12.8.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Crockett Shakes Up TX Senate Race, Cost-of-Living Pain Spikes, Supreme Court Boost for Trump

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is jumping into the Texas Senate race and filing right up against the deadline. 

The affordability crisis is squeezing everybody, impacting housing, food, child care, health care, and energy. 

Pennsylvania just became the 28th state to pass the CROWN Act, banning discrimination based on hair texture and race-based hairstyles in work and schools. Talk radio host Kathy Barnette says legislation to protect hair is "stupid." She'll be here to explain her position. 

The Supreme Court heard a significant case on presidential power today, with the conservative majority looking ready to hand the "convict in chief" a major win. 

A Black pastor blasts those who voted for Trump, calling out some of his congregants.

The man who kneeled on George Floyd's neck wants a new trial. And Louisiana cops are caught on video violently dragging a wheelchair-bound man to the ground.

12.10.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Southern Hazing Death Indictments, Dems Flip GOP Seats, Shontel Brown vs Trump, Crockett for Senate

Five men get indicted in the alleged hazing death of Southern University student Caleb Wilson.

Democrats keep flipping seats Republicans thought were safe. With Trump's approval sinking and Democratic turnout surging, more than one in five GOP-held seats on the ballot this year have turned blue.

Trump's attacks on Black people go far beyond the rhetoric, and Ohio Congresswoman Shontel Brown is calling it out. 

In Tonight's Tech Talk, a recent college grad who built an app that helps locate survivors and assess damage in the first 72 hours after a natural disaster.

And Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is shaking up the U.S. Senate primary. She'll be here to talk about her campaign.

12.9.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: DOJ Weakens Bias Rules, Abbott Pushes TPUSA, CROWN Act Clash, Southwest Gets a Free Pass

The Justice Department is rolling back a 50-year-old "disparate impact" standard.  I'll talk to the Legal Defense Fund's Associate Director-Counsel about how this move will make it harder to challenge potential bias in housing, criminal law, employment, environmental regulations, and other policy areas.

Texas Governor  Abbott plans to expand Turning Point USA youth chapters to every high school across the state. His explanation is comical.

White racists say not being able to communicate with folks who speak other languages is the downfall of Western civilization.  Ya'll, I can't make this shit up.

A white woman really f'ed around and found out after a black woman told her to back up.  Her white ass got served a 1-2 combo.

Pennsylvania is now the 28th state to pass the CROWN Act, banning discrimination based on hair texture and race-based hairstyles in work and schools. Talk radio host Kathy Barnette says legislation to protect hair is "stupid." She'll be here to explain her position. 

Southwest failed during the 2022 winter storm, stranding thousands of travelers and racking up a $140 million penalty. Trump's Transportation  Department just waived the last $11 million. Pennsylvania State Senator and DNC Vice Chair Malcolm Kenyatta will explain why the airline is getting a break while passengers are still paying the price.

And in Tonight's Black Star Network Marketplace, a mother–daughter duo turned self-love into a business. 

We'll talk to the 13-year-old CEO of Beautiful Curly Me, whose designs help our kids love their curls and their Blackness.

12.05.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: 70th Anniv. of Montgomery Bus Boycott | "Where Do We Go From Here?"

Live from Holt Street Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama, commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. 

Lasting 381 days, the boycott caused the city lines to lose between 30,000 and 40,000 in daily bus fares.  

Tonight, we remember those who walked so we could have equal rights.  Rights that are now under siege.

"Where Do We Go From Here?"  That's the theme of tonight's event at Holt Street. You don't want to miss it!

A dynamic gathering moderated by Roland Martin, this roundtable convenes national leaders to explore the path forward for movement-building in America. Rooted in the sanctuary where the Bus Boycott began, the convening symbolizes both a homecoming and a renewed call to action.
