Country music stars cry racism over Texas music festival 'incident' involving a cotton plant

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg?id=52677588&width=1200&height=800&coordinates=0,0,300,0 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg%3Fid%3D52677588%26width%3D1200%26height%3D800%26coordinates%3D0%2C0%2C300%2C0%22%7D" expand=1]

Jason Whitlock has a new segment on his show called Justice for TT, where he finds “the most outlandish ... far-fetched claims of racism” so that he can “demand justice” (i.e., mock the absurdity).

Today’s subject involves the War and Treaty – a country music husband-wife duo who threw a fit when they found a certain plant in their greenroom at the Coca-Cola Sips & Sounds Summer Festival in Texas.

“The War and Treaty felt ‘betrayed’ after finding cotton plant in dressing room,” says Jason, reading from a People magazine headline.

According to the article, the duo found the presence of the botanical “deeply offensive.” Tanya Trotter was especially upset considering she’s “the granddaughter of a sharecropper.”

“Beyond it just being about racism, it’s broader now,” she said. “It’s now a safety issue because we have to feel safe coming to these festivals.”

Tanya’s husband, Michael Trotter, shared his wife’s offense.

“Anger is what I felt. Disrespect is what I felt. Sadness is what I felt — sadness not just because of what that plant represents to people who look like me but sadness for myself because I am a son of this country,” he lamented.

Jason finds the “incident” funny and certainly worthy of mockery.

“Do these people wear cotton underwear? Cotton T-shirts? Where does it end?” he asks.

Apparently, Tanya Trotter’s “grandfather actually bought the plantation he picked cotton on,” and her family “still lives there," but Jason only sees hypocrisy.

“Your grandfather bought a plantation that grew cotton, so when your grandfather would step out of the house and look at a cotton field did he go, ‘Oh my God, there's cotton, I'm so traumatized!’?” he asks.

“People magazine and many other media outlets picked up on this story, and they're treating it seriously,” laughs Jason, adding that this is clearly the work of people who are looking to “hunt down some racism.”

Patrick Bet-David turns into a FANBOY; says Stephen A. Smith is the GOAT

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg?id=52673551&width=600&height=600&coordinates=840,0,0,0 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg%3Fid%3D52673551%26width%3D600%26height%3D600%26coordinates%3D840%2C0%2C0%2C0%22%7D" expand=1]

Stephen A. Smith is apparently in negotiations with ESPN to become the highest-paid sports commentator — with a $25 million per year contract on the table.

After news of the possible deal broke, Patrick Bet-David sat down with Stephen A. Smith on Smith’s podcast.

And he may have fanboyed a little too close to the sun.

“Talk to me about what your vision is of what America should be,” Smith says to PBD.

“What America should be,” PBD repeats, before completely ignoring the question. “You’re the greatest guy in sports commentating ever, right? You’re the GOAT. Everybody calls you the GOAT.”

Jason Whitlock is understandably confused by the praise.

“Is this a worthy classification? Is he the Michael Jordan of sports commentary?” Whitlock asks Steve Kim.

“I’ve never actually heard anyone outside of Patrick Bet-David actually say ‘You’re the greatest of all time in that field,’” Kim says. “Is he going to be the most well paid? Is he the most exposed or overexposed? Is he the one that’s out there the most? Is he the most ubiquitous? Yes.”

“But does that necessarily make him the greatest commentator of all time?” he asks, adding, “I never thought of him as the greatest. I don’t think he knows enough, to be honest with you.”

Whitlock agrees.

“When you start saying that someone is the greatest sports commentator of all time, and he’s worth $25 million a year, this is where my brain goes,” Whitlock begins. “This is all a rigged simulation. This is all a Matrix. And these are people that are supporting the Matrix, who are just like Patrick Bet-David.”

“Is he represented by the same agents as Stephen A. Smith? Because it’s such a nonsensical statement. It’s like, you know, ‘Jason Whitlock is the greatest bodybuilder of all time.’ That’s what it’s the equivalent of,” he adds.

