Sunken Suck-Up Jason Whitlock Blames Tyre Nichols' Murder On Gang Violence & Single Black Women, Twi

Giving Uncle Ruckus a run for his money, Jason Whitlock is offering a soft-shoed, tap-dancing take about Tyre Nichols' murder by Memphis police.

Shortly after Memphis officials released the footage from the fatal beating on Friday night, Whitlock appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight and with white hood heroics that would give Clayton Bigsby a run for his money, Whitlock somehow blamed police brutality on gangs and single Black women.
Holy shit. Tucker Carlson's guest just said the beating death of Tyre Nichols is what happens when you have "young black men being supervised by a single black woman." He said this is what happens in cities "run by single black mothers" and blamed a lack of "male authority." pic.twitter.com/spysDorqMT

During the interview, it took some serious contrarian contortion to point the finger at anti-Black stereotypes instead of the inherently oppressive nature of policing That didn't stop Whitlock from going for a gold medal in mental gymnastics however. He went full Moynihan, proudly pathologizing Black people with tired tropes that don't even apply to Nichols' case. Even Carlson was impressed by the bigoted BS.
"There is a racial element. And this is a story about young Black men and their inability to treat each other in a humane way. Everybody involved in this on the street level was either 24 to 32 years old. Everybody. It was a group of young Black men, five-on-one. Looked like gang violence to me," Whitlock said, according to Mediate.

He's so close to accurately describing police departments as organized criminal organizations. It doesn't matter what race is behind the badge if they're responsible or complicit in crimes or abusing their power with few consequences. He quickly pivoted to bashing Black women, specifically single Black mothers.
"It looked like what young Black men do when they're supervised by a single Black woman. And that's what they got going on in the Memphis Police Department. They've elected some, or put some Black woman in charge of the police force, and we are getting the same kind of chaos and disunity and violence that we see in a lot of these cities run by single mothers," he continued.
3 times this man mentions single black women, but not ONE mention of absentee black fathers. Nope. Apparently we are creating people all by ourselves. No one there is biracial. #JasonWhitlock how about you put your focus on men who actually look like you to raise their fn kids. pic.twitter.com/aRZt7IpjCX

Whitlock couldn't blame Nichols, his adoring mother, or the loving stepfather who worked with him at FedEx so he took a cheap shot. Black single mothers are always convenient scapegoats for the intellectually lazy who rely on racism and misogyny to make the argument for them.
"If we want to discuss the breakdown of family that leads to disrespect for authority that causes you to resist the police and run from the police and not comply with the police, because you resist authority at all times, because there was no male authority in your home, let's have that discussion."
There it is! Whitlock couldn't resist victim-blaming when cops abuse and execute people of all races and family backgrounds. The brutal bodycam videos often show that victims often do comply or the police make it impossible by shouting conflicting orders.
White boys go into churches, supermarkets, schools, malls, and nightclubs, and violently murder innocent people.
Jason Whitlock never blamed white women for this.

When Black people tell you that you don't have to be white to uphold white supremacy, Jason Whitlock is an example of what we mean.

Even Broken Clocks Are Right Twice A Day
Whitlock started out reasonably, condemning the shameful actions of the cops caught on camera. He compared the case to the officer convicted for fatally shooting Walter Scott in the back on camera. Whitlock posted this clip to defend himself, but it doesn't make his other comments any less terrible.
Full context of what I said on Tucker Carlson: Memphis police clearly wrong/criminal & will be convicted. Media intentionally hyping to distract from govt action in Ukraine. All a reflection of pathologies produced by the matriarchal culture that plagues black communities. pic.twitter.com/NOJULxV6JR

"This is an open-and-shut case. The camera from above capture the police doing something totally illegal. The second-degree murder charges are totally warranted," Whitlock said.
"I don't get why people are protesting about. These are five Black officers. The victim is Black. The police chief is Black. The police have been fired and charged and will be convicted, I would assume, by a predominantly Black jury," he continued. "The system is going to work here."
He lobbed valid criticism at the media for sensationalizing and re-broadcasting every gruesome moment of Memphis PD's attack. It's even reasonable to blame Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn Davis, but not because she's a Black woman. (She's not even a single mother.) She deserves responsibility as a cop in charge of these killers.
The current Memphis police chief Davis was over Atlanta's RED DOG unit in 2006 when they broke into an elderly Black woman's home, shot her dozens of times & planted drugs at the scene in an attempted cover up

