I recently walked away and am putting my focus on my own business. We need to own our stuff! We need to have full range of our voices. Thank you for this segment.
True. He should reach out to Tyler, Oprah, Curtis ”50” Jackson, even include the likes of Dre, Jay Z and Diddy. Time to start doing our thing in a big way. Major ownership.
I'm having my son, my daughter and their friends from grad school listen to this so that they can get some ideas about how to OWN their own and produce their own work instead of waiting for somebody to give them an opportunity to show what they can do. Thank you, Roland, for your knowledge and courage to speak truth to power. That's not an easy thing to do.
"I'm having my son, my daughter and their friends from grad school listen to this so that they can get some ideas about how to OWN their own and produce their own work instead of waiting for somebody to give them an opportunity to show what they can do.

Yeah that's the shit y'all should have been doing immediately after the Civil War ended instead of trying to mooch freebies from Whitey.
Well, since I wasn't around during the Civil War, maybe by saying 'ya'll', you really mean what yo' folks should have been doing instead of moochin' freebies. If that's the case, the next step for you is maybe to understand that, given what our ancestors had to work with, whatever you think they were or were not doing, they WERE doing the best they knew how. Or maybe you're white.
The Nation of Islam if not attacked and demonized by the albinos in ameriKZkKa and euro nations were would still be the best example of Black ownership.
Brotha Roland you dropped the mic on this! Exactly what we need to Dominate and understand real power! We are the Trendsetters of Everything to the world. I teach our 13 years old son about being a owner investor. Great lesson
As Syrian child , Wesley Snipes as Blade was my absolute childhood Hero ,me and my brother was always raving about his performance and then after 25 years later to witness this incredible actors gone through because of his color is beyond sad , god be my witness that I am not patronize anyone , but to get educated .
to get educated and I live in eruope now for a while and the way they mostly treat POC so inhumanly , and the African folks specifically , the core of this white content is from the blood and wealth of African continent , Racism is universal and rather hear it from someone like mr Martin . @@shyvixx1
Obviously a smaller audience. Many white people are slightly racist and aren't that interested in our stories. And before you say it has nothing to do with racism, let me ask you - do black people watch white people's movies? I did. I watched them all! Never thought anything of it. Now I do.
This Brotha is a straight Genius!! People can say what they want to and disagree with Roland from time to time but this man is giving us the REAL!! He believes in Black enterprise , prosperity, abundance and success!! No Question!!
@@m.norrie3202 facts. Very few will. Too many want to be islands instead of making a big strong country. Furthermore lots of us dont want to foot the bill to create.

He put his own money up. Me too. I own 1000 percent of my company! Debt free company at that. Owe no 1...
Sir….you are simply genius and phenomenal. I’m sure you know and/or have all of our famous and beloved black folks on speed dial.

@@clairegazzillo6775he’s been a REAL journalist with his OWN show for YEARS. He doesn't operate in massive debt. Being on a “white-owned” network doesn't determine if you are a “real” journalist. It's like you completely missed the point of this post. 🤦🏾♂️
Yeah, I remember that, they were on point doing that. But, they were also ahead of their time on that, so was Robert Townsend; he had his own studio too back in the day.
This popped up in my feed while I was watching something else and I’m so glad it did! Thank you so much for this! I will share this excellent advice!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Roland is sharing real gems. He is correct. Black viewers lead to white wealth. It's long past time for Black consumers to become savvy and own our content, networks, and streaming services.
Black people have a bad habit of not supporting Black businesses. Or they only support Black businesses they deem as "Black" enough. There is no real support of a lot of Black owned businesses by Black people...across the board.
Roland is so darn smart good and I just love his show. I am a Latin from Texas, I feel you when you talk about your hometown and school. Me and my sister see your show almost everyday and discuss the same issues. God bless.
This was the most powerful breakdown I have ever heard on the subject!! Thank you Roland for staying in our face even when it seems like our people are not listening or do not recognize the power that we possess.
I am entertained listening to smart people. I have to have a heavy dose of Roland before stepping outside that door. This gentleman is always dropping knowledge. He puts the content out there, but it's up to us to listen to him and make this come to life and grow legs. Thank you, Roland, because you always bring the funk!!!
