He stopped us from bringing it. the hit and roll the unfiltered barton come on our enemies a strange weekend in the city of

dallas

where a police officer shot and killed a man and the story she told was that she thought he was in her apartment and when he entered shot and killed him, this is very strange, so Amber, a guy who worked about 1214 hours over the weekend and apparently went to his apartment and, as the story goes, thought he was an intruder in his apartment, well, She shot him dead on the spot. They're both he, Jean, he was actually in her own apartment, he was an associate at PricewaterhouseCoopers, the big accounting and consulting firm.

Now the crazy thing is that after they called the guy to 9-1-1, they arrived on the scene and tried to save both of them. then he died but she was not arrested this happened on Thursday it was not until three days later she was arrested in a neighboring county when she was finally arrested her bail was set at 300 one hundred thousand dollars she was released on bail right now she is

free

and what happens The world is happening there in Dallas, a big controversy there, in the city of Dallas, of course, they were actually leading the investigation, then Maish went from the Dallas investigation to the Texas Rangers and they said she had not been arrested because she

still

I was cooperating, okay?

This is the strange thing: she was not on duty, so she shot and killed this man, but they treat her as if she were actually on duty, which also doesn't make sense now, it's something different. Now her story is changing, well, the initial story. what he gave is that she had trouble opening the door he comes to the door in his underwear opens a door she shoots him her news is that she came in she saw him he ordered her to back off everything that is happening is crazy, let's talk with family attorney Ali Marin, who has also been hired on this case along with Ben Crump, but first, this is both genes, the mother spoke at a press conference today about what we won.

I'm not satisfied that we have all the answers and the The number one answer I want is what happened. I have too many questions. I look forward to all the powers that be coming forward with answers so I can be more satisfied that they are doing what is best to get justice. For bullsháá, very good friends, let's talk to the mayor of Li and of course he had the family lawyer in just a second, but for someone, go to Avis Jones. Weber was one of our panelists, of course, she is leadership strategies on lifestyle strategies and author of How Exceptional Black Women Lead this is a strange and strange story Avis because the story is changing again it's changing she doesn't get arrested three days she passes through the city of Dallas they direct her and also the Texas Rangers are involved and again this was not a shooting on duty, right, they are literally treating her as if she did this on duty.

You absolutely know one thing that doesn't change Roland, the truth, the truth doesn't change, so the fact that she already changed her story. so drastically it raises all kinds of red flags for me Hi Franklin initially the story raised all kinds of red flags for me if it sounds ridiculous and unbelievable it's probably unbelievable well the fact that it changed even gives more credence to the fact that she is lying well. It was strange to me since again this whole idea of ​​I thought he was in my apartment, first of all his apartment is on a totally different floor in his apartment, yes we also know it was a red carpet that was in front of his house, His appartament. that wasn't in front of her and now the story is changing and it's like she doesn't understand how you suddenly blend in.

I have never been confused. I have not been wrong. apartment I don't have it either and you know there is furniture there are items of identification that are in your apartment that are not in someone else's apartment and even if the lights were off in your apartment there is light in the hallway so when you open the door that's going to bring some illumination to that new space, you can't tell me, she didn't realize it until she killed this man, but she wasn't in her own apartment. Now this is what's strange. This is the initial story that came out.

I was informed that she said that when she got home she took the elevator to a floor that was not hers, well, then she went to what she thought was her door, put the key in and struggled with the lock, then left several things she was holding and continued I struggled with the key when the resident opened the door, startling her. Geiger believed that Gene, who was only wearing underwear, was an intruder and yelled with his service weapon, he's fine, so let's face it all he has is underwear mm-hmm, why would you shoot? He instead of saying sir, what is he doing? my apartment, go up the hallway, go see this side, but don't worry, the thieves who robbed houses in their underwear with this, these are new to me now according to JD Miles, who is a reporter. there in Dallas said to break her tweet, sources reveal, and Berg told investigators that she yelled at Jean to show her hands after she entered her apartment, pulled out his firearm and shot him.

