They Don't Give A Damn! Tenn. Repubs RENEGED On Deal, VACATES ENTIRE TSU Board
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- In a controversial move, trustees of Tennessee’s sole publicly funded historically Black university were ousted on Thursday through legislation signed into law by Republican Governor Bill Lee. Critics, including Black lawmakers and community leaders, argue that the predominantly white state leadership unfairly singled out Tennessee State University. The bill swiftly passed the GOP-controlled House in a 66-25 vote on Thursday, with Lee endorsing it shortly after without addressing the contentious nature of the decision. Instead, he commended TSU as a "remarkable institution" while revealing his selection of 10 new replacements.

Tennessee government is showing what they want to do to all HBCU
EXACTLY! It is all part of their DEI aka "American Apartheid" attack scheme.
Southern states are all doing it in one way or another. Look at Mississippi. For the last 50 years they go to Washington claiming that they are one of the poorest states in the union but their department of human services is carrying a 92% rejection rate. But you will dig into those same funds and pay Brett favre for a speech and a volleyball gym. They have been running that scam forever and Benny Thompson hasn't said a thing. He definitely needs to go.
Thank you
True and if repubs wins in November again and Trumo gets into office the funding will continue but you'll see less that what this current administration is suoplying.
Then move to Chicago
He hit the nail on the head! They OWE the HBCU $2 Billion dollars!
We dont owe the HBCU anything
@littledickydolittle3071 they have already admitted they haven't founded this school, this is federal money they have taken, but not given.
Not you littledicky
@@littledickydolittle3071and as you can see, one one cares to address your ignorance. I guess I’m your huckleberry….
@@littledickydolittle3071guess what, funding higher education is part of being a taxpayer, you can leave if you don’t like it.
@@edvh88 _funding higher education is part of being a taxpayer, you can leave if you don’t like it_
Tennessee taxpayers, disagree 😃
The Tennessee Government does not want to give TSU the money that they are owed.
TSU was a target from the beginning.
They owe the school what?🤔
Dept of education did a study and found out that most states owe hundreds of millions of dollars to HBCUs so the state government voted to remove the board because the school saying "give us what you owe us"
@@WarrenHollythey owe them 2 billion dollars.
Exactly! This is a witch hunt due to them not wanting to pay their debt owed
@@kimberlyreynolds4646 They only asking for the 544 million thus far!
BOYCOTT TENNESSEE!!!
They have no shame and showing their true colors, the only thing they didn’t do was burn a white cross on the lawn.
I dont know WHY we keep expecting anything different from these people. lol.
A creature doesn't have shame for what it is. That would be like the Terminator having shame for doing what it naturally does.
We need to deal with them for what we KNOW them to be for over a 2000 years so we can avoid all the pitfalls.
They do not burn crosses now,they "burn" the funds by missallocation, underfunding, fraudulant with holding and stacking the boards of trustee with their acolytes.
Exactly
@@CensoredComment-os8pyWell said! I couldn’t have said it any better! 👍🏾
Right now Ytes see you as a huge burden, a constant cost for little return. Stop demanding they keep paying their money to you. Start doing things for yourselves, and earn the Ytes respect for you.
TennSU needs to get the federal government involved to sue the state for unfair treatment of TennSU based and racism.
All southern states need to join together and do something. Most are going through the same things.
Stop crying and whining and always looking for a free handout
@atlexpress5236 people like yourself is the exact reason why the world is F'd up
@hiphopplantations wit what money, it take money to make drastic change come on now....
What tf is "TennSU". It's TSU.
Wow he said except the crumbs we send you. I'm from Atlanta and i will never spend a penny in Tennessee. Black people stand up and boycott Tennessee until they feel the pain of those words.
Actually we as blacks need to stop sending money or plan visits to states like TN & FL. Wherever they show their true colors, we need to stop sending them our green.
@@kennethpadgettflightparame3548 THE ENTIRE SOUTH!
I was thinking the same, poor choice of words.
