The segment explores the intense vitriol directed at Clarence Thomas on social media, including the use of racial slurs by liberal critics. The hosts discuss how Thomas and other black conservatives like Ben Carson and Larry Elder are treated as "open targets." They speculate that Thomas held back his "political power" during the 2020 election disputes to focus on the long-term goal of restoring states' rights.
The segment explores the theory that there are "two Donald Trumps"—a public "red tie" persona and a private, cerebral "blue tie" version. This is illustrated by Ben Carson's quick pivot to supporting Trump just 24 hours after Trump compared him to a pathological pedophile during the primaries. The hosts discuss how Trump uses extreme public insults to dominate rivals who eventually "kiss the ring" to stay in the show.
P. Diddy organized a "mandatory family meeting" on his Revolt TV network to discuss the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on the black community. The panel included rappers like Meek Mill and Killer Mike, as well as activists like Al Sharpton and Angela Rye. The hosts criticize the inclusion of entertainers on a panel about a medical pandemic, questioning why top black medical professionals like Ben Carson were not invited to provide serious expertise.
The hosts discuss "white flight," where white homeowners fled neighborhoods as Black families moved in to avoid depreciating property values. Mo Facts expresses a preference for "separate but equal" funding over forced integration, arguing that the government should have allowed capital to flow into "red" areas to build up minority communities. They argue that federal laws often forced integration in ways that ultimately destabilized neighborhoods.
A YouTube clip from Black Public Media explores why "black folks don't vote Republican," citing a lack of trust and the influence of "extreme conservatism" since Barry Goldwater. Participants in the clip describe black Republicans as "closeted" or "cray cray." The hosts argue that this shows the success of political programming and the social stigma attached to breaking the Democratic monolith.
Donald Trump explains the intent behind Opportunity Zones, which offer zero capital gains tax for long-term investments in designated neighborhoods. The hosts critique the program's implementation under HUD and Ben Carson, noting that only 11% of zones are in truly poor neighborhoods. They describe the program as a "wild west" tax shelter for the wealthy that requires minimal actual business activity within the distressed areas.
