I too was disappointed to hear Clark's capitulation to the forces of stupid. She has succeeded because of hard work, skill, and grit. She had no more "white privilege" than did Larry Bird, who also succeeded due to hard work and grit. By acknowledging the mythical "white privilege", she diminished her own accomplishments. Sad.

As others have said, Clark is one "wrong" comment from "open season" on her. There's a lot more Woke to undo before anyone can even think it would spontaneously disappear from the WNBA...but the catalysts are there and we may be in a very different place in four years.

This about says it and is quite the cutting statement. “Far too many remain addicted to the orgasmic righteousness they feel when they're socially rewarded for blaming themselves and other innocents for the horrid discrimination and inhumanity perpetrated in America's past.” I cringe whenever progressives use the term white privilege. DEI has become a cloak some good preachers wrap around their theology not recognizing that it’s as unchristian as God and country.

It would really help if the media just ignored these little kerfuffles. Any network that decided to could just say we aren't going to show ideological shibboleths. We are going to cut them out of our coverage. The media is really, really bad about choosing what to focus in on to produce anger.

"Expecting her—or anyone in her position—to have all the answers is unreasonable."

She is an athlete first and foremost. A transformative athlete. Her genius shows up in real time on the court.

We want these heroic athletes (the ones who have a spotlight shining on them at all times) to provide a lightning bolt of meaning for us. We crave it. They must know something we don't know.

When athletes become this big, this public, they act more like a mirror than a light.

And now the machine has her. The star-power money machine is running overtime. Let's hope her studies in Marketing have prepared her to navigate the madness that has already arrived, but I doubt it.

A great take and article. Thank you. We have to get it through our heads that culture is not fixed through politics. Politics is supposed to be boring. Should we build a bridge or increase military funding? Should we decrease SNAP? Increase HUD? That is where we need politics to be.

Why is it that no one speaks of "Asian privilege" in the USA, where they get richer than whites, even in one generation? Because it proves that there is are no systematic "privileges" except hard work.

There's no such thing as "white privilege", just the privilege of belonging to generations of hard work, frugality, saving and wise-investing. The term was coined by the cabal, to destroy the only thing standing in their way: the creativity (check patents by race/countries), the love of freedom, so much as to be willing to give life for it (even using the right to bear arms) and Christian martyrdom (in no other race that ideal spread that much ... so far).

Why is it that no one speaks of mason privilege ... now that's a mind opener! They coined "white privilege" !

- NOT a coincidence that the USA left dollar convertibility to gold in 1971, precisely triggering the exponential government deficit coupled with the trade deficit and inflation.

Taking down central banking doesn't solve the problem. Their source of free endless money is counterfeiting, fractional reserve banking and financial instruments (e.g. derivatives, debt over debt, compound interest above real growth, etc.). Also, insider information, sabotage, infiltration, manufactured news and events to create profitable market-movements.

This is the Achilles’ heel of all nations: the SSS (Satanic Secret Societies such as masonry) create trillions out of thin air and launder them through their Banks, foundations, and foreign loans and “aid”, with which they buy puppeticians and seats in the boards of the Federal Reserve (the only private-run Central Bank in the world), judiciary, corporations, media, healthcare, universities, foundations, political parties, etc.

Caveat: being created in the image and likeness of God (Gn 1:26-27), all humans share the same divine dignity. Under God, no race has more dignity than another. The only thing that counts on judgement day, is how much each person loved, each minute, God and neighbor. God wants all men from all peoples to be saved (Is 2:1-5; Rev 5:9; Ps 2:8). Skin pigment has zero value in face of eternal bliss or damnation, yet racial hate, as any hate, is a turnpike to hell. There’s no room for hatred in heaven. Heaven is being with God. God is perfect love (1 Jn 4:7-12). He’s incompatible with the slightest hate: the desire of evil to others, means being enchained to evil, Satan.