Our Kind of People, Rap Ish, and First Wives Club. We need to find ways to support and fun black media and talent. Thank you for discussing this Roland.
Regarding Michael Jai White's interview when he said action movies with black stars sell overseas ... I believe he also mentioned that Fred "The Hammer" Williamson told him the same thing about actions movies his own studio produced back in the 70s. Roland should do an interview with him.
Preach!!! 🗣️🙌🏽🗣️🙌🏽🗣️ I had my son & daughter (12 & 15) listening to this entire episode today on the way to school. They’ve already resigned to being entrepreneurs themselves and look forward to providing opportunities to their community in mass someday soon, however this episode highlights even more so the reasons why they CAN be successful in the entertainment industry & STEAM field as black entrepreneurs. Love it!! Xx ♥️
Thank you Roland for ONCE AGAIN informing and encouraging us to OWN our content!! I'm here to support! I just downloaded Mansa, Zeus and Fanbase. Take back your power. LET'S GO!!!!
Mr. Roland ❤, You have been consistently good for anyone's network from CNN s to your very own... This segment here...!!! is ... in my opinion ... the greatest work any human in this forum has EVER done. You have become historic, legendary, idolistic. With this one segment.

Several years ago I received a email from a independent black filmmaker's company asking for support in addressing Hollywood studio heads not giving Black people " a seat at the table." My response was and is now( quote), "Are you effing kidding me? Stop asking for a seat at a table that doesn't want you...build your own table, buy your own food, prepare and serve it to those who want to sit with you. It might be a smaller table but at least it's yours ( metaphorically speaking). There's too many of you in Hollywood not to partner up. Get it together black holly." ( unquote) I offer the same advice now. Years later while accepting an award Tyler Perry explained how and why he started his own studio..in part he said, " I built my own table"...it made me smile. Btw the independent black filmmaker is Ava Duvenay!!!! I'm proud of her continued success on her own terms. ✊🏾🙏🏾☝🏾
Wow! "The only person who could cancel me is God" - Roland Martin. I LOVE this! Spoken like a true warrior. Thank you, brother Roland, for imparting the wisdom of navigating these battlefields with unwavering courage and conviction. Your words inspire us to stand firm in our truth, knowing that no earthly force can silence our voice when guided by faith and righteousness.
Got her OWN. Oprah got her OWN. Remember that. She bought her own studio. We can as a people get our OWN. Learn the business game and get your certificate in it.
Roland keep hittin us in the head with the facts brotha. Brothas & Sistas, There is a reckoning happening. We have to ban together and own( black owned) and watch our own shows. We have to have vision. We need to watch and own our own programs. Its going to get worse. We have to ban together. Period! This is for the best! We need to own and exchange every damn thing we purchase. Its black history month ( you may or may not support it). I know we should be purchasing just from black owned buisnesses and no commercial buisnesses. Period!
This same rediric has been around for decades. Mya Angello tried in 80's to encourage us to buy from black designers. We choose to buy from a designer who openly admitted, his clothes weren't designed for us. She was livid. We still didn't hear her plea.
This was so powerful & I hope that the stars he addressed are listening. The reality is that not everyone wants to do the business side. It's not easy. Many get into the arts for the enjoyment of their craft. I do believe those blacks who love the business side can make a home for black creatives.
Endeavouring to not just be the show but to be the business as well. Ownership is the route to real power. Brilliant fundamental idea, brilliant analysis and brilliant delivery as usual. Keep up the great work that you are doing.
Wow amazing I used to just listen now and then because of your stands and today today as an upcoming artist and content creator I’ve been reading up a lot for the past two days and hearing you now I have my books and taking notes I thank you 🙏
I'm glad he's having this type of conversation on his news show because you won't see this type of conversation or other Independent News organizations.
Roland is telling everyone how to do this. This is going to be a blessing for us. We need ownership of our own stuff anyway.