Officers say the door was open and she thought she was coming in. unit when he saw a victim in the dark now that night I struggled with the lock, right, I couldn't get in now the door was open I went in mm-hmm and in a more subtle way I'm sorry you're lying, no I don't understand why they said you're lying, you can't leave. I struggle to open the door and the door opens. There are also underwear. Oh, he's standing. OH. The doors are completely open. I mean, I've lived in apartments. I don't understand. I live in an apartment now, but I lived in an apartment for many years while I was in college, all that stuff and you know, those mats that you put in front of your apartment are a very identifying marker, it's hot and he had a red mat in front a It's impossible for me to believe that she even approached his door without even seeing a red mat, knowing that he doesn't have any mat in front of his apartment, that the whole house in which she prepares this story doesn't even make sense in terms of the facts and the fact that their story has changed so noticeably, I mean, they're not even close, to me, it's just incredible, well, this is also what happens, I think, when you have a shoot of everyone. to the police officer and when they give the officer all kinds of leeway, they would absolutely never give it to any other citizen, you can't tell me that if I had shot someone and killed them, three days would go by and they would ever have arrested completely and the family is not given the information that they should be given, they are the victims here, they are the victims here and the police, as expected, are closing ranks and protecting their own, and despite that the city of Dallas that converted this to the Texas Rangers and apparently it was found in Kaufman County, which is a nearby county in Dallas, what they did next was, but this happened in Dallas County, well, the prosecutor of the district had a press conference earlier and said, well, let's be clear, we will convene a grand jury in this case, so the initial decision was that it would be a manslaughter charge hmm, but even that is still concerning to people because here there's her 26 year old man in his own apartment, being a thinning citizen, aha, he's dead, yes, and then one of the stories say that at the time she was so distraught about what happened, yes, but you're alive and he's dead exactly, I mean, really to the extent and leeway given to the white woman's tears it's driving me crazy, he's lost his life. had a surprising feature in front of him and as you mentioned, to establish the facts of this, first of all, she is out of order and makes the incredible mistake of going to the wrong apartment on the wrong floor with an identification marker even out of order. the apartment to indicate that it is not hers and she still enters this apartment claims that she cannot see any furniture any photos anything about that apartment that would alert her to the fact that it is the wrong apartment and suddenly she shoots to death a man in his underwear who is in his own apartment is a law abiding citizen and has no reason to, frankly, could, you know, follow any order, it's because he's actually being invaded at that moment she's the intruder, it doesn't help , agree According to this affidavit, Geiger lived on the third floor directly below his apartment.

He lived on the fourth floor. She mistakenly parked on the fourth floor after finishing a shift. Al's Police Department is now court again according to the Dallas Morning News story when she arrived at Gene's house. door Geiger entered a unique door key with an electronic chip in the keyhole. Ok, the affidavit says the door was already a jar, so the force of pushing the key in opened the door directly. I mean, this is, I mean, I don't understand and the affidavit. says that the apartments' respective interior floor plans are in most respects identical or extremely similar.

Well, here's a deal that doesn't mean anything to me because the reality is that an apartment smells different. The furniture looks different. If I walk into my apartment, there's a lamp here. I don't have a lamp, it doesn't make sense. I'm still trying, so Allie Meredith was hired by the family on this particular case and that's why she spoke to us on FaceTime right now. Lee, how do you do it? Lee this is so crazy and confusing because it's her idea again she said the night he was killed she struggled to get the key in and he opened the door now it was something the door was open yeah this is the first one official narrative that has been offered to this family about what happened.

In the narration of the first night we believe that he can't, but it wasn't all just talking, the family is obviously devastated by this, well how do you feel too about this strange thing where they treat her like she's a police officer who was involved in? is a police officer who shoots, she was off duty, regardless of whether she was on duty or not, and she clocked out, the problem is that she is still wearing that uniform, he is still carrying a service pistol and so Therefore, she appears before the public under the color of state authority, so everyone who saw her would have been more enlightened as a police officer and that is important because that would allow her, for example, access to this department.

I can tell you that there is evidence, there are witnesses who say that the narratives that she presented are directly contradicted by Things That Happen, there are several witnesses that have told us that and we recorded it at the district attorney's office and they have that information, they were calling at Jeannie's door, at John's door, that and saying: leave me and so on, this eret that we came out of on Wednesday as the best possible narrative of the boring Giger, but a second here, now you're breaking up, Lee, so we'll try to fix this and then you're saying that witnesses have said they heard her say Let me in.

I also saw some photos of them taking together. Have you heard anything from family members about a prodigious relationship between those two? I have spoken to the only ideal of a relationship is that she was in our apartment directly below, we previously received noise complaints from trampling upstairs and that is the extent of the relief we have been able to discover that D complains that he is also doing. There is a lot of noise upstairs, but we have corroborated witnesses who say that she was banging on the door and thatThey heard his attack. They mentioned that she was screaming.

Let me come in now, as far as you know, I had the Texas Rangers talk to those people because again that totally contradicts who she is. saying I'm looking here again like a Dallas Morning News story where they claimed in this affidavit that she said she saw a large silhouette of someone who thought they were being assaulted, but again, I'm still saying she gave verbal commands that were ignored, He fired Jean twice. She was hit once in the torso, turned on the lights, then went to the front door again and realized her apartment was not hers.

I'm still confused because this affidavit is different from what she said right after the shooting, yes it contradicts her own testimony. and you asked a question about the Rangers, the Rangers have offered that they believe everything this woman told them that they believe she has been sincere from the beginning, the problem is that she would offer two different narratives. I can tell the DA had some faith left. or credibility for what she has said, especially as this new evidence was presented, the Rangers were told about these other witnesses, they never bothered to go interview them, well, they never successfully interviewed them, we assumed they had made when we went to talk to the district attorney yesterday.

