Welcome to Fearless with Jason Whitlock. I am Jason Whitlock, your host. Happy Tuesday to you and yours.

It's the day after Memorial Day, it's the day after Monday, it's the day before hump day. Awesome day and show a plan for you today.

Delano Squires will be here and Steve Kim, two of my favorite contributors of all time, Delano and Steve Kim.

I have a special discussion for us mapped out about Memorial Day, which was yesterday. Delano has written a column about Christian nationalism and will address that with Delano.

Steve Kim will be here to talk about the sports world, this Tommy fam. I don't know if you guys saw this late last week. Slapped, chopped Peterson over a fantasy football, Gabe Kapler, the manager of the San Francisco Giants.

He's taking a knee or not coming out for the national anthem until he feels better about the country. And I'm going to, what's up with everybody from San Francisco?

We'll get into that. And so, but I want to start with my Memorial Day message and try to put in perspective what's going on in this country.

So let's start a fire there, bring in Delano to help me fan those flames. And we'll get this week rolling right now.

All right, 157 years ago, free to American black people inspired the Memorial Day celebration at a park in Charleston, South Carolina, approximately 10,000 Americans led by black school children and church leaders gathered to honor the sacrifice of 251 Union soldiers,

buried at the site of an outdoor Confederate prison camp. It was May 1st, 1865, just three weeks after General Robert Ely surrendered at Appomattox, and three months after Charles McBeth, the mayor of Charleston surrendered his city to Union forces.

A spirit of gratitude triggered the outpouring of remembrance and desired to give Union soldiers a proper burial. Three years later, John Logan, the commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, a fraternity of Union soldiers, proclaimed May 30th as decoration day.

100 years later, Congress renamed it Memorial Day. The origin of Memorial Day is more important today than perhaps at any time in America's history. It highlights a sad and tragic pivot in American culture.

It speaks to black Americans unique and powerful influence on the zeitgeist. America's shift from a culture of gratitude to entitlement can be analyzed and explained by study of the attitude of black people.

The Marxist forces seeking the topple American exceptionalism perverted the history, identity, and minds of black Americans. They turned this country's strength, black Americans faith-based journey toward freedom, into a weakness.

They turned the African American journey into a narrative art that damned this country and its founding principles rather than one that celebrated America and the brilliance of the founding documents.

Black Americans, pursuit of freedom, caused this country to live up to its highest ideals and Christian values.

Black men of faith from Richard Allen, the founder of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, to Frederick Douglass, the slave, turned abolitionists, to Booker T. Washington, the educator and entrepreneur to the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.

They all stood as this nation's moral compass. The left undermined the black man eviscerating his authority in the home with government assistance and financially rewarding him for betraying any allegiance to morality.

The history of black people has been redefined as a retelling of tragedy, oppression, and white supremacy victimization.

This new narrative is focused on creating a sense of entitlement and inspiring other Americans to follow suit.

It's worked beautifully. We've seen the formula at Work Cross Popular Culture.

Nike rose to dominant selling air Jordans to black-intercity drug dealers. The prevailing sentiment in fashion is to win the wallets of black consumers and white consumers will follow.