@@kennethpadgettflightparame3548 We whites (who pay 93% of the taxes. blaqs pay less than 1%) wouldn't mind spending our tax money on HBCU's. But we have to spend that money on Bidens 13 million illegal immigrants.
Sorry, out of money.
This needs to go to court. This is discrimination. Boycott!
Federal Money should go directly to the Universities!
Yes
Remember this when someone tells you “ what you have to lose voting for a republican “
Well then stop always complaining then if your Dems do so much for you. There’s a name for that I’ll let you figure out what it is
We want to give money to HBCU's but can't. We have to use that money to pay for Bidens migrants.
Sorry, out of money.
Give ‘em what they want. College athletes boycott the states where representatives voted in error. Watch their money go down.
Watch their scholarships disappear...
@@annmhmoore0771the revenue is more important than scholarships lol even though I agree with you. The schools would lose way to much money without good sports programs especially football and basketball. That’s why they caved on NIL.
Yep, black football players and basketball players can put it into this overnight, but they won’t because they’re pathetic.
Open your eyes. Your ignorance and racism is showing.@mylokaf
It's hard to say that. That's like saying dont go to work until your company does xyz... Unfortunately, the bills still need to be paid. And thats how they keep us stuck.
As a TSU alumni, I am sadden by what this state has done. First, they try to oust three representatives and now they don't want african american high schoolers who are college bound to attend the college of their choice.
If you built your own school you wouldn't be complaining. You beg for opportunities from people?That obviously don't want you there.
@@pinkybeastswhat? Please move along with your tone deaf comments
Vote blue folks,vote like your life depends on it.
Nothing new in the south
@@pinkybeasts I paid my own tuition, I did not have to beg anyone for anything. I invested in myself and got my degrees plus made Magna Cum Laude'. So do not come to me with a begging statement. Stay in your Lane STUPID.
We need to stop being SOFT. Use all resources you have to get what you are ENTITLED TO!
This brother does not want to fight this situation because he keeps avoiding answering the questions
THANK YOU!!!! Talking about he's a preacher and shit.....LIKE WTF...They are changing the game right in front your face and are laughing at you while they do it.....That State Rep had no fire in his belly at all....JUST WEAK...We are going to go via the legislative process.....THE OPPOSITION PARTY HAS A SUPER MAJORITY!!! Dr. Carr was right....SUE SUE SUE!!!!
Exactly you are the only one who noticed that. I’m shocked that he also doesn’t seem to know much of anything to me Roland knows more then the man who should know all of this
I don't think anyone 🤔 wants to fight. It's not a fight it's getting what's yours😊
Don't call him brother
???? WHY IS HE NOT SURE SO MUCH- ROLAND YOU WERE MORE AWARE OF THE SITUATION THAN HE WAS AND HE HOLDS A OFFICE IN THE GOVERNMENT
Over the past couple of years the enrollment at TSU was exploding so much that a state representative in a hearing asked Dr. Glover point blank why so many students are flocking there and not to UT. That spoke volumes. TSU was drawing students away from other schools. The Grammy the Aristocrat of Bands won also drew heavy interest. So on top of the fact the state owes TSU billions, its popularity was overshadowing the other state schools. I’m here in Tennessee with friends who are past and present TSUs and believe me, there’s a lot more to this.
Absolutely Correct!!
VOTE : These people should not be allowed to serve in government.
We got to get out and vote. Everybody!
This why the government was formed to oppress others.
You can't get them out everything is locked up in gerrymandering
This guy looks as though he does not want to rock the boat!!!
It's not safe to "rock the boat." Look into Gary Johnson former Republican who went to the Libertarian Party and actually ran for president in 2016.
Mr Love is lacking courage for this fight. He needs to go see the wizard ASAP
He is frustrating me in this interview.
I, agree with Mr. Martin the TSU needs that money , please sue them federal level, and goes all of HBCU colleges.
This is retribution to TSU for what they did to black reps that was suspended and then reinstated for gun legislation to be passed , but refused to be passed by republican legislature.please pay HSBCU schools what is allotted to them. This is bad optics for republicans.