When we found out that she had not left all the witnesses, they came, gave testimony and now the evidence is being presented. Do you think it was fair for the city of Dallas to turn this over to the Texas Rangers and for the department not to investigate? one of them was that it was a smart decision by the city of Dallas. I think it was a smart decision by the city of Dallas, it's just that they couldn't investigate themselves in this case because as soon as she made the claim. that she was operating as a police officer even when you're off duty, if she was drinking in a bar and heard someone break into a car outside, the moment she goes out to investigate she resumes her position as a police officer, so she doesn't have to clock in or clock out or her training automatically changes that position, so this is something that there is a lot of responsibility for and although they had to bring in someone else, I don't think it would be wise to reprint that's what Dallas or, well, poor thing, I'm actually so like we broke up LeBaron, so I'm sorry, I can't listen to you now because we have literally lost your connection, leave mayor, that is very appreciated, thank you very much, we will be talking to you.

In the next few days, as we follow this very strange case again,

folks

, Amber Geyer, she actually made that bill, she's

free

as we speak, so there's a new affidavit that now shows something totally different in the initial story that she gave. Is this story going to go on hiatus right now and we're going to have Serena Williams drama again even though Naomi Osaka isn't doing it? She is the winner of the US Open. Everyone talks about Serena's behavior. Was Serena right or wrong? And the way she responded. the referees' decision, bring it below right here on Roland Martin without filter, very good friends, a lot of drama with the US Open which is on Saturday.

Serena Williams was trying to win her 24th Grand Slam title in singles. Naomi Osaka, woman. Oh, of Japanese and Haitian descent he was trying to win his first US Arena lost the first set 6-2 and suddenly he could almost have gone up by one but then of course he went, he was up 3-2, then he was three three and fell by three and then the referee gave Osaka a game because Serena kept harassing him, which triggered everything. Everything in the US Open. Osaka won in two sets, but no one talks about her. There's still something about Serena.

Now Serena says she was defending. her rights as a person and as a woman, but people were divided over whether she deserved the punishment. This is what tennis great Billie Jean King wrote in the Washington Post quote. Did Ramos try? Did Ramos treat Williams differently than male players have been treated? I think he Are women treated differently in most areas of life? This is especially true for women of color. Ultimately, a woman was penalized for defending herself. A woman faced sexism and the match continued. Another great tennis, there are no great Latinas here in Nevada. Loba wrote This in the New York Times quote, Serena is partly right: there is a huge double standard for women when it comes to how bad behavior is punished and not just in tennis, but also in her protest against a referee during the US Open final on Saturday.

She was also partly wrong. I don't think it's a good idea to apply the standard of if men can get away with it, women should be able to, since the controversy lasted all day. CBS Sports' Mary Carillo, also a tennis commentator, had this to say. on MSNBC this morning there's a very, very respected chair umpire, Stephanie, she's been doing it for decades, she's been doing great matches for decades, this isn't Andy Griffith and Mayberry letting you know that Otis, the town drunk, came in and he got out of prison, so this is not who that guy is.

Serena should have known that she looked her best and is often at her best. I respect and admire Serena beyond measure, she is so powerful, she is an important voice, she is a fierce competitor, but at her worst. her because she was in tonight she acts like a bully now on ESPN First Take Steven Naismith also chimed in Serena Williams is the goat. I'm on record saying last week that if she weren't a woman, if she were a man, she would be recognized as groat as a goat and as a

black

man, I am incredibly proud of her accomplishments and how she and her sisters have conducted themselves. and the level of adversity they have had to face in the world of tennis. and beyond, they are extraordinary role models, but as we talked about this specific incident in question, Serena Williams was wrong, someone has to say it, so I will, the reality is that this referee with Serena Williams brought up the gender issue and sexism to the argument. where she lost Vanessa DeLuca, the former editor-in-chief of Essence magazine wrote an article in The Washington Post.

I want to chat with her right now, but that's how you agree, okay Vanessa, so you force yourself to argue that what Serena experienced on The Sabbath is what black women deal with all the time, explain that. What I was really saying is that every time a black woman decides to speak out and stand up for her integrity, she's automatically seen as a threat, she's automatically seen as something that she's an angry black woman that she's being overly emotional and I don't think that That was the situation that was happening with Serena and what was the case.

I mean, do you think she reacted emotionally? Do you think she was outside the limits she should have had? I fixed it later because at the time she was in a match, the coach then admitted that what she did was wrong: she hit the racket, which is also known in tennis is going to be a point, so she knows that you are already two down. points, you get one more violation, you lose a game. I think her response was a very human reaction, especially for black women when you're constantly told that if you stand up for yourself, you stand up for your integrity and that's what it really is. it's about someone saying or trying to imply that you would cheat and do anything to win that you are looking for an unfair advantage that is not the case here that was not the case here she was not looking at her coach and even you You know, but he still had the right, he said what he had to say, but that's in this case, he never said that you cheated, what he said, was that your coach was giving a signal, that's against the rules, She said, I don't.

