Jason Whitlock had the Internet on fire on Monday. The outspoken sports journalist called out Black mothers who pursue “husband-like relationships with their sons.”
In an episode of his “Fearless” podcast, Whitlock said Black boys “are raised to serve their mothers as a deity (a goddess).”
He said “We’re not here to serve our mothers” and that “pursuit of serving our mothers is what has feminized our culture.”
He was careful to say he’s not putting down anyone’s mom. Whitlock said Black mothers should not pursue “husband-like relationships with their sons”. They should raise their sons to be men of God.
He said Black women hatched a plot to have a male baby and make him her husband and make him serve her for the rest of his life.
He added that boys “dream and fantasize things they should fantasize about God and Jesus Christ.”
“For many women this is difficult to hear,” Whitlock said, adding that women listen to ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith and hope their sons talk about them that way. “When what they should be saying is ‘I hope my son talks about Jesus Christ that way.'”
He said if women raise their sons to be in service to Jesus Christ, their sons will treat them properly.
Some of Whitlock’s followers agreed. One X/Twitter user said women “need to get married either with their son’s father or by another man before the age of 7, or let their son be with their father.”
Another X user wrote: “Black boys are raised to serve their mothers because the majority of black Dads aren’t around.”
But a third person commented: “It’s always the guy with no family telling families how to raise their kids… kids he doesn’t have.”

Black boys are raised to serve their mothers like a deity. Our pursuit of serving our mothers is what has feminized our culture and caused so much corruption. Black women are pursuing husband-like relationships with their sons, when they should be raising a man of God. pic.twitter.com/9xA8mx4Be1
