Roland Martin Unfiltered is LIVE from Kansas City, Missouri, at the Robert J. Mohart Center
Tonight, we have a town hall sponsored by The Urban League of Greater Kansas City. And we are talking about Racism in the Kansas City Police Department: Addressing the Black and Blue Divide.
We have folks from this community here to talk about the discrimination issues within the Kansas City Police Department. Just yesterday, two black female officers filed a lawsuit against the Kansas City Board of Police Commissioners for discrimination against their race and gender.
We'll also discuss why there is a push for a Department of Justice Investigation and a need for local control.
We aren't here just to talk about the problems. We want to find the solutions for reimagining public safety and building community trust.
We have a lot to unpack and discuss tonight, live from Robert J. Mohart Center here in Kansas City, Missouri.

Young man who is very, educated, intelligent, knowledgeable... and whom I have much respect!!!
I agree 💯
Nah go listen to a REAL authority l, Jason Black's the Black channel and the Business
"We aren't here just to talk about the problems. We want to find the solutions" -- Amen! 🥊
Yeah because the talking alone just ain't cutting it. Neither is the street marching/ protesting alone.
@@dglorious1269
I agree, certainly marching/protesting alone isn't the solution. However, we must be careful not to aid in these folkkk’s agenda, to demonize/stain a prominent tool proven to aid in changes.
If this wasn't so, why would those same folkkk, covertly impose legislation to neutralize, if not eradicate the use of peaceful protesting for a specific group of Citizens?
We’ve always used marching/protesting as an assistant tool. Failure comes when we don’t execute with diligence in unison.
I truly believe. As before we’ll get it together and claim triumph, once again.
The older folks in the audience are behaving in a highly disparaging fashion in response to nearly every point the young man is attempting to speak to, particularly, when Mr. Martin rebuffs or challenges his statements. The young man is speaking to the issues appropriately. Understandably, he is not as old or seasoned as Mr. Roland in organizing or in the political arena. However, taking points were relevant. Their disposition toward him really makes me wonder the real reason we are not winning. Keep speaking young man! You spoke well and will continue to hone your skills! We are proud of you!
Roland talked about this how one organization can make up for the issues other organizations are weaker on. A coalition of diverse organizations working together in order to reach the goal. His example was the NRA. I think Roland got it right that having hope to have the votes isn't a winning strategy. Obviously this is too complex to boil it down to one reason or other.
There were also times when Roland said he agreed with him and so did Dr. Carr. We just have to come together with the youth and elders, and I swear when that happens things could/would be achievable.
@@essencetaylor5956 Perhaps that is true. I tuned out after I saw the grotesque behavior. Dr. Carr's commentary was supportive of the young man's position. The issue I called out surpasses coming together. They came together and in coming together, they seemingly, at Mr. Roland Martin's word, "Amen'ed and that's right'ed " so hard that it really showcased how easily BP can be manipulated and how decisive many are within their own groups. This has been happening within the black community sense before The Good Ship Jesus arrived and people still have not learned. Any significant and lasting change always starts within.
I really admire that young man - smart, educated, knowledgeable, intelligent, etc, young man. 👏🏽 Good points made by all. I hope this helps many, many people as well and things get better and change.
Hello, Mr Roland, and everyone else Moniee-Mon, is listening thanks for the info and videos.
Thank you Mr. Martin for your voice. African American People who lives in Kansas City Kansas needs too stand together and be seen and heard. God bless you get them Gang Members out to stand with you so they can be heard. Every one and every voice should be heard.
Hello Cathy how are you doing today i hope everything is fine with you?
@@patrickhearther I'm blessed after all I'm blessed. No Voice, No Justice.
When praise goes up, blessings come down.
@@cathybolden1760 You are right i totally agree with you on this i love your faith in God...where are you texting from?

Thank you for highlighting this issue. Praying for all those who have been affected by this corrupt system.
Very smart and knowledgeable young man.
Roland and staff, this was a beautiful, informative discussion. Thank you on many levels!!!!!!!
Giving a platform to our communities & bringing awareness to issues such as this is why I became a member! Thanks Unc!

Good man care about black people
@@andrewgoosdy3814 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 And you wonder why no one take us serious and just patronize us for our dollars only. if we continue to follow fools why not.