She doesn't cheat, it doesn't matter according to the rules, it doesn't matter if she doesn't see it, if the coaches saw her giving instructions, giving instructions that go against the rules, even if in return she never did it right, but even when it was Beyond that, on the second violation, she was angry about the first violation, on the third, she was too angry about the first one, so on a court all the tennis players say that she followed the rules, he was in your right and here it is my, it's nice. luckily he was in her right and she should have handled the situation better, what do you say sir? part of what you were saying Berlin, but what I'm trying to say and what I think people are missing is that now it's being characterized with the language, it's saying that she was, you know she was being a stalker, that it was an outburst, which was All this language surrounding this now makes it seem like his opinion was unwarranted.

She was trying to defend herself because her integrity was monitored. This is a woman who has won 23 Grand Slam singles titles. She clearly knows the rules of tennis. She clearly used most of the rules and regulations in this particular case, something was triggered and I think it's something that black women go through in everyday life, this feeling that if you speak up for yourself you will be penalized and that's what what happened. It's okay here, but that's just look, we appreciate it. Thank you so much. I want to bring my panel now, of course, still with us.

David Avis Jones From Wever we are joined by Republican strategist Rina Ciavarella and also the executive director of Eugene Creek, Rina, Eugene Craig's organization. I want to start with you and I want to get your perspective on this because again, when you look at what happened, but this is how it is, son, first of all let me say this here, it's unfortunate that we're not talking about Naomi Osaka, who had an incredible performance, Let's be very clear, she was outperforming Serena Williams' breaks. Well, I watched the whole game. She beat her 6-2 in the first set.

She could have lost 4-1. She defended herself two three too tired three three. she raised four threes, I mean, Sarina couldn't take anything, she threw threes at her, so Osaka really and even after winning the boos that took place at the award presentation, Serina tells the crowd not to boo anymore, for Please, so it's unfortunate. that this is overshadowing Osaka's first Grand Slam victory and what that means for the Japanese and the Haitians, okay, because people keep talking about her being Japanese, no, and she made it clear that she is Japanese and Haitian, but just her thoughts in terms of how these stories play out. what people had to say about Sarina, your thoughts, I think it's unfortunate how women of color are losing here, I'm just talking about the whole story, how it's talked about in society, how people perceive Sarena and her actions , how people are overshadowing the great wind. this young woman who idolized Serena, it's all really terrible, everything that leads to strong, competent women of color completely losing their history, losing their moments of glory and look, I mean, Roland, I have a soft spot for Sarina, she as a companion. mom, what she's been through, how she's articulated a lot of how she struggled with motherhood and in sports and she still seems to be so cool.

I think she is a truly great athlete, one of the best of our time. I mean, she is someone who rose above the ranks through hard work. I think she thought her character was being attacked and that was the genesis of all of that. I saw it, she kept a calm and somewhat cold tone, but I feel that where she was wrong, if she was wrong anywhere, she was in threatening. the referee what could be perceived as a threat by him. I think that's where she went completely wrong when she said you're not going to be on any court that she plays in the future and that's where I think that's probably where she really started the downhill.

There's pain, Jane Creek, yeah, I'm the grammar person, Raina, um, the thing is you know when you tell someone that hey, you know I'm going to fix a point for you because you know I perceived that you were misleading me, the thing is this. Jean the state lives for the factual state he did not perceive that she was cheating what he said was your Kochi your Kochi no no no no but his perception is not that what happened well I say it the referee said and I saw the whole deal, he said that you were being punished because your coach was giving instructions, the coach later admitted that's exactly what he was doing, so never the referee never said you were cheating on par, he said your coach was giving instructions, it goes against Rule.

They're robbing you, keep going while you're asleep, if she took that as him saying how are you stealing, I mean, his argument hurt our statements, our arguments were that you know, hey, I don't have to cheat, I'd rather lose and the thing is, you know my problem, I understand that the Rules are rules, but the point is one more: this issue of equal justice, this issue of hey, if they are going to navigate the forest, they have to make them fly happily in all areas, you know, I have seen the strength of than this in particular.

The referee has allowed men to get away with all kinds of infractions without being undocumented and now he says that is the strongest argument when what I am saying is that you know if you are going to apply the rulesthat the qilin clearly expresses for everything. Amos, uh, your thoughts because this is, but this is, first of all, it's crazy how this goes on and on and on and on, well, as a black woman, I'm getting angry just sitting here and I feel like I'm totally entitled. to be angry because as human beings we are allowed the full range of emotions, including anger, and if you want to make someone angry, the first thing you would do is impugn their character, let's put this in a broader context, no.

The all-round tennis player has been subjected to more drug tests than Sarina Wales. This organization has specifically and exclusively targeted her for years. No one else has faced the level of racism and sexism that she has faced since she was a child in this entire organization. and at the same time you have a Maria Sharapova who was just someone who committed drug violations, she was doping to try to compete with the spirit here, break it completely, but they've brought her back, they've brought her back. She comes back another time, yes, she has been suspended for 15 months.