# Awesome aPpRoAcH , May our Almighty continue to guide & bless U throughout uR futuristic endeavors AHhmen ... !
Roland, you are making perfect sense. Common sense is what you're making to me. It needs to be implemented ASAP!!!! 💚💚💚😊
100% agree on this! I've been a performer for years and am constantly doing a stellar job, whether it's "saving" the lead or being the draw. I recently walked away and am putting my focus on my own business. We need to own our stuff! We need to have full range of our voices. Thank you for this segment.
Mr. Martin, please have a meeting with these talented people. They need to hear you, my brother..🤗
@dianneclark9092
Indeed! I totally agree.
True. He should reach out to Tyler, Oprah, Curtis ”50” Jackson, even include the likes of Dre, Jay Z and Diddy.
Time to start doing our thing in a big way. Major ownership.
I'm having my son, my daughter and their friends from grad school listen to this so that they can get some ideas about how to OWN their own and produce their own work instead of waiting for somebody to give them an opportunity to show what they can do. Thank you, Roland, for your knowledge and courage to speak truth to power. That's not an easy thing to do.

Yeah that's the shit y'all should have been doing immediately after the Civil War ended instead of trying to mooch freebies from Whitey.
Well, since I wasn't around during the Civil War, maybe by saying 'ya'll', you really mean what yo' folks should have been doing instead of moochin' freebies. If that's the case, the next step for you is maybe to understand that, given what our ancestors had to work with, whatever you think they were or were not doing, they WERE doing the best they knew how. Or maybe you're white.
The Nation of Islam if not attacked and demonized by the albinos in ameriKZkKa and euro nations were would still be the best example of Black ownership.
@@ma-cx2hr_You just had to say something negative didn't ya? STFU_
I love this man! He is always trying to help us do better, be better, want better, and own our own stuff.
He's only helping you to stay on the Dem Ocrat Plan tation
Brotha Roland you dropped the mic on this! Exactly what we need to Dominate and understand real power! We are the Trendsetters of Everything to the world. I teach our 13 years old son about being a owner investor. Great lesson
This is one of the most important videos ever made. Thank you. People truly don’t understand they are conditioned to have a hand out and getting less.
As Syrian child , Wesley Snipes as Blade was my absolute childhood Hero ,me and my brother was always raving about his performance and then after 25 years later to witness this incredible actors gone through because of his color is beyond sad , god be my witness that I am not patronize anyone , but to get educated .
What happened to him because of his color ?
He was black balled by the industry @@Jimbo-dz6ws
What are you looking at a black channel? Just curious
to get educated and I live in eruope now for a while and the way they mostly treat POC so inhumanly , and the African folks specifically , the core of this white content is from the blood and wealth of African continent , Racism is universal and rather hear it from someone like mr Martin . @@shyvixx1
@@shyvixx1what kind of question is this??? 😂😂😂
God has truly BLESSED us with this young knowledgeable man, Roland Martin.
Roland dumb
They are not profitable please stop blacking everything. Stop acting victim
Yeah, SURE you’re right.
Obviously a smaller audience. Many white people are slightly racist and aren't that interested in our stories.
And before you say it has nothing to do with racism, let me ask you - do black people watch white people's movies?
I did. I watched them all! Never thought anything of it.
Now I do.
Amen
That's a great idea for the Black artists to do together, so we the fans can stop being disappointed that our shows are being canceled.
I had came up with an ideal years ago, I didn't act on it, but now I see where these companies are doing it.
Did you ever think the black TV shows today are terrible and nobody's watching them
@@clairegazzillo6775 nah, they truly cant put 2 and 2 together.
math was never their people's strong suit @@object1ion
they get mad at White people when these shows get canceled when they don't fuckin' watch these shows either lol.@@clairegazzillo6775
Dropped nothing but game and gems in this video 👏🏾👏🏾
I appreciate your information, experience and knowledge in this area and more.
This Brotha is a straight Genius!! People can say what they want to and disagree with Roland from time to time but this man is giving us the REAL!!
He believes in Black enterprise , prosperity, abundance and success!! No Question!!
ABSOLUTE FACTS.... STRAIGHT GOSPEL!
But it would be nice if all black people would come together with this same mind set.