Masons have coined “the white man’s burden” now reloaded as “White privilege”: “an invisible package of unearned assets that I can count on cashing in each day, but about which I was “meant” to remain oblivious. White privilege is like an invisible weightless knapsack of special provisions, maps, passports, codebooks, visas, clothes, tools , and blank checks” (McIntosh, 1988).

It assumes the privilege is undeserved without any proof. Proving that it is deserved, indirectly means that other races fairly deserve less, thus, the proof becomes racist in itself. Catch 22. It’s a circular argument. The only way to prove its falsity is that Asians have thrived in the US in only 1 generation, while non-whites didn’t. This shows that there’s no privilege and no barrier, except hard work and a frugal living!

Why is it that no one speaks of "Asian privilege" in the USA, where they get richer than whites? Because it proves that there is are no systematic "privileges" except hard work.

There's no such thing as "white privilege", just the privilege of belonging to generations of hard work, frugality, saving and wise-investing. The term “white privilege” was coined by the cabal, to destroy the only thing standing in their way:

a) the creativity (check patents by race/countries)

b) the love of freedom, so much as to be willing to give life for it (even using the right to bear arms)

c) Christian martyr-ethos (so far, no other race embraced that ideal as much)

Why is it that no one speaks of proven “mason privilege” ... now that's a mind opener!

Asians have the highest full time earnings: why isn’t anybody speaking of Asian privilege? Because this is a war on whites, especially, male.

The same crazy argument could turn into anti-judaism, considering the percentage of Jews in the top income tier. Or, for that sake, anti-armenians, anti-turks, etc., since those ‘categories’ also thrive in the US above average whites and non-whites.

Why is it that the term “white women privilege” is censoed even among the transectionalists? The cabal needs to destroy all families, not just white, with the false argument that all women are exploited by men, presumed to be guilty of male-chauvinism and a rape-mentality.

If there are any differences it’s because of productivity and individual free choices.

Capitalist competition for profits doesn’t allow discrimination: discriminating talent means losing market share, economies of scale, profits and eventually bankruptcy against the non-discriminating competition. All that matters is productivity!

Earnings show a difference between men and women because they don’t take into account, earnings divided by total hours worked. They deliberately mix full-time wages, without considering part-time jobs and hourly pay, mostly a free choice of part-time mothers and female university students, who are the majority in universities (women’s privilege, another censored truth). The glass ceiling myth hides the hours worked myth!

Another censored counter-argument is the so called “white-trash”. Poor whites prove that poverty doesn’t discriminate the white race and that family support is essential to the thriving of all children: there’s never equality of opportunity if you lack a father. Instead of asking the skin color, social researchers should focus on the destruction of the family.

Privilege ideology tries to avoid that rebuttal by an irrational explanation which is actually a counter argument: “Non-whites who have are of a higher social class than whites would also receive different treatment. Sullivan states that the revised concept of ‘white class privilege’ must be used intersectionally—that is, privilege must be considered interacting with class, gender, national, and other social experiences. Sure, lower-class whites may be treated differently than higher-class blacks in certain contexts, but this does not mean that the lower-class white has ‘more privilege’ than the upper-class black. This shows that we should not assume that lower-class whites have the same kinds of privilege conferred by society as middle- and upper-class whites.” 1

Their conclusion: if a non-white gets rich, he deserves it, but if a white works hard to get rich, it is an unearned privilege, and vice-versa, a lazy non-white doesn’t deserve to be poor because he is underprivileged, while a working white, does deserve poverty because he still has the privilege of being a white poor !!!

