In this episode of BEP Live, Tony Tidbit and Chris P. Reed take on one of the most polarizing and perplexing topics in modern politics: the rise of Black conservatism and the narratives that accompany it. Using real clips from prominent Black conservative voices, the hosts unpack the startling disconnect between what some of these figures claim and the lived realities of Black Americans.

Tony and Chris cut through the talking points to examine how the GOP continues to reshape conversations around racism, identity, and power, often in ways that erase or distort Black experience. They explore why some Black conservatives adopt these narratives, what they gain, what they risk, and what it means for the larger community. This episode doesn’t shy away from contradiction, discomfort, or calling out political gaslighting. Instead, it pushes for a deeper, more honest dialogue about history, policy, and the long-term implications of aligning with a party that often minimizes or denies the systemic issues still shaping Black life.

If you’re ready for a conversation that challenges assumptions, confronts false narratives, and forces a real look at the political crossroads facing the Black community, pull up a seat. This one demands your attention.
