4.20.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Shreveport Mass Shooting Kills 8 Children. Domestic Violence Crisis. Trump HBCU Claims Exposed A shocking incident occurred early Sunday in Shreveport, Louisiana, where a man killed eight children--seven of his own kids and one of their cousins--in a mass shooting. This tragic event has sparked a conversation about the shooter's mental health, based on claims made by his family. We will explore the difference between mental health and mental illness, particularly in relation to unspeakable crimes. This week, we are addressing the epidemic of fatal domestic violence by focusing on the underlying issues that lead to such tragedies. Tonight, we will examine how parental suicides affect their children. We'll speak with Texas Representative Jolanda Jones about how her father's suicide impacted her life, and we will have a psychologist explain how individuals can overcome such trauma. Despite Donald Trump's false claim that he "saved HBCUs," he is actually overseeing the largest economic attack on historically Black colleges and universities in U.S. history. Journalist Michael Harriot will shed light on this issue. And Congressman Bobby Scott will join us to discuss why Virginians should vote yes on Tuesday's redistricting referendum.

Not normal for someone to kill 8 of his children. Something was deeply wrong! Period….It’s mental illness, hatred of women, hatred of self, detachment from his kids to hunt them down when they were running for their lives. Sick, sick, sick!!!!!!

Black women have never been safe! Malcolm -X reminded the Black community of that in 1962. He declared "the most disrespected, unprotected, neglected, exploited, and unappreciated person in America is the Black woman". And who is it that's doing all the exploitation and disrespect?

I have suffered from PTSD due to sexual trauma since I was 6. I was assaulted at 6 and 12 by two different black men. When I went into the military I was assaulted again by a black man in the barracks laundry room. Black men were either calling me ugly or sexually assaulting me my entire life. I have NEVER killed a black man, EVER. I will not be accepting this bs excuse about why they kill us.