Is Kevin Costner’s 3-hour Western, ‘Horizon,’ worth seeing? Opinions vary

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg?id=52549403&width=1200&height=800&coordinates=300,0,0,0 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg%3Fid%3D52549403%26width%3D1200%26height%3D800%26coordinates%3D300%2C0%2C0%2C0%22%7D" expand=1]

It’s a rare day when a genuinely good movie comes out — one that isn’t saturated with the woke agenda. But according to Jason Whitlock, Kevin Costner’s Western, “Horizon: An American Saga—Chapter 1,” checks all the boxes.

Why Kevin Costner’s ‘Horizon’ Is a Must-Watch for Every American | Ep 732youtu.be

“This will be the first time I just give a full-throated endorsement of a movie. I loved ‘Horizon,’” Jason says, scoring the film 9.5 out of 10, partially because “there was no agenda.”

“I just got to watch the movie, and I didn't feel like anybody was trying to shove any point down my throat,” he tells Kevin Donahue and Shameka Michelle.

Not everyone shares Jason’s enthusiasm, however.

“It was torture for me,” disagrees Shameka, who hates Westerns in general but nonetheless thought it was “well-written.”

She also appreciated that in the movie “the Indians weren't just these peaceful people whose land was taken over” by evil colonizers.

“It was a classic Western movie,” adds Kevin. “It was historically accurate … the setting was amazing,” and it “[showed] the rough, rugged America we no longer know.”

He does, however, acknowledge that “there were a lot of subplots,” which at times could be hard to follow, and that the film “started off pretty violent.”

Overall, he gives the film a “7 out of 10.”

Jason, on the other hand, thinks "Horizon" is nearly above reproach and is shocked anyone has critiques.

“I am the greatest movie critic in the history of movie critics. I want the audience to disregard Shameka and Kevin when I tell you this is a great classic movie,” he says.

Black pastor preaches the gospel of Kamala Harris

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg?id=52549203&width=1200&height=800&coordinates=0,0,300,0 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg%3Fid%3D52549203%26width%3D1200%26height%3D800%26coordinates%3D0%2C0%2C300%2C0%22%7D" expand=1]

No place is safe from identity politics, not even the church — and this was confirmed in video footage of a pastor pleading with his congregation to make Kamala Harris the next president.

“Now you understand that it ain’t about Joe Biden. It’s about the fact that they also know that if Joe Biden gets re-elected in November at his age and stage, he probably won’t stay in the presidency for another four years,” the pastor said.

“And if he doesn’t, guess who emerges back to the seat of the presidency? Another African-American, and this time it’s a sister who went to Howard University,” he continued, adding, “I need about 50 people to stand on your feet to say, that’s intelligence.”

The pastor went on to explain that if Harris wins, they can “reclaim” DEI, critical race theory, and “put our content back in textbooks to teach the truth about a racist history in America.”

He then said that if that doesn’t happen, they’ll be forced to “go back to the plantation.”

Jason Whitlock and Delano Squires are troubled by the performance.

“Everything about it was bad. The preoccupation with the politics of the day is bad. No mention of Jesus Christ, no mentions of sin or the cross or redemption or grace or forgiveness,” Squires tells Whitlock.

“We’re to the point where a significant portion of the black community can only think of the world — one, in terms of race, two, in terms of slavery,” he adds, calling it “deeply, deeply disturbing.”

Not only is the obsession with race a net negative for the black community, but Whitlock points out that they’re worshipping someone who doesn’t live up to their own standards.

“Acting like Kamala Harris is Harriet Tubman and, or hell, even Oprah Winfrey — she’s Indian and something else, and she’s married to a white man,” Whitlock says.

What do Pride Month and the 'Hawk Tuah' girl have in common?

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg?id=52540412&width=1200&height=800&coordinates=0,0,300,0 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg%3Fid%3D52540412%26width%3D1200%26height%3D800%26coordinates%3D0%2C0%2C300%2C0%22%7D" expand=1]

Like the rainbow, the alphabet mafia has claimed the month of June for itself, coining it “Pride Month” and using those 30 days to commit acts of debauchery that should absolutely outrage everyone.

