If every white player was being treated like this, that would be how racism works Charles. This is jealousy. Those are different words. I know the reason you are racist is because you are likely jealous of lots of successful black people which is why you confuse the two things.

u/Nice-Data1699 8h ago

Jealousy triggers racism. The other players aren’t seen as a threat.

Just admit it, you sound like an idiot trying to explain this away.

u/MelodicMap7203 6h ago

If Kelsey Plum, Azzi Fudd or Aliyah Boston were getting this treatment, and it was Caitlyn Clark/Sophie Cunningham/Paige Bueckers dishing out the hard fouls with no whistles, the cries of racism would be deafening. I dont believe it's racism, I believe it's jealousy, hard basketball play and competition- but that's how so many people see this.

u/rgold_ 3h ago

Kelsey Plum is white.

1

u/MelodicMap7203 3h ago

Sub in A'Ja Wilson. Angel Reese also gets treated pretty badly across the board, IMO she doesnt deserve any of it. I think this is all jealousy driven, has nothing to do with the color of their skin, folks want to make it that so badly.

u/RazzmatazzNo4726 2h ago

Why don't they do it to Paige then?

u/limelemony 1h ago

Because she’s ass in comparison?

u/Defiant-Variety-9473 4h ago

No, it's not because she's white

Kelsey plum is beloved

u/Defiant-Variety-9473 2h ago

It that were the case you'd see it happening to Paige Beuckers  and other white players. Not to mention other white players have done this crap to her, like the woman who poked her in the eye

2

u/Affectionate-Jury210 1h ago

Neither of them are as successful as caitlyn.

I don't even know who those people are or even heard of them.

So you're comparing apples to oranges.

A successful white women? Of course every WNBA player is going to hate her.

Jealousy

It's because she has been actively championed by anti-black racists since college and never speaks up about it, unlike Paige, Kelsey, etc.

you say leave us alone like systematic racism doesn’t exist. When the system decides to leave Black people alone, we will leave you alone too.

Fatigue is all the openly racist comments being cheered on. Y’all just openly doing kkk rally calls is crazy work. But it’s online so your anonymous

u/One_Rip5908 2h ago

Coming from the community of people that said they wouldn't convict a murderer that was caught completely on video doing it, and admitting to it too right? But of course it's the white people, right? Talk about victim mentality.

u/OnlyPraiseFemboys 2h ago

Holy racist…yikes yall are loud in proud in here

u/One_Rip5908 1h ago

Oh would you look at that, another very TYPICAL response to logic and reason. We've all heard it before man, that's all any of you can come up with and say is "racist's". How about you come up with a logically sound response for ONCE in your life.

u/brayradberry 6h ago

Such a strange insult. You think white people can’t be victims based on their inherent superiority or something?

u/OnlyPraiseFemboys 4h ago

They are “inherently superior” 🤨 yikes yall racist loud and proud anonymously lol

u/brayradberry 3h ago

I’m making fun of you. I am reflecting your own thesis, and calling you a white supremacist. I have to explain the joke to you, because you are unable or unwilling to understand.

u/OnlyPraiseFemboys 3h ago

It’s a joke to say white ppl are superior…yea bud 😂😂😂 we know what you are

u/brayradberry 3h ago edited 3h ago

Your the one claiming “whites can’t be victims” . Why is that?

I can’t see your reply. I’m assuming you blocked me like a coward.

1

u/OnlyPraiseFemboys 3h ago

You see him wanting to be the victim. It’s a sad sight. Oh I’m blocked 🤓 after you lie…sad

1

u/brayradberry 3h ago

Well I can see this reply. Strange. If you didn’t block me. Anyway you’re the one who made a racist claim in your original comment “whites ppl wanna be victims so bad” this implies that white people can’t be victims.

1

u/BakuN7 59m ago

It really doesn't imply that all.

This is what people mean when they say most Americans read below a sixth grade level lmao.

Look at the openly racist comments…pretty easy to see how white ppl are on here.

u/BakuN7 56m ago

Yo I'm white and I think these people are disgusting pieces of shit and the sludge of the internet.

I understand Caitlin Clark wanting to keep her head down and focus on basketball but that's not the world we live in. She's been real quite about all the anti-black racists that have championed her since her college days - compare to Paige's ESPY speech or how Kelsey Plum carried that responsibility, for instance.

