A Tennessee Holler reporter asked House Speaker Cameron Sexton about the the optics of the GOP's TSU board takeover were bad. Sexton tried to turn the tables on the reporter and said Democrats were involved in the process behind closed doors
During Thursday's House floor debate, Representative Antonio Perkins questioned why TSU was the only institution that faced five audits in one year.

Amen
My thought 🇺🇸👍
THIS GOES AGAINST THE UKRAINE AND ISRAEL NARRATIVE, AFRICANS IN AMERICA ARE EXPECTED TO SUFFER IN SILENCE NOWADAYS , NOT TO SHAME THE ROTTEN DISGUSTING UNDER BELLY OF AMERICAS FAKE FREEDOM AND EQUAL RIGHTS 🕷🤦🏾
Yes they are. That’s how I found out. Duh
@@jaisonlives yeah, you have a reading comprehension issue. Duhh
Stop sending your children athletes to their schools and watch how fast they stop the bs.
I live in Tennessee and unless these black folks stop playing nice this type of stuff has and will continue
☝❤✍
Black people around the country are assaulting and killing white women for being white.
The Deep State is republican, this needs to be exposed, when Trump calls the dems the deep state he's lieing the deep state, the Supreme Court , the Heritage Foundation, why was trump voting accusations not done to republican cities like Boise, Id., like Nashville, Tenn., like Rome,Ga, like Oklahoma City,Ok.
You are correct Roland sue them
Also I said this before, If black athletes boycott in these major colleges and they start losing money, they will make changes!!
No, sports isn't very important.
Hell it can happen in pro sports too. But folks like money too much. It will never happen.
@@littledickydolittle3071That’s silly. You must be joking. Follow the money if you are not.
That is how they keep passing these things because they don’t believe it will stop black athletes from attending
Get over your skin color already
Tenn is trying to close the University!! That is the ultimate goal! No money no university!
Good!
No, they don’t need to close. They need to receive the half billion dollar allotment that’s due them or the uni needs to sue and ask for punitive damages retroactively.
B@littledickydolittle3071 why do you think that is good?
That comment above by “littledickydolittles” is just like those of the lawmakers who are trying to harm HBCU’s. They are so insecure about themselves, that they feel threatened by education, especially of people they wish to oppress.
you may be correct however, I've never seen the university or is infrastructure if it's closed, you can sell off the buildings and redeveloped the area however, a better option would be to incorporated into its university system. It's odd That they never want to see an African-American educated in mass, and with the only school closed that accepted African-Americans, the only organization, HBCU that graduated the majority of black professionals in America that has an implication toward national security rate and readiness it's true I remember when Obama was in office they stated the tea party members and some Republicans quotation marks if we have to wreck this nation, we will do so to make him unsuccessful in his presidential term. They are following through with the defunding which I've been going on for years actually 30 years plus to read nation of HBCU
This should not be legal
This disgraceful they want that money to put into the PWI in Tennessee
The HBCU's need to band and work together to stop these idiots.
Can a class action lawsuit be brought?
@@oyn5868 All of this was of no concern until TSU asked for the 2 billion it was owed by the federal government.🤔
Voters gotta flex by voting these jokers out! 🤷🏿
2024 Maryland Has a Black Governor, YEA!
Tears, tears, tears-it's 2024😢
NAACP legal defense fund? They obviously have the resources to file these lawsuits.
Have they filed any and, if not, have they stated why they haven’t?
The NAACP urban league all have corporate white sponsors I believe they've been bought out. Their mission has changed their building, museums in corporate campuses, and if I gotten their original mandate and forgotten the genesis for which they were created, they haven't said anything about the number of migrants entering the nation under Biden's admin the administration first said they were 2 million then three then six and seven recently 9.3 while watching a Dr. Phil episode at the border he reported upwards of 13,000,000+ the getaways who knows how many in actuality. However, living in Chicago , in the southern suburb area, we can see on a daily basis how many entered it may be no Man knows but just this weekend I saw a migrant a Venezuelan flag in a 30 year old plus Pontiac. He's driving down a main artery waving his flags I see them at the grocery stores with barrels of food well, not a barrel but cart full to the brim. I see them driving around in old cars and new cars. If you walk from Venezuela to Texas, you should have lost some weight when you look at the migrants on television I have yet to find any one that is emaciated , I'll look well fed and well clothes to meet. It appears that they created the crisis on their own will I don't understand why they can't protest their own nations take their nations from the thugs the one centers the gangsters.