“The LGBTQIA+ silent P crowd – they went nuts. ... They did some of the most perverted public stuff you will ever, ever see,” says Jason Whitlock, adding that he can’t even play some of the footage from Pride Month events because it’s too “obscene.”

Every year, it seems the public promiscuity and child grooming grows ever more extreme during Pride Month. News outlets — especially conservative ones — feature cover story after cover story documenting the latest Pride Month debacle. Social media viralizes every video from the wokest cities’ parades and events. People obsess over the depravity that’s come to characterize the month of June.

But Jason sees some hypocrisy.

“None of us seem outraged when it's heterosexual promiscuity being showcased [and] celebrated — when it's being used to groom young children into heterosexual promiscuity and perversion and depraved behavior,” he says, pointing to the “Hawk Tuah” girl who’s gone viral on the internet for a sexually explicit answer she gave in a street interview.

The Truth About ‘Hawk Tuah Girl' & the Pride Month Debauchery | Ep 729youtu.be

The comment went mega viral and now “Hawk Tuah,” otherwise known as Hailey Welch, is “a social media sensation” — so much so that she was even brought on stage to sing alongside country superstar Zach Bryan at a concert in Nashville.

Jason is disturbed at the flagrant double standard.

“This is just another example of the hypocrisy and the foolishness of those of us that are heterosexual,” he says. “We think we can make our heterosexual identity our most important identity and the one that we share with the world.”

“We think that gay people won't look and say, ‘Well look at the heterosexuals — they've normalized centering, celebrating, [and] promoting their sexual lust, their sexual perversion, [and] their lack of sexual discipline,' and so the gay crowd, the LGBTQIA+, they want to be normal just like the heterosexual crowd,” he explains.

“Heterosexuals — we have pride year: 365 days a year we stuff our sexual lust down everyone's throat,” Jason criticizes, noting that “you can't turn on a movie ... [or] a TV show without seeing heterosexual sex and lust and immorality.”

“If we're going to celebrate Hawk Tuah girl, Kim Kardashian, [and] Sexyy Red, if we're going to celebrate our sexual identity, why shouldn't they get a month to do it?” he asks rhetorically, pointing out that parents who allow their children to watch Netflix, Amazon Prime, and other streaming services unmonitored are as guilty as the parents taking their children to Pride events.

“We did this.”

WNBA launches anti-Caitlin Clark propaganda campaign

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg?id=52537084&width=1245&height=700&coordinates=0,0,0,0 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg%3Fid%3D52537084%26width%3D1245%26height%3D700%26coordinates%3D0%2C0%2C0%2C0%22%7D" expand=1]

Jason Whitlock has defended basketball superstar Caitlin Clark through all the controversy she was embroiled in during her college career at the University of Iowa. And even though he’s not the biggest fan of the WNBA, he’s still got Clark’s back as she navigates the highly political terrain of women’s professional basketball.

“The WNBA has a problem with box office; they want to focus everyone's attention on box score because they don't like the person who's bringing the box office … bringing the crowd, selling tickets, driving television ratings,” he tells Steve Kim.

“Caitlin Clark is box office. The WNBA has suffered from a lack of box office. Caitlin Clark is clearly the most valuable player in the history of the WNBA,” Jason concludes, adding that she should obviously win Rookie of the Year.

However, the WNBA’s prioritization of box score (and perhaps certain political factors) have led to its promotion of the Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese above Clark.

“Angel Reese — she's making history! She's got 10 straight double doubles. This is a new record,” says Jason, mocking the WNBA for drawing attention to Reese.

“Who has the record even in the NBA?” he continues, pointing out that “no one cares” about double doubles stats, as “it’s a distinction, not a record.”

According to Steve, it’s crystal clear what’s happening here. “There is an agenda to make sure that [Caitlin Clark] does not get that award.”

“They’re going to try,” agrees Jason. However, chances are “Indiana is going to have five to eight more victories than the Chicago Sky. That's going to be hard to overcome.”

And more importantly, “there's one thing the WNBA has needed: box office.”

“The only numbers that count [are the] sellout crowds everywhere [and] the TV ratings,” and the fact of the matter is, “people want to see Caitlin Clark.”

