5.23.2022 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Final Farewells Buffalo Shooting Victims, LA Maternal Death Rates, Macy's Targets D9 Sororities

Buffalo, New York, is still mourning the victims of the supermarket massacre. This week, more funerals are scheduled as the town tries to put the pieces back together.

Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana has put his big foot in his mouth. He said his state's high maternal death rates are more standard if you don't count black women.

The Tennessee college student who was assaulted by a cop who lied about her arrest will join us with her attorney to update us on the case.

In Florida, a black woman gets brutally attacked by a white man at a gas station. It took about five days for the violent man to get arrested. You will not believe what charges he's facing, and Jacksonville activists are demanding more from the state's attorney.

In our Where's Our Money Segment, we will discuss Macy's new collection targeting black sororities. My question is, are any of the Divine 9 getting any proceeds from those sales?

Plus, more about Ginny Thomas and her possible role in the Jan. 6th insurrection. There are emails of her asking Arizona lawmakers to overturn Joe Biden's popular vote.

And in tonight's Fit, Live, Win, we're talking about black men and mental health. We'll meet a husband and wife team who are doing their best to let black men know it's ok to ask for help.
