Summary
5.12.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered:SCOTUS Clears Ala. Black District Cut. Racist ‘Cotton-Picking’ Attack on Jeffries. Trump Competency Questions Grow
The Supreme Court's conservative majority has cleared the way for Alabama to revert to a congressional map that includes only one majority-Black district, eliminating Congressman Shomari Figures' seat. I'll speak with him about his commitment to fight for his position.
In South Carolina, lawmakers are considering a proposed congressional map that would remove a Democratic-leaning seat currently held by Representative Jim Clyburn.
Virginia Representative Jen Kiggans, a white Republican, is facing backlash for agreeing with a conservative radio host who urged Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries to get his "cotton-picking hands off Virginia."
We will also examine the historical reasons the Black unemployment rate has consistently been higher than the overall unemployment rate, even during periods of economic strength.
The competency of Donald Trump, the twice-impeached and criminally convicted former president, is being questioned once more. He recently called a Black reporter an offensive name and fell asleep during an Oval Office event.
In tonight's Shop Black Star Network segment, we will feature a kids' skincare line that offers natural, safe products for melanin-rich skin.
