11:16Now PlayingBlack leaders are demanding answers after Bernie Sanders stayed largely silent while Black voting rights and political power across the South came under direct attack.
Roland Martin amplified a blistering public callout from Congressional Black Caucus Executive Director Vince Evans questioning Bernie Sanders’ silence as Black political power faces escalating attacks across the South. Tennessee State Rep. Justin Jones described the moment as a “real Selma moment,” warning that racial gerrymandering, felony disenfranchisement, and voter suppression are being used intentionally to weaken Black political representation. The discussion challenged Democrats and progressive allies who demand Black voter turnout but often fail to mobilize with the same urgency when Black voting rights come under attack. Jones warned that the fight against what he called a “new Confederacy” requires aggressive organizing, confrontation, and direct resistance.
