“I think what Caitlin did in her quotes, or in the article, was speak explicitly about her White privilege, and that is what is receiving so much criticism or backlash, and that is the lesson,” she said. “So, you know, for conservative media coming at her now that obviously they’re just showing their whole ---.

“If fans are upset about her saying that and just acknowledging what is true, I think that says a lot. But I think the more that you speak directly to it the clearer it becomes what your stance is, and then you can’t be used in that way. It doesn’t really leave your beliefs or your stance as a white player to any sort of interpretation.”

I’m impressed the magazine capitalized “White”. I guess the pendulum is swinging back.

Edit-: I gotta stop posting late at night. I was totally mixed up, thinking of the blonde gal who took so much heat about coming forth about Lia Thomas. (Riley Gaines, Thanks so much Privateer!!)
Clark is the one who looks too much like a man.


Caitlin Clark (Riley Gaines)took a physical beating for her beliefs.
She was mobbed on college grounds for standing against trans athletes in women's sports.

Megan Rapinhoe takes a knee and a beating on the field for hers.
And disgraced her country at the Olympics.

Which is the better woman?

Wonder why she didn't magnanimously step down from the soccer team and declare she was ceding the spot to a black player in order to denouncer her own white privelege?

Rapinoe speaks a lot like Kamala. They use a lot of words to make themselves appear smarter than what they are.

It's just a dumbass in the WNBA basically apologizing for the color of her skin. A lot of people liked her because they believed she is good at her job. But even she believes that she only has support because of her skintone. So no need to support a dumbass like that who brings skintone into the conversation.

So Megan's issue is now white privilege?

Chick is an emotionally broken basket case.

Gotta maintain relevance with progressive America somehow. The trans lunacy looks like it's running out of steam. But, that old time racism religion always plays in corporate boardrooms.

Except it's not true. It takes a hard core racist to buy into these views, and that's the fact.


Identity politics is racist.

White women are without a doubt the most privileged people on earth.

This is a fact.

As long as these LGBTQ types do not get the mental health they need for their condition, expect them to continue to lash out in anger.