She was supposed to be there for 15 months, but specific tournaments have decided to let her enter under the wild card rule, which is before her 15 month violation. They are breaking the rules. For some people even though she is a known cheater and having half of Serena here as someone who has fought all her time I feel almost purple. I have fought my whole life to be treated with respect and everyone knows that she is the best player, she is really the only reason a lot of people watch tennis. The amount of money that she has invested in this organization over the years has been incredible, so to have this man sit there and calculate his character and then the other half of the people sitting here, how did she impugn his character? ?

Because I'm telling you because she would agree with Eugene here, she was watching this while you say I'm a cheater, no, no, no, it's a thing, no, no, I did it. If you ask her a question, she sees it that way. Well, how did he impugn her character? If her coach was training, he was arrested. Yes, the referee handed out a violation and the coat and the coach admitted. coaches do it. I have seen other articles and the New York Times that have shown other tennis matches in which other coaches have shown themselves well and not all of them have had those types of points taken away correctly, so what I am saying is that you're not applying the rules consistently no no no definitely wasn't applying the rules consistently it's different from impugning character in her argument she said men have said different things they haven't been penalized like women have been, but here's that.

Not even the comment she made when I was going to do it right, she didn't do it right, so I'm saying they're not even implementing the rule consistently when it comes to coaches' hand signals. in the stands because she was penalized and Billie Jean King also said that we have to face her. Chris Evert also said the same thing. This is what to me, looking at this in terms of what happened, was the coach training, yeah, the second diffraction hit. at the racket point they took away the third party's discretion and gave him back this is what I thought the referee should have done Rena well the maximums should have done the whole pond should have said Mrs.

Williams you have two infractions in Against him, if he continues, he reprimands the referee and I give him a third, you're going to lose a game, he never did that now I've seen it in other sports. I've seen it first of all. this wasn't a first round contest, it was the US Open finals, well I've seen in the NBA that Michael Jordan, LeBron James or Kobe Bryant could be in game five, game six, game seven and The referee is going to relax, you already have a technical foul that you don't want. to be ejected, I have seen in baseball that they give him some leeway.

I just felt that in this case the referee should have had a little more skin and never said Miss Williams, you already have two violations if he continues. I'm going to give you back a third, that's where he went wrong. He has to take a look at the seriousness of the situation and say, "This is the US Open final. I should have discussed the seriousness of the situation and said, look." Emotions are high. This is a world class athlete. This is a woman who we know is strong and assertive. Look, it wasn't her duty either. I understand that deep feeling because she looks, my personality would remain in Serena's if I feel it.

I'm wrong. I will continue to let you know why I think you are wrong about me and I may say something like calling you a thief, which is not a person, which is what many men have done in the past. Detractors will say that he had no duty to stop Miss Williams, he simply let her continue and let her dig her own grave for her to call him a thief, which started out as a small thing, she felt her character would be attacked by being accused. having been trained in a high risk situation, it simply got out of control when he let her continue, but again he had no duty to stop her.

It would have been nice if she had done the same thing that most referees do. Men, when they are arguing, one point is to stop them right there and say, look, you are out of line, it will get worse for you if you don't stop, he just let her continue digging her own grave, but I liked her again. tone of voice I didn't think she didn't curse, it was fine if you ask me, but it's unfortunate how she handled it and it's been reported that she did it this way in the past and like that again on the first play.

What a bad judge too. I want to ask you, Eugene, haven't you seen this editorial cartoon? It's been going around Mark Night's late night cartoons on Twitter, so he posted my song on Today's The Herald-Sun on Serena Williams and it's. an image first listen to me go to my iPad so we see it now so it's an image of Serena Williams with these exaggerated lips this cartoon jumping up and down stops being on her racket and then in the referee tells Osaka which one is first everything she looks like a white woman because he has blonde hair he has blonde hair I don't know how he understands that she is black and then I don't like that and then he says: can you let her win?

From the referee this has even stirred up more controversy, people feel this is a throwback to racist cartoons and in fact the National Association of Black Journalists also issued a statement condemning this cartoon. I'm going to read that statement just once, in fact, let me move on. I'm going to stop in a second, so Eugene, have you seen this cartoon? What do you think about it? It's absolutely disgusting, it's absolutely racist. I mean, you know the over-the-top features. I mean the other young woman you know in the photo looks more like Maria Sharapova than one. Soccer is a disgusting mess and I mean, rightly so, she should explode over Davis, she is absolutely beyond normal and to think that in 2018 she still we have to deal with this is outrageous and this is just another example of the type of attack that Sarina has had to face throughout her entire career unlike almost anyone else on that circuit besides her sister and a few more that are coming now such Maybe they deal with it too, but since she is so good, let me be very frank here because she is so good that a lot of people hate her because she is so much better than anyone else and she is in that sin and she is unapologetic about loving who she is, Rina.