@@m.norrie3202 facts. Very few will. Too many want to be islands instead of making a big strong country. Furthermore lots of us dont want to foot the bill to create. They want the rewards but not the investment. The saying is pay the cost to be the boss! Blacks want to leech and enjoy the benefits. Very few of us put that money where their mouth is. Roland is 1. He put his own money up. Me too. I own 1000 percent of my company! Debt free company at that. Owe no 1...
Real BullS!?$
Yo trolling game is phenomenal💯 God Bless You🙏🏾
Roland Martin dropping FREE GAME.
Factssss
Learning from the Master.
Didn’t this channel got paid out by a white company? Yeah he owns his own company but still reliant on white money.
Roland ain't dropping nothing but crying and whining
@@clairegazzillo6775 And you're as dumb as a screen door on a submarine. Step off, Captain Envious.
Sir….you are simply genius and phenomenal. I’m sure you know and/or have all of our famous and beloved black folks on speed dial. Can you get them all together and teach them as you are teaching us how to do this. This is for sure magnificent, priceless, innovative and forward thinking information that they could use.
Roland is telling the truth when you own you can't be canceled Lisa Raye Lisa Raye the lady Set It all do what you do and I know you will do it well and Roland Martin is giving it all love peace and soul❤❤❤
Thank ❤️ you, Roland. We really needed to hear this.
Roland has been speaking this truth consistently, the community thanks you for your voice.
True indeed, sometimes the show feels a little "conney" biased
When Roland Martin do these Master Classes and breakdowns its truly a work of art
Just too bad Roland Martin's is not a real news journalist on a real News Network just got some lean UA-cam channel
@@clairegazzillo6775he’s been a REAL journalist with his OWN show for YEARS. He doesn't operate in massive debt. Being on a “white-owned” network doesn't determine if you are a “real” journalist. It's like you completely missed the point of this post. 🤦🏾♂️
@@clairegazzillo6775 Troll.
@@bassman777he's definitely not a real journalist. Whether he was on the "white man's" network or not.
Master class? 😂😂😂 black people you are in trouble if you thinkbthis man does good for his community
Tim Reid form a studio with his wife Daphne Maxwell Reid and no one came to their rescue for support in order to survive to this very day
Amen 🙏
I’m so sorry they didn’t get the support they needed. It’s time for a new start. Let’s get at it.
Yeah, I remember that, they were on point doing that. But, they were also ahead of their time on that, so was Robert Townsend; he had his own studio too back in the day.
Try , try Try again! 👍🏾
This popped up in my feed while I was watching something else and I’m so glad it did! Thank you so much for this! I will share this excellent advice!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Mr. Martin, thank you for all that you do & speak!
Bro Roland…, this is sooooo good. Bro Roland, I’m an active & registered member of the NOI & brother this is POWERFUL. Teach Roland, teach brother!
Thank you Roland for sharing better ideas and planning in the world of showbiz.
Roland is sharing real gems. He is correct. Black viewers lead to white wealth. It's long past time for Black consumers to become savvy and own our content, networks, and streaming services.
Black people have a bad habit of not supporting Black businesses. Or they only support Black businesses they deem as "Black" enough. There is no real support of a lot of Black owned businesses by Black people...across the board.
💯%
Nobody cares what Roland Martin has to say he's not a real news journalist on a real News Network
💯. This is why I'm glad that Nollywod is 💯 Nigerian and not bowing down to anybody else to make content.
"Black viewers lead to white wealth"
You dramatically over-estimate your own importance.
You need Whites, Whites don't need you. don't get it twisted.
Preach Roland!!!!
Yesss let’s Go! Roland this was educational , motivating and inspiring.❤ Thank you
Thank You Roland I understand this much better, I hope these stars hear you and others! 😊
Roland is so darn smart good and I just love his show. I am a Latin from Texas, I feel you when you talk about your hometown and school. Me and my sister see your show almost everyday and discuss the same issues. God bless.
Awesome!!!!
Love to you me hermano!!! Mi encantos Latinos!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤. I'm moving to Texas!!!!!
This was the most powerful breakdown I have ever heard on the subject!! Thank you Roland for staying in our face even when it seems like our people are not listening or do not recognize the power that we possess.