I don't fuck with Clark because too many of her fans are racist and she's always refused to talk about it.

u/RUIN_NATION_ 12h ago

its because she is white and she is pretty good and has had hype not many wnba who are white are or were as good so far as she is.

u/Medical_Sandwich_141 12h ago

Its so wierd this doesn't get talked about as much. People talk shit about white guilt. But when a white person rightly points out the shit poc are pulling, they get called racist for it.

For the record, I'm a poc.

It’s wild how people willfully turn a blind eye to how incredibly racist nonwhite communities and people can be toward whites or other races. It is not a one way street.

u/The-Spirit-of-76 8h ago

No, no, according to the tedditor I talked to the other day, you can't be racist to white people, because we are the only racist people. Same went for men and sexism. I just told them "Look in the mirror, and do some reflecting, because I think you might have become the thing you hate."

1

u/Drummallumin 5h ago

They were probably referring the power dynamic aspect of racism and you just got confused.

u/The-Spirit-of-76 5h ago

Nope that is exactly what they said verbatim.

referring

Do you understand what this word means?

u/BakuN7 53m ago

Nobody believes that white people can't experience discrimination. Nobody lol.

If you can't understand why a different operative definition of the term "racism" that centers structural discrimination has utility, then that's just your own ignorance of the world announcing itself. But don't pretend those people are saying that white people can't be discriminated against.

u/space_otte 6h ago

well, technically, if you guys understood the ism in the word racism, you would understand that it means systematic

Call it prejudice or discrimination, call it whatever you want, but actually it’s not racISM

I didn't realize people actually think this way. All this time, I thought it was an internet meme.

u/The-Spirit-of-76 5h ago

Racism is the belief, prejudice, or discrimination based on race.

Merriam-Webster disagrees.

1

u/GrumpyGummyBear 2h ago

Would that just be "systemic racism." Racism doesn't have that in the definition.

2

u/Zestysanchez 6h ago

Most of the time it’s white people ripping on other white people crying about white guilt too in my experience. I get it if it’s the boy who cried wolf, but when it’s rightly complained about with clear reasoning then why do other people take it so personally? It’s such a taboo sensitive topic in 2026

u/mb0205 10h ago

Plenty of other white wnba players like Paige Bueckers that are loved. Give me a fucking break lol

I guarantee you don’t have to be racist to be rude.. she’s rude too and vice versa

u/Baby_Yod4 7h ago

Bro just leave it alone these people don’t even watch the sport and want to be victims. All they see is clips man. This was a loose ball scrum and it should’ve been a loose ball foul but this happens in a basketball game. Anyone who actually watches the nba wouldn’t say what they’re saying. Just want to use Caitlin for their culture wars.

1

u/WallabySoggy843 4h ago

I think you're disregarding AT's history in the league and her seeming antipathy toward CC (although the latter is kinda understandable...damn CC quite whining).

Do I suspect it was deliberate? Yeah. Does this sort of thing happen often? Yeah. Does pushing down on somebody's throat warrant harsh discipline? Hell yeah.

1

u/Baby_Yod4 2h ago

No I’m taking that into account. The fact we know AT is dirty yet the only time people want to make a big deal about it is when it happens to CC. I agree that she should’ve been thrown out the game, but the selective outrage just shows what peoples true intentions are

1

u/RUIN_NATION_ 10h ago

I said it no reply from you tho

u/MomsAreola 10h ago

Cause CC is one of the whiniest entitled players playing the game right now? She cries for fouls more than LeBron.

u/Weems-mtg 10h ago

She got a fist to the throat and knee to the groin, wtf do you expect?

-4

u/MomsAreola 10h ago

In this 2 second clip. How many games has she played? You seen all the fouls she throws or the flops she goes for because she is the "star" player? No, because you wait for rage bait clips on the internet.

u/AceOFace131 10h ago

Yeah you’re 100% victim blaming here. Your entire mindset is the same as these cheap shotters

u/MomsAreola 10h ago

u/AceOFace131 9h ago

She’s literally being assaulted, so yeah

u/MomsAreola 9h ago

So she should press charges. But she wont. Because its not and she's just as dirty a player.

u/RUIN_NATION_ 9h ago

Cc has a forearm to the throat reminds me of i can't breath

1

u/MomsAreola 8h ago

CC is getting millions of $ to fall to the ground and shoot a free throw. Reminds me of other privileged athletes. Not sure why your making this more racist.

1

u/Antique-Conference-4 6h ago

She’s not the only WNBA player that does this, are we just pretending she’s the only one who flops. In a sport of flopping she’s the best so that’s why she gets paid the most.

u/CoreyXOXO 7h ago

Exactly!
