“What does white people acknowledging their “privilege” & expressing white guilt do for you?”

[True Blue Moon]

Just let this girl play basketball

Right. This type of shyt is embarassing

 

[KidJSoul]

twitter is crazy. saying all that with zero awareness while being with a white man, then will say some shyt like black men are the white men of the black community.

Makes it all the more embarrassing when cats on here run interference for them...

Bunch of low self-esteem clowns....

All I need for the government to do is cut the check. I don’t care if they call me all kinds of racial epithets on my way to cash it.

As long as reparations is paid just like every other oppressed group has received, platitudes are meaningless to me.

As I posted above, there are those of us who want equality, and then the septum ring wearing, moist lives matter crowd, who simply are fighting for interracial sexual access.

Reparations? According to coli "brehs", that's c00n talk. Any politician for reparations is obviously a Russian agent

Even though it will not happen with out force

but give us our reparations I don't want or need to be around known of them.

I swear, some people are just so fukking dense.

You have to start SOMEWHERE to fix a problem.
Step 1 is almost always identifying or acknowledging that there IS a problem.

That's why someone admitting and recognizing their privilege matters.

Do they even teach people how to think these days?

It's funny how performative this stuff is. Caitlyn Clark has said all the right things when asked about some of the racists who attach themselves to her fandom. But because she doesn't proactively release social media statements denouncing white people, apologizing for her whiteness, and saying #trustblackwomen she's seen as an obstacle. We're dealing with a very specific type of black people who seem mentally and emotionally incapable of not being the center of attention. Whether it's Caitlyn Clark or Travis Kelce dumping a black chick to date the biggest pop star in the world, this chronically online demographic just goes nuts.

At the end of the day it's about power and the idea that black people - specifically black women and gay black men - can only attain enough power to make change by either being romantically involved with a white man, or becoming the official black advisor to a white person. These people despise actual community work because it means they have to interact with the types of black people they clearly dislike, IE black men, poor black people who aren't chronically online, etc. They'd rather be in the Swiss Alps with an Important White Person enjoying the soft life while encouraging him/her to "use their platform to center black causes" or whatever the worthless jargon of the month is. And that cause is never something that actually impacts most black people, or communities.

Remember that scene in Talented Mr. Ripley where the rich people told Tom he wasn't invited to the ski trip because he couldn't pay his own way? And how his descent into criminality and violence was largely a means to attaining wealth so he'd never feel that poor again? That's who these people are. It's why DeRay and all those BLM people have been doing corporate speeches for cash in order to "advise" companies on racism. They'd rather get a bag than do anything of worth that is hard. So they can afford the lifestyles white people have introduce them to.

Yall see how Gayle and that other dude just let that Zionist go at Coates? Put model minorities on that couch and you got Get Out vibes. The scene where they were all pointing a breh

These chicks claim there’s no black men that match them, nah they just laying low

 

[WTFisWallace?]

At no point in this video was privilege said.

At no point in the clip was Clark's "guilt" being asked for. What was being asked was to stand on business if you really not fukking with the racists that are pulling up to the games or spewing bullshyt online or in the media.

The point of the video seems to be clarifying why some parts of the WNBA has some tension with Clark being milquetoast in response to overt racism to black players on her team and/or league in general.



"White people being an 'ally' never did anything for me personally" is ahistorical/borderline idiocy. Just from a factual perspective, from runaway slaves, civil rights advancement, etc......it's simply a false statement to say white individuals had zero impact (positive or negative) to do with where you are in America currently.





For those demanding reparations, if a majority white government......which we can assume will be majority white for the foreseeable future has no whites in positions of influence that express guilt, acknowledge wrongs, etc.....then how the fukk do yall to except for legislation to pass for reparations?

This seems as simple as 2+2=4 to me, but maybe I'm not seeing the alternative......how do we get to point Z of reparations, without getting to point C of having some (white) people in government that don't don't give af about past transgressions?

I think in this case particularly, the WNBA from a 'community' standpoint seems to expect and hold their players to more moral standards. Or at least expect engagement and unity to a degree. Whereas with something like the NBA or NFL....Michael Jordan can get away with 'Republicans buy shoes too' or Magic Johnson not really engaging in shyt, Dez Bryant not quite in solidarity, etc. Rodgers, Brees, etc are not expected by their black peers to take a public stance witht them and it's ok.

The WNBA's culture just carries that type of shyt differently.....so Clark being an outlier as compared somebody like Plum, Taurasi,....even Hailely Van Lilth when she was a teammates of Angel Reese's. (Vs Aaliyah Boston getting shytted on with Clark).

At the end of the day it's about power and the idea that black people - specifically black women and gay black men - can only attain enough power to make change by either being romantically involved with a white man, or becoming the official black advisor to a white person. These people despise actual community work because it means they have to interact with the types of black people they clearly dislike, IE black men, poor black people who aren't chronically online, etc.

Is this general point? Or in reference to the reporter in the clip and parts of WNBA players? If it's the latter, doesn't seem accurate. At least from a distance.

I mean what is Caitlin supposed to do here? She's from the Midwest and a lot of them are averse to talking about politics.

Also maybe I'm old but the performative liberalism doesn't do it for me. Being a good person, doing active things is where it's at. If Caitlin donates to helping Black communities then bravo but she doesn't have to use her platform for me

Man this post speaks to my soul. Hate the performative crap. It's harder to do real work on the ground and get your hands dirty instead of doing online advocacy
