WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes made headlines earlier this month when she inaccurately stated that Caitlin Clark needed five seasons to break Kelsey Plum's all-time scoring record.
“If Kelsey Plum set that record in four years, well, Caitlin should’ve broke that record in four years,” Swoopes said. “But because there’s a COVID year, and then there’s another year, you know what I mean? So she’s already had an extra year to break that record. So, is it truly a broken record? I don’t know. I don’t think so. But yeah, that’ll go in the record books. And, I don’t think it should be.”.......
"For people to come at me and say that I made those comments because I’m a racist. First of all, Black people can’t be racist. But that’s the farthest thing from my mind," Swoopes said, via OutKick. "I grew up in a very small West Texas town — predominantly white. My best childhood friend is white. Went to a predominantly white college. Won a national championship [and] pretty much everyone on the team was white. We’re sisters to this day. That’s not a part of my DNA."

I know Freepers say “who?” about famous people to indicate they are irrelevant, but I’ve literally never heard of her.
“I doubt Asian people agree with this”
They’re more racist than blacks, generally.
Blacks are the most racist group of people alive, because it is promoted for them to be and it gets the a certain level of credibility.
“Blacks cant be racist” is a very racist thing to say. if you cant see that, if you cant see that you are an angry racist and dont know what racism is.
Or, apparently, intelligent.
Does she mean that black people can't tell the difference between the different races? No, she can't mean that.
Does she mean that black people refuse to discriminate between the races (i.e., treating people of all races the same way no matter what their race). No, I doubt she means that.
Does she mean that the hatred that black people feel for people of other races isn't a sin? Yes, that's exactly what she means.
Notice that “black” is capitalized in the article, but “white” isn’t.
From a long life in America, I most sincerely assure you, NO ONE GROUP is more racist, on the whole, than American blacks.
So if a black man kills a white person purely because he hates white people, the murderer is not racist?
Without a basketball she is just another loud mouthed black women who might find it easier to use DEI for her next promotion
The legacy of colonialism.
“Legendary WNBA Star”
Lost me right there, there’s no such thing.
Nothing better than making a racist statement to claim that you can’t be racist.

Sheryl, now do Jews and Hispanics...
That’s an absurd conclusion. She isn’t remotely near the biggest draw by any metric.
It loses money every year and is subsidized by the NBA.
There are countless examples of black racism on the internets. What she means is black people should get a pass because of slavery....like reparations.
Absolutely. Petty jealously is a hallmark of the loony left.
So blacks are not equal to whites, according to Sheryl Swoopes, a black racist.