Dr Greg Carr has said he's going to let people know the NAACP and Urban League are not fighting for Tennessee State!
This is a shame 😢
✍☝❤
BOYCOTT TENNESSEE!!! SUE!!!
Black Students, especially student athletes at the University of Tennessee, please stand with students of TSU!!!
again… South Carolina State University had the same situation happen… a SC senator called for SCSU to be closed… we protested… and they softened the call to close and opted to dismiss the entire BOT… Governor Nikki Haley appointed all the Board members… some alumni, some community Businesspeople…
They conducted a forensic audit, had to admit nothing nefarious was happening at State… just underfunded… and we won our full accreditation… and what did they give us as a reward? A Republican School President… who wreaked havoc for a decade…
I know TSU Alumni are happy that the 8 members are alum… but still…. vet, vet, vet… all skinfolk ain't kinfolk… they may love the University equally… but love and a path forward could be two. different things… especially when you don’t know what deals were made
Facts
Deion said this was going to happen. They not looking out for the kids, just their own pockets.
Who is "THEY"?
Who is they...the state is robbing this university
And it continues. Thank you for your coverage and dialog around this.
We are the only people scared to take it smh
That were too much money in any one's hands 👐 not trustworthy😢sickening
How can talking make this people do right by us 🤔
Exactly 💯 💯 💯
It can’t and won’t
He said it!! Power!! We get the power we get the money🤷🏽♂️ 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
many thanks, I'm hoping that black Tennesseeans are listening, cause this is not normal
I agree regarding these republican majority’s abusing the HBCUs in their states. How to come together and fight it? I’m down. KySU-Kentucky State Thorobred
Wait a minute I thought they were arguing about how Trump had given all this money into hbcu what's going on now
We didn't get shit but pennies from Trump. All that was publicity stunt based on an old bill that was stuck in limbo in the house since the Bush Administration.
This is a good thing, now TSU will receive money with accountability to all future students.
They didn’t give TSU their land grant funds and they were struggling to find dorms for the students.
They should do what trump does… sue
TRUMP IS THE PROBLEM !!!! ALONG WITH BIDEN !!!, THIS IS THE BYPRODUCT OF MALACE TO NONE BY LINCOLN, THE CONFEDERACY IS STILL VENGEFUL AND WILL NEVER STOP TAKING A POUND A FLESHA DAY FROM OUR COMMUNITY. !! , THIS IS ACTUALLY A CONTINUATION OF THE CIVIL WAR AND THE BURDEN ALWAYS FALLS ON THE AFRICAN COMMUNITY IN AMERICA🕷
Been suing for many years, but met with constant appeals by the legislative body of the state in an effort to avoid paying the university the 540 million owed.
Yall really think a racist state will give a black school all there money 😂
Our wealthy black people need to put their money towards us
Oprah is a TSU alum & I've not seen one comment from her on this matter!!!
Roland Thank You Sharing Real News Cause I Don’t See Any Major Net Works Talking About Brother You Are Ed Bradly And Walter Cronkite 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
We need to go to the United Nations!
If dump gets elected ive been telling people that Jim Crow will be back
HBCU students it time to support your black representatives and ask how can you support them , run for office yourself or something to give back to your education that have given your so much…. School officials have been fighting this fight for sometime now… they need HELP
No Taxation
without Representation!
Blacks pay less than 1% of the income taxes in this country. They are getting more than their 1% worth of representation.
That Part!
Lee is not going to piss off the legislature because he needs those votes to approve his vouchers which is destroying the public education systems here in TN.
That is not a picture of Charles Traughbar. Please update
You know what's next....it takes one state to show the roadmap to the others.
They are brainwashed into the White Southern heritage.
He who laughs last?! Laughs louder?! Hahahahahaha!?
sell out.
All you got to do is watch Roots the next Generation about blacks voting and the poll tax issue
❤☝
Could it be that the police are made to make a certain amount of traffic stop per shift ? Could it be that there are not many people driving poorly so they stop people under false pretences? Could it be that there are not enough crimes going on but they have to show that they are making contact with people who really don't want to be contacted by them? Could it be that the cops are made to lie about everything they do on their shifts? . Now can you imagine being made to lie every day or you might not get your raise or even worse fired . One thing the cops know for sure, is that they can lie about black peoples every day and their lies will prevail. But when they lie about white peoples they better have clear lies that the judge can buy . How long can you live with a lie ? Me , two seconds, you ? That's the difference between me and being a slavecatcher .