Cam Newton CRIES racism over Tom Brady’s TV Career

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg?id=52481926&width=600&height=600&coordinates=0,0,840,0 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg%3Fid%3D52481926%26width%3D600%26height%3D600%26coordinates%3D0%2C0%2C840%2C0%22%7D" expand=1]

Cam Newton may be a rich and famous NFL player, but that’s not stopping him from blaming racism on why he’s not as successful as some of his friends.

“I’m always going to tell Tom Brady, Tony Romo, Greg Olson, Troy Aikman, Matt Ryan, to go get the bag,” Cam Newton said, asking, “How in the world are they the only ones that’s getting access to these types of contracts?”

“Somebody told me, they said, 'Well, you don’t get these contracts because you’re not polished yet,'” he continued. “What type of media training did Tony Romo have before he just popped up commentating the game?”

“Tom Brady, same thing,” Newton added. “How can we get other minorities to skip the line, too?”

Newton often wears his dreads sticking through whatever hat he’s wearing like an out of control plant — so, Jason Whitlock isn’t surprised he’s not getting the same contracts as the others.

“Cam Newton has a tree sticking out of the top of his head, and he’s wondering why he can’t get a broadcasting job,” Whitlock says, adding, “and he’s taking pot shots at Tony Romo, and you know Tony Romo.”

Romo was an NFL quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, and Troy Aikman who was also mentioned in Newton’s rant, won three Super Bowls with the Cowboys himself.

And Tom Brady is a story all his own.

Will Luka Dončić’s 'case of the flops' cost the Mavs the NBA championship tonight?

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg?id=52457685&width=1245&height=700&coordinates=0,0,0,0 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg%3Fid%3D52457685%26width%3D1245%26height%3D700%26coordinates%3D0%2C0%2C0%2C0%22%7D" expand=1]

The Dallas Mavericks have now lost three consecutive games to the Boston Celtics in the 2024 NBA finals. If Boston wins tonight, the hopes of an NBA championship, which hasn’t happened since 2011, are dashed for Mavs fans.

NBA sports writer Brian Windhorst pointed at the Mav’s all-star point guard, Luka Dončić, as the reason the team has not prevailed against the Celtics.

“His defensive performance is unacceptable. He is a hole on the court ... [The Celtics] are ahead in this series because they have attacked [Dončić] defensively,” Windhorst reported, adding that Dončić is also “costing the team because of how he treats the officials.”

Windhorst even went as far as saying that Dončić is “the reason why the Mavericks are not going to win” the series.

“There were some uncalled fouls in that game that could’ve gone Luka’s way,” says Blaze Media’s sports expert Jason Whitlock. However, he also acknowledges that the superstar is guilty of “flopping,” “[baiting the referees],” and “trying to draw all these fouls.”

“Luka Dončić has an acute case of the flops,” he says, playing a clip of the athlete’s dramatic tumbles from the last game.

Jay Skapinac, the voice behind Skap Attack agrees.

“Luka came into the series with a lot of shine on him,” he tells Jason. “It looked like he was getting ready to insinuate himself into that best player in the world type conversation in my estimation.”

However, in light of the last three games, “there is no denying that Luca has been absolutely pitiful throughout the course of this series.”

What’s strange is that “many would take a look at just the raw box score and say 30 points per game, nine rebounds a game, six assists, two and a half steals, 47% and think what a great series this guy's playing.”

According to Jay, however, Luka is “unmitigated trash whenever it matters most in the fourth quarters,” which is evidenced by the fact that he’s shot “three of 15 in the fourth quarters” of the last three matches and was “loafing up and down the court on defense.”

“This guy is the European LeBron James,” he criticizes.

To hear the rest of the conversation and predictions for tonight’s match, watch the clip below.

Jason Whitlock DESTROYS Joy Reid and Jemele Hill for Caitlin Clark HATE

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg?id=52448326&width=2000&height=1500&coordinates=0,0,480,0 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg%3Fid%3D52448326%26width%3D2000%26height%3D1500%26coordinates%3D0%2C0%2C480%2C0%22%7D" expand=1]

MSNBC’s Joy Reid and fellow race-baiter Jemele Hill — whom Jason Whitlock calls "two delusional black queens" — made some recent comments about WNBA rookie sensation Caitlin Clark.

