Description

We sounded the alarm. Now it’s happening in real time—and the consequences are unfolding exactly as warned. Roland Martin lays out a clear and urgent warning: the systematic dismantling of Black political, economic, and social infrastructure is not hypothetical—it is happening now. From voting rights to funding pipelines, the strategy mirrors historical rollbacks that once erased Black political power after Reconstruction. This moment is about recognizing the pattern, understanding the intent, and confronting the consequences before the damage becomes irreversible. 🔥 “We told y’all… everything we told you happened” 🔥 This is the defunding of Black America happening right now 🔥 Voting rights, districts, and policies are being systematically dismantled 🔥 Historical parallels show how Black power has been erased before 🔥 Funding cuts weaken organizations embedded in Black communities 🔥 Lower voter turnout opens the door for long-term consequences 🔥 “You cannot say you weren’t warned” #RolandMartinUnfiltered #BlackStarNetwork #WeTriedToTellYa We’ve launched our official Telegram channel.

I still say that they rigged the election in 2024. I am not convinced that people sat out the 2024 election in the thousands or millions. That should have been investigated. I strongly believe that they showed up but their votes were not counted or their votes were contested, like in GA. Also, I believe that Trump and his machine (cronies) have been rigging and fixing elections since his first term by not counting votes in certain districts. The Supreme Court just made it legal today. There will definitely be rigging come the midterms. Not only do Black voters must vote Democrat, we're going to need some Republicans to vote cross party lines in November.

Roland you are so right. I printed and read the 2025 agenda when it first came out. This has always been the plan. If people had read the docunent, they would have known what was coming next !!!!!!!!!! Roland you tried to tell them !!!!!!!!!!! The Shellby case is on line you can read. Fear is a powerful emotion that causes people to commit crimes against humanity. For years white people in this country have been afraid of there own extinction to the point theywill do anything to destroy the rights of black America and other people of color. Some white people have always believed this country was given to them by God to be a white christian nation only. Black people need to wake up and pay attention because they haven't seen nothing yet. It is going to get worse. Be prepared and get prepared !!!!!!!!! Thanks Roland !!!!!!

Roland, black people need to unite and come together like it was done in the 50s and 60s. At this moment in time it seems that blacks hate each other and can’t stick together for anything.
