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.

Did 'demonic' black diss culture inspire Austin Metcalf’s killer?



While overwhelmingly liberal platforms like Netflix are focused on wrongfully assigning a culture of violence to white people — as demonstrated in its latest miniseries “Adolescence” — Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” is calling out what he sees as the real culture of violence.

“This demonic culture, this secular culture that no one wants to talk about,” Whitlock begins. “Young black men, young black girls, older black people, are suffering from diss culture, and they’re emotional, and they’re out of control, and they think they’re justified in being disrespectful, rude, and occasionally violent.”

“And that’s what took the life of Austin Metcalf,” he continues.

The high school football star was attending a track and field championship between other area schools at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas, when he told 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony he was sitting in the wrong seat and asked him to move.


Instead of moving, Anthony then allegedly drew a knife and stabbed Metcalf through the heart. Metcalf’s twin brother rushed to his side, but it was too late. Austin died in his brother’s arms — over a seat.

“The 17-year-old in Texas reached the conclusion, apparently, that he had been disrespected while sitting in the stands at a track meet, and he responded by stabbing Austin Metcalf,” Whitlock says.

“This isn’t a one-off, because the same thing that happened to Austin Metcalf is happening to young black men all across this country. They’re dying because of this culture. They’re being shot and stabbed and beat up and brutalized by other young black men who subscribe to this culture,” he continues.

And a large part of this culture is being driven by hip-hop artists that define “everything in the starkest” and “most nihilistic terms.”

“This prison culture, that’s celebrated, and no one wants to speak out about because of idolatry,” Whitlock explains. “Black ministers won’t touch it because of idolatry. We all want to stay in the good graces of Snoop Dogg and Jay-Z and Kendrick Lamar. We don’t want the heat.”

“We’ve sat and watched our young boys be radicalized by this culture. They’re rotting away in prisons, we’re burying them at a record pace, but no one wants to talk about it because what you want to talk about is white racism, and ‘Oh, what the white man has done to us,’” he continues.

“You have been hoodwinked and fooled into believing that the white evangelical man is your enemy and the source of all your problems,” he adds.

Stephen A. Smith-LeBron James BEEF promotes the dark side of ‘black culture’



ESPN host and apparent presidential hopeful Stephen A. Smith has been beefing with LeBron James, and Jason Whitlock can’t help but feel like it’s all a little “gay” — especially considering that Smith’s public comments on the matter have been laced with uncalled-for profanity.

“There’s no one sitting back saying, ‘Hey man, let’s handle this like a chess game. Let’s use logic. Women are controlled by emotion; we’re men. We’re going to play a game of chess.’ There’s no one saying that,” Whitlock says.

“Stephen A. Smith barely weighs 160 pounds and he’s trying to act like he’s some tough guy,” he continues. “Cut it out.”

And Smith’s history doesn’t help.


“Stephen A. Smith is possibly the biggest fraud they’ve ever seen in the sports world. They know he lied about a college basketball career, they know he’s a pathological liar, but they all sat there,” Whitlock says, “and acted like they were listening to someone who had figured out how to cure cancer.”

“No one with any type of biblical worldview, no one with any type of, ‘Hey, I’ve got larger responsibilities to my kids, to my wife or baby-mama, to my mother, parents, father, family, to God, my employer,’ no one is injecting any of that into the conversation,” he continues.

Whitlock notes that while young people are watching Smith and taking their cues from him, it’s only going to “lead them into a mindset and a way of carrying themselves that will get them into further and further trouble.”

“Just remember, all of these guys, they’re all pro-black. They’re the people that are out trying to save black people; they’re keeping it real for the culture,” he continues.

“Well, what is the culture? The culture is death, and that’s what they’re keeping it real for. They will help you follow and adhere to the death culture, where black people shoot and kill each other and have constant conflict,” he adds.

Whitlock: Viral high school track assault EXPOSES black secular culture



Last week, during Virginia’s indoor track and field state championships, Alaila Everett, a relay runner from Portsmouth, reportedly gave her competitor, Kaelen Tucker of Lynchburg, a concussion when she hit her in the back of the head with a baton mid-race. The blow was enough for Tucker to fall off the track and out of the race entirely.

Everett, in a tearful interview with WSET-TV, claimed the incident was an accident. “I can admit from the video, it does look purposeful, but I know my intentions, and I would never hit somebody on purpose,” she sobbed.

Her relay team was nonetheless disqualified for "contact interference.”

Now she’s claiming to be the victim.

Jason Whitlock dives into the scandal.