This is the best podcast ever. Every Black American needs to hear this podcast. God! This is the beginning for us. Thank you God!!!!
For real it empowers me
I am entertained listening to smart people. I have to have a heavy dose of Roland before stepping outside that door. This gentleman is always dropping knowledge. He puts the content out there, but it's up to us to listen to him and make this come to life and grow legs. Thank you, Roland, because you always bring the funk!!!
He is on a different level of intelligence my man 💪
Thanks for the information
I appreciate you!
Thank You Roland. This is absolutely beautiful sharing...Blessings King! -LD
The answer is in plain sight for us black folk! What will it take for us to truly come together?
Plenty of Black men of character who will lead the charge. That's what it's going to take.
Indeed
It will never happen!!!! Unless they Attack Again! (The White Man)
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Armageddon or the reintroduction of segregation.
Our Kind of People, Rap Ish, and First Wives Club. We need to find ways to support and fun black media and talent. Thank you for discussing this Roland.
Our kind of people was so dam good I loved it
Teach Roland!!!!
Super insightful!! Thank you for what was indeed a masterclass on black economic power in the entertainment industry
Keep up the good work that you do the truth and information!
What took them so long? The Indie route is where we need to be. Ownership🎉 THIS is how we start Black History Month by MAKING history❤
You forgot...she was independent when she first started
Nobody wanna grind no more
Roland giving a MASTER CLASS ON OWNERSHIP
Regarding Michael Jai White's interview when he said action movies with black stars sell overseas ... I believe he also mentioned that Fred "The Hammer" Williamson told him the same thing about actions movies his own studio produced back in the 70s. Roland should do an interview with him.
This is so powerful! Thank you for sharing your wisdom!!
"We are the show!".
"We need to lock down the business." 🔐
This was a masterful presentation. Point made 🎯 💯+ I hope this goes viral.
Thank you Roland for keeping us informed.
Thank you Roland Martin. You are always investing in the betterment of US!
Thank you Roland for calling them out.
Nobody cares who Roland Martin calls out he's not a real news journalist on a real News Network just some clown on a UA-cam channel

Roland, you are spot on!! TEACH
What an AMAZING lesson Roland, THANK YOU!!
Preach!!! 🗣️🙌🏽🗣️🙌🏽🗣️
I had my son & daughter (12 & 15) listening to this entire episode today on the way to school.
They’ve already resigned to being entrepreneurs themselves and look forward to providing opportunities to their community in mass someday soon, however this episode highlights even more so the reasons why they CAN be successful in the entertainment industry & STEAM field as black entrepreneurs. Love it!! Xx ♥️
Thank you Roland for ONCE AGAIN informing and encouraging us to OWN our content!! I'm here to support! I just downloaded Mansa, Zeus and Fanbase. Take back your power. LET'S GO!!!!
Thank you, Mr. Roland Martin for the thorough explanation on The Show & The Business sides of Show Business...👍🏽✌️👌🏿
Yes. The whole diaspora should join and be on the same page. We all have great content and making it easier to support us would be phenomenal ❣️
Mr. Roland ❤,
You have been consistently good for anyone's network from CNN s to your very own... This segment here...!!!
is ... in my opinion ... the greatest work any human in this forum has EVER done.
You have become historic, legendary, idolistic. With this one segment. I now give you my full and complete black love and respect
This segment was important
This was Grand.
Thank you Sir... Thank you for still loving us.
Your commitment to us as a people is stellar preformence.

Several years ago I received a email from a independent black filmmaker's company asking for support in addressing Hollywood studio heads not giving Black people " a seat at the table." My response was and is now( quote), "Are you effing kidding me? Stop asking for a seat at a table that doesn't want you...build your own table, buy your own food, prepare and serve it to those who want to sit with you. It might be a smaller table but at least it's yours ( metaphorically speaking). There's too many of you in Hollywood not to partner up. Get it together black holly." ( unquote) I offer the same advice now. Years later while accepting an award Tyler Perry explained how and why he started his own studio..in part he said, " I built my own table"...it made me smile. Btw the independent black filmmaker is Ava Duvenay!!!! I'm proud of her continued success on her own terms. ✊🏾🙏🏾☝🏾
Thank You Roland, AGAIN, for giving us the information needed for US to take advantage of Life changing opportunities 🙏🏾 God Bless You King
Lovecraft Country is still one of the best shows I’ve ever watched and it was cancelled after 1 season 😢
Yes, I agree. I truly enjoyed that show 👏🏿👍🏿
And the tv show called underground
Oh Mr Martin. You are so good to listen to , you inspire me and others to do things we would never imagine.
