1.15.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Crockett Senate Poll Questioned. Black Woman Fights Disenfranchisement. Assault on Black History. A recent Emerson College poll in the Texas Senate primary is raising questions, with critics challenging its results. More on that ahead. Tennessee activist Pamela Moses is challenging the state's permanent disenfranchisement laws after she was charged and convicted of voter fraud. Moses eventually had the charges dropped. She and her attorney will be here to talk about the upcoming case. Another example of Black history being erased -- Frederick Douglass excluded from a U.S coin series honoring America's most celebrated leaders. Texas A&M University canceled a graduate Ethics course after a Black professor refused to comply with a discriminatory ban on certain subjects. We'll hear from him later. #BlackStarNetwork partner: Fanbase https://www.startengine.com/offering/fanbase This Reg A+ offering is made available through StartEngine Primary, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC.

Dr. Bright helped me to see plain and clear just how much his university is trying to censor higher education and stop the teaching of RACE!

These people don't want us here, and that's obvious. Republicans in Congress don't want us here, and that's obvious. He's obviously not going to allow midterm elections to take place. Everyone is saying it, and everyone knows it. So my question is, as black so-called Americans, where do we go from here? What's our next move as a community? Things aren't going to get any better for us from here. They'll make sure of that. So what's our community's next move? Someone should seriously address that.

If a convicted felon (of multiple felony charges) can hold the highest office in government, then a former felon should have a voice in voting. There shouldn’t be a double standard in that instance

I am from the UK and I agree with Roland, I don't know about Texas, I like JC because she is a fighter and fighters are what America needs at the moment, JT is a safe bet he is a white man and surprise surprise America wants the white man. JC is not just fighting because she wants to win she is fighting because of our ancestors and all that they went through, to be honest she can just be a lawyers, yet she choose to fight for ungrateful Americans(SHE SHOULD LEAVE THEM TO ROT IN THEIR OWN STUPIDITY). I love her, I want her to win, I know she can win and people are voting for the right reasons.