So can they also perform an audit of the agency that did not fund the college appropriately. It looks to me like the money would show up somewhere or was sent somewhere.
If the Biden administration want to fire up the black vote, help shine light on this issue. Where is VP Harris, she is an HBCU alumni?
This is my alma mater. Class of '84 .
What can we do about it?
Who really owns the NAACP? THIS IS THE TIME FOR THEM TO BE LEADING FIGHT AGAINST THIS HUGE SHIFT THAT IS HAPPENED IN THIS COUNTRY. NAACP should have been the black community eyes and ears for years to help prevent these troubling tactics that happenings to the black community today. I bet you will hear from them once their funds are cut. I suggesting that all black leaders, organizations, and committees come together. What is happening is so real.
What do they do with the funding put it into their pocket
I live here and now know why my grandmother migrated north...i now know why...these black folks down here playing nice with these white folks who give them the bare minimum crumbs
I’m curious if this is even covered by Tennessee mainstream media
THEY CAN'T BE THE SUPERHERO!!!!!!
💯 % sure now. After this Martin broadcast. That TSU funding is on the way...
Where Oprah Winfrey, a Tenn State Alum?
Worrying about getting donations for Hawaii
Where is the STATE of TENNESSEE doing their due diligence towards this HBCU UNIVERSITY LIKE THEY DUE AT PWI UNIVERSITY'S OVER 2 BILLION ANOTHER ROBBERY IN THE DEEP SOUTH AND IT LOOKS AND SOUND EVEN DISGUSTING WITH A SMURKEY FACE CLAIMING NO RACISM IN AMERICA LMAO WITH THEIR CHRISTIANITY UP BRINGING. KARMA WILL HAVE RECEIPTS FOR MANY VILE TROLLS.
And what are you gonna do about it?
History has shown that nothing but complaining has been done and will be done
FORT VALLEY!!!!!
Remember that if you didn't vote for biden then you're not black 😂
✍⬆️
Roland, are you aware that the President of Alabama A&M University, Dr. Wims and the board of trustees forgave the State of Alabama and Gov. Kay Ivey (Mee Maw) of $527,280, 064 owed to the University
22:52 Give us something to vote for and we'll happily vote. Until then, we're done with the hampster wheel.
That doesn’t make sense, black folk not voting is what got us to this point, a super republican majority in the state legislature and Davidson county being gerrymandered! Motivated yourself if not for yourself then vote for your kids future!!
@@Staywoke7909 we have to leave some behind. Help register new voters🤷🏿♀️
@@Staywoke7909 It doesn't make sense to you bc you have resigned yourself to the ever infinite hamster wheel of voting for nothing.
@@Tbabymama Yes, and we have to stay behind to in protest while the pawns run to the polls like theyve done for the past 60 years to continue to vote for experts ast benign neglect. Enjoy. Oh and tell Biden and his segregationist mentors we said hello.
@@mrbrainchild7637 You’re definitely not rocket science or even near a person that has a brain but I’ll play your little dumb game of not voting versus voting, Trump’s he love poorly educated🤯 I will be voting and making my voice heard with facts!

Button!
I can tell no one here actually did any research into this. Why is it that BA have a hard time holding other BA to higher standards. The school has mismanaged funds and audits prove this.
Please provide us with the auditing document that supports your statement. We don't mind reading it.
@@JW-ux4ey You can simply research it for yourself why they are doing this instead of listening to Roland Martin and taking what he says as fact. Why is it that no other HBCU is going through this?
@@alexharper7645 all HBCU were going through monetary freeze and scrutiny. That's nothing new. Now, your point makes no sense, as isn't that the only HBCU in that very state? It always begins somewhere and spread to other places.
@@JW-ux4eyThere’s literally not a single piece of evidence this will spread to other HBCUs that’s just your feelings. Also what does this have to do with the fact that they can’t reconcile their bank statements and aren’t keeping proper records when it comes to their scholarships? When they have been warned before about it? Roland Martin is a race baiting pos and makes something that has nothing to do with race about race.