“The straight white male is both the provider and the eternal perpetrator. All the problems of the world are ultimately his fault. Whatever he’s accomplished is due to privilege, and whatever he’s done wrong has no excuse.” 2 “In the same way we seem determined to define sex as inherently predatory — “extractive”, with sexual participants divided into takers and survivors — we’re defining political reality as violent by nature, a world of repressors and victims.” 3

Also, this ideology assumes that all whites are racists, even subconsciously: conveniently, that can never be disproven! Even if the white is a relative, friend or fiancée, any white is presumed a subconscious biggot. The most unbelievable case happened in Las Vegas where a student with African ascent was classified as a white-privileged black, just because one of his parents was white, and was sanctioned by the school for questioning Critical race theory4, stating that being black he was presumed to be a racist against other blacks.

White privilege is presumed even in countries without whites: the privilege belongs to the European and North American countries exploiting the poor nation.

This article is totally valid & speaks the truth as the landscape currently lies. However it is extremely negative. Your voice, your work, our work is how we educate. It is for sure a stumbling block to be heard, but we have to believe in the truth. The backlash against Caitlyns attitude & comments speak of the desire for merit. That must and will win. It might be silent, but the numbers are evidence. People are turning away. The entertainment industry for example, being politically correct is not fun. People will pretend for so long, but it’s exhausting, boring & stifling. Of course we can’t rely on a majestic change of government to end it, but it is surely a step in the right direction. One that mustn’t be allowed to stagnate.

What you've just written is the perfect justification for why we should demonize her. Caitlin is mouthing progressive platitudes simply because

1) It is expected of her

2) Society rewards such behavior

Point 1 demonstrates an extreme lack of moral courage. People who do things just because society expects it are NPC subhumans. I imagine most Germans were complicit with the Nazi genocide for similar reasons - everybody else was doing it and it was expected.

Point 2 implies that Caitlin is being given the incorrect incentives. We can easily fix that by changing her incentives. If she is being rewarded by one political side for demonstrating moral cowardice and stupidity, then the solution is for the other side to terrorize her until her fear of punishment exceeds her desire for said rewards. If somebody like Caitlin has no moral courage to stand up for their own beliefs and instead just follows the incentives that society gives them, then they are effectively an animal and the rest of us should be allowed to do whatever we want to elicit the desired behavior out of them.

No, of course Trump's election will not suddenly end wokeness. It started bubbling up before Trump ran for President (the first time) and peaked in the last several years after George Floyd. As more and more people began learning of institutions kowtowing to identitarians by subtly (and then overtly) silencing different opinions, people began to speak out against the oppressor/oppressed dynamic that lies at the heart of the ideology. Trump shows that the preponderance of the electorate (likely the majority) rejects this view.

The seeds of the rejection of this ideology have similarly built up over the years--Bret Weinstein and the Evergreen State affair, James Damore, the Grievance Studies Hoax were all in the early parts of Trump's first term, yet remained generally unknown or unconsidered until the Biden administration promised to "put equity at the heart of everything they do". As Americans began seeing the effects of policies after getting over their original fear of COVID, people saw these ideas for what they were (whether it's masking, "racism is a public health issue", transgender children, or non-citizens receiving benefits citizens do not with public dollars).

Caitlin Clark is a tremendous basketball player with an athleticism and dominance over her competition that draws eyeballs. On other occasions, she explicitly denied commenting on social issues when prodded. But as this article states, once you "say the thing", you can never go back.

With that said, I disagree with the authors that this election will be seen as a watershed moment in ending this movement (for now, as it appears to bubble up every 20-30 years according to @pmarca) as I believe the Gingrich/Contract For America moment was in the 90s (along with the movie PCU amongst other things, or was it Clinton's Sister Souljah moment?).

While there is much to say about this, I appreciate the closing remarks of the authors. With the advent of smartphones and social media, we have become much more atomized individuals. What we lack are real personal conversations, where we inquire, test, and think aloud. It's why Rogan and so many other podcasts are popular. But why don't we each try it with someone outside our own household, with whom we disagree? And do it often? If we respect each other in those conversations, we'll be better off. Instead, we have people cheering assassinations and ending friendships because their "friend" voted for the wrong guy or has a heterodox view.
