According to the FBI, Davis in 1957 “championed the policies of Soviet Russia.”Like father, Like son.
In 1959 an FBI source who was close to Davis reported that Davis had been having conflict with his comrades at the ILWU and the Honolulu Record, because Davis was a "haole [Caucasian] hater."
In 1968 Davis, under the pseudonym Bob Green, authored the book Sex Rebel: Black (Memoirs of a Gash Gourmet), an explict, pornographic autobiography published in San Diego by Greenleaf Classics. Emphasizing that “all incidents I have described here [in the book] have been taken from actual experiences,” Davis openly acknowledged that he lived the life of a sexual swinger:
“I admit, however, that my sex syndrome may be more complex than that of many swingers and swappers.... Under certain circumstances I am bi-sexual.... I’m also a voyeur and exhibitionist. Occasionally I am mildly interested in sado-masochism.”Further, the book described sexual encounters which the fictional Greene and his wife had experienced with underage children of both sexes.
In the very early 1970s Davis met a young Barack Obama, whose mother had sent the boy to live with his grandparents in Hawaii. Obama's grandfather, Stanley Armour Dunham, arranged for Davis to become the boy's mentor and advisor. From approximately 1971-79, Davis had considerable influence on the young Obama, particularly during the last four of those years. (Notably, Davis once sat on a union-publicity committee with Chicago Sun-Times reporter Vernon Jarrett, father-in-law of Valerie Jarrett, the latter of whom would later become a close confidante and advisor to President Barack Obama).
