1.28.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: FBI Probes Georgia Election Office. GOP Cuts HBCU Voting. Judge Blocks Va. Map. AOC Takes on CVS. The FBI has searched a Georgia election office for evidence to support former President Trump's false claims that his 2020 election defeat was due to widespread voting fraud. In North Carolina, Republicans have reduced the number of voting sites at the nation's largest historically Black college and university, prompting students to file a lawsuit. In Virginia, a judge has blocked lawmakers' pro-Democratic voting map. We'll also bring you the results of a new poll revealing what issues matter most to Virginians. It seems that local and state police agencies are on a collision course with ICE agents. The President of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives will explain the complexities of this power struggle. New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has called out CVS Health's corporate strategy to monopolize patient care. And a white city councilman in Florida is facing backlash for how he addressed white supremacy. Many people focused on his choice of words in the example and overlooked his core message, prompting calls for his resignation. Download the Black Star Network app at http://www.blackstarnetwork.com!

Thanks Codi for your balanced comments on the last segment. While we certainly do not like white folks using the N-word, context is important. Initially, I was shocked and angered by the white man’s use of the N-word, but as I further listened to him I understand. He was conveying the rawness of the hate and bigotry that he and young whites are taught. Sometimes we have to see the rawness and brutality in order to wake up. He is a white man calling out white supremacy. We need to focus on the message he conveyed. As Codi said, it’s important to have white allies who are bold and willing to call out white supremacy. We can pull him aside later and discuss his use of the N-word. No need to give the impression that he has license to use it willy nilly. Jolanda’s personal story in the conversation is also important and needed in order to get folks to wake up!

I agree, I don't use the word either. I teach young people the origin and purpose for the word does not change just because we use it, but as Cody and Rep. Jones said, but in certain situations sometimes direct harsh language will make people pay attention.
