in the end people will feel like um having electing Democrats really does not do anything for my life and it actually in some cases um can't even get some of the most simplest things done and so I'm not surprised that they are lodging this argument but like you said whenever you know you think about Ted Cruz and um when Texas needed Hurricane Relief money and how he then wanted to change everything that he had said about you know um disaster Aid and things like that so I mean I'm I'm kind of not surprised to see all of that but the other thing that this kind of reminds me too which a lot of people don't think about but as a lawmaker it's one of those things that doesn't rank very highly um when voters think about voting but it's just that you know it's important to make sure that we have a strong system of regulations as it results as it relates to um safety for our industries that you know um people are frequent industries that affect the public like utilities or like Bridges roads things that you know affect everybody that people don't really prioritize at a high level but it's important and so um frequently you see the push back of people saying oh well there's too much regulation things like that but a lot of times these regulations are about safety and so I'm interested to see what this investigation yields and I wonder if um some part of a a lack of regulations will have anything to do with what they uncover especially since they suspected they that the uh folks who were operating The Vessel may have known that there were some there were some mechanical failures um to this boat or at least whoever owned this boat they may have known there were some mechanical failures uh absolutely I'm a cono I think that this investigation you know you would think going back to these Republicans you know given that this is a foreign own vessel that people would be all about America First and let's do this investigation and see what happens we we also see that the owners of of this ship they're using laws that were used or or policies that were used to protect the that the owner of the Titanic was using to try to prevent some of their you know having to possibly pay out and and take responsibility for what happened and I'm also glad to see that uh the F some of the families have also got their own lawyers involved to investigate this as well and we see this across the country where companies whether we're talking about oil spills whether we're talking about train wrecks whether we're talking about so many things the company's going to do the first thing that they do is going to be to protect their own assets but we have to see make sure that our government is make is doing the right thing by the people on the ground and we know that with Biden he talks about making sure that everything is paid for that they can cover but we know if this was Trump they wouldn't send any resources towards that City because during covid Trump was talking about sending Aid to cities that were only Republican that you know that were red States and so when we see this investigation right now everybody you know FBI director still a republican you know these Republicans should get behind this but there going to politicize this in every way shape and form just by using Dei as relates to the mayor and the governor as you mentioned before and so this investigation needs to continue whoever needs to be held responsible and it needs to happen fast because I'm going to assume that a company this large has a big a great deal of lawyers at its disposal and knows the laws very well and so I'm glad the FBI is in it right now and I hope that this yields something that could be beneficial uh for those families and for the the people of of Baltimore Maryland and across the country because like you said we're all suffering from this right now uh indeed uh Julian you know the thing about what happened with a FR Key Bridge is that it's not just a Baltimore or a Maryland issue it's a national issue we will see some um reverberations in terms of the national economy we will see some disruptions in the supply chain in the National economy because of this and so it's very appropriate for there to be an investigation but I would propose a further investigation Roland we know that uh 20% of our nation's bridges are compromised we know that insufficient investment in infrastructure is partially a function of this these compromised Bridges it's why the American Council of civil engineers gives our infrastructure a c minus grade and we know that President Biden has done his best to spend money on infrastructure but we know where the opposition has come from so even as we look at the fris Scott Bridge we also need to look at the status of our other National Bridges because this could happen there are five or six places where this could happen again if there were such a if this was completely an accident and everything was okay but we know that everything was not okay but what we know more than that is that our infrastructure is crumbling and Republicans do not want to invest in it any as as Rita said opening up anytime there's a tragedy one of their states oh yeah let's fix it but if it's tragedy in a blue State let's Let It wither and so the investigation is a good thing it's a great thing but we really have to go beyond that that's the bottom floor and as we look up we really have to look at at the status of our infrastructure not just Bridges water we still have challenges in Michigan uh with water and that Michigan is not the only place I bet if we look at our own back door the District of Columbia let's say uh we might find some challenges with water quality in our schools as well so this just reminds us about how it's important infrastructure is because we need the reminder because this is something that we seem to want to ignore um look um we do like to ignore infrastructure but obviously this was an accident uh that took place uh but uh it's something that look the bridge needs to get rebuilt period And so Congress needs to get out their butts uh and do more all right going to a quick break uh we come back folks lots more to talk about today's Jackie Robinson Day uh his numberers number 42 is retired and all major league baseball players on today will be wearing his jersey uh during games uh and so we'll we'll chat about that also we did not talk about this here uh I do want to talk about it a week ago uh it was Hank Aaron day was the 50th anniversary of Hank Aaron breaking b b rots record 714 home runs and so I want to chat about that as well in addition to that uh I I wanted to talk about uh a different perspective also when it comes to Jackie Robinson going into quote Major League Baseball or some would say white organized baseball uh and its impact on um black on teams yep it's a lot I want to break down plus we'll be chatting with the uh history making gnist at Fisk University and her coach uh also Supreme Court issued a ruling uh when it comes to or organizing as relates to uh mcor's Community activist uh d messen uh I'll actually tell you what the Supreme Court decided or didn't decide next on roller Martin unfiltered on the Blackstar Network I'm fori Muhammed live from LA and this is the culture the culture is a two-way conversation you and me

