White culture exists — and America is losing it



Jeremy Carl, Trump-appointee and author of “The Unprotected Class,” faced a grilling at the United States Senate when Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) tore into his beliefs on “white identity.”

“You’re now retreating to ethnic identity. You don’t speak about ethnic identity. You speak about white identity. So tell me the values that stitch together white identity and that make it different than black identity,” Murphy asked.

“I would say that the white church is very different than the black church in terms of its tone and style on average. Foodways could often be different. Music could be different, if you look at the Super Bowl halftime show, which was not in English this year,” Carl explained.

Murphy responded, “So our ability to access white churches or white food or white music is being erased?”


“I am concerned with the majority common American culture that we had for some time, that through particularly mass immigration, I think has become much more balkanized, and I think that weakens us,” Carl said.

BlazeTV host Jonathan “Lomez” Keeperman is of the mind that Carl is right.

“On second viewing, I mean, I watched this live, and by the way, in the context of this hour-long Senate hearing, he was just getting grilled from all directions ... he was being accused of anti-feminism, he was being accused by [Sen.] John Curtis of Utah [R] for not being, like, sufficiently loyal to Israel. And then there was this white thing,” Lomez tells BlazeTV co-host Christopher Rufo on “Rufo & Lomez.”

“And I think what we saw there was him a little bit stumbling through the answer, but it’s actually the right answer. I mean, he gives the right answer, the specific details,” Lomez continues.

Lomez points out that there are different parts of American culture, and different races have their own piece.

“I’m not saying this, by the way, just to please a liberal listener. It’s all true, OK? This is all deeply embedded in our culture and the common culture as well, but it is predominantly what we might call 'white,'” he explains.

“When you turn on Netflix or something, or like Hulu, or just turn on the TV, there’s BET. There’s Black Entertainment Channel, and there’s black stories to enjoy with your family on Hulu, and then there’s Asian stories, and you know, you get the whole diaspora of all these different groups,” he continues.

“There’s no white channel, there’s no white story section ... because ... that is the baseline culture that these other things are kind of orbiting around and existing within. And what Jeremy is suggesting here is that we are losing that common culture. We are losing that common white culture,” he adds.

Debate: Hip-hop culture’s grip on Deion and Shedeur Sanders



BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock believes that football stars like Deion Sanders and his son Shedeur are spreading the worst of black culture to not only NFL fans but players — but former NFL quarterback Shaun King doesn’t share his sentiment.

“If we’re being honest, the black rap hip-hop culture has permeated every part of America. I mean, go on TikTok. It’s white moms with young white daughters doing the dances. You know, I don’t even know if athletes are who this generation of young Americans idolize,” King argues.

“All they did was looked at what the algorithm says works, and we’re going to use this to build a post-Deion playing career brand, and it’s focused on that energy. But they didn’t create it. They just took what was working and said, ‘We’re gonna use it to bring some more money into the Sanders’ family,'” he continues.


“So that’s why I try not to target them. It’s like they’re the reason that Jaxson Dart is wearing diamond necklaces or that J.J. McCarthy is doing the dance as he runs. ... It’s rap, hip-hop took over,” he says, adding, “They had like a 10-15 year stretch where they kind of raised a whole decade of Americans.”

“On that we agree,” Whitlock says.

“Hip-hop has had incredible influence over athletes and young people in general, and for black athletes, my argument is like, ‘Hey man, football, particularly at the quarterback position, but football in general, because of its military-like structure, it’s about submission,'” he explains.

“It’s about submitting to the head coach and the team as greater than yourself. And hip-hop is about individuality and being rebellious to authority,” he adds.

Whitlock also points out that point-wise, white quarterbacks are dominating black quarterbacks in the NFL — and he believes it has a lot to do with this culture.

“White guys are free to submit,” Whitlock explains. “Black guys have all this pressure to be rebellious, mimic hip-hop culture, and that’s why there’s a bit of a struggle, and that’s what I’m saying is going to be a part of Shedeur’s struggle.”

Cam Newton gets black fatigue after Grambling brawl — calls out black players and coaches



A massive brawl broke out at halftime between the players of Grambling State and Bethune-Cookman this past weekend — which resulted in over two dozen players being suspended.

Grambling State and Bethune-Cookman are both historically black colleges and universities that ex-NFL star Cam Newton explained on “4th&1 Podcast with Cam Newton” are now “set back” by the students' and the coaches' actions.

"We are already at a deficit with visibility, and we literally just had a civil war over a football game. What?” Newton began.

"No matter if you in the MEAC, the SWAC, the SIAC, the OVC, if you're a representation of blackness and black culture, you should look at this and say to yourself, ‘This set us back,’” he continued.


