Google want to see the companies that have removed their DEI Initiatives etc and do not support them. OUR BLACK $$$$$ ARE POWERFUL!!!! WE MUST SUPPORT BLACK BUSINESSES MEDIA COMPANIES RESTAURANTS ETC NOW MORE THAN EVER!!!!!!
If you think black dollars aren't powerful then research the Montgomery Bus Boycott. We must pull back. Hard as it may be .PULL BACK FROM THE OPPRESSION
The Foreign illegal immigrants is trying hard to take the Black Americans Business and White Americans Business from the help from the law Breaking Democrats lady's and Mans.
The problem that I have seen is that when discrimination happens, some of us do sue, but then at the same time after the legal stuff is settled we continue to do business with the same people that discriminated against us in the first place.
The bus boycott lasted 381 days, they were more poorer than we are now. We can do it!!. We just have to want to. I will be keeping my black money in my black pocket!!!.
Exactly! Montgomery’s population at that time was about 50,000 and because of more than 40,000 of Montgomery’s residents Black people and white allies, those buses lost $3k a day in revenue which is worth close to $35k today, that’s close to $13.5 mil in one year today. One historic event in One city. Just imagine what we can do to any one for those companies.
mcdonalds gets joked about being related to white people so they aint doing this because they are black owned but because likely they don't want to target that demographic. you know what should be sued is those aids medicine commercials that always have all black people almost. seriously, it urks me when i see that because africa has a high rate of aids and they assume african americans are alike somehow.
Black Americans have 1trillion dollar annual spending power. If white people collectively said no, Black people will absolutely need to pull a Black Wallstreet.
@@OGFrylockOr, what if white filed a discrimination lawsuit against black entertainment TV or black beauty pageants? That's discrimination against white people
We do not have to oblige these companies. We can fire these companies. And we can hire new ones. Make your own burger. And let’s support our own. God bless us all.
Byron only cares about himself and making money, as remember he went on media outlets talking about he is not just for black people when he purchase the assets of the black news network. Byron has a pattern: get discrimination against, rally support among black people and black owned media, gets a settlement or wins the lawsuit, does not spend any money toward black media or help out those groups or people that support him, and pops up again to repeat the same thing. To me it is one thing if he is trying to play the game like Booker T. Washington, but at the same time Booker T had a track record of reinvesting into the black population (either directly or indirectly).
This does not require any group to organize how blacks use their economic power. Just say it. When I heard about the elimination of DEI I contacted everyone I knew to stop shopping at those corporations. I also email the black newspapers in my city and state to remind them of the buying power of black Americans.
We need to organize Andy educate! This must be done in numbers…large numbers to make an impact! When we mobilize it must send a clear message your dollars are our dollars!!
We deeply value the insight you share about advertising revenue and the media landscape. Your expertise not only educates us but also empowers us to better understand and navigate this space-thank you for your invaluable contributions Roland !
$340 billion dollars spent on advertising and if black media companies got $34 billion of it we would be happy! They only want our 💰 but don't want to give us anything!
We need to choose a weekend this month (Dec.) to boycott or not purchase from both McDonald’s and Walmart. Walmart has cut all DEI activities as Roland already reported.
We need to pick one day a week, for the 52 weeks in a year and we Black people DO NOT spend any money with ANY business unless Black owned. The other six days strategically think about where we spend and who it's benefitting and what if any thing are the recipients of our dollars, report if the are supporting us and our agenda and welfare. This needs to be a national Black campaign. Do not fund your oppression. That what slavery did.
Roland, please don't get tired in well doing. You speak directly to the issues. Each one of your panel members compliment the subject. A major black news paper. You couldn't have shared an better idea. Also, all the Best, to Brian.
It goes beyond McDonald's...How bout those of you who complains about those who don't like "us,"skktop wearin those overpriced Italian/Foreign name brand clothing/footwear/handbags etc...None of these companies likes us either..That's why I Don't support...Timberland included...ACTIVELY BLACK is my clothing of choice...Black owned company with Quality clothing/sportswear,etc..
Anything that has the potential to benefit, uplift, and wake up black folks will not be funded/promoted. And if it happens it must be crushed. it's the code of WS...where's the black folks code?
McDonald's will have to pay. Byron Allen is extremely intelligent. He keeps winning all these huge lawsuits becazse companies that have gotten away for years they are shooting themselves in the foot. Byron is letting people know he is not one to play with.
These companies finally showing their true colors. They don't want to support the Black culture, but have no problem taking money out of Black hands or have not problem having Blacks work for essentially their slave wages, with no opportunity for career advancement.
The fact is boycotts are only successful if it’s organized. Someone with a large platform has to sacrifice and lead the effort.. Just telling people to watch their spending is not enough..
You’re right Roland. Don’t let them on unless they want to spend the advertising money. No free talks!! Which is also free advertising for them. Smh. The disrespect they have for black media. Love the show Roland!!!
Yoooo, why a minute after them mentioning McDonald’s marketing the McRib, the damn Christmas McRib commercial popped up. SMH. MCD making sure they take our dollars with that BS
I hate McDonald's. Never have liked the food! So glad we have Roland Martin's News Network! We need more to counteract slimy billionaires like Musk! Keep up the good work Roland!
McDonald's corporate office is in Chicago not a conservative area so this shows that democrats and republicans are the same when it comes to blk people. We need to stop separating democrats and republicans and think of them as the same we it relates to blk people.
Question: Exactly how much will he use to enhance the Black Community that he has used to escape poverty? I mean, I'm tired of being proud of Black Achievement only to see those who claim discrimination never brings their winnings back to the Black Community. Miss me with this celebration.
You better BELIEVE it!! They don't care about us! Periodt so we MUST support Black Businesses and QUICK!! New Day Roland keep doing u and bringing these IMPORTANT and POWERFUL conversations ❤❤You are Powerful Roland and ur VOICE is much needed You often have Great,Imformative,Smart guests well worth listening too❤
Well, good for Byron Allen, for pushing in through, and also for letting everyone know what is happening. So people who care can do what they can FOR black folks to feel more power & more beautiful too
@@ct5943 If he wins this lawsuit, this only helps himself. Does online black media folk get a piece, seems it where most get their news from these days. Regardless of Martins experience/resume he is a youtuber. My knowledge of this is mid at best, so its mostly speculation. Maybe you can enlighten me
Thank you Mr. Allen for putting in the lawsuit. Hope you win this case. 😊😊
Hey Roland. Thanks for telling us what is going on with your experience with these advertisers. Priceless. 💚
Google want to see the companies that have removed their DEI Initiatives etc and do not support them. OUR BLACK $$$$$ ARE POWERFUL!!!! WE MUST SUPPORT BLACK BUSINESSES MEDIA COMPANIES RESTAURANTS ETC NOW MORE THAN EVER!!!!!!