and yet half of our schools in this country don't even teach it to our kids you're going to hear from a woman who's determined to change all that not only here but around the world world of money is the leading provider of imersa financial education for children ages 7 to 18 we provide 120 online and classroom hours of financial education that's right here on get Wealthy on black star Network hello I'm Marissa Mitchell a news anchor at Fox 5 BC hey what's up it's Tammy Roman and you are watching Roland Martin [Music] unfiltered all right folks uh today the Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal uh by activist dur McKesson this stems from a protest that took place several years ago in Louisiana regarding around Alton Sterling now uh of course the the decision would be whether or not the leader of a demonstration could be sued for an injury to a police officer which was caused by another protester now that leaves in place the ruling mother's fifth fth circuit and the Very concern fifth circuit ruled that a person can be held liable for the violent actions of a random protester now there still are other things that have happened in the LA court which was stated by uh Jus son so so to my or but but this really is a very dangerous case um um Julian because um what you have here is a police officer who says that he was injured by another protester and so therefore he sued dur McKesson individually as saying oh you planned this you organize this when he actually said he didn't so therefore I am going to hold you liable for my injuries even though D didn't even know who the hell the alert perpetrator was you know so again we talked earlier about the retrenchment on our rights one of our rights is a right to protest and this is a right that we've seen over the past few years um protesters being uh arrested protesters being fined and this is just an extension of that there is no way on this Lord's Earth that der McKesson should be responsible for anything but you have these Unleashed rabid races uh who don't want to they want us to disappear they don't want to see people protesting they don't want to see people out there so what tools can they use what tools can they manufacture to discourage Civic engagement and this is one of them having to Sue this the the leader of a pro the so-call leader of protest who says he didn't even organize it but you can just pull this out of basically thin air and say oh yeah he organized it so I'm GNA sue him no direct connection no a straight line maybe a dotted line and not even clearly a dotted line um it's absurd but again we're seeing our rights retrenched and be seeing our rights retrench means this has to motivate us to just fight harder um the Supreme cour we don't trust anything the Supreme Court does and we know why you know this is uh this also shows uh folks uh Rita why federal judges matter for anybody out there who's sitting here going oh man I know you keep bringing this sort of stuff up this is a federal lawsuit and so if these judges uh if they frankly rule against dur what they're basically saying is oh if anybody organizes a protest you may or if you simply or they just accuse you of attending one oh you could be liable if somebody gets hurt right and so what this will do is have an effect on organizing and have an effect on Free Speech because it could make some folks um feel that they cannot take the risk of organizing a protest which is generally open to the public if they have to take responsibility for whatever happens of that protest I mean I do think this is going to be really interesting in the courts because one thing about it as they are trying to Target um and crack down on descent and they're trying to Target black people um standing up for and saying what we need to have in this country as far as it relates to Justice and many of the issues that we are using our voices for all of these decisions are still going to be tied to other things that are important to many of the folks who are bringing these lawsuits so I don't see how you can say that a public protest which is generally open to the public the organizer of that is responsible for any and everything that happens and responsible for people who they didn't even invite who show up to the protest and and call and have an issue they're responsible for that well then how is that different than having a open music concert and maybe in the crowd somebody drinks a little too much and gets into a fight with another person you're telling me that now liveaction or whoever put on the the um the the um put on the music event is now responsible for uh things like that instead of individual responsibility so I think that you know these the way that the Supreme Court is moving where they are moving in ways that are very Niche to fit their agenda are going to have larger ramifications that in the end will bite everybody in the butt I'm a cono uh we also have to be mindful that this is also going to be selectively used because in many of these states like Florida and other places which we also talked about last week as well their Governors are introducing laws that are making it okay to run over protesters if they feel like their life is threatened and I can guarantee like depending on who the who the person in the car is whoever they run over they're not going to face particular charges let's also be mindful of the fact that this protest was to protest the killing of of Alton Sterling and those officers who killed him there were no charges even filed against him and so police officers you we don't want anybody getting injured or hurt but that sometimes also comes with the job and so if people are going to make more of a bigger deal of that than the particular situation they were protesting in the first place that also reveals the hypocrisy and every state and every across the country we need to be mindful particularly with these Republican Governors they are going to continue to do things like this and police are going to feel more emboldened and we wouldn't be surprised to find out even if some of these other protest cuz you know we going to keep protesting anyway they invite some people there to be disruptor some people who be there who can actually attack police or or hurt other people so these types of lawsuits can continue to happen to defame them so this is a a real problem and it's going to be Loosely applied primarily towards people who are anti-trump in some way shape or form or people who are considered to be quote unquote anti- police or black lives that matter activists in general it's the hypocrisy of it Rolland that is glaring particularly in the fact that this was a protest uh after the Mur after the killing of Al Alton Sterling and the fact of the matter is we're not getting Justice for the rallies that we're showing up to in the first place but these particular smaller incidents are gaining more attention and making their way all the way up to the Supreme Court um inde indeed so like I said uh there are some other cases uh winding its way through the courts and so we'll be paying attention to this but um uh we'll see what action takes place next all right folks we come back it's Jackie Robinson Day in maor League Baseball uh we'll talk about that and also uh reflect on last year when we were in New York City for the grand opening of the Jackie Robinson Museum that's next right here on rolling Martin unfiltered on the Black Star Network Live from Myrtle Beach South Carolina I'm

