Didn't Jimmy the Greek get canned for talking about blacks being better athletes than Whites...

I applaud the author for admitting different skill sets exists purely due to racial biology across the mean average. I agree with the author on this point 100%.

As far as the author believing Clark is racist, that likely also illustrates proof of less developed skill sets purely due to racial biology across the mean average.

This is a great step forward in the path to a conversation needed for far too long.

Caitlin Clark has generated tons of interest in women’s basketball because of her long-range shooting and deft passing. She’s been likened to Golden State Warriors great Stephen Curry, and that comparison ain’t crazy...that’s how special Clark is.


My money would be on Steph in a one-on-one with Ms. Clark. He would beat her like a drum.

Watching black women melt down about Clark is glorious. True colors showing.

Clark is embraced as the greatest scorer in the history of women’s college basketball, and it doesn’t matter that it’s not actually true: A Black woman — Pearl Moore of Francis Marion University in Florence, S.C. — still holds the record, set in the late 1970s.

Clark broke the NCAA’s Division I record, a tremendous accomplishment but not one that eclipses what Moore did.


I'm not sure how anyone could write this with a straight face. Anyone trying to say a Division II player's record is more impressive is biased and it's also a terrible argument to change someone's opinion.

The crux of the issue for this article is that Clark is getting a hug Nike deal and Wilson hasn't despite all the hardware she has produced.
Nike is taking advantage of the huge flocking to womens college basketball that was helped by Clark's chase for the scoring record. Nike is striking while she is the hot thing and had the nations attention.
Not too mention that arenas are selling out and even moving games to bigger arenas for WNBA games because of Clark.

“The more whites there are, di verse it gets.”

They would rather rule a sport no one wants to watch then have a white girl bring more eyeballs to the sport and possibly change it from a wart on the arse of the NBA to a self sufficient venture.

The thing everyone is missing is that clark is getting rewarded, as she should, but the rest of the league isnt, which goes back to the status quo.

The Root is insecurity projected as media

These people are hopeless, bitter racists

It is tough not to respond in kind, but we must take the high road. Perhaps that is what makes us superior

When black people say this they are racist, regardless of whether or not people call them that.

Lots of newspapers have slogans “All the news that’s fit to print”, etc. The Root’s would be “frick Whitey”, but they’d have fight The Grio for it.

Right, but hardware doesn't sell shoes.

Nothing against A'ja, but most people don't know who she is. People aren't climbing over themselves to watch her play. It's just business.

Black people who buy into silly shite like The Root are, but thankfully it's not all of them.