Of course, these comments were as bigoted as they consistently claim others to be.

“Somebody very smart said to me recently that the challenge with women’s basketball is that most of the great players are black, but most of the stars are white,” Reid said to Hill. “And like you said, if there were charter flights, Britney Griner would not have ended up in the gulag, right?”

Whitlock is not a fan.

Not only does he note that Reid ridiculously blamed Griner’s arrest on the WNBA not having charter flights, but that both Reid and Hill are “trying desperately to look like white women.”

“Why do I bring this up? Because when I talk about bigotry over business, the bigotry and the hostility stems from [the fact that] these women hate themselves and hate that they’re not white women,” Whitlock says. “Why else would you put on some cheap wig, some horse's hair, over the top of your head to look like a white woman?”

"They're so full of jealousy and rage towards white women. Anybody that would hop on TV day after day with these ridiculous wigs on is telling you everything you need to know about their mentality as it relates to white women," he adds.

Reid then brought up the “marketability” of Caitlin Clark.

“This is a league that is largely, as you said, black women. It’s also largely LGBTQ. She’s a white, heterosexual woman. And so, if you’re trying to get white dads to go spend their money and buy season tickets, she seems like a marketing opportunity. How much of it is that?” Reid asks Hill.

“I don’t know why people find that to be controversial,” Hill answers, noting that while Clark is talented, “it helps that she’s white, straight, and from Iowa.”

“So, when you say that Caitlin Clark’s whiteness and the fact that she’s straight plays a role, underlining a role, in her popularity, that’s not a diss to Caitlin Clark. It’s just simply America,” she adds.

Again, Whitlock finds it interesting that while discussing Clark’s marketability due to the color of her skin, both Hill and Reid have altered their appearance to seem more white. Both of them have significantly lightened their hair to appear blonde.

“Here’s two black women, dressed as white women to be more marketable on TV. This is just facts,” Whitlock comments.

Ryan Garcia arrested; posts bizarre rant calling himself ‘Ryan Spears’

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg?id=52442120&width=1200&height=800&coordinates=300,0,0,0 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg%3Fid%3D52442120%26width%3D1200%26height%3D800%26coordinates%3D300%2C0%2C0%2C0%22%7D" expand=1]

Ryan Garcia is once again the talk of the boxing world — but not for anything that happened in the ring.

The 25-year-old boxer was arrested on a charge of felony vandalism at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Beverly Hills, before being transported to a local hospital for medical care.

“I’m worried :( I have to be at this weird hospital and they are trying to give me medicine and they have me on a hold for who knows how long, they will determine,” Garcia wrote in a post on X.

Garcia finished the post asking his followers to pray for him and wrote “God help me.” In another post, Garcia compared himself to Britney Spears and called himself “Ryan Spears.”

“Whatever is going on here with Ryan Garcia?” Jason Whitlock asks, dumbfounded.

“I mean, think about what has happened since he beat Devin Hayne,” Steve Kim starts. “He did knock him out, he did knock him down, three times, won that fight decisively in what I believe is a tainted victory.”

“Fails a drug test, and then he goes on all these conspiracy theories, him and his father, old Henry, my old buddy. They blame Victor Conte, they blame VADA, they blame a supplement company. All of that is falling apart,” Kim explains.

While Garcia’s antics have pushed people like Kim away, they’ve drawn others in.

“They were able to manipulate certain members of the media and the YouTube community who are basically falling in line because he’s useful to them, because he brings in hits,” Kim says.

Not too long ago, Garcia had become vocal about his mental health issues and claimed he wanted to become an advocate.

“But then, when you bring up his mental health for this past fight, he’ll tell you, ‘No, no, no, I’m not crazy, you’re not allowed to do any evaluations of me.’ This was all an act. So, we’re talking about a mental health advocate who mocked his own mental health in the name of promoting a fight,” Kim explains, adding, “Get your story straight.”