I want to read this Association of Black Journalists for you. I am a member of the board of directors of NABJ. go to my iPad please headline reads NABJ denounces Herald-Sun cartoonist Serena Williams the ratio and I'm bloated here racist caricature of Serena Williams in email Osaka by The Herald Sun's Mark Knight is disgusting on many levels the cartoon Not only does 9/10 exude racist sexist caricatures of both women, Williams' depiction is unnecessarily like editorial cartoon art, it is a visual dialogue on the issues of the day, but this cartoon grossly inaccurately depicts two women of color at the US Open, one of the great farm is a professional sport this was issued by the National Association of Black Journalists and the sports task force NABJ and Sarina Sarina now we have with this cartoon and now you have again you have different people Billie Jean King the ten is great who calls a double standard Martina Navratilova, who says that Serena, frankly, took it too far, I still find it interesting that here we are, 48 hours after this great match and again an incredible victory of Osaka that we are still discussing and how race and gender are related.

In this story, you know, that cartoon wasn't just racist. I mean, I can't believe that in 2018 there is still an illustration showing black people looking like monkeys and I mean, this is ridiculous. I'm so sick of these righteous people of color. We are being boxed and continue to be pigeonholed to look like something in particular. Syrena was not only racist but sexist, I mean just totally squaring up her appearance and making Osaka look like a tour and this is absolutely no place for this. and until people start talking about that being a bigger problem instead of Sarena defending herself on a court where, frankly, she earned the right to do so and I guess I just want to get back to the fact that I saw her do it in de in a respectful way, she wasn't out of control, she was just trying to make a point, but people still come back and they still put race in it, they still put gender in it, how are people going to start?

Other people like, look, that's just one world. class athlete and we want these good role models for our young people. I'm disgusted by that. I think there should be a serious reaction. I hope that as we continue to see this story being talked about in the mainstream. news cycle where we start talking about how we are portraying people of color, particularly black women, as angry and like I'm a monkey, I'm just disgusting, I'm so beside myself angry at this it makes me sick, oh, tight, one second, let me. Come back, we're going to talk about a white mayor in Louisiana saying that in my city we won't buy Nike equipment anymore because of honesty, but Colin Kaepernick, next in Roland Martin without filters, we need a revolution within our own minds, historian John Henry .

Clark, it's okay

folks

this week as the NFL returns. I didn't see any games. I told you that for a long time Colin Kapernick and Erie Reid are not in the NFL because there are bald white guys. I'm not going to watch any games at all, yeah, boy. Sorry, the people who played Nathan Peterman this weekend in Buffalo were shit. This is a guy last year who threw five interceptions in the first half before being benched. He was named starter. Buffalo sucked again this year. How the hell does he still have a job? Oh, Jimmy Garoppolo, this is the guy they signed to the second richest contract in the NFL, playing quarterback sucked for San Francisco, the team that told Colin Kaepernick you can't play for us now, but you were supposed to that Garoppolo was New England's miracle child.

The Patriots' bottom line is that the NFL is playing with Colin Kaepernick, so check this out, since Nike announced last week that he was going to be the face of the Just Do It campaign on the 30th anniversary, they released this major commercial and the people sighed. Donald Trump says, "Oh, Nike is wrong, like we really give a damn and they're supporting Colin Kaepernick, now the mayor of Kenner Louisiana, outside of New Orleans, has said enough is enough." Bend's posted this memo below under no circumstances will any Nike product or a product with the Nike logo be purchased for use or delivery at any City of Kenner recreational facility.

It didn't go very well, he's getting a lot of attention and he joins us right now as deputy nola opinions editor. .com General Jarvis DeBary, how are you? I'm fine, how are you today, very good, so the little mayor doesn't want any Nikes in his city. The first couple of people you don't know, Donna Brazile is from Kenner, so that's about right. to tell you, tell people exactly where Kenner is and what kind of city it is, it's not New Orleans. I know if you've ever flown into the New Orleans airport, you basically flew into Kenner, the airport is owned by New Orleans, but it's an outside of Kenner, so it's the westernmost stretch of Jefferson Parish just before you hit the swamps , it's basically where Kenner is, but no, it's New Orleans, but it's remarkably diverse for the metropolitan area and I think that's what attracted a lot of people.

At Kenner really upset by this look, we're not offended by Colin Kaepernick, so why is the mayor trying to ban clothing in all city recreational facilities? It's not something that seems to be accepted by people in Canada, Florida, and it's getting a lot. of rejection, this hasn't gone well, no, no, I mean, he's been heavily criticized on Twitter and he's practically become a laughingstock, you know, it's hard to figure out what his motivation for this is, you know, some people are speculating, You know? This is a kind of meatred that many politicians want to throw in preparation for the next campaign.

I'm not sure what his motivation is. He didn't even publish the memo. I mean, it was an internal memo he received. It leaked on Facebook on Sunday morning, so it seems to have been caught a little bit by surprise by the pushback because you know it was yesterday morning when all of this started circulating yesterday afternoon when no one posted a story about it and It was about 24 hours after that, he finally managed to make a statement and it's a pretty baffling statement. I don't know if you've read it, you've read it, you've seen the statement I made and you thought it was strange.

