Roland Ethers ‘Silent and Complicit Negroes’ for Doing Nothing as Republicans Roll Out Jim Crow 2.0. Roland Martin unloads on Black leaders who stay silent while Republicans openly move to roll back voting rights and resurrect Jim Crow by policy. Silence isn’t neutral. As Republicans accelerate voter suppression and civil rights rollbacks, Roland Martin calls out Black leaders who refuse to speak up, naming complicity as the grease that keeps Jim Crow 2.0 moving. - Republicans are actively advancing policies designed to weaken Black political power. - Roland Martin condemns silence from Black leaders who refuse to confront these attacks. - Inaction is framed as participation — not neutrality — in the rollback of civil rights. - The moment demands accountability, not respectability politics or quiet accommodation.

Tokens aren’t admired for their loyalty they’re used for cover. When they are no longer of value to their agenda they will be discarded just as a spent token.