“It’s hard to watch,” Jason says of the video capturing the incident.

“That's someone that doesn't want to take accountability for what she did.”

Everett, he says, was probably not raised in a Christian household where she was taught about her sin nature. Her claims that it was an accident when the tape clearly shows intention is evidence of this.

“The reason why I don't engage in that sort of behavior is because I know I'm capable of it,” Jason says, “and so there has to be a realization that ‘hey, I'm fallen, and my nature is sinful, and without submitting to Jesus Christ, a Lord and Savior, my nature will get the best of me, and I will do things that repulse me, repulse others.”

“There is a penalty for walking away from biblical values and creating a secular culture,” he explains.

“There's a demographic of black Americans that think they're following Jesus Christ, and they're not. They're following feminism; they're following their feelings, and so there is a reason why these types of videos keep popping up,” he adds, noting that he feels called to speak on this, as he’s part of the black community.

“If she were in her right mind, discipled by parents who have submitted themselves to Jesus Christ, they would have demanded that their daughter go on TV and say, ‘Holy cow, I lost control of myself; I'm so sorry; what can I do to make retribution?”’

Serena Williams and ‘The View' DEFINE ‘crip walking’ as black culture



When Serena Williams won the gold medal during the 2012 Olympics, the tennis star celebrated with the crip walk — a dance move that was popularized by California gangsters.

Thirteen years later, Williams took the stage during the Super Bowl halftime show alongside rapper Kendrick Lama and performed the crip walk again. While Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” is far from amused by the display, the hosts of "The View" are lauding the performance as a celebration of “black culture.”

“When she did the same crip walk after she beat Sharapova in the 2012 Olympics, she did that walk then, and it was on Wimbledon grass, and everyone said that it was disrespectful,” Sunny Hostin began.

“What she was doing was being her authentic self, an homage to her roots from Compton, and it was black joy and black excellence. You’ve got the greatest female athlete of all time coming out and enjoying it,” Hostin continued, adding, “This was about Serena being her authentic self and being the essence of black culture.”


“I don't know Sunny Hostin’s background, it’s probably similar to Serena in terms of probably a disconnect from the hood culture that she’s trying to attach herself to,” Whitlock says.

When Whitlock initially saw the clip from "The View," he was “stunned” that everyone “seemed to be in agreement” that crip walking was representative of black culture.

“Can they honestly believe this? Or is this just what they have to say to survive on television?” he asks guest Delano Squires.

“I think it depends on who you ask and in what context you ask it. I’ll say it this way. When a black artist is winning awards, let’s say Beyonce winning a Grammy for her country album or a black athlete is winning an award or a Super Bowl or whatever the case may be, then I think black folks are like, ‘Yes, this is for the culture, this is a win,'” Squires tells Whitlock.

“But when a hip-hop artist is being criticized for the content that they put out there, for the guns, the murder, the ops, the drugs, the degradation and disrespect for women, then that same person will say, ‘Oh no, that’s not black culture, that’s hip-hop, that’s that particular individual,'” he continues.

“I think that dichotomy lives in almost all of us and certainly in the people who are talking heads and have the platforms on TV and mainstream media,” he adds.

Feminism over loyalty and tradition: Michelle Obama’s message to black America



Michelle Obama appears to have decided it would be best not to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration or participate in Jimmy Carter’s funeral.

Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” believes it’s more than just a personal decision; it's a message to black American women.

“It’s a message,” Whitlock says, “to the rest of women, black women in particular, that this is the idea. Expectations, protocols, traditions mean nothing. You establish new protocol, new traditions, new expectations. Out with the old, in with the new.”

“It’s a recipe for the kind of destruction and chaos that I think I see throughout all of America, but particularly in black America,” he adds.

Shemeka Michelle is in full agreement.


“I think they’re sending this message because black women have bought into feminism hook, line, and sinker. And we are too stupid to look around and see that it hasn’t really worked out in our best interest,” Michelle says.

“Not only are more black women single, they are single mothers. Our kids have gone astray, and we don’t see the real effects that it’s had,” she continues, adding, “black women and black men alike will applaud Michelle Obama for standing 10 toes down and not going to the inauguration.”

“That’s how little the black man is respected, that it’s okay to hate Trump more than you put on a united front with your husband, more than you show that you are submissive and following your husband,” she adds.

This is why Michelle and so many others have so much respect for Melania Trump.

“It appears that if he says, ‘Jump,’ she says, ‘How high?’ When he moved, she moved, just like that,” Michelle says. “I’m sure she has gone to events that she didn’t want to be at, but she actually showed up to support her husband.”