This whole thing you guys know you better get permission and before you buy something like that dude seriously yeah I need a booster club so it's not like downtown spending money it's people raising money for their kids' athletics, you know? You want to sponsor a team if you go to a company and say hello sir. The owner of the business, miss, can only sponsor my son. That kid, that team buys a Nike team, he's basically suggesting that they have no right to do it, so it's not just that he's Nike, but that he seems to be trying to put the brakes on. about private citizens and what they can buy and what they can use, which has really really upset people, are you literally surprised why the haters are losing their minds over this?

I told you, I really thought about being amazed because it's so common and it keeps happening over and over again, I mean, I think we can go back to 2008 in 2009 with the election of Obama, you know the things that people will say and do and express, you know with impunity it's becoming more and more common now and this is what it is It's not like the city of Kenner is going to bring Nike to its knees so you know what I mean it's like a Fortune company 100, so what are you doing except you're trying to give red meat to people who, you know, are looking for some conservative hero? and to be honest, this is not a political figure. it means that New Orleans and the greater New Orleans area have been famous for having politicians and even suburban politicians who stand out, household names that everyone knows who they are, they are controversial, they say that appear on the news, for better or worse, you know it's not one of This is the first time I've honestly heard someone talk about beings or actually someone talking about Kenner in a long time, so it's not really clear what his motivation where you are going with this.

Do you know one of the city councilors whose name escapes me at the moment, but he responded to the Facebook post as if this is not clear with the council, you know, I don't know anything about this, I don't approve of it, so I don't know, I mean, it just looks like one. one of those things where everyone tries to pick a side and everything, even if it's a futile and quixotic pursuit, like okay, javis, to be the right man, it's always a good chat with you, we appreciate it, many thank you, okay, thank you, thank you. our Avis panel Eugene and sand I'll start with you, Eugene, I'll tell you.

I'm really enjoying how Colin Kaepernick just drove white people crazy. I mean, there is an agreement III, yes. it wasn't hugely discussed, a little earlier today I was promoting the use of my no filter and this is what I told DL. I say it and this is what really bothers these whitewashers in America. What bothers them is that we no longer have to do what they do. they say and what bothers them is that people of color don't follow the directives in America, they have always set the standard of values ​​for what we should think, what we should say, America is now changing and people of color say no. , I'm I really don't give a damn what you think, yeah, I mean a structure that's been a place for the last 200-300 years, pretty good, it's been disrupted, you know, we have the wrong media distribution, we have media incorrect access, we have our own voices. ways to distribute our voices and you know, it's very interesting to see white mediocrity get angry over the murmuring of the wrong name Colin Kaepernick, don't you know?

They say it's about the flag and the anthem, but you guys take me two years in control, so why are you really mad? You know, but this disgust goes one step further, this mayor is out of line, almost on the interested coasts, what he is trying to do is illegal and you know, polling Nike, I think I know he issued the biggest troll of all the times. I said listen to free stuff for the whole city by Karen Reena, yeah look Roland, whatever this mayor is doing is ridiculous and just reinforces how much better civics education there is in this country.

Just the lack of uh, I guess the lack. Respect for the First Amendment continues to amaze me and people don't seem to understand it. Colin Kaepernick has the freedom to express himself how many times we have to say it, but the thing is, you're right, people of color are not on the same level as white people in this country and now that we have purchasing power, now that we have seemingly equal rights In the society we are in, it is a place where they want to paint this with their broad brush. They are not being patriotic, they are being disrespectful, they don't care about our military, we developed the freedom to express ourselves, if we take it away from one person, we endanger the rest of us and it seems to me that Donald Trump quotes her. -The quote-unquote Republican that he is and the quote-unquote Republicans who support him talked about freedom and that seems to be at the center of everything they are fighting for, which looks good in the United States and that is what will make America come back to be great like everyone. of us having freedom, they don't believe in it for people of color, especially black people and black athletes, so we just need better civics education in this country so we can just these ignorant people just sit back and realize that Your argument is valid. there is no water and he does what he wants and no he was right to hit your head, absolutely yes, but the problem is that I don't think this is based on ignorance, it is based on white privilege and the desire to keep it for the rest . last breath, okay these people aren't stupid, what they are is they are offended by what they perceive as a stuck up black man, okay, and they can't stand the fact that this is a talented black man who has the right to say what you want. they say and can't do anything about it, even when they're irritated by the racism boss sitting there in the Oval Office right now.

Very well then, Rena Eugene advised. I certainly appreciate it, thank you very much for joining us today. a break right now Mario Van Peebles is a new movie that comes out on Friday called armed. I had the opportunity to play a role in that film. Here is the trailer. Look at it and you respected my life for 18 years. You, my girlfriend. days there has been another mass shooting today I get a lot of heat when I say weapons, this type of thing seems to be happening more and more frequently, something happened to us on that raid boss, we were exposed to some type of chemical there. come on we're just going to fall into the dark hole of conspiracy theories, this move requires us to stay cold, cold praise, baby, we don't recognize the federal government, they'll recognize you, we all know that, so what is it?

