From Activism to Conservatism: Craig Scott's Journey

Join Bill and Odell as they sit down with Craig Scott, whose remarkable journey has taken him from black militant activism to becoming a leading voice in the conservative movement. In this candid conversation, Craig shares his firsthand experiences with the criminal justice system and offers a unique perspective on the lasting effects of the 1994 crime bill. He discusses his support for the America First movement and the importance of self-sufficiency within the black community.
The discussion dives deep into the challenges faced by black conservatives, exploring the complexities of political identity and representation in a landscape often dominated by traditional party affiliations. Bill, Odell, and Craig tackle tough questions about political endorsements, community reactions, and what it means to step outside established political lines.
With thoughtful analysis, the episode explores the historical roots of party politics, the impact of current geopolitical conflicts, and the real-world consequences of liberal policies on the black community.
