Michelle Obama claims black women need permission to 'articulate pain'



Michelle Obama has taken the uncommon path of a former first lady and started a podcast where she talks about the important issues like how black women think they need permission to express pain.

And it’s every bit as insufferable as one might expect.

“We grew up with women who weren’t voicing the pain and the burden,” Obama told her brother, Craig Robinson, and Taraji P. Henson. “They made it look easy. And when you make stuff look easy, people assume that you must like this, it’s okay with you.”

“We don’t articulate as black women — our pain — because it’s almost like nobody ever gave us permission to do that,” she continued, before Henson interrupted, asking, “And does anyone care?”


“If we knew, I think we would care,” Robinson answered, before Obama continued waxing poetic.

“We have to ask ourselves, the men in our lives, is ‘Why wait to be asked?’ It seems like what we go through is pretty obvious. I mean, maybe we’re not complaining, but we’re actually living life out loud.”

Obama went on to lament that black women are “so easily labeled as angry and bitter” while white women are viewed as “lightness” and have “an ability to be in this world and see what’s going on.”

“Are black women struggling to talk about their pain? Are they not free to do that in America?” Jason Whitlock of “Jason Whitlock Harmony” asks co-host Shemeka Michelle.

“Initially I thought, ‘This is so stupid,’ because that’s all we hear and see is the pain of black women. That’s all they talk about. And I found it ironic that she was sitting there talking to Taraji P. Henson, who has complained over and over again. She pretty much tanked ‘The Color Purple’ because all she was doing was complaining,” Michelle says.

“Maybe black women aren’t articulating ‘their pain’ in the correct way, because everytime I turn around I’m seeing some type of video where they’re tearing up the McDonald's, or trying to run over their baby daddy, or fighting in a Walmart in their pajama pants and their bonnets,” Michelle continues.

“So maybe she has a point that they don’t ‘articulate’ their pain, because they’re busy showing out and acting like untamed gorillas,” she adds.

LeBron James ‘dolls up’ for Barbie, EMASCULATES his brand



If the trend of men fighting to play in women’s sports wasn’t enough, men’s sports stars are now being immortalized as Barbie dolls — and LeBron James is first on the list.

Mattel has announced that the NBA superstar is officially its first-ever Barbie “Kenbassador.”

“As a young kid, I was fortunate to have role models who not only inspired me but also showed me what’s possible through hard work and dedication,” James said in a statement about the partnership. “Now, as an adult, I understand how vital it is for young people to have positive figures to look up to.”

“That’s why partnering with Barbie to release the LeBron James Kenbassadors doll is such an honor. It’s an opportunity to recognize the powerful impact of role models who instill confidence, inspire dreams, and show kids that they, too, can achieve greatness,” he concluded.


Jason Whitlock and Shemeka Michelle of “Fearless” aren’t too concerned with the partnership, but they aren’t certain it’s a good move.

“I think he’s a decent role model for young black kids, and that depends on whether or not he was actually at those Diddy parties,” Michelle tells Whitlock. “That’s going to muddy up everything."

“This LeBron doll will probably be a house husband,” she adds.

“I think that if LeBron’s brand were as strong as it was supposed to be, they would have done some doll through Nike and some LeBron James action figure through Nike,” Whitlock says. “But because his brand isn’t that strong, he’s partnered with Barbie.”

“He’s trying to somewhat leech off their audience and their brand,” he continues. “He can’t get there; he’s so polarized his own brand that he needs to partner with Barbie. And it sounds like I’m being hyper negative towards LeBron, but I’m just telling you the facts.”

Whitlock believes that James’ brand isn’t reaching as many as it would “if he had chosen the Michael Jordan lane” and stayed out of politics.

“But he’s been out here trying an MLK Ultra,” Whitlock adds.

Black men don’t want to go to historically black colleges and universities? Here's why



The New York Times recently published an article highlighting a growing gender gap at historically black colleges and universities — revealing that only 19% of students enrolled at Howard University are black men.

“I found the story fascinating,” Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” tells Shemeka Michelle. “I did find it frustrating, though, because in every subtle way they could, the drop in enrollment of black men, ‘It’s Donald Trump’s fault, it’s the Republicans' fault, it’s conservatives' fault.’”

Michelle did a little research herself and found that while the number of black men attending HBCUs has dropped, the number of black men with a bachelor’s degree has increased from 19% to 22%.


