Summary
5.3.2023 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: ATL Mass Shooting; Tucker Carlson’s racist texts; Andrew Young talks Harry Belafonte
There have been 180 mass shootings this year so far. We are in the middle of one of the deadliest years as Republican lawmakers fight to make access to guns easier. We will speak with the National African American Gun Association President about what policy can be passed to combat mass shootings in America.
Tucker Carlson is back in the headlines this time as newly revealed text messages are unredacted, showing Carlson's blatantly racist and appealing text that was even too extreme for Fox News. We will show you the text messages that got Carlson kicked out of Fox News.
South Carolina is embroiled in a battle to hold people accountable for hate crimes as one of the only states in the nation that don't have hate crime laws on the books. For the past three years, a hate crimes bill has made it through the South Carolina House and to the Senate floor, only to stop there. We will be speaking about what Democrats are doing to try to get the Clementa C. Pinckney Hate Crimes Act passed.
In our continuing coverage of honoring the life and legacy of Harry Belafonte, we have Atlanta Ambassador Andrew Young joining us to discuss how he remembers the late icon.
In our tech talk segment, we will speak with the founder of a sustainable tech company, pivot plastics which is looking to improve the environment as environmental challenges are impacting black Americans at a staggering rate by being a conduit between companies that generate recyclable plastic waste and companies that can process that material into new products.
