Roland Martin warns Republican-led redistricting efforts in Tennessee and Alabama are a direct attack on Black political power and voting rights across the South. Roland Martin, Alabama lawmakers, and panelists blasted Republican-led redistricting efforts in Tennessee and Alabama as a coordinated attack on Black political power. The discussion focused on GOP efforts to redraw congressional districts, dilute Black voting strength, and preserve white conservative political control despite demographic shifts across the South. Speakers repeatedly framed the fight as a generational battle over democracy, representation, and voting rights, warning that Republicans are attempting to weaken Black political influence for decades. The segment also called for mass Black voter mobilization and broader organizing efforts to counter the attacks at the ballot box. 🔥 Tennessee Republicans approved maps splitting Memphis into multiple congressional districts 🔥 Alabama Republicans pushed new maps targeting Black congressional representation 🔥 Roland Martin called the effort “Confederacy 2.0” 🔥 Lawmakers and activists accused Republicans of attacking Black political power across the South 🔥 “This is a declaration of war.” 🔥 “They want to destroy black political power for the next one to two generations.” 🔥 “It is an attack against black voting power in the state of Alabama.” 🔥 “There’s white supremacy and its enemies.” #RolandMartinUnfiltered #BlackStarNetwork #VotingRights #BlackVoters #TennesseePolitics #AlabamaPolitics #Redistricting We’ve launched our official Telegram channel.

Every high level black collegiate athlete in Tennessee and Alabama should put in an immediate transfer request. That’s where we hold leverage in these Deep South racist states.

The sad part is that the south has been promoting, even singing "the south is going to rise again", for DECADES and WE ignored it, made no provisions. So now in the 11th hour, we have a sense of urgency.
