Yeah. That’s ground up. Getting experience and stepping out.Not really. He went independent when he lost his major tv gig.
He built his base from his mainstream jobs he had before.

She focuses more on politics than everyone else who doesn’t understand how to pass laws. What throws me is conflating ADOS as an organization and not an identity.What is she expected to do that she is not doing?
IMO, she has moved the needle in advocacy and continue to raise awareness for the topic of redress to a larger audience. That audience is then influenced politically and socially to address redress in their communities and with their representatives.
That is her purpose. That's what I thought it was.
Y'all are against the ideology wholesale for reasons that aren't even based in realityWe already covered the fact that there are Pan Africanist orgs that apply specificity for reparations.
Name one Pan Africanist you'd feel comfortable seeing in a leadership position.
That's not ground up.Yeah. That’s ground up. Getting experience and stepping out.

He’s always worked at black media even when he was at CNN. He worked there at the same time. That’s how he bounced back so fastThat's not ground up.
And getting fired is not stepping out.![]()
You mean TV One, the show that went off the air?He’s always worked at black media even when he was at CNN. He worked there at the same time. That’s how he bounced back so fast
Does NCOBRA adhere? If not, how is what they're describing any different from what ADOS calls a "Black Agenda"?I'm comfortable with any if they adhere to the specificity of the justice claim here. I doubt Yvette would have a problem either if that was the case with the Pan Africanists involved with reparations here.
Yeah. Then he started his network.You mean TV One, the show that went off the air?
Please stop, you're not doing Roland any favours right now.
My point is he's not from the ground up.He's top down.Yeah. Then he started his network.
whats your point.
This is wrong.My point is he's not from the ground up.He's top down.
His audience was from major tv and when he lost his position(s), he took that with him.
It's not the same as Umar.
Come on now.
Does NCOBRA adhere? If not, how is what they're describing any different from what ADOS calls a "Black Agenda"?
You're wrong.This is wrong.
Roland was doing black media like Tom Joyner etc WAY before CNN came.
I've known about Roland for YEARS before CNN.
Guys like you are late.
This is untrue.You're wrong.
When he was with a major network, he said Black independent media was irrelevant.
Then he lost his jobs and had no choice to become independent like them.
The only difference is the real independent have never had backing from a major network or political party.
And you knowing Roland for years is also irrelevant. The point is he was given a job, not a grassroots independent.
Come on now.
You're slow.This is untrue.
He was working at CNN at the same time as he was at TV One.
He was using content CNN wouldn't take and taking it to TV One all the time and he was completely independent.
This is like saying Robert Smith or Bob Johnson isn't self made. Are you fukking stupid?
