WNBA guards and women share an obvious and deep-rooted contempt for Caitlin Clark. See how they to treat, talk about, And undermine her.
Clark, a white, heterosexual woman, is the main protagonist in a league that takes great pride in its uplift of black lesbians. However, it’s not just Clark’s identity that sparks animosity from other players. It’s also his lack of guilt.
Let us explain:
Women in the WNBA suffer from a variation of White Disturbance Syndrome (WDS). How does WDS work? Former ESPN host Bomani Jones, who has long become chronically ill with the mind virus, explained last year.
“White people aren’t always subject to racial bias, but you can never be 100 percent sure (you’re not),” Jones said when discussing whether white privilege plays a role in NBA MVP voting.
According to Jones, white people should be considered racist by default – until proven otherwise. For example, Bomani admits that he is close friends with FS1 host Nick Wright and blogger Spencer Hall, two white men whose white guilt would impress even Joy Reid.
Apply this same logic to the WNBA. WNBA players and media, most of whom are black women, have no such problem with Cameron Brink, the second overall pick in the WNBA draft, attractive and white.
Unlike Clark, Brink has recently expressed remorse for his “inherent white privilege.”
“I could go deeper into this topic, but I would just say increase the fan base to support all types of players. I recognize that there is privilege for young white players in the league,” Brink said.
Black women in the WNBA also look up to Diana Taurasi, a white woman. Taurasi was one of the league players main defenders for the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, following the death of George Floyd.
Taurasi’s support for BLM, a Marxist political movement, was perhaps second only to Sue Bird, another white WNBA player.
To better understand Clark’s disparate treatment compared to other white women in the WNBA, consider the topic that former NFL player Emmanuel Acho wrote a book about in 2022: the difference between someone who is “not racist” and an “anti-racist.”
“I’m often asked: ‘What is the difference between not being racist and being anti-racist?’ commented Acho.
“Being ‘non-racist’ is not volunteering in the racism around you. But letting that racism exist around you. Whereas being ‘anti-racist’ is actively speaking out against racism whenever you see it.”
Caitlin Clark is “not racist.” Brink, Taurasi and Bird are – in the minds of the WNBA mean girls – “anti-racists.”
Celebrities like A’ja Wilson, Chennedy Carter, Sheryl Swoopes, Sunny Hostin and Jemele Hill aren’t just upset that a little white girl from Iowa is the face of the WNBA — they’re also upset that the little white girl from Iowa hasn’t apologized for it.
They won’t accept her unless (and only unless) she proves she’s anti-racist, woke, guilty, or whatever buzzword they prefer when it comes to apology time.
Simply put, Clark could prove she’s “one of them” by supporting, say, African Ancestral Lesbians United for Societal Change, Pride Month, or BLM.
Maybe she will.
We hope not. Intrepid Contributor TJ Moe predicted her “popularity would immediately drop” if she did so. He’s right.
However, Clark would not be the first white person to succumb to racial bullies to ease antipathy toward them. That works. It worked for Howard Stern and Mark Cuban, didn’t it?
Many women in the league despise Clark. They want to see it fail and even hurt her. Because of racial double standards, she cannot condemn the racial animosity she faces.
Society – through fear-pornography and propaganda – has programmed young Black Americans to distrust their white counterparts. According to a recent Gallup pollmost black people are.
In doing so, society has made white people unnecessarily desolate, submissive, and controllable.
Caitlin Clark must decide whether she will reverse this trend or become an advocate for the black lesbian agenda.