Immediately following the brawl, Grambling State head coach Mickey Joseph said the school wasn’t going to tolerate “disrespect,” and the school is “going to meet disrespect with disrespect.” While he later apologized, Newton still wasn’t having it.

"It set us back. Just imagine if you had College Game Day and a melee broke out in halftime versus LSU in Alabama. Certain things just will not happen," he said.

"I don't care what somebody else did. It's what you did in retaliation to that," he added.

BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock believes Newton’s response is real “progress.”

“One of the things I have to acknowledge about all of these athletes moving into the media space, they’re now acting or moving towards acting like media members. And that means they find themselves having to criticize people who allegedly look like them or share their skin color,” Whitlock says.

“And so when it was just us journalists out here doing it, if you were white and you called out Mickey Joseph and this foolishness, oh, you’re being racist. If you were black, you’re an Uncle Tom and a coon, and the athletes used to feel this way and say these types of things,” he continues.

“Now that they’re in the media ... they’re looking out like, ‘Hold on, man, there are people that allegedly look like me or share my skin complexion who are doing foolish things that have to be called out,’” he says, adding, “Hats off to Cam Newton for calling it out.”

‘The fruit of a demonic culture’: Whitlock dives deeper into the cause of Charlotte train killing



Iryna Zarutska’s suspected killer wasn’t a productive citizen who just snapped one day — the man had over a dozen prior arrests — yet somehow was still walking the streets freely.

And the crime he is suspected of committing is not an isolated incident.

“I don’t even know his name. I’m not that interested in his name. He’s unimportant individually, but what he represents is very important,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock says on “Jason Whitlock Harmony.”

While Whitlock admits it might sound crazy, his major takeaway after watching the video of Zarutska’s horrifying murder is that her killer was “demon possessed.”


“And because we have become so secular, we don’t even understand demons and the wickedness, the evilness that we’re seeing. We don’t interpret things the way that we used to interpret things previously … when our worldview was much more Christian, much more biblical, much more rooted in the spiritual nature of this world,” he explains.

“Now everything is very secular, and so we don’t think this way,” he adds.

Many Americans have responded to the tragedy by pointing to the need for mental institutions or fixing the justice system that let a violent criminal out to do what he pleased, but Whitlock notes that the solution is much deeper than that.

The entire “culture” that the alleged killer was created by is “demonic” in itself — and needs to be completely changed.

Whitlock notes that rap music has long glorified murder within the black community, saying, “It flirts with all this demonic, devil worshipping, all of this stuff.”

“And then we look out and see someone like Decarlos Brown Jr., who clearly to me, if he were trying to rob this woman, and kill her, I think we’d all sit back and say, ‘Oh man, this is a terrible tragedy, lock this dude up for life, give him the death penalty’ … but just killing a young woman that got on a train and sat in front of you, and then saying something about ‘I got that white girl,’ this is demonic,” Whitlock says.

“And it’s the fruit of a demonic culture,” he adds.

Whitlock: Why this murder is the ‘death knell’ for Black Lives Matter



As the mainstream media and leftist politicians rush to sympathize with the alleged murderer of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock is pointing out how real Americans are feeling — and it’s far from the same way.

“As someone that understands the power of social media and that the social media deal drove the entire Black Lives Matter movement, and it’s very influential, that even with this legacy media blackout, this incident I’m calling the death knell for black culture, the image of black Americans,” Whitlock says.

“It feels like irrevocable harm to the reputation of black people. Everybody is posting videos. Everybody’s posting stats about black-on-white crime. And none of this should be surprising,” he continues.


While Black Lives Matter relied on their “fact” that black men needed to live in fear of being gunned down by white police officers every day, Americans are now waking up and realizing that wasn’t exactly the truth.

“At some point, we’re going to show you what black criminals are doing to white people. And there’s far more examples of this than white police officers behaving inappropriately. And there will be far more video showing white police officers defending themselves from aggressive black criminal suspects,” Whitlock says.

“And the question I’m asking today, among other things, it’s like the people that supported Black Lives Matter, when are they going to apologize? When are they going to publicly acknowledge that their Black Lives Matter movement has created this backlash that has put black people’s reputation at the lowest point?” he continues.

“Our reputation is at the lowest point in American history. And the Black Lives Matter movement created this, created the racial idolatry, and helped drive this new form of racial tribalism,” he says, adding, “a form of tribalism that America was moving away from.”

Stephen Jackson AFFIRMS Karmelo Anthony and DESTROYS BIG3



BIG3 opening weekend has come and gone, but not without a tense — and memorable — altercation between players Stephen Jackson and Dwight Howard.

