To paraphrase Michelle Obama: When they go low, Jason Whitlock goes lower. The media personality is known for saying the most incendiary and asinine things about Black folks, and now he is throwing in some antisemtism as well. That is, until he got caught.
Whitlock promoted an episode of “Fearless with Jason Whitlock,” recorded last month, in which he interviews Catholic author E. Michael Jones— who is know for his extreme and antisemitic views.
In the promo for the interview, Jones managed to outdo his own daftness by claiming that Jewish people “took over the Blacks early on” and “created a plantation for Black people known as sexual liberation.”
Jones also claimed that there are “457 Jews who are running the Biden administration. They’re the people who are in charge. OK? We have to identify these people.” Not only did Whitlock not chime in, he nodded along like a child hearing a bedtime story.
“I get it, and I can’t say that I disagree,” Whitlock said.
Of course, that pissed a lot of people off, and when Whitlock got wind of it, he decided to delete the promo for the interview. Then came the false-apology.
“I should have been better prepared,” Whitlock said regarding his interview with Jones. “That’s where I blamed myself. After the interview, I did start, like, looking around and seeing like, ‘Oh, man, this guy’s got some real controversy to him.’ I don’t regret having him on. I regret not being as prepared as I should have been.”
Right...
When Jones learned of the promo being removed from a report by The Daily Beast, he took to X/Twitter to write: “Put yo chain on, N**ga! The Daily Beast yanks Jason Whitlock’s chain, proving what I said on his show about Jewish control of blacks.”
What Whitlock seemingly overlooked is that supporting bigots does not preclude you from their hate. Perhaps it’s time to yank Whitlock’s Black card as well.