Davis is credited with swiftly terminating the killer cops in the recently disbanded SCORPION unit. However, she oversaw the Atlanta PD's similar Red Dog unit, which was also disbanded for police assaults and misconduct. In 2008, she was fired from the department for corruption and allegedly botching a child exploitation investigation into an Atlanta PD sergeant's husband.
Whitlock Doubled Down, Defending His Comments With "Natural Order" And "God's Agenda"
All the while the sunken sportscaster was getting dragged, he took to Twitter to try to validate his points. In particular, he doubled down on the idea of the nuclear family which consists of a two married adults and their children.
No, brother. I hate disorder and a lack of respect for the natural order God intended. #NuclearFamily https://t.co/hFYpBPPMqq
— Jason Whitlock (@WhitlockJason) January 28, 2023
If nuclear families solved all social ills, many mass murderers wouldn't get their arsenals of weapons, target practice, and hateful ideologies from their parents.
What was crazy about my comment, Gretchen? What are the benefits of communities/neighborhoods run by matriarchal, baby-mama culture? You planning to relocate your intact nuclear family into one? https://t.co/IPlUmxyFYW
— Jason Whitlock (@WhitlockJason) January 28, 2023
In Whitlock's own words, men should lead the family, but he never blames men for households he says are broken.
If this clown believed his own lies, they might actually make sense. Obviously, he knows his supporters don't need logic to fuel their hate.
Walk me through those anti-black agenda talking points? My agenda tries to maintain consistency with God's agenda, which established man-woman-child family structure as the centerpiece of faith and obedience. We're paying the consequence of the abandonment of the natural order. https://t.co/5MGST5qscB
— Jason Whitlock (@WhitlockJason) January 28, 2023
In Whitlock's willfully ignorant mind, holding together otherwise neglected families and communities is a toxic affront to God.
Look, I wish preachers would call out the insanity and corrosiveness of the baby-mama culture we've normalized. If preachers did their jobs, I wouldn't say a word. I know how screwed up I am. But this matriarchal worship is killing us.

Celebs, Politicians, Journalists & More Drag Whitlock's Audaciously Anti-Black Comments
Check out some of the reactions to Whitlock's loud and wrong rant. There are a TON including takes from Ciara, politicians, and people with enough brain cells to see past Whitlock's BS.
.@WhitlockJason As a black man to get on national tv and say something like this is irresponsible. A lot of amazing kids have come from single mothers. For you to also undermine single black women in the midst of this tragedy is so sad. This woman just lost her son! Do better!
— Ciara (@ciara) January 28, 2023
Hey @WhitlockJason, I was raised by a single Black mother, I'm now the first Black man to hold this congressional seat in US history. I also have a doctorate in education leadership and was principal of one of the top middle schools in the Bronx.

Your mother was a single BLACK WOMAN.. who supervised your bitch ass when your father chose gambling over your family.

Jason Whitlock is a sycophantic, buck dancing, self loathing, boot licking, apologist for white supremacy.

You have to understand, the reason @WhitlockJason toupee looks so ridiculous is because he's hiding a white hood under it.

CJ Davis, the woman you're comparing to a black single mother, is married and has an (adult) child. Her husband also worked in the Justice system. I'm not sure why you're comparing her running the Police Station to single Black mothers when she is not a single Black mother. ??

If you don't know how fucked up Jason Whitlock and other Fox guests from last night are, I made a quick TikTok about it because most people could literally never know some of these clips exist unless they watch Fox News as their job:https://t.co/hiRNJGW4lV

I cannot believe no one has yet to walk up to Jason Whitlock & slap him in the face. FTR (cuz I know how folks like to tussle) I'm not TECHNICALLY advocating for this, I'm just expressing shock it hasn't already happened.

But why haven't you settled down and started your nuclear family? Why aren't you doing the lords work and producing more grifters? You are 55 years old, single, and you wear fedoras. Tell us how proud Jesus is of you? pic.twitter.com/7HmrKmdTh9

Legitimately the worst take anyone could possibly have. I was raised by a single black mother, I came to Oklahoma knowing not one soul and today I am a member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives because of that single black mother. So Jason Whitlock, STFU. https://t.co/Z3a8U7q5Bf

A lot of mass shootings are committed by white males who grew up in two parent homes. I don't see you interrogating their family structure.