Rep. Love is in over his head. He doesn't know how to fight to fight.
I get that same feeling. They should've already been prepared for this outcome. I don't follow Tennessee politics as close as others, but I knew they were not going to stop until that board was out. They are very predictable.
He's a pastor that says a lot; He gets funding from the State Government to keep our people asleep at whatever church he's at;
I was looking for this comment before I replied. That’s the first thing I noticed. It seems Roland was leading him to answer the question he knew nothing about. I hope he’s not the decision maker when battling these folks. He’s confused. Makes you wonder what them folks see. (Optics). For one he talks too much extra about nothing.
Amen. I just made the exact note about Mr. LOVE. He knows nothing about everything. All but 3 are whites sitting on the board of TSU.
He's too passive with "NO" backbone!!! These clear ppl are not messing around and they know these blk leaders aren't going to do anything but form a protest and march!!!!! You need to go March to the courthouse!!!!!
I wouldn't lose any sleep over him or her. When people show you who they really are, please believe them...wolves in sheep clothing.
I can understand why he stated that its has taken a toll but do they think that this is their plan to cause so much chaos to make them give up and they doing just that I was raised to stand up for my belief that if you see wrong you do everything and almost anything to do what needs to be done and for them to give up because of obstacles tells me they are not the ones to be fighting for this school or anything else
Crooked m'fers
This is sickening. Thanks to the man with the passionate speech though
Aren't these idiots the same ones that targeted both of the Justins?
YELP
Yep!
I’m in TN. Go look up the story on Mason, TN-a small black community with a majority black administration in West TN that these politicians tried a couple of years ago to take over because of “financial issues” found by the comptroller that were actually done by the previous administration for years and not the current. And here’s what came out. Mason is set to benefit greatly because of the new Ford Factory being built just a a few miles away which will provide an economic boost to Mason in business and land development/value when it opens in 2025. See the pattern? There’s “an unspoken more” to this than just money owed to that school.
Dr Carr is shaking his head like dude are you serious
I am yelling at my tv too - I mean WHAT- these dirty bigots are playing for keeps
He is like a fish out of water.....not grasping the urgency of this situation!!! Fight fire with fire!!! Help these blk students!! It's sad when asked by the students what's the next move and he doesn't have an answer 😢
Smh. They gave not a damn. Its shameful.
When will we realize the power that we have?
Yes! Look at P Diddy. A strong, powerful black man. 😂😂😂😂
@@ontherockswithsalt2335look at trump a powerful white man that's been convicted of sexual assault and running for president...I guess your going to give him $175M hahaha....
This is the blueprint for dismantling HBCUs🤬🤬😡
If you’re scared say you’re scared smh
Government need to stop giving money to the governors and appt an overseer for these HBCUs so they can get there monday call Karmla up 😮
Sorry! Kamala hasn't busted a grape since being in her post. sorry to say!
The government needs to give the money directly to the departments who are requesting the funds. Look at Mississippi. For the last 50 years they go to Washington claiming that they are one of the poorest states in the union but your department of human services is carrying a 92% rejection rate but you will dig into those same funds and pay Brett favre for a speech and a volleyball gym. Follow me! They have been running this scam forever and Benny Thompson hasn't said a thing. I guess he's getting his cut.😏
This is what gets on my nerves about Blacks in Tennessee they are too scared to do anything; they should be suing like Roland Martin said, hell "rock the boat" BLACK TENNESSEE!!!
The representative in the video was more fired up!
@@nichellerodriguez1524 Exactly!
Mr. LOVE seem to not know much about anything. He is out of the loop or too scared. It is obvious to me that he lacks the fire in the belly. Let him go preach.
@@janedoe1229 💯
Last March my wife and I purchased 6 acres of beautiful land in Eastern Tennessee which we planned to develop and build a home. But over the past 12+ months the actions of the state of Tennessee has shown that racism is alive and well as shown by multiple actions taken. I can not accept the overt racism and unacceptable direction this state is going. Therefore, we have decided to sell our land and reinvest those resources into purchasing additional land in beautiful Rwanda 🇷🇼. My Brother, the direction this country is heading is disgusting! We want no part of the New Segregation, Black Codes and Jim Crow!
