Republican vs. Democrat: Who Failed Black America?

Stephen A. Smith hosts a powerful and passionate debate between Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and conservative commentator Anton Daniels on one of the most important questions facing America today: Who has truly failed Black America?

From jobs, education, crime, immigration, family structure, and political accountability to the role of Democrats and Republicans in shaping Black communities, this conversation pulls no punches. Anton Daniels argues that personal responsibility and accountability are the keys to success, while Tharon Johnson contends that leadership, policy, and investment in communities remain critical to improving outcomes.

The result is an intense, thought-provoking discussion that challenges conventional wisdom from both sides of the political aisle.

Do Democrats deserve credit for Black progress?
Have Republicans offered better solutions?
Is the biggest problem government policy or personal responsibility?

Watch the full debate and decide for yourself.