Dr. King always spoke about the buying power of black Americans. Today black buying power is at 1.6 trillion dollars.
I agree. Support them who support us.
I miss Emerge
The Foreign illegal immigrants is trying hard to take the Black Americans Business and White Americans Business from the help from the law Breaking Democrats lady's and Mans.
The solution is for Black people to stop spending their money with these companies. It has to be organized and selective.
Exactly! Groups not individuals.
And it has to be ongoing, no more stopping after a couple of days. Boycott the whole 4 years, unless change has been made. We suffer, they suffer!!💯✊🏽
@@MegaSlimgoody1 Agreed. We must organize.

Yes...
STOP EATING AT MCDONALD’s!! Stop 🛑
Food is no good anyway
Stop eating at all of them……what will hit them is holding them to account, legal action
stop begging 'them folks" for their money like slaves and get it from your own
BIacks love junk food.
mcdonalds gets joked about being related to white people so they aint doing this because they are black owned but because likely they don't want to target that demographic.
you know what should be sued is those aids medicine commercials that always have all black people almost.
seriously, it urks me when i see that because africa has a high rate of aids and they assume african americans are alike somehow.
Punish Racism
What if white people collectively just said "no" what could you really do?
then blacks would say that they are being targeted; blacks are the biggest racist; they created the word
Black Americans have 1trillion dollar annual spending power. If white people collectively said no, Black people will absolutely need to pull a Black Wallstreet.
@@OGFrylockOr, what if white filed a discrimination lawsuit against black entertainment TV or black beauty pageants? That's discrimination against white people
@@OGFrylockthey have said no since the beginning. Hence, the statement.
Brother Roland, we may have to go old school on them with a MAJOR BOYCOTT! Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would approve! Strength 💪🏽in numbers!! 😉

😂 💯 that part

then why is roland and Byron begging them for their money

We do not have to oblige these companies. We can fire these companies. And we can hire new ones. Make your own burger. And let’s support our own.