Glenn Beck on the Surprising History of 'Lift Every Voice and Sing' at the Super Bowl

Squires: Black Christians must answer a simple question: Is my Bible more important than my 'black card'?



Christians in the United States are being tested on a daily basis by a culture that is openly hostile to our faith. From the shutdown of churches to the promotion of drag queens in schools, true believers are being separated from the Christians in name only (ChrINOs) who think Jesus was simply a good teacher with important moral truths.

The forces trying to attack the Christian faith are innumerable, but there is one group of Christians dealing with a different type of fight.

Black Christians are at a crossroads, because our faith is increasingly being challenged by old notions of racial solidarity, and given the current state of race in America, “black” and “Christian” identities cannot coexist. One has to reign supreme over the other.

This does not mean that a person of African descent cannot be a Christian. On the contrary, biblical anthropology is quite clear: all of mankind is descended from Adam, and every person from every ethnicity, nation, tribe, and people group is a sinner in desperate need of a savior.

Those who turn from their sin and believe that Jesus died for their salvation are saved by God’s grace. Since salvation comes from God, no person can take credit for his or her own righteousness. The Bible says that the people of God are drawn from different tribes and nations, speaking different languages and possessing different cultures. These various people groups are united in Christ, not by skin color or other superficial characteristics.

There is nothing contradictory about being a Christian who also acknowledges national or ethnic identity. We need not be ashamed of anything God created to display His glory. The trouble for believers starts when any other aspect of our identity is elevated above our identity in Christ. Doing so leads directly to the sin of idolatry.

Many black Christians in America are grappling with this tension as we speak, because blackness – to paraphrase Nikole Hannah-Jones – has largely become a political identity. This is why Joe Biden felt comfortable declaring that black voters who didn’t support him “ain’t black.”

What makes this even worse is that black political identity largely overlaps with one party and is defined in opposition to whatever is deemed “white” by that party. The National Museum of African American History and Culture published a list of beliefs, values, and behaviors it claimed represented “white culture” a few years ago. It included the nuclear family, rational thinking, hard work, and punctuality.

The people behind this project, like many progressives, have come to believe that “blackness” is a challenge to “white” social and cultural norms. This is why racial activists frame abortion, “body positivity,” prison abolition, homosexuality, transgenderism, and feminism as necessary tools in the fight against “white supremacy.”

This is one reason many black Christians, including several prominent black evangelical pastors, attempt to thread the needle of promoting Black Lives Matter as a slogan while rejecting the organization. That is extremely difficult given that the organization’s co-founders popularized both the phrase and the movement.

Trying to “redeem” BLM is also unnecessary. Christians, regardless of color, do not need a Marxist organization to affirm the value of black image-bearers. God already did that in Genesis 1:27 and does not need assistance from people who claim to value all black lives except ones developing in the womb.

In fact, 18 civil rights organizations released a statement today requesting a meeting with President Biden to discuss abortion in the wake of the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade. The announcement on the National Urban League’s website included this passage:

This letter explicitly highlights the disproportionate impact this decision will have on Black women, other women of color, and vulnerable women, and the undeniable connection between abortion access and other social justice issues, including voter disenfranchisement, policing abuse, criminal injustice, poverty, economic inequity, housing inequity, LGBTQ+ rights, the immigration crisis, food insecurity, medical bias, and environmental injustice.

It’s clear that authentic blackness, as defined by the left, requires complete support of abortion as well as every other policy priority of the Democratic National Committee. The NAACP should be renamed the “National Association for the Abortion of Colored People,” because it is as committed to reducing the black population as Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood. The nation’s largest abortion provider also receives support from the Congressional Black Caucus and BET.

Black Christians are at a crossroads. Some of the most prominent institutions that purport to advocate for black people are committed to our destruction, and “Christian nationalist” is used as a pejorative to describe believers who want biblical definitions of biological sex, marriage, and family reflected in law.

Black believers are going to have to choose. We can believe that man’s greatest source of bondage is sin, or we can argue that Jesus came to the earth to ensure equity in every area of life for “marginalized people of color.”

We can either argue for the inherent value of all life, or we can chant “black lives matter” in solidarity with people who think it is better for a child to be killed in the womb than be born to a poor black mother.

We can either affirm that sex is established at conception and remains unchanged throughout our lives, or we can join BET as it “stans” for Zaya Wade and agree with black professors who believe men can get pregnant.

