In this episode of Disturbing the Peace, Stephen Davis sits in for John Amanchukwu to host two of the most fearless Black conservative voices in America today.
First, Robin [verify spelling] — pastor, bestselling author of How the Democrats Won the Blacks, and one of the most unapologetic Black conservative commentators in this country who wants all the smoke. Robin walks through the now-viral situation with veteran Black media figure Roland Martin — how a simple reaction video to a Roland Martin / King Randall interaction led to Roland Martin publicly calling Robin out in his own comment section, then disappearing when Robin accepted the debate challenge in his DMs.
Then Robin takes Stephen — and the audience — through the substantive thesis of his book. The Democratic Party was founded in 1828 as a coalition explicitly built to preserve slavery. They fought the Civil War to preserve slavery. They opposed the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. They destroyed Black Wall Street and the dozens of other thriving Black economies that followed Reconstruction. They created the Jim Crow laws and birthed the KKK as a terror organization to keep Black voters from the polls. They opposed the 1957, 1960, and 1964 Civil Rights Acts at the majority level. Robin’s framework for how this same party became the political home of nearly 90% of Black voters is the “manufactured crisis / manufactured solution” pattern that runs from FDR’s AFDC welfare program forward — destroy independence, then offer dependency as the only solution.
Then 2018 Winter Olympian Anthony Watson joins. Anthony represented both South Korea and Jamaica, was a Turning Point USA contributor, and has spoken on hundreds of college and high school campuses. He tells the story of what coming out as a Black Christian conservative actually cost him — all his money, his sponsorships (which he was sued to repay), his coaching, his teammates, and even his Olympic country. The Jamaican federation publicly disowned him, telling him their nation deserved real Jamaicans, not American-Jamaicans who were “self-entitled and absorbed with themselves.”
Anthony shares the moment that changed everything — a speech Minister Stephen Davis gave at a Turning Point USA conference in West Palm Beach in 2020, where Stephen told the audience “you can make it or you can make excuses, but you can’t do both.” Anthony stood up in the dark, made a commitment in his heart, and never looked back.