“This is BIG3 opening weekend. No one’s going to be surprised when we hear, ‘Hey, shots fired at a BIG3 basketball game.’ No one’s going to be surprised, no one. This is the culture, the atmosphere. This is what the BIG3 is producing,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock says.

“A bunch of solid to good former NBA players that are in their late 30s, early 40s, that are still little babies and children who can’t play a basketball game without getting into a fight that spills into the stands,” he adds.

And Whitlock believes this attitude is not just reflected on the basketball court.


“Stephen Jackson’s 47 years old. He’s the host of the "All The Smoke" podcast. He came to increased fame because he was friends with George Floyd. Stephen Jackson loves to lean into the victimhood mentality, into the rap, anger, gangster rapper mentality. He’s not evolving,” Whitlock says.

“This is a plague, a mental plague,” he continues. “This has been going on now for 30-plus years. Affirm any and everything. Hey, Karmelo Anthony with a ‘K,’ you just stabbed another teenager, because he asked you to get up out of a seat in an area that you weren’t supposed to be in. Let’s affirm that. Let’s make up a fake narrative. Let’s all pretend, ‘Well, this kid feared for his life.’”

“He had no choice but to stab him,” he mocks. “Let’s start a GoFundMe or a GiveSendGo, and let’s send a million dollars, half-million dollars, to Karmelo Anthony and his family. Let’s affirm Karmelo Anthony’s behavior because everything has to be affirmed.”

“You can’t just affirm any and everything, and that’s what we’ve been doing in this society,” he adds.

Jason Whitlock: Tyler Perry’s ‘Straw’ is ‘demonic’



The number-one film currently streaming on Netflix is Tyler Perry’s latest movie, called "Straw," which follows a single mother who faces “a series of painful events.”

BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock and BlazeTV contributor Shemeka Michelle didn’t love the film, but they do think it revealed something about Perry’s audience.

“Initially, I was very upset with Tyler Perry, simply because I thought, you know, his greatest fan base, which he himself has admitted is black women, I thought it would go completely over their heads,” Michelle tells Whitlock.

“Spoiler alert, for those who haven’t seen it,” she continues, “he waited until the very last minute of the movie to really show that this woman was suffering from psychosis, which is a mental disorder based on being completely detached from reality, which is what she was.”


“I got even angrier when I got online and it was proven that it completely went over women’s heads, and I kept seeing them say, ‘Oh, I am Janiah,’ who is the main character of the movie. ‘I stand with Janiah,’ you know, ‘Janiah is me, this is what single women go through every single day,’” she continues.

However, not all black single women are walking around suffering from psychosis.

“This is not what single women or single mothers go through every day,” Michelle says. “And then I had to say it’s not Tyler Perry’s fault that his main group of supporters are intellectual midgets.”

“I’m just trying to figure out where to stand with Tyler, because I thought he just could have done a better job, but I think it exposes the psychosis in black women, the detachment from reality, the hallucinations, the bad behavior, because so many of them were just applauding this,” she adds.

After watching the film, Whitlock had a similar realization.

“Corporate media, the movies, Netflix: They’re all just dumping poison. You’re a victim no matter what you do, no matter how crazy you are, no matter how violent you are, you’re only doing it because this system is racist and because you’ve been mistreated,” Whitlock says.

“And this is where you and I disagree,” he tells Michelle. “Tyler Perry is the source of a lot of the delusion that black women have. His movies are there to create delusion among black women, to create a false reality.”

“His movies are demonic, and his movies are there to make black women think they can do no wrong, they’re a victim of everything, the world is against them,” he adds.

Rosa Parks underwear, pimps, and bad haircuts: The TOP Met Gala looks that went TERRIBLY wrong



The Met Gala is a time for celebrities to socialize and dress to the nines, and this year, Dave Landau of “Normal World” and Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” found the looks interesting — to say the least.

“If you look at the people, they’re all pimps. Like 80% of them are dressed as pimps to celebrate black culture,” Landau jokes.

One Met Gala goer, Lisa, who starred in HBO’s “The White Lotus,” has been slammed by critics for wearing what appeared to be underwear with Rosa Parks’ face on them. Her lace briefs were stitched with a collage of women designed by artist Henry Taylor — and fans were convinced they saw the Civil Rights icon’s face on them.


“One thing I will note, and this is another tradition here in the United States, um, pants. You could theoretically wear pants, and even if you had Rosa Parks underwear, we wouldn’t know. That’s just a tip for anyone coming in,” Stu says.

“If you look very closely, you can see little faces of people. Now, I don’t know for sure if it’s Rosa Parks,” he adds.

A representative for the artist who designed the panties explained to the press that the image was not of Rosa Parks “but one of Henry’s neighbors.”