We can accept God’s design for the family – one man and one woman dedicated to one another and any children who come from their union – or we can continue to go along with the black intellectuals who think marriage is obsolete and fathers are optional.

Enslaved Africans were deemed subhuman pieces of property by white slave owners who actually believed in the inherent supremacy of some “races.” The Civil Rights movement was characterized by the pursuit of equal citizenship, but it was driven by the recognition that every person – regardless of color – is created in the image of God.

The black leadership class of today has turned that imago Dei revolution on its head. The same people who think W.E.B DuBois was correct when he said that “the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line” are now pushing the problem of the 21st century: the rejection of the sex binary.

The groups who claim to fight in the spirit of their ancestors now advocate for the destruction of their progeny and insist that “real” black people must agree with them. Some of the same black Christians who believe white evangelicals have made an idol out of national pride have made an idol out of racial identity.

This double-mindedness can’t continue. We can keep the Bible or our black cards. We can’t have both.

Whitlock: The reparations movement undermines black American progress



In less than a minute Monday night, Hilary Fordwich blew up CNN broadcaster Don Lemon’s simple-minded narrative on reparations.

In a discussion about the British monarchy, Lemon nonchalantly referenced the need for reparations because of England’s past colonialism. Fordwich pounced. The seasoned public speaker and expert on the royal family argued that Britain was the first nation to end slavery and that African slave traders owed reparations.

Her argument left Lemon speechless. He quickly moved on.

We shouldn’t. We need to discuss reparations in America. It’s a critical issue that impacts the mindset of many black Americans. Many black people believe America owes us for the oppression of our ancestors.

I take a completely different position. I believe I owe my ancestors for the oppression they endured and conquered. I owe reparations. To my mother and father. To my grandparents. To Martin Luther King Jr. and Booker T. Washington. To Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Harriet Tubman, George Washington, and Crispus Attucks. To my high school football coaches. To my fourth-grade teacher. To all the people who invested their time, concern, prayers, and mentorship in my development.

I try to immerse myself in a spirit of gratitude because I believe Jesus Christ died on a cross for all of my sins. His grace and mercy overwhelm me and combat any sense of entitlement.

Reparations are an entitlement. They’re rooted in the desire to be compensated for the oppression suffered by others. Entitlement handicaps the mind and undermines productivity.

America does not owe me. I owe America. I owe my ancestors.

When President Kennedy told Americans in 1960 to ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country, he spoke to a nation of Christian believers.

A hallmark of faith is gratitude. A hallmark or a lack of faith is entitlement.

My parents’ generation, despite facing in-your-face racism, felt grateful for their American citizenship. Their generation and previous generations fought for full American citizenship.

They earned it. And I owe them for their sacrifice. We all do.

Here’s the truth that Hilary Fordwich avoided unloading on Don Lemon: The modern descendants of African slaves brought to America (and England) are blessed and owe an enormous debt to our forefathers and mothers. They suffered so that we now live free. They turned lemons into lemonade.

I’m not owed reparations. I owe an endless debt to the people who sacrificed their lives so that I could live in the freest, safest, and most opportunity-filled country on the planet.

I wake up every day thinking about how I can pay back my mother, father, brother, sister, my high school, my college, and anyone else who helped me along the way.

I owe this country. It is not perfect. But there’s no place else on the planet I’d rather live.

I certainly do not have an interest in living in a land that Britain had to stop from capturing, enslaving, and selling people who looked like me. Americans stopped Americans from doing that. The Brits stopped Africans from doing it.

I’m an American. I’m not ashamed of that. God placed me in this country for a reason.



The American reparations movement sends the message that white people are responsible for the destiny of black people. The movement exonerates black people from our role in the slave trade.

We pretend that Europeans invented and initiated the African slave trade. It’s a revisionist history that defies logic. Africans established the African slave trade. It’s laughable to blame the customer for a product line he didn’t launch.

The fight for reparations is reinforcement of a slave mindset. It screams that black people are not responsible for themselves or their actions. It screams that black people are whores to the highest white bidder.

Are we? We celebrate rappers who profit from denigrating the image of black people. Jay Z, Snoop, Dr. Dre, Meek Mill, and all the rest are no different from African slave traders. They sell out black people for record deals and fame.

They have an entitled mindset. They owe the world and their ancestors nothing. They’ve enriched themselves at the expense of other black people. Anyone who complains is vilified as a traitor.

Black Americans will not progress until we rid ourselves of the entitled reparations mindset, until we embrace the fact that we owe our ancestors – black and white – an enormous debt.