We're just looking for some answers to You stopped your meds I did some research on people thanks for taking a ticking time bomb other people say Hey look this guy is a public hero. All I can tell you is that he kills the bad guys. I felt it was the right thing to do. They're messing with us. Second Amendment Boss I'm an American. I have the right to carry weapons of terror against anyone in this plan. You have to see that this guy Jason is trending and Mr. Hayson idiot those are my custom made suits according to him you are one of the good ones okay guys our hvcu giving day is miles college please put the graphic back please again miles College is our university, which we all support, please hold up the graphic.

Alright, friends, as always, we always talk about technology. There's always something new coming out, of course, this is a digital show. here and you've been hearing about cryptocurrencies and blockchain, you're probably wondering what the heck blockchain is.

There's a conference going on right now at Howard University called the black blockchain summit and people from all over the world are talking about what's happening with this technology and I wanted to explain to you because you've probably heard of it, We should be aware, so we're joined by Sinclair Skinner, he's the founder of bit Mauri, how's it going? Oh, awesome guys, I'm glad to have you here. So what is blockchain? Blockchain is this great technology that allows us to transfer value without going through banks without having to go to PayPal, so it was a new way, it's like digital information that allows us to transfer value.

Well, that's also what it is. I mean, how does it work? So I'm standing here. I have two iPads, I have an iPhone and we say that the value of the transfer is money or something like that, it's like dad, it's like you send him a photo. someone that is data but it is not encrypted so that people can duplicate or falsify it with Bitcoin blockchain technology. Now you have a way to take data and encrypt it where now there is only one person who owns that data and we can verify this, nothing else you can.

Don't copy it, so now we can transfer value anywhere in the world that's encrypted. Do you say how it is how we use it? What are the uses of blockchain? Well, they also answer you again. My question, what is the difference between blockchain and cryptocurrency Bitcoin, is it the same or is it different? There are more specific categories, so the Internet has mobile applications. They all fall into something that we actually use the Internet for. Well, this is a small category in the conference we are in. We'll be talking about how we can use it for social justice, securing the information that the police have on us, if you have a bad cop, how do we take that information and secure it, encrypt it so no one can tamper with it, so this is coming. ideas from this conference on how to apply this technology, so we have one more day, we have two conversations about environmental justice, which are about how we can decentralize how we use this technology to create educational systems where we can ensure reality. curriculum make sure students qualify by doing things we couldn't do before this technology someone says make sure I mean that's how it is so let's say, let's say you and I don't communicate and then you want to send me something, okay?

Let's use the example of him, you know we've discovered the background of this particular police officer involved in the shooting, okay, so how do we look at how he's giving me the information? How does it work? Awesome, so blockchain is literally blocks of data connected to each other. date stamped and secured so that to change the first information when we get to the Vince style block we get to this first when you have to undo all this information, you will have people processing this information in a decentralized way, what is that like? Since I have it on my computer, okay?

So I want to send it to you. What am I doing? How do I send it to you? So that you have two pieces of information, you have a public address and a private address. The public address is like a bank account. You give it to me. In fact, I can send you money, but I can't accept money from your bank account. So you have a private key, a private account number that is actually like a PIN number for a bank so they can see my value if you give me your Bitcoin or your crypto address.

I can send you cryptocurrency to that address, only you, although you can unlock its value or manipulate its value once it is at your address, what is your private key? That's how it works, there are two pieces of encrypted information, one that you can share with everyone, that I can't get out, and one is the one that actually allows you to use your PIN number to access the money that's inside, okay, and when you say that can be used for social justice. What do I mean? I get money because right now, if I want to send some money to my niece through PayPal, okay, she can give me her email address.

I put it in it. It is under a family and friends. She is not charged anything upfront and then. boom, I said 100 dollars, she has a hundred dollars, okay, that's how it works, that's how it works, but now you no longer need a third party, you no longer need a visa, you no longer need Microsoft to be in charge. you don't need Guber in charge of it, you don't need a central because it's actually a network where we all work together, okay, so we are the ones who can actually transfer transactions on this platform and whilelet's share this information is our primary, our public keys, we can transfer it without Microsoft saying no, you can, as you just saw Bank of America, say hey, I think you're not a citizen, we'll freeze your account if we were using blockchain technology. they can't arbitrarily freeze your account you have the freedom to control your own information your own value okay so here's a deal we're going to have more of these conversations because I'm seeing some of your comments right now. on FaceTime and periscope and you all are telling me right now that I don't know what the hell you're talking about and so on, but again because I want to say we need to be aware because these conversations are happening all over the country and I think people are still trying to hug each other and, well, what does this really mean, what does it look like?

So maybe what we'll do next time, we'll do it, we'll do a demo, we can just walk people through the show. or come tomorrow, we have one more day of conference, okay, great, I appreciate it, thank you very much, okay, friends, of course, as you know, you see the real Martin in the filter.