Financial education for children ages 7 to 18 we provide 120 online and classroom hours of financial education that's right here on get Wealthy on BlackStar Network I'm faraji Muhammed 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 The Bad and The downright ugly so join our community every day at 300 p.m. eastern time and let your voice be heard hey we're all in this together so let's talk about it and see what kind of trouble we can get into it's the culture weekdays at 3 only on the Blackstar Network hi everybody I'm Kim Co hey I'm Donnie Simpson yo it's your man Deion Cole from blackish and you watching Roland Martin unfiled [Music] April is National minority health month April's National minority health month folks and look there are always issues we often talk about these things on this show uh and one of the big issues that obviously impact African-Americans uh is really mistrust of the health care industry joining me from Xavier University is Christian M Kiren McGowan uh so Kirsten glad to have you uh on uh the show you know this this point here in terms of uh in terms of you know trust in the medical industry um and so much of this is because there are very few when you look at the numbers medical practitioners that look like us when you begin to talk about doctors obviously we have high numbers when it comes to nurses but once you go into Specialists you see few and few of us and so frankly for African-Americans uh we feel more comfortable uh with individuals who look like us uh who know us uh and who have an understanding of who we are absolutely um I'm sorry I was waiting on a second to time in um I definitely agree with you when it comes to that I feel like one of the other big pieces that kind of plays a huge role in that is honestly the lack of cultural competence when it comes to the providers that we do actually have so when you're going to the doctor and you know they're looking at you like oh my goodness my patient is non inherent so that means that like they're not doing what I asked of them but they're not thinking of like okay maybe they're not doing what I asked of them because of you know social determinance of health or something that may be going on culturally so you really have to look at the patient as a whole person instead of just looking at the numbers and when you look at things historically especially you see that there's been a history and a pattern almost of you know Health Care Providers taking advantage of these minority populations so it's understandable and I feel like as healthc care providers the best thing you can do to kind of combat that is really just look it in the face and say hey I understand that this may be a barrier but I'm here for you I'm here for this um and uh but but one of the things that and we we also always really encourage this uh is making sure that our people are asking questions probing and forget this whole thing about uh being the angry black man the angry black woman your health is the most important thing and you can be you should be asking those questions and demanding those answers as a patient I 100% agree with that but sometimes when when you see patients it's kind of like what questions do you ask because I come from a healthc care background and I'm going for my doctorate in Pharmacy I know how to ask questions in regards to my health and I know how to say hey like what about this what are some side effects with this medication you know what does a successful treatment look like here a lot of patients are coming in really blind and don't really understand like what questions they should ask I guess the biggest thing that they can ask is like you know what medication am I going to be on how long am I going to be on it you know when do I come back but outside of that there isn't much dialogue because you can expect patients to ask but how do you know what's a good question how do you know what to ask you know oh absolutely uh well speaking of questions let's go to my panel right now uh you first I I really appreciate all of the incredible work that you're doing I have a question as relates to you being a pharmacy student right now we see a lot of conversation about how medical providers because of issues relating to abortion and abortion care are leaving states that they may be fearing doing work in are you seeing similar concerns as it relates to students who may not want to be in certain places because of the Dei backlash and how that might affect their ability to be able to be in schools and be in places like you are and also work with some of these patients who might be also having this level of distrust as well I think one of the biggest things I'm seeing from a student perspective is that we as students are like oh my goodness like we're really watching um different laws and protections especially when it comes to maternal Health um we're watching that being Stripped Away and it's it's something that we're just becoming more fearful of I haven't really heard many conversations of oh I don't want to practice in this state because of this um the result of you know a reversal of a law or a clause I haven't really been seeing much of that but it's more so like okay we know that we have an opportunity to go into the healthcare field to make a difference that's exactly what we're striving to do how do we do it within these parameters and how do we ensure that we're still making you know Society a more just and Humane space but the reality too's point though uh that is happening I remember uh in New Orleans um I'm pulling the story up um you had an OBGYN uh who left who um one of the practitioners and so what you do you do we are seeing that there are people who are deciding they're not going to work in certain States because of bills that they passed uh dealing with lgbtq dealing with transgender dealing with abortion uh and so this is going to be uh an issue that we have to face I want 100% % agree that it's going to be an issue that we have to face um when it comes to me personally I plan to go back to like the Midwest so when I think about practicing it's not something that is in like the Forefront of my mind but I could definitely understand how practicing in a state like this could be very difficult and very much so like a big contradictory type situation because if you believe that you you know Assist a patient no matter what and you go to B for them no matter what but then the law legitimately says that you no longer have that right to do everything in power for your patients that's a scary thing so I can definitely understand why some people are choosing to leave Renita well thank you for being here uh just a quick question do you know of any specific resources um that would help black patients in particular Advocate better for themselves um when they go to the doctor because as you mentioned before a lot of times people just don't know what they don't know and so that can impact what type of questions they ask so are you aware of any specific resources that can better help black patients advocate for themselves absolutely um one of the biggest resources I would definitely recommend is utilizing Google and I know it sounds very crazy but I would say if you are you know a diabetic patient look up diabetes try and understand what it actually is there are so many different resources especially on YouTube that actually break down like the pathophysiology and you know the treatment uh protocols for different disease States so if you