As an American whose forefathers died for this country to provide the freedoms you enjoy I say GOOD! Don't let the door hit you on the way out!
My son went to Rwanda in the miltary . You will not be happy there. To many restrictions very strict laws.
@ontherockswithsalt2335 That man is just as much as an American as you. Our black ancestors fought in every war for our own freedoms as well as those of our fellow Americans. As a citizen of this country we have every right to critique something about OUR COUNTRY that we don’t like. We don’t have to just shut up and accept something we don’t like. The point of politics and voting is to effect change. If you want something changed you obviously don’t like it. Critique is part of politics period. But for some reason certain people don’t think black people should have a voice or opinion. We will stay if we want, we will go if we want. You don’t run anything or anybody. And we will not be quiet.
Gentlemen Tennessee is a very Conservative Stronghold!!! Has to be dealt with accordingly as such!!!😮😮😮😮
To all of the people that really believe trump gave HBCUs a record amount of money, why aren't they confronting him on this issue?
Why did Tenessee keep voting for these republicans.
The maps are twisted and too many of our black men are investing their time in those plantations/ penitentiarys.
Gerrymandering
Because outside of Memphis and Nashville, the state is red.
@@WarrenHollyBM are leading the pro-Republican charge, everywhere. Even if they weren't in the penitentiary, they'd be supporting them.
Because they are RACISTS!
I can't find the words to express my appreciation to you for this information. This is a real call to action with all you have suggested. Many Thanks & God bless!
Poppa Graig is getting in their A$$!! Its not time to be timid brother damn Graig is good mad 😡
I don't understand why no one mentions the fact that the governor seats 8 of 10 board members. So the governor will replace his own appointees or those of his Republican predecessor. It is a complete waste of time and flipping off of Black Folk in Tennessee.
The Governor Bill Lee has tried to completely take over Nashville and it's finances. He even tried to throw out Nashville's board of trustees because they voted not to have the National Republican political convention for Trump. He will not stop until all of Nashville's funding goes through the GOP. Republican Gov Lee Announces Appointments to Key Boards & Commissions including Tennessee Board of Parole, Heritage Conservation Trust Fund Board, Textbook and Instructional Materials Quality Commission, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Advisory Board, University of Tennessee at Martin Advisory Board, State Board of Accountancy, Real Estate Commission, Tennessee Motor Vehicle Commission, Tennessee Auctioneer Commission, Air Pollution Control Board. He is not going to rest until Republican attorneys have taken over everything in Nashville and the rest of the state. Follow the money.🤔
Roland keep fighting
This is so insane! What are people thinkin and is anybody lookin? When we gonna give up on racism, when we gonna grow up? There is so much we need to do and people give space to bigotry. Help us
Well said.
Bigotry is the energy and space from which they operate, You can't spit on someone and tell them it's rain, when they stop it'll stop.
Bo spoke the absolute truth!
I'm a California resident, and the way the Tennessee legislation works sounds like something from another country !
Kkk Country
If it works in Tennessee, other states with republican majorities will probably do something similar. Watch out HBCU'S in Louisiana.
So I hope HBCUs are watching and getting ready to fight. Tenn wasn't ready. They thought they were negotiating in good faith with these fools. No such thing. Up next Florida.
Grambling to strong .... LOUISIANA HBCUS are strong
They’re already trying some sneaky stuff in MS which puts Jackson State, Alcorn, and the 7 other HBCUs under a microscope.
@@alfredorundell1989 I hope so. We need these institutions to be strong.
No fraud or malfeasance.. why is the board being vacated???? They just did what they wanted to do!!!!
What they are saying is... What eva you ninjas are doing, we want control over it. That's one way to stop those uppity ninjas.
Uppity? Nah, whiney is what I was thinking.
