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

There was one cool as Hippie type white boy that used to work at GameStop in palatka back in the Day... He'd give you hella hook-ups...

One day I noticed I ain't seen him in a while...

I asked the young black employee "where dude at?" ...




He told me he got fired for giving stuff away to Black people ... ONLY Black people...


That nygga was like the white Robin Hood for Nyggas.. I wish i could find him today and look out for him.

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).


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.

That's what I'm saying. The league is full of a demographic that view power as the ability to wield whiteness in their favor - via influence, demands, etc.

I wasn't commenting on the specific journalist, it was just a general point about something that's been very prevalent over the last decade when it comes to these pleas/demands for white people to just...say words.

Does nothing, but definitely feels better than them denying their privilege exist.