“So, maybe they just aren’t going to HBCUs,” Michelle says, adding, “but when I read this article, I could understand it. As I was reading it, all I got from it was, ‘Are you gay? If not, come to an HBCU and we’ll fix that.’”

“It was just like they want to make these men soft, and I don’t understand what the obsession is,” she continues, adding, “Well, I guess it is feminism, but there’s like this obsession to make men into women.”

“So if they’re skipping out on college, I’m all for it, as long as they’re doing something else,” she says, noting that of course, the article also made sure to include pro-feminist chirps from women on the campus.

“That was frustrating when I saw them talking about DEI and how women run the campus. I just don’t like the idea that men should be subservient to women, and I feel that if you go to college, that’s what we’re kind of pushing on black men and men in general nowadays,” she explains.

“We’re teaching young men how to handle their emotions like women, and I don’t like it,” she adds.

Did Jasmine Crockett just SCOLD Byron Donalds for marrying a white woman?



Isn’t it ironic that the Democratic Party, which is largely built on a platform of “anti-racism,” has so many racists in it?

Take Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), for example.

On a recent episode of “The Breakfast Club” with Charlamagne tha God, Crockett insinuated that Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) made a mistake when he married his white wife, Erika Donalds.

Jason Whitlock and “Fearless” contributor Shemeka Michelle dive into the scandal.

“If we continue to put people into office — and that even means some of our skin folk who definitely are not our kinfolk, such as Byron Donalds — who are going to continue to say that, like, I mean the fact that you sitting around talking about life was better under Jim Crow,” Crockett began.

“Is this because you don't understand history or literally it's because you married a white woman and so you think that that whitewashed you?” she continued.

“You couldn’t even be married to a white woman under Jim Crow,” Charlamagne added.

“Correct! ... So I’m like bruh, what is it you talking about? Like what are you saying? Like he just out here, you know, I feel like they give him his talking points and he’s like, ‘Yes, master, I got it,”’ Crockett retorted.

“This is a leftist who's expressing some racial animus, which seems to go against what leftists say they stand for,” says Whitlock.

However, her jab at interracial relationships is doubly hypocritical. Crockett was a loud Kamala Harris supporter, but Harris’ white Jewish husband was never a sore point.

“Ketanji Brown Jackson, I believe she's married to a white Jewish man. Haven't heard Jasmine Crockett talk about that,” adds Whitlock.

“Is Jasmine Crockett holding Byron Donalds to a standard that she doesn't hold leftist politicians to?” he asks.

“Absolutely, and it shows that she's so illogical and just irrational. … This is what they do; they just spew trash talking points that make absolutely no sense because if this was the case, then as you just stated, she would have to hold Kamala and Ketanji Brown [and] Don Lemon … to the same standard, and she doesn't,” says Shemeka.

Crockett’s attack on Donalds, she says, is “because Byron Donalds is not going along with the everyday okie-doke black talking points that they like to push on black people.”

She also condemns Crockett for claiming that Donalds lauded the Jim Crow era as better times.

“That whole Jim Crow is taken completely out of context. … If you listen to the entire thing, that's not what he was saying,” says Shemeka.

Michelle Obama ‘COMES OUT’ with new hairdo



Michelle Obama has unveiled a new hairstyle — which features braids and three large buns down the middle of her head — and the choice is interesting to say the least.

“I love braids,” Shemeka Michelle tells Jason Whitlock on “Fearless.” “The only reason I don’t have them right now is because, you know, eggs are $10. But I don’t understand why her stylist put her braids in this style. Clearly they just decided, ‘We’re going to put it up like if she was seven years old.’”

“I don’t know what her stylist was thinking, but she needs to be fired,” she adds.

Whitlock himself calls it the “Loc Dog” hairstyle, referencing the character from the movie “Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood.”


But it’s not just the hairstyle that has Whitlock and Michelle a little confused.

“I look at these women on the left, and a lot of them feel like in order to be respected, to be heard, they have to dress like men. I don’t get it. I don’t understand it. It looks like she has on two shirts and then a men’s sports coat,” Michelle says.

“If I had to give her a grade, that’s a fail. And it looks really, really bad. I’m trying not to laugh,” she adds.

Whitlock wonders if it could all be a little deeper than just a bad stylist.

“I mean, could this potentially be like someone is intentionally sabotaging the Obamas, or is Michelle Obama just doing this, ‘Hey, look at me’ stuff to mock, and I don’t know, it almost feels like coming out of the closet,” he says.