really are unsure of what to ask you utilize YouTube utilize Google find out everything you possibly can about the disease state that you're currently experiencing or the one that your loved one is and figure out like you know what could go wrong what medications are they typically on what side effects um come along with these medications how can a person's life be altered due to you know this uh diagnosis or due to the introduction of a different medication or a new medication find out as much as you possibly can utilizing Google YouTube um I would stay away from things like you know Wikipedia and you know Web MD just because sometimes it can be very much so filled with a lot of medical jargon but if you're looking for something that's very easily digestible definitely utilizing Google and YouTube to just figure out as much as you can about the disease State and then being like okay so what am I particularly you know worried about and then you can go from there Julie on uh first of all thank you and reita for raising the important issue of asking questions and I think that often people especially as they age or as as if they are not educated ought to bring somebody with them uh often if you're also talking about your own medical situation you could get confused and um or overwhelmed and it's useful to have someone Advocate or someone with you even even if it's just a friend to um to hear what the doctor has said now um I've done a little bit of work on health disparities and I'm I boil it down to access assets and attitudes and of course those who have more money have better health care most of the time access those who have access have better care but the issue that I'd like you to address and that we need to deal with is also attitudes not only our attitudes towards Health Care often not speaking up uh being distrustful of doctors but also their attitudes towards us it's all too often we everybody talks about the case of Serena Williams but that's not the only case of a well situated black person basically being ignored and we're seeing with maternal Health um so many deaths women who are pregnant dying so H how do they address these attitudes in medical school so that non-culturally competent doctors uh take get the opportunity to look at this through a different lens um thank you for that question Sor um I would definitely say that one of the biggest things that they teach us is to be culturally competent but also to find a way to give your patient a voice and I feel like a lot of times because of you know a multitude of reasons that a lot of Health Care Providers don't really open up the floor to patients and one thing that I'm seeing more and more of especially as I do rounds and rotations in hospital settings and even in clinical settings is that healthc care providers are being a lot more intentional about saying hey like and is what I'm doing and the information that I'm giving to you is this is helpful to you are you able to actually digest it and actually giving them that space to kind of level with you and say like hey I understand exactly what you're saying or I have no clue what you're saying to me all I know is that I need to come back here in three months so I feel like um as a people and just as patients in general we have to get really comfortable in saying like even if your provider does not offer you that space take that space if they're in front of you and you are not understanding at all what's going on you can ask them hey can you break this down to me one of the first things that they teach you in medical school pharmacy school nursing school any kind of Medical Professional School is how to communicate disease States and lifestyle modifications in layman's term so if you're not understanding something you have to be really comfortable and saying like hey I don't know what this is I need a little bit more help and assistance in understanding and digesting this so that I can get the best possible health health outcome thank you Sora app all right then and all right then well we certainly appreciate it uh thank you so very much uh for that uh and again I think one of the things that we we are constantly encouraging our folks uh again is to take as much interest in your own health don't just you know yes doctors are important uh pharmacists are important uh but ask questions uh as much as possible so we have Clarity on whatever information that we're trying to find out K from the government thanks a lot thank you folks we come back we'll talk about Jackie Robinson Day in Major League Baseball also uh we show you some of the fun stuff that took place here uh at the

play in the white clubs in Minnesota it felt like such a um you know strength through adversity type moment that I think black people just have to go through you know we have to figure it out you know we make we make you know lemons out of lemonade but there's a reason we rented a ballroom did our own show promoted it got like 1500 people to come out clubs were sitting empty they were like where's

was like okay we we see it can be done [Music] [Applause] next on the black table with me Greg Carr the enormous impact of race education and affirmative action in America and how Believe It or Not White America is starting to feel a little bit of the pain Dr Natasha waraku joins us with a case study of one suburban community and how it reacted when the minority students started to excel most people didn't say that explicitly but was that you know the academics are getting standards are getting higher in part because of the Asian kids and that is making our kids really stressed out so we need to reduce the amount of homework teachers are allowed to um assign she shares a perspective that you don't want to miss that's on the next black table only on the Black Star Network what's good y'all this is Doug E fresh and you're watching my brother Roland Martin filtered as we go a little something like this hit it it's real [Music] [Music] [Music] 77 years ago Jack Robertson broke the color barrier becoming the first African-American to play in white baseball yeah I don't call it Major League Baseball because the reality is uh the major league Talent was in the Negro Leagues they were precluded from being in the so-called major leagues because of racism it was racist who kept them out and the reason I'm using that language is because I believe we need to use proper language it was white organized baseball and I think we do a disservice to our people and to our history when we call what they were doing Major League Baseball you see right here I have two hats right here is the Kansas City monarchs right here is the Brooklyn Dodgers and so I purposely have them yesterday I uh I was at the tournament here and I wore the Kansas City Monarch jersey number 25 Satchel Page and I had the hat today and and the reason that's important is because without one there's no other without the Negro Leagues you don't have Jackie Robinson going to play in white baseball but we also have to call it white baseball because that's what it was how they systematically kept black people out even when Jackie Robinson was the one they allowed in there were limits to how many black players could be on one team Jackie Robertson was the first black ma in uh on the national league uh then of course you had Larry Dolby in the American League but I also want us to understand that when we are factoring in our