Hi Roland Martin, I am a Jamaican who lived in the UK for 56 yrs, I returned back to my once beautiful island. This was my hearts desires, It didn't worry me about some of the news mud that the media was putting out about.
I had stopwatches new due to these lies that they were putting on.
I came across your show about 3wks and find your content real
Carry on the good real truth.
Hi Rose...Roland show's are one of the shows i do wash in some of my leisure times, i hope you enjoyed this video Rose?
THANKS ROLLAND WE NEEDED THIS ONE! REAL BAD! KEEP THE FIRE BURNING!
People power! Band together for a just cause we become one .Powerful .
Thank you 🙏🏾 Rolland Martin for coming to Kansas City Missouri, letting us know how our city really is and how messed up it is and how even the black men and women are not there for us dating back for years!!! It was amazing!!! Standing next to a star ⭐️ an icon!!!! Ps: I have all my shots!! Moderna, the best!!! It was a great honor Rolland, you are the bomb 💣
This is degrase. Kansas city Missouri is the worst place racist pigs look at it and see us ass slaves I can't believe it black people are being murder in. Kansas city Missouri see white people are scared of the rise of black people to the top day want to keep. Us. Down n treat us. Like slaves and animals FBI should step in n investigate there racist pigs look like day cover it up
Really loved this!!!!
Thanks for Breaking this down. Police have to be held accountable

Great show, once again. I watch the whole thing, great job peoples.
Good Job Roland!!
I like the way Rolland Martin diagnose the problems in the city. That black council-woman has to prove herself or start filling out job applications.
21:39 what this woman has said up until this point should alarm any and everyone.
It seems like my fellow Kansas Citians on the panel are defeated...😢
I'm glad the gentleman mentioned that old system of hierarchy that REQUIRES one follow the chain of command before your concern is considered legitimate. That type of system is designed to be partial and unfair. It is deliberate
You mean like every business/job/employer everywhere?
@@TrollArtist666 3
Excellent show and panel.
When I was a kid in the 60’s I was told by the KC police to get off the streets or they’d find something to take me in for. Another time I was propositioned to be an informer because I had no job
This was great. Go to more cities and help educate them. You did it right.
Hello Laura how are you doing today?
Roland is way too intelligent and smart he has touch many souls with is words he is really doing well for him self....what do you think about this video Laura?
That's , good to hear my friend you own ur show . Keep being the light for others God , bless 🙌 🙏
Most definitely real talk 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Reverend Simon Sheffield thanks for the info!!
How's it going down there KCM? Lived there as a child for only 2 yrs but I watched this entire get together for MS needs yall! You can do it!!! I hope for ya!!
I'm with you Roland! NO MORE FUCKING HOPES AND PRAYERS! It's time to move! Roland literally laid out the whole plan for everyone. This is how to take back power from corporations and politicians. This is what we need to do. It's up to us to move. and secondly, we have to make sure our voters know exactly what they are there to do.
When Mr. Roland Martin leave, please don't let this be an all talk and no action situation. Please follow up and impose the necessary actions to void this practice.
ONCE AGAIN Roland Martin dives in & shines THE LIGHT on what matters to Black communities EVERY where. Thank you Mr. Martin from Raleigh NC. 🎉❤
Hello Heather how are you doing today i hope everything is fine with you?
sheep
Roland this was excellence upon excellence tells a lot of what we blacks need to do way before the event, daily, weekly, lets get it done!!
ugh, I can barely watch these parents talk about their lost children. This is too much. Why is no one doing anything? People should not feel all of this pain caused by the police. This is extremely infuriating!!!
It’s about time someone is going around within the black communities to teach them about how to organize and mobilize to create real change! Real change only comes with policy change and removing people who hinder progress and replacing them with our own people!❤❤❤
Thanks!
Roland, I'm viewing this on TV now.
Excellent discussion and content ‼️
Love this
How can someone contact the attorney for women killed in KCK?
I pray that this is the start of something special! WE SEE U KANSAS! We are with u! Communication is powerful! So look beyond what u see in ur crowd! LET THE REST OF AMERICA KNOW WHAT U NEED AND HELP IS ON THE WAY!!!!
thank you being here
Thanks for your hard work
This was a good community townhouse meeting. There needs to be more of these.