They after some of that 13 billion for HBCU schools missing obviously
Thank U Roland for constantly giving this Lady of (many Years) the joy of a knowledge especially from U yong People. I am trying to talk to as many as I can to at least, try to listen to what Roland Martin and Your different (Guest) have to say .
Football and basketball players at TSU need to get in the portal immediately.....LEAVE!!!!!!
And give up the one place they ACTUALLY excel?😂😂😂😂😂
No My friend ,They need to stay and players from SEC and Power 5, ACC schools need to transfer there. Players who are 4 star or even 5 star warming the benches of these PWI"s should leave and play for Eddie George or Brian Collins.
Kylin Hill from Mississippi State in 2020 " said change the Confederate flag or I am leaving, the school, MSU abided by not flying the flag.
@@ontherockswithsalt2335Another racist troll. Get lost.
Bruh it’s hard to pas up a full ride scholarship. The C-19 situation gave athletes extra years. Players are 25 & 26 still on the team. On top of that the transfer portal. According to the official numbers out of the NCAA, entering the portal and trying your luck somewhere else is by no means a sure thing. In fact, almost half of the players who transfer don't find a new school to attend. The HBCU coaches should recruit those players.
My fellow black individuals.We need to raise up with coalitions from one end of the nation to the other and get out and vote.
Bless Rep Love's heart. I am sure he's given all he can, but there's clearly an old guard, "Us'in caint make masa mad", mentality. TN state needs to find some young Justin's mentalities. They better get that money b4 DJT gets reelected, and they do away with the DOE and HBCUs all together.
I don't think he's given all he can at all. He seems to lack a willingness to fight.
Greg is still Greg. Keep that fight in you brother.
Nice speech Bo.
I love me some Greg Carr ❤❤❤
Right?! Nothing but love ❤
If the guy being interviewed is an example of the leadership that's half the problem. Roland knows more about what's going on than he does. He too often says, "I don't know."
Thank you rep mitchell
Powerful information
Tennessee State University need to sue.. for the money that do. Roland Martin stay on there necks please..
Whether pro-choices is on the ballot or not is irrelevant, "Women of America" if you want your rights back, not to mention keeping their freaking hands off of our social security, healthcare and entitlements, Vote straight ticket Democrat. 100%
Biden /Harris 2024
Yeah vote for the literal destruction of your community! How moronic!
There is no room for mismanagement! No room for compromise. You don't reward people who are not doing the job! And then we quickly cry 😢 racism. BS!
I'm good. I don't murder my babies. Course I know how to use protection in the first place.
It's sad how generation after generation after generation after generation has to continue to fight in this country. Bigotry keeps reproducing itself. But the blessing is that fighters are also producing and becoming wealthier and having more influence and different ways of fighting.
Thank you, speak to these fools sir.
Thanks for keeping it REAL 💯
👑 knowledge is POWER
Every single African American athlete that plays for the PWI University Tennessee Knoxville NEEDS to REFUSE to play both football and basketballl immediately. Where is their courage? African Americans across this country need to apply pressure to them to STAND UP! That goes for those atheletes at any other university where the state is actively attacking POCs.
I agree, but this ain't about POCs. This about Black people. Plain and simple.
THEY TOOK IT FROM YOU!!! NOW, TS will no longer be an HBCU! THAT was ALWAYS THE GOAL!
Waiting on what bs sue their assets immediately.
Harold Love needs to be replaced. We need a fighter for TSU.
The strength is Justin Jones and Justin Williams.The gentleman Jim role is tired when dealing with these ODB'S.
Aggie Pride! Love to see you representing my Alma Mater Roland.
It's about the money
My heart is breaking. 😔
I ❤ HBCUs
He seems to laid back about the situation!!! They should have gotten the lawsuit together when they told them they're going to replace trustee. Sue!!! Get the DOJ involved!!
