Black Americans destroy Whoopi Goldberg’s claim that life for blacks is ‘the same’ as for Iranians



The women of “The View,” who lead arguably some of the most privileged lives in the world, got into a heated debate this week when co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin elaborated on the many human rights violations perpetrated under the Ayatollah’s regime in Iran.

Those include executions of gay people and the imprisonment of women who dare to venture outside without their hair covered.

“Iranians literally throw gay people off of buildings,” Griffin said, before Goldberg laid into her.

"Let’s not do that, because if we start with that, we have been known in this country to tie gay folks to the car. Listen, I'm sorry, they used to just keep hanging black people," Goldberg said.

"In the year 2025 in the United States, it is nothing like if I step foot wearing this outfit into Iran right now," Griffin said.


"It is the same," Goldberg responded, and when Griffin attempted to argue, Goldberg responded, “Not if you’re black.”

BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock of "Jason Whitlock Harmony" couldn’t be less surprised that Goldberg holds such a view, and neither can his panel.

“Delusion is a stronghold, and oftentimes when you are too well fed for too long, you forget what actual hunger feels like,” BlazeTV contributor Delano Squires comments.

“My initial thought, and it’s not my strongest, but why is this on TV? Who is funding this? This is a level of delusion and a conversation so far removed from reality. Why is this on television, and why are corporations and advertisers supporting this?” Whitlock chimes in.

“It just frustrates me because it is allowed to be on TV when it’s so far-fetched and ridiculous. I don’t, as a black person, walk around every day feeling like I even compare to these women or people in these other countries, and Whoopi knows this, and she understands this, but yet she’s allowed to push this type of rhetoric,” Shemeka Michelle agrees.

“So for Whoopi to be able to push this narrative on national TV, ABC should be ashamed of themselves,” she 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.

Chicago mayor claims black people ‘are the most generous people on the planet’



In a viral video, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) decided to clap back at critics who accuse him of only hiring black people by claiming that black people are “the most generous people on the planet.”

“Some detractors that will push back on me and say, ‘You know the only thing that the mayor talks about is the hiring of black people.’ No, what I’m saying is when you hire our people, we always look out for everybody else. We are the most generous people on the planet,” Johnson said in an interview.

“So business and economic neighborhood development, the mayor is a black woman. Department of planning development is a black woman. Infrastructure deputy mayor is a black woman. Chief operations officer is a black man. Budget director is a black woman. Senior adviser is a black man,” he continued.

BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock of “Jason Whitlock Harmony” is not only unimpressed with Johnson’s statements, but worries this will only make things worse for black people.


“This kind of conversation and talk, very problematic, and sets the stage for white bigots, white nationalists, to get into office, to get into positions of power,” Whitlock says.

BlazeTV contributor Delano Squires is “not surprised.”

“This is Brandon Johnson’s MO. He makes Lori Lightfoot look like a fairly reasonable public executive, because if there ever was a person who personified racial idolatry, I think it’s Brandon Johnson,” Squires tells Whitlock and BlazeTV contributor Shemeka Michelle.

“It seems to be the main thing that he likes to talk about, so I’m not surprised that he did this,” Squires continues, adding, “It’s not good coming from a public executive, and it’s the type of thing that casts doubt on the competency of the people that he hires.”

Squires also notes that in the interview, Johnson didn’t name any of his hires. Rather, he simply described them by the color of their skin.

“Which, again, goes to show you the depth of his thinking. But it’s the type of thing that’ll call into question their qualifications, because people will say, ‘Oh, all Mayor Johnson wants is somebody who has the right skin color,'” he explains.

“This is not the way you lead a city, and it’s not the way you lead a city in 21st-century America. This reminds me of how, maybe, you know, the old Irish or Italian politicians might have talked in the turn of the century when this sort of racial patronage was much more common,” he continues.

“This is the type of thing that can lead to a serious sort of backlash that I don’t think is good for anyone,” he adds.

‘These people are demons’: Day 1 of the Diddy trial has exposed rap culture



Rap mogul and Bad Boy Records founder Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial has finally begun.

The rapper has pleaded not guilty to one count of racketeering conspiracy; two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion; and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

“Opening statements from both the prosecution and the defense, some testimony from two, I believe, male strippers/escorts. It was pretty salacious,” Jason Whitlock of “Jason Whitlock Harmony” comments.

While the trial and its contents thus far have been disturbing, Whitlock believes it exposes not just Diddy, but rap culture in general.


“My first and initial takeaway is that this society that we’ve built, where entertainers — and particularly in the rap music world — but in the music industry in general, we shower millions upon millions of dollars on entertainers, and there’s a level of power that comes along with showering that much money on entertainers,” he explains.

“And this is the issue with showering all this great wealth on athletes and entertainers. We’re not showering it on scientists and inventors and doctors and people that contribute,” he continues. “We’re showering it on people that entertain. And so now they spend all their time trying to entertain themselves — a lot of times sexually.”

“And so none of this is surprising,” he says. “And when you build a particular form of music that’s based off of prison culture and prison values, what do you think they’re going to do with all this money and power you’ve handed over to them?”

They’re not going to use that money and power to build homes for the poor or serve their communities.

“No, they’re going to use their money to buy gold chains, to buy sex slaves, and to host lavish drug-filled drunken parties,” Whitlock says.

“Anybody that wants to deny the wickedness, the evilness, the debauchery, the depravity, the nihilism of this music and the people that they’re putting up as, ‘Hey, take these people seriously. These are your leaders,’” he continues. “These are criminals, unrepentant criminals, and they’re degenerates.”

“They’ve normalized a behavior that’s demonic, and just following the early parts of this trial and what comes out of it, it just reconfirms in my mind, these people need to be called demons. That’s what they are,” he adds.

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.
