5.30.2023 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Debt ceiling agreement fallout; Texas passes Crown Act; Juneteenth inclusion drama
The recent debt ceiling deal agreement will change access to social programs and start student loan repayments sooner than expected. We'll examine how this agreement will impact black and brown Americans at higher rates and what lawmakers are doing to address these concerns.
The Debt Ceiling agreement is causing a stir among Democrats and Republicans. With GOP members not happy about the debt ceiling agreement. We'll show you what some GOP hard-liners criticizing the bill said ahead of Tuesday afternoon's House Rules Committee vote.
Over the weekend, the 11-year-old boy shot by police in Mississippi spoke out for the first time about his ordeal and how he felt after getting shot. We will show you what he had to say. And an update on Ralph Yarl, who was shot by a racist white man for an address mix-up.
A viral video of a white woman harassing two black men over a parking mistake has made the rounds on social media. We'll have more on this story and how incidents like this contribute to racial tensions in our communities.
And in our marketplace segment, we'll speak with Cocoa Asante, a company founded in 2018 by Ella Livingston, a Ghanaian-American who made it her mission to provide chocolate of the best quality using cacao from her home country Ghana.
