Sports columnist Jason Whitlock has stirred controversy by accusing sports analyst Stephen A. Smith of perpetuating alleged anti-white racism in his commentary on recent NBA performances.
Whitlock pointed out what he perceives as a double standard in Smith’s reactions to standout scoring performances by Joel Embiid and Luka Doncic. Smith praised the 76ers center for having a great performance, while in the wake of Doncic’s scoring spectacle, he slammed Hawks for playing no defense and gave no credit to the Slovenian superstar.
“So everybody that’s paid attention to the NBA knows that what Luka Doncic did and how the Atlanta Hawks played that’s par for the course in this new NBA,” Whitlock said on Fearless with Jason Whitlock. “All the rules have been doctored and changed, the players all make so much money, there’s so much load management, the paint has been opened in a way to promote people driving to the lane uncontested.
“And yet many regular season NBA games look like a competitive All-Star Game. they look like what NBA All-Star Games used to look like in the 1970s and 80s, and 90s… Everybody knows this is widespread and rampant throughout the NBA.”
According to Whitlock, Smith’s contrasting reactions to Embiid and Doncic exemplify a wider issue of anti-white bias in sports media.
“For Stephen A. to single out this Atlanta Hawks game and Luka Doncic and how the Hawks played old lady defense, but Karl-Anthony Towns and Joel Embiid, they were phenomenal, they were playing great ball and they were being contested… it’s a joke,” he continued.
“Stephen A.’s contradictory messages here can only be defined and described in one way accurately – racist. He’s got a racist double standard and many people in the league, because the NBA is a black dominated league, hey share tat view. We saw it.”
Whitlock recalled a previous instance where former NBA player turned ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins suggested racial bias in the NBA MVP race, citing it as part of a larger pattern of anti-white sentiment in the industry.
The outspoken columnist condemned what he views as a systemic promotion of anti-white racism in sports media, arguing that challenging this narrative often leads to backlash and accusations of betrayal.
“There’s this racism that is required in the sports media world for widespread success and acceptance,” Whitlock continued. “The message is being pushed out very clearly. The matrix, the internet – that’s what it rewards – anti-white racism. They have designed a system for systemic racism. They’ve done that.
“And I’ll called Uncle Tom and a coon for pointing it out. What I will not be called is a liar. I will not be called a liar because I’ve been consistent throughout my entire 30-year career as a journalist. I think it’s now 34 years. I think if you the first twelve years of my life, 44 years just as a human being, I’ve always been against racism.
“When the system was titled and favored white guys and discriminate against black guys, I complained then. Now that the system is tilted and tilted against white guys, I still don’t like racism so I complain now. The system has been designed to punish anybody that challenges the anti-white narrative that is pervasive throughout the American media.
“And I don’t want white guys running around putting themselves on a victim cross. Don’t do it. Because the reality is this assault, this unfairness that the system has legalized, it’s really not about you, it’s about Jesus Christ. Because that’s why they defined Christianity as the white man’s religion. That’s a lie. It’s not true. Any serious Christian knows that.
“But they have defined Christianity and fairness, and truth as something white. And so they demonize everything white, everything masculine, everything that celebrates and promotes male leadership, they demonize that all as evil.
“And racial idolators like Stephen A. Smith and many of the black people in the media, who, I don’t even know they’re idolators, they just want the check. So they see which way the wind is blowing. Well, you get money for promoting anti-white racism. I want money, I’ll do it. I won’t do it.”