They are probably afraid 😮 It's 2024, but you would be surprised
TN Rep Love PLEASE listen to Dr Carr
Thank you and your team for your fervor, support ,and persistent efforts in truly educating those of us who think that they are enlightened. No disrespect to your guest ,but if he is an example of the leaders expected to fight for TSU , I certainly won't bet on a positive outcome.❤
TN is going back 60-80 years. They don’t care. And never will care. Don’t spend a dime in TN unless it’s to Black owned establishments. Look and see how God brings judgement on this State. At least the part that pulls stunts like this. Thanks Roland. We appreciate your efforts for keeping us aware. Stay healthy, get rest Ro; We need you. Lord, keep our man strong. Amen.
Without any oversight to hold them accountable for the action, what's the sense of urgency on their part to change their behavior?
Black and Brown Money is the only thing that matters
All black football players at the University of Tennessee don't play football this coming Fall
Don't hold your breath on that 😂.
I see Representative Love is attempting to be careful about what he says. He’s scared. And he doesn’t need to be in office with that kind of fear in his heart. And he’s a pastor?!?🤡
When ppl show you who they are believe them.
Someone has to fight them, but it's not going to be none of these clowns. So fucking sad😢
He seems so docile. OMFG, he's scared as hell.
This representative comes off weak. I see another HBCU going down.
TN Rep Love go hard @ your Gov. he wants y'all to be soft, F the new gov's new board
Thank You! The ancestors are all over This!!
Thank you Roland and everyone envolved
These ppl throw piss in your face n tell you it's rain water!!
The good old boys. If there was ever a corrupt state this is it.
BLACK PLAYERS LEAVE THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE!! TSU is important!!!
MAKE THE VOLUNTEER FANS FEEL WHAT TSU FEELS!!!!
I wish they had that type of backbone but I fear they won't. Here in Black Shelby County been fighting with the rest of the State for many years. Nashville and Knoxville been stealing money forever. That's how they've built their cities up.
I still say, when eligible black voters and allies don't vote, this is what happens. A lot of what's goin on in this country with republican majorities, the people who don't get educated and Vote is part of the blame.
Exactly 💯 I have lost counts of the numbers of Black folks who created excuses to not vote: I was tired; I had to work; I had a headache; I forgot 😮 Now here we are!!
Part of the problem is the dems barely have favorable policies for people to vote for. They have been running on “Republicans are bad, so give us your vote”. We can’t waste our precious votes and get nothing other than the ability to say “at least it’s not a Republican in office”. That’s not a win if the democrat that is sitting there is not doing anything for their constituents. Democrats have to give us something in exchange for our vote. The attitude of “at least is not a Republican” is not good enough anymore. We need the dems to stop being so passive and fight.
The Black Caucus needs to file the lawsuit!!! Rep. Ronnie Glynn let's go!!!!
This shyt is crazy FIGHT TSU‼‼‼‼
Thanks!
That brother has good intentions, but he is in over his head. Wake Up America!!!
Thats messed up. How come they didn’t do that to the University of Tennessee this what you call blatant racial open discrimination by the state government
Brother Roland, that dude is just glad to have the crumbs they threw at him. Nothing they're done is substantial or long lasting.
This is very sad. Roland bringing light to this issue makes one thing very apparent, mr love and those of his ilk are simply out of their depth for a fight of this caliber. Roland through questioning brings it out, and the good Dr. Hit it home. Good intentions will not solve or remedy the problem, you have to fight. Wanting something to be right is not enough to correct that which is wrong. They need help over there and much sooner than later. You have a situation where Hbcus are effectively being cheated out of finances and being reorganized on the basis of questioning it. A good place to start is if they did not and have not been receiving allocated funds, then where did the federally issued money go? Money is like information, it always goes somewhere.
What we have it seems is someone asking for the money but not willing to fight for it
Sue the state gov..... Why can't the fed department of ..... step in, follow the money they gave and prosecute for mis use of federal funds? This is also a lack of feds protecting the AA population. Fight, Fight, Fight
RACIST MOVE !! we live rent-free in their mind everyday they think of something new for us and we just Keep On Truckin y'all Keep On Truckin !! ; -) we be ok !
and you know what Eddie Kendrick song just came on Keep On Truckin baby keep on
