Description

The NAACP is escalating pressure with a sports boycott campaign targeting states accused of attacking Black voting rights and weakening Black political power. Roland Martin and the panel discussed the NAACP’s new sports boycott campaign targeting states accused of undermining Black voting rights and Black political representation. The conversation centered on coordinated political backlash following Black electoral gains, with panelists arguing that rules and political structures keep changing whenever Black communities gain power. The panel warned that attacks on voting rights are being disguised as neutral policy while systematically weakening Black political influence. The discussion also framed the boycott as an economic and cultural response designed to pressure institutions benefiting from Black dollars while remaining silent about voter suppression. 🔥 The NAACP launched a new sports boycott campaign over attacks on Black voting rights and representation. 🔥 Roland Martin and the panel warned that political rules keep changing whenever Black communities gain power. 🔥 The discussion focused on voter suppression, redistricting fights, and backlash against growing Black political influence. 🔥 Panelists argued that attacks on Black voting strength are being disguised as policy and legal restructuring. 🔥 The segment also highlighted the economic power of Black consumers and pressure campaigns tied to sports. 🔥 “They want Black votes but not Black power.” 🔥 “The rules only change when Black people win.” #RolandMartinUnfiltered #BlackStarNetwork #NAACP #VotingRights #SportsBoycott #BlackVoters #CivilRights #Politics We’ve launched our official Telegram channel.

Just one more thing. One thing we can do is not watch SEC or attend these games. Even your guest said he watches a lot of sports.

It's amazing how the NAACP are asking these young folks to make a better decision when we as a people continued to watch games at homes, in bars with friends while Colin Kaepernick was taking a knee. Look at what he gave up while it was admired. We didn't boycott by not watching games. How will we stand by young athlete that chooses to do this.

It's not about making it to the NFL, old folks, it's about OPPORTUNITY.