Supreme greetings, Keep doing what you doing sister The struggle is never Until Our brother teacher and supreme commander It's walking and talking amongst us !
ONE THING CORRUPTION IS SCARED OF IS TRANSPARENCY!
Great show Roland
The person who should be front and center is the Police 👮♀️ To start with change you need to hold specifically accountable the person’s that are directly in charge.
Yes Dr. Carr that's right! I'm not in MO I'm in NC. From what I know our police is not as bad as other places but let me tell you. I'm dying inside seeing our people all across the country dying for nothing and no justice is being served anywhere. We cannot continue to sit by as we are all slaughtered by police. Something has to sweep over this whole country and change the culture of policing because I promise you we won't sit down shut up and not fight back any longer! yall need to start arming yall selves for protection! They only act like this because they know 9x out of 10 we arent armed.
That's not true black people are very well armed alot may not be legally armed but they are armed, all this black on black murders ain't from black people killing each other with rubber bands, black lives need to really matter to black people before we can expect black lives to matter to the police or anyone else, they don't take our live seriously because we as a race of people don't take our lives seriously, look at the murder rates In every major city in America
an the majority of the murders are black people killing each other not cops killing black people, I'm not saying cops are not killing unarmed black men but not at the rate that we are killing each other.
This was a good conversation but I am sad that no other groups like naacpkc and some of the groups the young man talked About was there.
Mr Martin. As a 49 year old privileged white person i wish you would’ve been my history teacher in school. I’m listening and thank you.
If he were your History teacher, you would only get black victimization stories and nothing on how blacks were successful despite slavery, Jim Crow Laws, and detrimental policies of the Democratic Party. Martin is not a historian, but rather a race baiter. If you to become knowledgeable about blacks, read books by legitimate authors such as Thomas Sowell, Booker T. Washington, Carol Swain, and Shelby. Who all conclude that blacks can not be legislated, and don’t need to be cuddled by whites. Rather, we should have an opportunity to fail so that can rise and be responsible, respectful, and a asset to America.
Humm! Horatio, if he does not meet your criteria why are you viewing and commenting of his videos? What are your qualifications?
@@marialadvenicza8193 Maria, one of the benefits that I have as a US Citizen is that I have the freedom to look at any trashy videos and provide commentary that I desire.
Yes Horatio. The typical “because, I can” and no real substance. The privilege of ignorance erodes you. Its just sad.
@@marialadvenicza8193 Maria, do you feel this way about abortions?
This was an awesome event. I wish our young folks of today would sit down and realize all the people who fought and risked their lives for the freedoms that they have today. Color people are still not free to the ability that they should be because the Crazy Karen's, Mr. 45 and people like them of the world continue to try to suppress them. I will be happy the day the young folks light bulb come on and they realize what the masses went through and still go through for them all the way back from slavery up until now to fight for the freedoms and rights the they deserve as well as all of the injustices that have been bestow upon the people of color and still being bestowed upon them right now today.
Good job brother....
Why is Roland not asking about police reaction time in his own state (that he doesn't live in). I live in Austin Texas and if my house is being broken into, it would take law enforcement 45 minutes to show up. We've been told that!
They are in it together
I love your style Martin
you doing a good job 👍 God bless
Roland you content I’d some of the greatest on the internet.
Across the Nation Stand up !
My show baby you good lol. I got to love that brother. 😎
Listen Roland.
There you go with that hol-up- hol-up.
What was the NAACP legal defense fund trying to do?
The NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF) is America's premier legal organization fighting for racial justice and equality.
get in touch with doj keep fighting !!!!!
Hollup!!! Hollup Roland!!!
Call your Congressional Black caucus
Roland I would like to know what can I do to help you
You said you were going to do this and you did. Black people keeping their word!!!
Got to respect the young man Roland!!! It's not all about you. You always have one up on everybody no matter what!!!
Hello Family!!!
Question ….Is Kansas City Missouri and Kansas City Kansas the same city?
So how did this go, did they register enough?
Wow!
keep up the good work Roland
I got shot at and told the police who did it and it has been 2 weeks and still no arrest
I like you Roland but can you please let people finish their statement?
How come kc does not follow, Wichita structure? It's not perfect but a lot better than what I'm hearing
How come there are so few people in the room? Dang
Why are their so few people in this forum. Pray they have not been 'whitewashed'. But regardless of the number of people,there are enough to strive to prosecute the guilty ones. Stand up and be counted, let your voice be heard.