desires and and and what we trying to prove and let's remember people we can do well we could play with them white boys we already knew that but Jackie Robinson going to White baseball breaking down those barriers breaking down those doors also serve as a death Dell to the Negro Leagues they accepted black talent but did not accept black owners it's no different when Fritz Pard when they had a better team a better League before the NFL they accepted black players but did not accept black owners the NBA there were black teams that have had black ownership but they wanted black talent but they did not want black owners and so we need to keep that in mind when we are talking about these historical events because we have to recognize that when we are saying certain things the impact they will have on those who are listening year ago we were in New York City for the own for the opening of the Jackie Robinson Museum museum with the first news Outlet allowed to broadcast from inside the museum and the museum tells the story of Jackie Robinson not just the baseball story it tells the story of him becoming the executive with chalk full of nuts the first black senior executive at a major company tells a story about his involvement in political campaigns it tells a story about him raising money for the naac at the freedom fund it tells a story about him being involved in the opening a black Bank in Harlem why am I say all of that because Jackie Robinson Day cannot and should not be reduced to this jersey our kids should be reading I never had it made the book written by Jackie Robins what I do not want us as African-Americans to do I do not want us to allow Jackie Robinson and other significant figures in American history and our history to be reduced to what I call a civil rights bobblehead figure because they're more than just that last week last Monday was the 50th anniversary of Hank Aaron breaking babe ru's home run record 714 home runs he hit the Home Run you see right here the 715th home run he got death threats it was the worst experience uh because they wanted him dead how dare you as a black man break a record from a white man Babe Ruth Babe Ruth with his national hero in fact when you see this video I want you to see the black woman who runs to home flake to hug Henry Hank Aaron that was his mama cuz she was afraid he was going to be shot and she say she said before they can get to him they going to have to shoot me you'll see in a second Henry Hank Aaron talked about this not being a gratifying moment [Music] now y'all just hear that you just heard the announcers say a black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South that was the baseball announcer who said that I'm saying all of this because I fundamentally believe that when we talk about these things we leave out the massive racism that Jackie Robinson Henry Hank Aaron and other ball players had to endure because we want to sanitize their story to make them more palatable to White America cono your thoughts you know uh I I I think about Hank Aaron and I think about Jackie Robinson and how Hank Aaron talked about when he saw Jackie Robinson speaking when he was like age 14 that's what encouraged him to want to play baseball and that you know Jackie Robinson who was his mentor for so long taught him to you know always bear down but never bow down and so we're talking about two people with Incredible dignity when you take it to the deeper story we are still seeing the problem to today where we are still too happy to just like you said have the bobble head have the standing ovations have play at center field and you know and things like that but even when you talk about Hollywood and you talk about we so concentrated on the show but not the business when we we get into these organizations and then we let the infrastructure that we build we let it crumble because we're just so happy to be in that space and with all of the resources that we have today you know we see what ice Cub's doing like the big three and the like but we should be having more ownership if we're going to stay embedded in these organizations NBA NFL and so on and so forth we need to do more to demand more ownership but it's high time we start re looking at doing things again ourselves and on our own whether it's college players you know skipping you know some of these uh racist white institutions that are back in Dei and start going to some HBCU there's so many opportunities rolling look look at the Black Star Network you could be all over all of these other spaces but you chose to put something and break something down for us for the people and if we just had a little bit more of that mindset we can create something better like you said the Negro Leagues we should have never let it fold but we can create something strong just as strong now and when we see this today people are still going to get mad at our Swagger they still look at angel Reese getting death threats you know just for winning that championship at LSU and daring to be herself they're always going to be mad they're always going to be frustrated but we have to make sure that we have the ability to create something that we can actually own and not just go with the whims of what they're saying so on this anniversary that we're talking about now Hank Aon last week and Jackie Robinson day today we should use this as a reminder that it's time to reexamine our role with these Sports and all of these entertainment structures and start really focus on how we can build something that's going to be lasting for us friends talked about that at the music awards you know years ago as well we have to do that now so we can ourselves up to that next level so that people don't have to worry about taking 227 years before we equal the level of white wealth that we have today that they have today we can do better and this is a great time to reflect on it and I'm so glad you're doing this segment to speak on it um folks last year when we were at the opening of the Jackie Robinson Museum got a chance to uh chat with journalist Howard Bryan he is the author of a book on Henry Aaron just so folks know uh Henry Aaron never liked being called Hank Aaron uh and he would always he always say you always knew who his friends were because his friends called him Henry not Hank uh just want to want you to hear what uh what Howard had to say last year folks Howard Bryant um journalist author books on Ricky Henderson Henry Aaron we can go on and on and on all kind of ritten books uh just your thoughts on this finally open open 5 years after the ground break well I'm I'm just pleased about it for lots of reasons I mean one to have it open a week after Rachel's birthday and all of the consternation about trying to get it open and and not to be morbid but we wanted to her to see it and after each delay and each delay you were like are we gonna get there are we gonna get there are we gonna get there and also I feel very personal for it as well because they asked me to write you know some of the museum exibit which has been which was an honor so to see it to see this this space from just concrete to a finished product it almost feels like writing a book where it starts from nothing and then it ends up as something and then now it's something for everyone to see it's amazing uh Billy Aaron is here the Widow of uh Henry Aaron um so many people uh who who knew him uh who who played with