At this point, I’m convinced Jason Whitlock wakes up every morning, makes coffee, eats some seasonless breakfast, throws his favorite star-spangled cape on and loudly sings, “HERE I COME TO SAVE WHITE AMERICA!!!”
The day before the Fourth of July, comedian David Alan Grier posted to Twitter a photo of members of the Patriot Front, which the Anti-Defamation League describes the organization as “a white supremacist group whose members maintain that their ancestors conquered America and bequeathed it to them, and no one else.” Grier captioned the post, “Meet the new Klan.”
Whitlock apparently got offended by the caption as a Black man who may or may not spend his evenings lighting candles shaped like crosses, eating some seasonless dinner, watching Roots and thinking to himself, “Oh, come on—’Toby’ isn’t even that bad of a name!”

“Respectfully, I don’t know who these guys are or what their crimes have been, but can we get a body count, number of crosses burned, lynchings, predominantly black neighborhoods terrorized?” Whitlock wrote while quote-tweeting Grier’s post. “What does the ‘new Klan’ do? Looking for a sincere answer.”
To be clear, Whitlock is not “looking for a sincere answer”—he’s looking for a reason to cape for white nationalists.
Grier posted his tweet the day after about 100 members of the Patriot Front marched through Boston carrying police shields and various flags including those that “displayed versions of the symbol used by Benito Mussolini’s National Fascist Party,” according to the Boston Herald. (I don’t know about y’all, but, to me, that sounds like the Klan.) Some Patriot Front members allegedly attacked a 34-year-old Black man in Boston.