Wow! "The only person who could cancel me is God" - Roland Martin. I LOVE this!
Spoken like a true warrior. Thank you, brother Roland, for imparting the wisdom of navigating these battlefields with unwavering courage and conviction. Your words inspire us to stand firm in our truth, knowing that no earthly force can silence our voice when guided by faith and righteousness.
Protect this man at all cost
Thank you Mr. Roland..I'll sing my song again, 🎼Mama may have, Papa may have, but GOD bless the child that's got her/his OWN, that's got his/her OWN.🎶
Got her OWN. Oprah got her OWN. Remember that. She bought her own studio. We can as a people get our OWN. Learn the business game and get your certificate in it.
Ambitions ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ was cancelled after 1 season 😟
YES YES YES!! Thank you Uncle Roland for dropping these pearls of wisdom.
Thank you for sharing I have been sharing your information.
Thank you Mr Martin, cause your teaching me a whole lot sir 😮😅, thank you 💓 🤑!! 🙏😊
Roland keep hittin us in the head with the facts brotha.
Brothas & Sistas,
There is a reckoning happening. We have to ban together and own( black owned) and watch our own shows. We have to have vision. We need to watch and own our own programs. Its going to get worse. We have to ban together. Period! This is for the best! We need to own and exchange every damn thing we purchase. Its black history month ( you may or may not support it). I know we should be purchasing just from black owned buisnesses and no commercial buisnesses. Period!
This same rediric has been around for decades. Mya Angello tried in 80's to encourage us to buy from black designers. We choose to buy from a designer who openly admitted, his clothes weren't designed for us. She was livid. We still didn't hear her plea.
@@heb246 let's focus! Wishing you well. Also, what your saying is not new.
God gave you the thought, Martin you need to bring all the parties together❤️💯
This was so powerful & I hope that the stars he addressed are listening. The reality is that not everyone wants to do the business side. It's not easy. Many get into the arts for the enjoyment of their craft. I do believe those blacks who love the business side can make a home for black creatives.
Excellent!!!!!!! Thank you for putting things into perspective. Much appreciated Sir.
Endeavouring to not just be the show but to be the business as well. Ownership is the route to real power. Brilliant fundamental idea, brilliant analysis and brilliant delivery as usual. Keep up the great work that you are doing.
Roland, thanks for your insight into the entertainment industry.
It's just too bad Roland Martin's not a real news journalist on a real News Network who's pretending to be one on UA-cam
1:57 - 2:05 was all I needed to hear. Plan your Work and Work your Plan People ✊🏾
Thank you for this message Roland. Ownership is key. It’s waaaaay harder tho but it’s worth it
Thank you very much...what an education .... keep up the good work .... we need this level of education.
Excellent! ❤
Versatile across numerous sectors beyond show business, sparking countless ideas. Thank you so much!
My word Mr Martin! Shake My Head❤.
Thank you Mr. Martin for opening up my eyes.❤
Awesome teaching session for all people of all professions!!
EXCELLENT commentary!
Wow amazing I used to just listen now and then because of your stands and today today as an upcoming artist and content creator I’ve been reading up a lot for the past two days and hearing you now I have my books and taking notes I thank you 🙏
So heavy Roland Martin. I love that.
I'm glad he's having this type of conversation on his news show because you won't see this type of conversation or other Independent News organizations.
Thanks for bringing Mansa to my attention 💪🏾 Always learn something new when I watch your show sir👍🏾
Wow, this is great information thanks Roland!❤❤❤❤
Love you, Roland Martin
Excellent…..thank you for the eye opener. I pray that those mentioned were listening as well as others. We can absolutely stand stronger together.
