    Roland getting fired up is what I listen for. Thank you for the history lessons. Thank you for your experience. Thank you for see the urgency. And the cussing doesn’t bother me. It’s time to get moving and stop being babies. Get ready to make sacrifices and fight or be pulled back into slavery.

    Power to the Black People.

  • Much Needed Conversations.

    I love this show because of the guests Roland has on. I no longer listen to “mainstream” media because they do not have these guests on. These are the people I want to hear from. And they truly are speaking unfiltered truth. But can y’all PLEASE get the editing together? It makes no sense that commercials start when someone is speaking mid sentence or even mid word. If it were not for the editing issues, this would be my absolute favorite show.
