Hard to think when you're just pandering. The argument was created and memorized too long ago, it's impossible to improvise from there. Every few years an elite college basketball star gets drafted into the WNBA. Many of them have been white, it wasn't just Aja Wilson. Sue Bird didn't have the star power Caitlyn Clark has. Diana Turasi didn't. Sabrina Ionescu didn't. That tells me this goes beyond just race and is about how Clark plays, and her perceived skill level, and her personality. She reminds people of Steph Curry and that skill level is very attractive to a lot of people, basically. But instead of just grappling with that, we get pulled into a racial argument that makes no sense.
Most of the transcendent athletes of the last 40 years have been black. Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Serena Williams, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Steph Curry. If Caitlyn Clark is the next one it would be idiotic to claim she's joining an all-black list of icons because she's white. Getting back to CTG the biggest problem in that clip isn't even him being wrong. It was the silence, followed by the "I'm comprehending/listening to the conversation." These people are so invested in catering to and coddling black women that they throw everything else out the window. Clark has made a certain segment of black women so insecure and angry that we're now stuck in these dead end conversations about Clark. The fact that a black woman is the dominant issue, nothing else. And it's the same ones that were so mad about Travis Kelce dumping his black gf for the most popular white woman in the world. It's the same ones that are fiercely upset about Rihanna and Beyonce dating/marrying black men. It's the same ones that think Meghan Markle is a hero. It's the same ones who hate Simone Biles' boyfriend. I hope you sense a pattern here.