“I do think that there are people in on blurring the lines, so she could be one of these people,” Michelle agrees.

Don Lemon SLAMS black MAGA supporters: 'Can't be rational'



As Don Lemon fades into obscurity, he can’t help but make a few ridiculous comments on his way out. Most recently, it was in the form of shocking claims on Bill Maher’s podcast about black Trump supporters.

“Not all black Republicans, but when I see a black MAGA person who is carrying Donald Trump’s water and they know that he’s lying, it is the shortest line to the front,” Lemon told Maher on his podcast.

“If you become a black MAGA person, it’s like, ‘Whoa, let’s book this person, let’s put him on television,’” Lemon continued.


“So you don’t think you can be a sincere black MAGA person?” Maher asked.

“I don’t think that you can be a rational MAGA, be black and be a rational MAGA person. I think you can be black and be a Republican,” Lemon responded.

“I think they would find that very insulting,” Maher replied.

“Well, I mean, the truth is often insulting,” Lemon said.

Jason Whitlock and Shemeka Michelle of “Fearless” wouldn’t expect any less from Lemon, noting that it's because he believes there was no time that America was "great" in the past.

"He's arguing like, 'Hey, how can you black people be MAGA, make America great again, because you're now saying that there was some time in the past when America was great.' And Don Lemon completely rejects that and thinks that we should all think that."

"Because if we go back, there was a time when same-sex marriage was illegal, and he's a gay person," he adds.

First gay president? Obama EXPOSED as ‘a plant’ for the LGBTQ agenda



When Barack Obama was elected to the presidency in 2008, the black community saw him as a beacon of hope.

However, after eight years in office, it became apparent that he did significantly more for the LGBTQ community than for black people — and Dr. Umar Johnson isn’t letting anyone forget it.

“One of the reasons Barack Obama was made president is so he could normalize the LGBTQ agenda in the black community,” Johnson said in an interview on “The Sy Ari Not Sorry Show.” “Think about it. If George Bush tried to push homosexuality in the black community, we would have rejected him.”

“If Donald Trump tried to push homosexuality in the black community, we would have rejected him. You could only normalize that through a black face. Obama was made president to make it normal. When Barack Obama became president, homosexuality was not a mainstream issue, nor was it accepted as a mainstream alternative to the traditional family,” he continued.


“By the time he left office in ‘08, they were completely running everything,” Johnson said, recalling that he was canceled from doing his usual commencement speeches because he didn’t agree with LGBTQ messaging in general.

“What does LGBT have to do with my 10-minute speech motivating these 12th graders?” he asked, adding, “So I saw how not agreeing with the lifestyle could limit your opportunities in life.”

Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” couldn’t agree more, calling Obama a “plant for the LGBTQIA+ silent p crowd.”

“I just have to tip my hat and say, hey man, I appreciate you saying that, because that breakdown of the consequences of not being on board with the LGBTQIA+ silent p alphabet mafia agenda, that’s what no one ever wants to talk about,” Whitlock says.

“I’m as toxic and as nuclear as you could possibly be, and it does cost you opportunities, and you sit around and you wonder why Stephen A. Smith or some of these other people, they always tip their hat and bow to the transgenders and the gay deal and all this other stuff,” he continues.

“‘Cause they know that’s the only way to keep the money flowing,” he adds.

Elon Musk channels Nick Cannon in baby-mama drama



Conservatives all over have rushed to congratulate Ashley St. Clair for her announcement that she is having Elon Musk’s 13th child and has been keeping it a secret — but they’re now all being called out on their hypocrisy.

“I agree with everyone that are coming down on conservatives, because they did not keep that same energy with, let’s say, Nick Cannon,” Shemeka Michelle tells Jason Whitlock on “Fearless.”

“It’s the same thing. If Elon is not going to be in the home with this child, as he’s not with his other children, it’s the same scenario,” Michelle continues. “If he’s not there to actually be a father, then conservatives have been lying this entire time about their thoughts on the traditional nuclear family.”

-


Whitlock is in agreement, telling Michelle that St. Clair’s announcement “didn’t sit right” with him.

“I read that, and knowing what I know, like, well, hold on, man. This ain’t been no secret; this has been bun in the oven,” Whitlock says. “My suspicion was that the rest of the story would be far more complicated than ‘Oh, I’m just out here trying to protect the privacy of my baby by announcing something about my 5-month-old baby who doesn’t have a Twitter account.’”

