5.5.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: SCOTUS VRA Ruling. Landry Recall Push. Fox Wants Michelle Obama to Defend Melania. GOP War on Black America The Supreme Court has issued an emergency order allowing Republicans in Louisiana to redraw the state's congressional map. Justice Correspondent Elie Mystal will explain what this means. Additionally, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry is facing a recall petition after he suspended the state's U.S. House primary election, which has already seen over 40,000 absentee ballots submitted. I will be speaking with the executive director of Win With Black Men about tonight's urgent call regarding voting rights. In Tennessee, lawmakers are in a special session to redraw congressional districts, effectively violating the law. Florida Democrats have filed a lawsuit against the congressional map that Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law. Bishop William Barber will join us to discuss the GOP's war on Black Americans and its impact on the working poor. In tonight's Black Star Network Marketplace, we will feature a revolutionary product for women's period care. Download the Black Star Network app at http://www.blackstarnetwork.com!

We have to build alliance as well by tying in the overall threat to representation and erosion constitutional protections for everyone. We need to educate people about ballot questions in their state as well. Tie in the threats they are to our democracy as well.

Uncle Ro-Ro you probably should have had Randy do this market place segment.

Roland your right. I emailed the “Win With Black Men” last year and asked why I had not got any communication. Now they are popping up but they should have kept the momentum going after the 2024 Election.

Most often than not, voting is more defense than offense. Too often we're concerned about what we don't have instead of defending what we have now. We can not go on the offensive and move forward while leaving progress unguarded and undefended.
