Caitlin Clark: First Rookie in WNBA To Ever Record a Triple Double

[ShoulderRoll]

I listed two of them who agreed that they have White privilege and you ducked it.

Do you think they are racist against themselves? Hating? Mentally ill? Whatever else you've said about people who brought that up? Who would know better than them?

They’re not getting the exact same attention as Caitlin nor the exact same endorsements as her. Why?

You are still ducking.

They both get tons of attention. One is currently injured (and is the one I see in advertisements the most of all) and the other isn't in the WNBA yet. They don't get as much as CC because of many reasons. CC has records behind her and drama behind her. What does that have to do with their truth and experience with White Privilege. They acknowledge it. Why does it hurt you to do so? Do you think they are hating? Racist? Mentally ill? Wouldn't they know more about this than you or me?

When you have to blatantly duck, the conversation is basically over.

Well, where are all the other white players that are getting the exact same attention that Caitlin is getting? There aren’t any because none of them are as skilled as she is. Even though they are as white as she is.

Just being White and not being an exceptional player may not be the same as being a marquee white player with regards to privalege. Ill give you two scenarios: The first comes from D i c k Gregory, who left us relatively recently... One of my favorite activists... He maintains that privalege, and even being a racist, depends on your ability to control others. So that poor white guy who uses the N word? He neither has privalege, nor, according to Gregory, can he be racist, because his actions cannot materially effect the fate of anyone. To Gregory, who playfully says "your white (privaleged) if you read the stock pages in the morning," you need this power to be part of the white power structure...

Second scenario: Your white and have a look that gets you stopped by the cops. You wonder why people think only Black people deal with dangerous cops...

In the first scenario Gregory outlines conditions that materially affect privalege. I happen to like his thinking on this... I would say economic class is really the generator, not race, but that is an opinion lol. Under these circumstances Caitlin could have privalege while other white players do not.

In the second scenario we can see that privalege does not always have the same causation based on skin color alone. Under this scenario your point would have merit: Caitlin would just happen to be a kind of individual from a certain class, not necessarily having to do with race, but a class that is privaleged non the less... Like the privalege that comes with being a star athlete, versus a decent player.

Sure, if working hard to develop great skills and become a record-breaking star athlete is privilege then Caitlin is indeed privileged.

Being black never prevented Michael Jordan and many others from doing the same, though.

So there are many reasons why players don’t get as much attention as Caitlin Clark? Very interesting to hear you admit that.

Yes, this conversation with you is basically over. I declare myself the winner just like you like to do.

When have I ever declared myself the winner of a normal discussion?

I declare that you ducked like a bltch multiple times again, doe

Anyway…Caitlin Clark just followed her historic outing with yet another monster performance.

She became the first-ever player to record over 25 points, 10 assists, five rebounds, five steals, and five 3-point makes in a game in either WNBA or NBA history. That white privileged heifer!

You're either too dumb or pretending to be so dumb that you don't realize Michael Jordan would have been even more popular if he were White.

Where’s muh A’Ja Wilson and the Aces on that list, doe? This white privilege is so unfair.
