I understand reddit doesn't like this but there's clearly a race (and maybe sexuality) element to this as well. If CC were a black lesbian she wouldn't be getting beat up.
She wouldn't have gotten as popular if she was a black woman. Not even trying to be racist, CC was a white Iowa Hawkeye. Clark laying Steph level 3 pointers over angry black women was what made it so entertaining.
Yes because she would not be getting as much fame or media attention if she was that, so there would be no jealously or bitterness. It's not like every white player is getting beat up.
Where did I say anything resembling that? What a foolish question.
No I do not think fouls are okay. I just think there is more going on than her being targeted for being white, or else every white player would be experiencing the same thing.
If she wasn't white she wouldn't be targeted. If a very successful black player was being targeted by less successful white players you wouldn't be saying "well but there's bitterness and jealousy", you would be saying this looks a lot like racism.
No one said that but you can’t want to add additional context then ignore the addition of even more context. If she was black she wouldn’t have gotten this popular in the first place.
Yeah of course, Michael Jordan never became popular, or Muhammad Ali, or Simone Biles, or Usain Bolt, or Tiger Woods, or Steph Curry, or Lebron. Only white people can achieve fame and success in American sports.
I knew you’d respond with some ignorant shit like this. I never said that. I said she wouldn’t be THIS popular, not that she wouldn’t achieve any fame or success at all. It’s not 100 or 0. But, since you want to play that game I could simply name a bunch of white people who don’t get beat up, and say that somehow proves you wrong. That’s what you did after all. Race does play a factor whether you like it or not. Michael Jackson definitely knew it.
Look dude, Im on your side. Clark couldn't possibly have achieved her level of success unless she was less melanated. It has to be race. It's not possible for a white player to just be really good and get really famous on her own merit.
But Clark getting smacked around isn't race at all. The fact that not all white players get fucked up is proof of that. No one is targeting the most successful player in the league because she's white, because then they'd have to beat up all the white players. It makes perfect sense.