him uh and for them to also experience this and the beauty of this that was in there yesterday is that it doesn't just talk about him as a b player it's him in his totality well there's no question when we were in the in the planning sessions of what this script was going to look like one of the things that was emphasized to me over and over again is this is not a baseball Museum there's GNA be baseball in it but this is not going to be defined by baseball and I remember stepping back going okay but how do we know Jackie we know Jackie as a baseball player we know what made Jackie famous and what is the the strategy and what are the calculations of do you emphasize the fan service why are people coming here or do you emphasize something else which is okay here's the totality of the person and I think that it struck a really great balance of making sure that you come for the baseball but you stay for the man or you come for the man and then you get some baseball as well uh and going through it uh when you look at uh first of all the NAACP when you look at again and I fact I was telling one of the folks I really hope that they hit TNT uh to to have that that movie Andre brow portray him the court Marsh from Jackie Robinson because you can't find it anywhere I said because again that's a story very few people know about how this man put it on the line facing a dishonorable discharge uh and he did that before Rosa Parks I mean this is somebody who said no no I I'm not going to the back of the bus in at Fort Hood clean that's right and and I I think what's most amazing about Jackie and it's always been something especially when you look at the history of who he was as a person where did that drive come from where did that courage come from the willingness to do this knowing the price and nobody knows who Jackie Robinson is at the time so everything he did was on principle there's no Grand standing here there's nothing performative about what he did what's right is right and that's it I mean he was a great College athlete but at that time but even before he was a college athlete he was doing this stuff yeah even before you know when he was at Pasadena there was always some moment somewhere where Jackie Robinson was involved in right and wrong and so to me it was just something inherent in him and I just find him to be so you know inspirational is one word but he's incredible yeah because when you talk about who he is or who he was as a person it's not just the B B first black man to integrate Corporate America first black man to be on the broadcast and N you know in the in the broadcast Booth first black VP in the country I mean all of these different first and and and also on on on top of being those first it's the vision that here's what I'm all about I'm also about making sure that black people had agency in terms of their own money so in terms of trying to start the freedom National Bank all of these things they all add up to the same the same vision which is I am here for my people and then just have um okay um all right folks um Rita well I just think that um all of this is massively more important today than it has ever been um as it relates to having Jackie Robinson Day having the museum and talking about these anniversaries because we're in a time where Southern States in particular but you know States across the country have passed bills to say that you cannot teach um accurate history some of these bills even say things like you can't teach anything that's going to make a white student um uncomfortable and so with the suppressing of our history being taught in school and us not being able to have accurate history taught in school for Generations that are coming behind us even having a Jackie Robinson Day prompts people to say hm okay well why is Jackie Robinson famous what is his story and you can't help but when you hear his story that brings about asking larger questions that inevitably get our history told you can't understand why Jackie Robinson's uh what everything that he did was so important without bringing larger questions to your mind like what was it like for other black players why was this needed why was all of the activism that he was doing you know why was this needed for black people what was the conditions of black what were the conditions of black people in that time that would have made all of this very necessary so I think that it really just kind of goes to show that you know with the suppression of teaching accurate history in schools and I'm not saying that having Jackie Robinson day or a museum is a substitute for that but it is one vehicle that will help us to make sure that we are still teaching our history and still furthering the legacies Julian yeah thank you for doing this segment Roland I think it's so very important for us to remember the history as Rita has said but more than remembering the H the today celebrates Jackie Robinson as a baseball player but he was so much more than that I mean he was an activist he put so many things on the line he was selected because theoretically to be the first black uh player because theoretically he had a moderate temperament but he didn't he struggled with his temperament because basically he acutely felt Injustice and in in feeling that Injustice he empowered our people essentially to rise up to stand up people were enormously proud of him but I think that contemporary young people need to know his multi-dimensionality and not just that he was the first black baseball player I think the other big piece about this as we talk about eraser because that's what's really happening a lot of people would erase us would um basically want to erase our exist existence through these um book Bannings through the um outlawing of diversity equity and inclusion and through any number of other things it's important for us to stand and say we will celebrate this man and we will celebrate his legacy and every aspect of it understanding that he was indeed a rebel understanding that he was able to uh hide that Rebellion but that the re Rebel and all us needs to be awakened we think about Jackie Robinson and the things that he was willing to do to make history for our people I mean he was willing to Bridle his temperament he was willing um to be an uncomfortable situation is willing to endure death threats and willing have people throw stuff at him when he was on the baseball field and nobody his teammates didn't stand up for him few stood up for him but our people were there and we were watching so I find this exciting I the museum being up uh you know I love museums and so anytime we have an edifice that's actually containing the history I think that's really very important so I get the segment is very important R you w as I think obonga would probably say because he said it before when find this in mainstream media uh but this is why the Blackstar network is is such an important addition to the media landscape and a unique addition that again very many people would like to erase our history or somebody probably said a little something something and and not very much and let me just I know you're the big golfer golf lover and uh we know the the Masters which I hate that word but whatever occurred um and although Tiger Woods has you know he he's 4 something and he can't play golf like he used to he was pivotal to that game as well and we should never forget him or Lee Elder who preceded