Did communists hijack America’s racial justice movements? Former Communist Party insider Manning Johnson thought so—and he had the receipts. In this episode, we are talking about Johnson’s 1958 book, Color, Communism, and Common Sense, to explore how racial division was weaponized by Marxists to destabilize the U.S. capitalistic system and where we see the residue of these ideas working today.

Kevin and Monique confront the uncomfortable truth: much of what is sold to the black community as “protection” or “progress” is often rooted in fear — fear of independence, fear of losing government support, fear of being left behind. In this podcast, we challenge the systems, narratives, and political strategies, especially from the Democrat Party, that keep blacks mentally fragile, emotionally dependent, and economically stagnant. This isn't about partisanship — it's about mental, spiritual, and economic liberation. It's time to think freely, act boldly, and pursue real flourishing, not fear-driven survival.
