Description

9.5.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Tarrant Jail Deaths Outrage, Black Jobless Rate Rises, Tabitha Brown Sparks Debate, RMU 7th Anniv. More than 70 people have died while in custody in the Tarrant County, Texas, Jail since 2017. These unanswered deaths are sparking outrage, and the Sheriff is refusing to appear before the commission to explain what's going on. His reason...Commissioner Alisa Simmons' "hostile" behavior. She's here to explain why she's going so hard demanding accountability and transparency. August's job report signals a significant slowdown in employment growth. Morgan Harper will discuss the uptick in the black unemployment rate. Tabitha Brown has ruffled some feathers by telling some want to be entrepreneurs they need to get a job. One of the Greensboro Four has died. We'll pay tribute to Major General Joseph McNeil. And we're still celebrating our 7th anniversary, sharing some of the best moments and conversations right here on Roland Martin Unfiltered. #BlackStarNetwork partner: Fanbase https://www.startengine.com/offering/fanbase This Reg A+ offering is made available through StartEngine Primary, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC.  This investment is speculative, illiquid, and involves a high degree of risk, including the possible loss of your entire investment.

Roland, I agree with you. What Tabitha said is true. Momma always told me "you have to crawl before you walk".

Tabitha is so right. I worked on a job which allowed me to buy the equipment I needed and when it was time I quit my job and worked my business full time.

My confidence is damaged by every law enforcement incident. Why are these transgressions continuously so lengthy and lacking consequences?

Initiative Ballots that cap CEO’s Salaries to $450k per year…….who currently make $2Mill to upwards amounts and over $14Mill. Do things like this like our SEIU-Uhw President, Dave Regan, is gearing our Union to do. This Administration are legally stealing Trillions from the middle class on down. We are definitely in a fight for our Country to keep the masses to be able to live decently w/ decent paying jobs, healthcare and housing. The BASICS!