him in the game of golf and and then finally we look at all this and look at this history the the words you used sometimes you smarter than I give you credit for when you said let's not call it Major League Baseball let's call it white we have to talk about nomenclature we have to talk about the words we use and the credit we give because were it not for the Negro League you wouldn't have had this and the Negro Leagues were brilliant they played circles around the white folks and that's why they wanted Jackie Robinson Hank Aaron and so many others yep well uh that is certainly uh the case uh and uh we want to do this year we want to close this segment out uh because last year I also talked to another history maker Billy J King on just turned 100 few days ago and she's here to celebrate the cup with the ribon but it's about equality it's about racism it's about all these things that as the younger Generations have got to learn about his about Jackie's Legacy and all he did and Jackie was a real hero in our family in the 50s so you know my dad played basketball against him he went to lomby city and Jackie went to Pasad City so I've known about Jackie Robbins for my whole life and he's always a hero in our home and and what he represented and how he did it I have no idea putting up the racism the slurs that just how horrible humans can be to each other and he just just hung in there every day and he must I I just can't believe how he got through this um but he did and he such a great example and U such a hero to all of us um everyone and I know we're fighting racism but I can tell you a lot of white people including me love loved him loved what he stands for and continue to appreciate the kids who are getting the scholarships I think that's really important that and that his legacy will truly live on with Rachel's idea of having the Jackie Robinson Museum going to a break we come back uh we'll talk to a young history maker who made history this weekend for Fisk University and all HBCU you're watching Roland Martin unfiltered on the

Blackstar Network this is Reggie Rock with you're watching Rolland Martin unfiltered uncut unplugged and undamned believable you hear me [Music] [Music] history was made this weekend when Morgan price became the first HBC HBCU gymnast uh to ever win a US gymnastics women's Collegiate national championship this took place in Westchester Pennsylvania of course Morgan a sophomore posted a 39.25 total score uh she got a 9.85 on the floor exercise a 9.85 on the Vault 9.8 on the bars and 9.750 on the balance beam to secure the championship Morgan and her Coach Ken Tarver join us now glad to have both of you here uh Morgan when you decided to uh pass up other uh well-known uh programs uh that had gymnastic programs uh you know major schools pwi you like all right let's go to F FIS and make some history didn't take you long yeah talk about the experience talk about what it was like uh performing this with this uh this weekend and then of course hearing your name uh call as number one yeah so um I made it to Nationals last year as well but I didn't really perform how I wanted to and I know this year I worked even extra hard so that I could hopefully get the national title and so after my competition I knew that I did like pretty good but I honestly didn't know that I got first because I had to wait for the second session to go but after I found out that I won I was just really proud of myself and really grateful to be on an HBCU gymnastics team Karen this is also why you wanted to uh lead this program uh and so uh you gotta be feeling pretty good yourself yeah definitely um it's it's great to be able to show that you know like like we like to say black girl magic but that you don't necessarily have to be at a major school or a huge school in order to be successful in the sport of gymnastics and you can be at an HBCU and still have you know a national championship and it leads to things such as uh us being interviewed here today you know on that particular point there I mean obviously we see what's happening uh when it comes to football when it comes to basketball um uh but but but you're seeing uh over the last Wednesday and Thursday I was in at the at in Augusta uh at uh uh you know for for the Masters and Mercedes uh they had the morous men's golf team there uh we look at uh some HBCU are looking at adding lacrosse teams and other sports and so uh what we're seeing also Morgan are black athletes competing in what we call nontraditional Sports it's not just about uh if you're if you're an African-American that you have to it must be you know basketball it must be football uh it can be other sports uh that that black athletes can excel at yes of course so for you uh when did you first start in gymnastics um I started when I was two years old started with two uh and obviously um that we often hear that Ken uh a lot of gym start very very very young uh have you seen uh since uh Morgan arrived on the campus since this program started uh uh uh have you gotten a lot of Outreach from other parents uh who now are interested in their children uh coming to fist to be a part of the gymnastic team well we get a lot of you know young kids that are wearing our leotards and wearing our t-shirts and so we love seeing that love seeing um and it's not even just uh little girls of color we we see lots of little girls that that have a fiscally Ardon and you know those that want to be a part and want to do gymnastics uh sometimes it was just a a pipe dream maybe and now they're starting to get serious about it I've had parents say to me oh great now my kids wants to be on team and and that's just a lot of commitment so um not that they're not there for them of course they are but it it is a lot of commitment this word to gymnastics so we're excited to see what the future holds and hopefully this means that at the Grassroots and the lower levels we'll see more young women of color um first y'all can if y'all send a fist gymnastic shirt t-shirt I wear it on the show we'll bypass the leotard uh let's go to let's go to questions uh from our panel uh Rita you first Morgan congratulations um this is such a heartwarming story congratulations to your big win and making history um just know that whatever happens in the future you have already done an amazing job and this is uh something that is just amazing for for the community as a whole to see I do want to ask you what are your plans for the future I'm sure you have a bright future um ahead of you are you trying to make it to the Olympics or what what are your goals for um being gymnast overall but first I want to say thank you so much um I don't really have plans to go to the Olympics really just I've already kind of lived out my dream of being a HBCU gymnast so I'm just going to enjoy um the next two years that I have being on this team um I my future goals also include being a gymnastics head coach so that will be like one of my main goals after I finish college good luck let me let me follow up on that one because I mean obviously uh the Olympics is a whole different deal so so so Morgan are you saying that in order for to go after uh an Olympic bid that that alters you your your student schedule that alters your schedule being on the team or are you just not interested uh in pursuing an Olympic spot um well for the Olympics it's kind of hard well it's extremely hard for a gymnastics and