“It’s not about what I feel,” he continues. “It’s about what God feels. I think all the same stupid stuff as everybody else, but God has a ruling on premarital sex. God has a ruling on marriage and children, and all that violates all that.”

As for the conservatives who revealed their hypocrisy by congratulating St. Clair on her announcement, Michelle believes they were just “trying to look virtuous.”

“Which is why I’m okay with people ridiculing conservatives, because like you said, they could have remained quiet. Instead, they tossed their values out of the window to try and kiss Elon’s butt. And it’s like, if you call yourself a Christian, God is still watching,” she adds.

MSNBC forum EXPLODES into CHAOS within the Democrat Party



MSNBC hosted a DNC leadership event at Georgetown, and it was — to say the very least — an absolute mess.

One candidate for DNC chair, Dr. Quintessa Hathaway, sang a horribly out-of-tune hymn to the audience. It went, “Fight, when your government is doing you wrong, you fight.”

Another candidate, Jeanna Repass, stood in front of the audience and said, “Hey, I am speaking, and I would love your attention. There is a black woman at this podium, and I deserve your attention.”

More footage revealed protesters shouting and attendees being escorted out, leaving Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” of the belief that the Democrats are imploding before our eyes — and it may take them years to recover.


“They have no man to take control of this situation. They’ve put a bald-headed woman in charge, and then the little she-man, and then the red-headed priestess Jen Psaki. It was chaotic,” Whitlock says.

“This seemed like a 'Saturday Night Live' skit, and instead it’s the Democratic Party. It’s funny, but it’s not funny, because this party somehow represents half of America, and half of America is comfortable with this group of clowns representing them,” he continues.

Co-host Shemeka Michelle couldn’t agree more.

“And most black people support the Democrat Party, and we know it’s, what, like 90% of black women that support the Democrat Party. So if fat black women are the most delusional, I would say bald black women have to be second in command,” Michelle says.

“It was a joke, Jason. When I saw the woman start out singing, I fall out laughing every time I see it. Because what are you doing? How is this part of your leading an entire committee? I thought it was really funny, but it just shows that they haven’t learned anything from this election,” she continues.

“They keep saying that it was because she was a woman, so it’s misogyny, or it’s race, because she was a so-called black woman. No, it’s the theatrics that you all have with your party. The foolishness, the 72 genders, you know, not knowing what a woman is. All of this is why you all are losing,” she adds.

Charlamagne tha God shockingly speaks common sense on ‘The View’



Charlamagne tha God isn’t Jason Whitlock’s favorite radio host, but his recent appearance on “The View” pleasantly surprised the voice of “Fearless.”

“I found this fascinating and interesting because he actually had a little common sense when he was on ‘The View,’ and I’m wondering who put him up to this, who greenlit this, who allowed him to go on ‘The View’ and talk some logical sense into Whoopi Goldberg," Whitlock says.

“A lot of this conversation about President Biden getting criticized from both sides of the aisle for pardoning his son Hunter after repeatedly saying he would never do it, and a lot of people are saying that it’s hypocritical, as if the other side doesn’t do it,” Joy Behar said to Charlamagne and the rest of the panel.

“I think all of the criticism is valid, because you know, Democrats stand on this moral high ground all the time, and they act so self-righteous. The reality is he didn’t have to say anything in regards to whether or not his son wanted to be pardoned,” Charlamagne responded. “He could’ve said, ‘Hey man, I’m not focused on that right now.’”


“But since they were calling Trump a threat to democracy and they were saying that nobody’s above the law,” he continued, “that’s what they were running on.”

“He didn’t have to volunteer that lie to begin with,” he added, before Whoopi Goldberg took her opportunity to jump in.

“My question is, what is it that makes people flip the f*** out with Joe?” Goldberg asked.

“Democrats are flipping out with Joe because Democrats believe that they don’t represent what he’s currently representing. But that’s just not true. That’s why I say they stand on this moral high ground that simply does not exist,” Charlamagne replied.

While Whitlock and Shemeka Michelle agree with what Charlamagne said, they don’t believe the exchange was organic.

“I feel like if he was really an adversary and really was up there saying something totally different and shocking to them, something that they hadn't agreed with, and especially Joy, they would have been a little bit more hostile towards him,” Michelle tells Whitlock. “So I just think this was all planned and it just didn’t come across as genuine at all.”