“That’s what happens when you don’t wear pants,” Stu jokes.

Pamela Anderson has also been the subject of criticism after appearing on the red carpet with a “bold new hairdo.”

“The most glamorous night of your life, I suppose it’s an interesting haircut,” Stu comments.

“I would say it’s kind of a Rocky Dennis haircut, maybe a special needs bowl cut, and that’s not against anybody who has special needs,” Landau chimes in, adding, “It’s the Jim Carrey Lloyd Christmas haircut.”

“I don’t understand why all fashion is like this,” he continues, adding, “It all feels like a prank. Like, this feels like a prank.”

The release of Karmelo Anthony-Austin Metcalf video will end in chaos



After the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf, Dominique Alexander of the Next Generation Action Network has said in a press conference that there is video evidence of the murder — and Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” is bracing himself for the aftermath.

And why is he bracing himself? Because he believes that the victim narrative being painted of suspect Karmelo Anthony — which has resulted in hundreds of thousands raised for him via GiveSendGo — is about to blow up in every one of his supporters' faces.

“Karmelo Anthony’s parents, the way he’s framed his entire press conference, were frustrated about the lack of communication they were getting from police,” Whitlock says, noting that what he believes is happening now, with the potential addition of video evidence, is that “this self-defense deal that y’all talking about is not backed up by video evidence.”


“So when he hears that, and the family hears that, they go into backpedal mode. ‘Hey get out there and tell people we’re being harassed, our lives are in jeopardy, we need more police protection,’” Whitlock predicts.

“Look at what Dominique Alexander did. He went out and told you guys this was bad information,” he continues. “There’s a backpedal going on, and the reason they’re backpedaling, and this is what has me concerned, is that this video is going to be so bad, so grotesque, so unfair, and is going to paint the people that have been running around trying to defend Karmelo Anthony in such a bad light.”

“They’re afraid that this [alleged] Karmelo Anthony stabbing of Austin Metcalf is going to make white people say, ‘Never again, you idiots that defended him,’” he adds.

And if the video is as horrific as Whitlock predicts, the violent reaction to the death of George Floyd will only make the case stronger against Anthony.

“White people are going to have their line that they draw on the sand, their never-forget moment,” he says. “They won’t be thinking about a 45-year-old career criminal filled up on enough fentanyl to kill 12 horses. They’re going to be thinking about a 17-year-old with a bright future, a committed Christian, a 3.97 grade point average, a Division I college football recruit, who had his life cut short because some black kid has no emotional control.”

Whitlock: ‘Black pride’ TURNED Karmelo Anthony into George Floyd 2.0



On April 2, 2025, during a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas, a confrontation between two 17-year-old students, Karmelo Anthony from Centennial High School and Austin Metcalf from Memorial High School, turned deadly.

Anthony, who was sitting in the Memorial tent instead of his own team’s tent, was asked to leave by Metcalf. According to reports, Anthony refused and taunted Metcalf, saying, “Touch me and see what happens.” Metcalf then tried to physically remove Anthony from the tent, which resulted in Anthony pulling a knife out of his bag and stabbing him in the chest. Metcalf was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries.

The horrific incident has sparked national outrage — with many arguing that Anthony acted out of self-defense. The “Help Karmelo Official Fund” has already raised over $200,000.

Jason Whitlock says, “This is a cut-and-dry case.”

“Two high school kids had a verbal dispute, and one kid stabbed another kid in the heart. This is murder, and this isn't controversial.”

All this support for Karmelo, he argues, is the same toxic “black pride” that fueled the George Floyd riots.

“Karmelo Anthony's defense team and these nongovernment organizations that seem dedicated to driving racial division — they're pumping out information over social media that is clouding up a cut-and-dry case, and it is trying to draw a lot of sympathy and change the narrative on what transpired,” says Jason.

The majority of the support Anthony is receiving is “not organic,” he says. It’s “bought and paid for by the defense team.”

“People are being paid; key influencers are being paid to pump out speculative, inaccurate information intended to change the narrative around this,” he explains.

All of a sudden, the narrative that “Austin Metcalf was bullying Karmelo Anthony” and that “Karmelo Anthony was just standing his ground” is actively working to replace the truth, which is that “a kid responded to what he perceived as disrespect with violence.”

Anthony’s disproportionate aggression, Jason argues, is typical in the black community.

“This is how young black kids treat each other in their own all-black communities. If they sense and see any disrespect, they respond hyper-aggressively and often violently,” he says.

The justification of such violence is a consequence of “racial idolatry."

“When you take pride in your race, now you start defending it no matter what, and that's how you end up with heroes and statues of George Floyd. That's how you end up with a GoFundMe for Karmelo Anthony,” says Jason.