Roland,
In order for the Kansas City's local government to break loose from the clutches of the State controlled and ran local Law Enforcement, it's going to take the DOJ to intervene or a total uprising from it's citizens as that requires major protesting, social and mainstream media coverage, filing discriminatory lawsuits with the State Supreme Court and/or The U.S. Supreme Court even, though some of these unfair Statue's we're instituted back in the 1930's it's time to upgrade these laws as they don't reflect the current plight of Kansas City's citizens and how Kansas City's current infrastructure doesn't address Kansas City's growing needs in human resources that's not addressed in the current Statue's in the City's Budget.
Here is the problem people have not factor in that these Department Agency are CAGE code entities Commercial and Government Entities, this means that they operate in 2 capacity private and public, Public Justice and Private Law enforcement. So not only do they get money from the Public Tax Payers, as well as private corporations like, the Home Association, Walmart, the Department of Motor Vehicles, Target or etc. who fund them to carryout it's private law affairs.
Kansas City. I know not to go there.

I’m voting for the young man in the white hat.
I hope your community becomes safer and stays that way. Do you have sheriff departments? Since the sheriff is elected by the people, they are often far better than police.
Speak young black man... Love you boi
It took Facebook a minute to post my comment, I feel like I’m being monitored when posting on Facebook
FB does monitor comments/conversations. The will send you warnings, block you for various reasons... and for a certain period of time for various conduct, etc.
Sounds like St. Louis Mo.
It takes too long for the show begin yes.
You can't do any thing about these slave catchers and slave patrols. Nothing has changed. I am from Thomasville North Carolina and they post up in our neighborhood all day and night. How do they investigate each other. Just a stroke of a pin they write laws against
Dr. Carr I reject anyone who claims that all of any group is bad or evil including Police. The institutions are not racist PEOPLE ARE! We need to root out those people and in that way we can reform the institutions and deconstruct finally Jim Crow
I can't hear you
I love Roland Martin! However, he is somewhat incorrect about the NRA not looking at race when supporting the 2nd Amendment. See their stance on the Mulford Act (1967).
Vote the cops out They do not need any more money The board need to be voted out
Whenever I wonder why racism exists to the level it does, I watch this channel and Roland Martin. He fuels the racisn and it is so sad. There are people, white people, im sure that are racist people. I also think there are black people, like Roland Martin, that hate white people. That said, I believe that most people aren't hateful people and want everyone to succeed, be happy, and be contributing members of society. I would love to see people that aren't playing the race or gender card at every moment and BE. BE BLESSED BE HAPPY. Live your life and stop waiting to be validated. Black people, in Roland's mind all need reparations.....does that fix everything?
WE HAVE GOT TO GET RID OF ALL K,CM,O, POLICE COMMISSIONERS, COPS, JUDGES, LAWYERS, DISTRICT ATTORNEYS MAYORS! THAT ALLOW THIS SHIT TO HAPPEN TO OUR PEOPLE! THIS IS A REAL CASE OF REAL RICO. RICO SHOULD BE CHARGED TO THE GOVERNOR AND GOVERNMENT FOR WHAT HAS HAPPEN IN KANSAS CITY M.O. ONE OF THE MOST WICKED POLICE DEPARTMENTS IN THE WORLD.
TIME FOR REAL RICO CHARGES! TO BE FILED AGAINST THE KANSAS CITY M.O POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE STATE OF MISSOURI!
@1:35:02 ~ I do not have compassion for Black people that want to sit out elections, or definitely not the ones who vote for Republicans. Look at Martin Luther King Junior and all that he went through. He said in jail, he waited decades, he was beaten almost to death, etc. You don’t get to vote in one election and then cry yourself to sleep because you don’t get things done immediately. How can I respect people that are so weak and clueless?
Thankfully Roland corrects these people from their foolishness. I wish she would just go in on them like crazy, but I know that often will have the opposite outcome. When you criticize people often they’re like a turtle that goes inside their own shell rather than realizing their foolishness.
59:17 ????? Radio???
what was i watching vivki dilliard kept saying you looking @ roland martin and his funny looking self ha,,ha,,,ha,,,
