Description

Black media doesn’t just face funding gaps — it’s battling systemic sabotage. Roland Martin calls out legacy media, and even members of our own community for turning their backs while white-owned platforms rake in billions off Black culture. If you're not supporting Black media, you're part of the problem. 🔥 They profit off us. Then punish us for telling our stories. 🔥 “YouTube literally told me Black news won’t work.” — Roland 🔥 “There’s only one boss here — and that’s God.” 🔥 Imagine if 100 Black celebrities wore Black-owned brands — the economics would shift overnight 🔥 If you won’t support Black media, shut up about what we don’t get #BlackMediaMatters #RolandMartinUnfiltered #BlackStarNetwork #MediaJustice Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjXB7nX8bL2U2sje8d212Yw/join Support #RolandMartinUnfiltered and #BlackStarNetwork 👉🏾 Use Cash App by visiting Stripe https://buy.stripe.com/7sI3ccgYyfSQ8y45kl 👉🏾 PayPal ☛ https://www.paypal.me/rmartinunfiltered Venmo ☛https://venmo.com/rmunfiltered Zelle ☛ [email protected] Annual or monthly recurring #BringTheFunk Fan Club membership via paypal ☛ https://rolandsmartin.com/rmu-paypal/ Download the #BlackStarNetwork app on iOS, AppleTV, Android, Android TV, Roku, FireTV, SamsungTV and XBox 👉🏾 http://www.blackstarnetwork.com #RolandMartinUnfiltered and the #BlackStarNetwork are news reporting platforms covered under Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

MLK Jr. realized this too late. That's when he made that statement about leading his people into a burning building when talking about integration. Dr. Claude Anderson have been talking about this very thing for years on YouTube but I don't recall this channel running any of his videos or interviewing him. I haven't bought a stich of expensive designer clothing or expensive designers shoes. I owned one pair of Nike cleats that were given to me for free from a local college because in the early 80s it was impossible to find cleats over the size 11. I owned one gold watch and no other piece of gold jewelry. I support black owned products and businesses as much as I can until I realize it will make me go broke doing so. Not having a large enough black distribution network to bring prices down is expensive to support.