I’m already boycotting Walmarts
I started boycotting WalMart 1nce I stopped working Sam's Club in '97...I saw the Real Behind da scenes operations...F em All...
Me too and the companies that donated to 2025. McDonald is on that list. Looks like maybe 50 to 60 companies that donated.
Been boycotting Walmart for 7 years now. I only go in Walmart because my bank has branches inside some. I go to Costco, never a Sam’s Club.
It has been difficult for me to remember but I walk right out, turn my car around, leave the cash register too once it comes to mind
I just started since the news of rolling back DEI
This does not require any group to organize how blacks use their economic power. Just say it. When I heard about the elimination of DEI I contacted everyone I knew to stop shopping at those corporations. I also email the black newspapers in my city and state to remind them of the buying power of black Americans.
We need to Get on Code now! Our people back in the Day were Soldiers! I am already doing it I will not be spending my money at Home Depot Or Walmart!
We need to organize Andy educate! This must be done in numbers…large numbers to make an impact! When we mobilize it must send a clear message your dollars are our dollars!!
Thank you

It's crazy that McDonald's of all companies, would treat Black folk like this. Need to limit or turn off altogether, going to McDonald's!!
Yeah I'm sure they're going to miss you at 3 dollars once a month
I have been stopped supporting McDonalds. The food is unhealthy and why support who does not embrace us.
@simplesimple6014 Seriously, wasn't the point. But 3 dollars is 3 dollars less than what they would have had.
@@simplesimple60143× how many other will add up
@simplesimple6014 I have a family of 6. All of a sudden, $3 just became $21. See how it works?
I have a very important question can we Sue America for discrimination and whatever else we can sue for.
I been thinking about that question for about 5 years
Yes. We must take our case to The United Nations.
Sue them for employment
I am not giving my black dollars to any establishment that doesn't give a shit about my interests.
We need to choose a weekend this month (Dec.) to boycott or not purchase from both McDonald’s and Walmart. Walmart has cut all DEI activities as Roland already reported.
I second that MOTION! 👍👍
You can start now
We need to pick one day a week, for the 52 weeks in a year and we Black people DO NOT spend any money with ANY business unless Black owned. The other six days strategically think about where we spend and who it's benefitting and what if any thing are the recipients of our dollars, report if the are supporting us and our agenda and welfare. This needs to be a national Black campaign. Do not fund your oppression. That what slavery did.
I'm boycotting them forever. A couple of months will do nothing.
Can WE as a COMMUNITY call 📞, text, write the McDonald's Corporation and voice our opinion about this issue.
I hope Byron Allen win!
Why? That money is going right back to white mama and white daddy.
It's time for 🖤 folks to start supporting our own community. We must care and love ourselves as much as other cultures towards their own.
Roland, please don't get tired in well doing. You speak directly to the issues. Each one of your panel members compliment the subject. A major black news paper. You couldn't have shared an better idea. Also, all the Best, to Brian.

And stop watching the nba........they don't have love for us
No Walmart and No McDonalds ... spend your money elsewhere
Absolutely! F the companies that supported a traitor and fascism!!

Thanks!

G'Evening, Mr.Martin..... thx for doing "due dilligence " to enlightening us ALL! I'm binging on the catchup w/previous shows !
Lets start a BUY BLACK CAMAIGGN! As you know our community has the economic power to change the equation that you are talking about.
We need to invest in Africa! Let’s build up the continent. We don’t need these companies; they need us!
I wasn't crazy about Byron Allen, but i changed my mind. I gotta respect what he's been doing.
Give me THE WHOLE MEAL! We must demand better . period.
I'm done with MSNBC you are correct
Roland is speaking the ABSOLUTE TRUTH at the end here. YT is ALREADY CENSORING my videos. Ridiculous.
Very interesting. I quit eating at McDonalds several years ago.
Anything that has the potential to benefit, uplift, and wake up black folks will not be funded/promoted. And if it happens it must be crushed. it's the code of WS...where's the black folks code?
Stuck in the integration mentality. 🥱
I worked at an all white McDonald's and was discriminated against.
The real question is….is the customer service there better than an all black McDonalds?
That’s it right there… We are having the wrong conversations! In every room where our community is involved. We need that mental shift! ❤
Exactly Roland and panel
McDonald's will have to pay. Byron Allen is extremely intelligent. He keeps winning all these huge lawsuits becazse companies that have gotten away for years they are shooting themselves in the foot. Byron is letting people know he is not one to play with.
Byron staying suing 😂😂
He should. He's got the finances and lawyers for it
I'm not familiar but good comment 😂
It is almost 2025 and there is no excuse for racism.
These companies finally showing their true colors. They don't want to support the Black culture, but have no problem taking money out of Black hands or have not problem having Blacks work for essentially their slave wages, with no opportunity for career advancement.
I don't like how Macdonalds puts black people in their ads all the time trying to lure them into eating that garbagy unhealthy food.
The fact is boycotts are only successful if it’s organized. Someone with a large platform has to sacrifice and lead the effort..
