Blaze TV host Jason Whitlock is blaming corporate media for the shocking rise in violence being committed by young people.
Whitlock has been an outspoken critic of inner-city crime. He joined “The Vince Coglianese Show” Wednesday on 105.9 FM in Washington D.C.
“Kids have always settled disputes with fights and fisticuffs, but I do think we are kidding ourselves if we think that social media and all the messaging that comes from corporate media isn’t having an impact on young people,” Whitlock said.
Whitlock noted the violence that plagues minority communities around the country is out of control.
“So much of the messaging from the education system and from corporate and social media is that the world has screwed you over, white people are your enemies, and you’re owed a great debt,” he said.
Whitlock remarked that many of the viral videos that depict, or document violence are byproducts of a culture that’s been created that is telling kids to be mad.
“It’s just a natural boomerang to the George Floyd video or the Eric Garner video that eventually people will say you want to put out videos or spotlight videos where white people are behaving poorly, we can do just the opposite,” Whitlock said.
Whitlock added that violent videos are growing in popularity. He warned that a society devoid of a spiritual connection is a society in peril.
“This is just a natural outgrowth of being a secular society,” he added.