normally you do it before you get to college gymnastics um not saying that you can't reach that goal after college gymnastics but it is a whole different type of training and personally me I did not want to train for that again I just wanted to be an HBCU gymnast and win national titles so so it's just not really in my mindset uh Hey Karan can you explain that for people who really don't understand uh you know really you know that difference uh because we've seen you know other collegate gymnast uh gymnasts uh you know perform there but when you look at many of the many of the gymnast who you know who are on the national teams they actually aren't uh tied to any University team yes so what happens is um when you're training Elite you're basically training 40 hours a week There's it's a full-time job so in order to truly do it um you do see some college gymnasts do it but it's really hard on the body because the college gymnastics season beats up the body as it is because they compete every single weekend and it's a very condensed amount of time so they start in January they're done by April and they put more they do more competitions than they do when they're in Club Gymnastics so um it's hard to than finish your college season and then all of a sudden do an elite season so you don't see too many people try it just because honestly the body can't hold it up very much if you look at the girls other than Jay Cary most of the girls who did college gymnastics and are going for the Olympics have dropped out of school for this semester or for the year to train for the Olympics so it's it's a completely different type of training um our athletes train about 15 to 20 hours a week depending on the week compared to 40 hours a week when you're Elite so um for many of the girls when they get to College they they really um don't their bodies are kind of already beat up a little bit and they're just not really looking to kind of maintain that type of training it's it's a lot it's a lot and then do it and then only have maybe what four people five people actually going to make the team so to do so much and you have to give up so much to not necessarily have as big of a chance for them they just enjoy College mango Morgan congratulations uh this is really such an amazing feat and looking at the videos I I want to ask you how do you decide to just or when did you decide to just get out there and be yourself you seem you know very authentic you just seem like you're just out there being free enjoying who you are and many times when we get in as Roland was saying these non-traditional spaces we kind of feel like we have to conform and change up who we are but you're just there showing that Grace showing that that Blackness showing that incredible skill what what's it like you know just deciding to be authentic and just getting out there and being who you are in this space um I feel like it came from when I was a little girl doing gymnastics honestly um I've always loved to just put on a show every time I go out there because I would never want the crowd to like watch my gymnastics and feel like it's boring ever especially in my floratine so in my Flor tee I really like to express my emotions and just show kind of my personality and I feel like that just helps me um do gymnastics as well because I love the sport I love my team the school and everything about gymnastics so adding my little like personality and Pizzaz just really helps me and I feel like that differen me from other gymnasts Julian well first of all Morgan and Karen congratulations you made HBCU history and I think it's really great or I enjoyed watching you all that SASS and all of that and the grace the combination was amazing one of the things we're seeing is HBCU um going into non-traditional Sports Howard University just um was the first HBCU to participate in a figure skating competition we uh see others um fencing and golf and we see our African-American young men and women participating in were there barriers that you did not anticipate Morgan or Karin as you entered this competition our biggest barri is the fact that we're in Ni school not an NCA school so it's not so much connected to being in HBCU but being um not being in the same league um so we we have that obstacle so we can't bring an entire team and we can only bring one athlete per event plus one all-arounder so a maxim of five um sometimes this year uh it because of scratches and people who were injured there were um opportunities to bring more but you know we're we're not really able to bring every athlete who qualifies so that is a little bit um disappointing and it is something that we are working towards it's something every year that when I sit in meetings I propose that we be allowed to bring more athletes and so I think and it's a matter of time before um hopefully they they will change that and allow us to bring more athletes but I think about being in in these spaces the obstacles I mean the one good thing about gymnastics is your your talent is going to speak for itself so if you have an amazing Vault it's going to speak for itself you don't you don't have to convince someone you have a great Vault it either it is or it or it's not so you know a lot of the obstacles are self inflicted you know is how much you work how hard you work how much dedication you have so as long as you were able to get out there and get the job done who's who's going to take that away now doesn't mean that that doesn't happen doesn't mean that the subjective ESS of the sport can't hurt athletes of color because it it most definitely does but you know all we can do is keep plugging away and you know training hard and really being better than everyone else know but other college athletes have talked about locker room sabotage like strings being cut stuff like that did you experience any of that Morgan no ma'am I did not gymnastics is not gymnastics is a different world I mean well if you could have been there you would have seen that the the athletes from it didn't matter what team it was they were all cheering for Morgan and the other athletes from Tega um everybody was cheering it didn't matter who they were so uh we've gotten a amazing reception from the athletes we've got amazing reception from coaches from the audience um I would say that we we're definitely one sport that doesn't seem to run into those kinds of issues um overall we're we're I mean it but there's a lot of love overall I mean we we all cheer for each other it doesn't matter what team you're on everybody came to see you know lynen wood which was their their last competition ever and everyone was there and in tears because you know we felt for the girls of that team and we you know we wanted to support them so I don't think it really matters um our sport just doesn't work that way all right then well uh Karan and Morgan we certainly appreciate y'all joining us uh continued success uh with uh FIS University gymnastics team thank you thank you so much and shout out to former president van newerk senior for greenlighting the creation of that team as well also folks over the weekend the North Carolina &t Cheer Team uh they also uh won uh a cheering competition uh some say they were the first to do so and in fact they weren't Texas Southern University they were the first uh but still big congratulations to North Carolina ENT let me thank uh Julian Rita and omongo for being on today's
