**“They Look Like Voodoo Witch Doctors”: Clay on the Generational Curse | Clay Edwards Show**

Clay delivers one of the most raw and controversial segments of the episode, quoting a Black preacher from Jason Whitlock’s show who described a troubling segment of young Black men as looking like “voodoo witch doctors.”

The preacher called it a generational curse — pointing to the tarantula hair, face tattoos, skinny builds, and uniform look that many of these young men now carry. Clay stops what he’s doing in the studio and says once you hear it, you can’t unsee it. He repeats it multiple times on air: “They all look like witch doctors… Little voodoo witch doctors.”

He connects this directly to the violence and culture rot in places like South Jackson, arguing that an evil spirit has been cast over certain communities. Clay is clear he’s not talking about all Black people, but he refuses to pretend the pattern doesn’t exist or that it’s racist to point it out.

This segment is Clay at full throttle — using a Black preacher’s own words to say what most media figures won’t touch: that decades of cultural decay have left a visible and spiritual mark on parts of the Black community, and ignoring it only makes the problem worse.

**Unfiltered. Uncomfortable. Unapologetic.** This is the kind of conversation you only get on The Clay Edwards Show.