Did you do your research i live here and they didn't mismanage anything
Gotta stop complaining. Other groups punish their people for not donating.
Gotta stop asking YT people for money. Is there not enough rich blk people and alumni that can solve this?
This isn't about scholarship money or Alumni funding. This is about money that's owed to us by federal law that states like Mississippi and Tennessee or even Florida have failed to pay over the years.
13:04 imagine the level of narcissism to make such a statement.
🤔🤨 What? Not narcissistic
@@queenkny look up the definition before you say it’s not.
@@scottdelacerda2179 I'm pretty sure we all know what narcissistic means. You haven't explained your claim of it being narcissistic statement.
@@derrickj45 thank you
@@derrickj45 I will help you out. She stated that we are always excellent no matter what. That is arrogant, self centred, and a lack of consideration for any other race that has graduated from TSU. Is it textbook definition, no, but it’s pretty close.
Where Oprah at lol this her school
Why is everything on Oprah's shoulders?
I believe if we get behind the young one in the United states in every State and every community and get them to believe that they voted is for them and not just to go vote for the Democrats or The Republican but for them. My brothers most of the young one don't believe they voted madders put some money into their beliefs thank you and happy Easter
How have they gotten away with this crap for so long?
Where was Obama on getting this resolved during his terms?
Systematic racism.
Where are the alumni of Tennessee state??? This was not Obama's issue as prez.
@divingchicago the alum should definitely step up. A black prez staff should've uncovered this bs for all HBCU's and threatened the states to lose federal money if they didn't pay the schools.
What does this have to do with former President Obama? This has absolutely nothing to do with the President.
Who has the power to correct in state issues before labeling outside individuals like your self the answer is their state legislation and this is what you see during this commentary of complaints which is correct sue the hell out of them its across the board in various problematic issues.These southern states have been working diligently together trying to destroy these HBCU UNIVERSITIES they want to eliminate their power structure of leadership sending our kids to their colleges to slow down and control them under their double standards of educations they can't stand seeing strength or grit in blacks demeanor protecting family self or property keep your heads up with GOD'S GRACE.
What power did Obama have when the republicans blocked everything. It was under Obama they started the games of reducing or freezing funding.
TSU alumna here. There are actual alumni who think this is a good thing.
From my understanding they removed the board that was mismanaging money within schlorships, housing, etc. And replaced it with a new board with all black people. So is it bad? The only thing I see bad is that the State has not be transpartent on giving money.
Why is it a good thing to lose the only HBCU in the state?
My sister and brother in law are alumni...they and most of their fellow alums don't agree.
Why?
oh think it is ok to take over the black schools
I am with you Roland, sue them, it sounds like they have plenty of time to do all those audits and get their money. Waiting for these people to do the right thing will never work out, they are trying to hold these students back.
Jayden Perkins, say his name Roland!
You sound stupid as if Roland had something to do with it.
18:09 this happens with both parties, Roland is just trying to frame it as only one side does it.
Do you mean when the money was frozen to HBSU because of the republican games, so they could blame dems? Oh yeah...
Dismantled for good reason but..to roland...it's allllll based on skin color 😂
HBCU's give us Leticia James and Fanni Willis', terrible at what they do but there because of DEI
Oh Karen. Because of AFFIRMATIVE ACTION. THE REPREHENSIBLE REPUBLICANS RACIST PARTY CANDIDATE HAS NO QUALIFICATION AND IS WHITE
@LsvgsBaibee Except Trump gave us the best economy in the history of the country. Plus he closed the borders. Plus he did a bunch of prison reforms (a mistake).
Biden gives us the worst economy, and open borders.
They beed to close the whole school down. They're not learning nothing anyway
Well for sure they didn't learn racism y'all did and it's proven every day but karma coming in all types of ways. And I for one ain't mad. Cancer,car crashes,plane crashes, suicide. Yes God wrath is excellent 💯 he's in control y'all isn't. So is blacks just sit back and watch our father work things out👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
hey horsefly, shallnot fear, how do you know who learns, do you read, about the sucess stories from HBCU's, you drink too much out of the toilet!!!
Get a clue...your college is not wanted here. Move it to Chicago or DC or another liberal paradise.
Dummy!!!!
Never has a profile name so accurately described a troll like yours does.
Racist always hiding😂
@@craftingretired Because of blacks violent history, yeah
St Augustine University?
