‘Make America White Again’: Stephen A. Smith Argues Caitlin Clark Discourse Highlights Racial ‘Divide’ in America
Mediaite ^ | JUNE 14, 2024 | AHMAD AUSTIN JR.

Stephen A. Smith claimed the discourse surrounding Caitlin Clark — much like Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement — highlights a racial divide in America.

Clark faced backlash on Thursday for her initial response to questions about her named being used in culture war debates nationwide. She said she wasn’t bothered by the discourse because she didn’t pay attention to it; and that response drew the ire of many online, including Connecticut Sun guard Dijonai Carrington.

Later that day, Clark was asked more directly how she felt about people using her to push racism and misogyny. She took a more firm stance by saying the women in the WNBA deserve more respect and expressed her disapproval of those agendas.

On Friday’s episode of First Take, Smith explained how the nationwide conversation surrounding Clark shows that the U.S. still has societal issues to work on.

“She is a White, young lady,” Smith said, “and she’s been a magnet, in a way, that has benefitted the league in ways that others have not — even though their efforts have been worthy and deserving of being as celebrated, if not even more celebrated. And it’s a reminder that no matter how far we believe that we have advanced as a society, there’s still such a long way to go because in the end, if you’re White, you’re bright, you’re right; and as a result, the shine comes your way in the eyes of a lot of people in America.

It is fomented by Progressivism and recently instigated (2008) by Soros’ Barack & Mike.

Her teammate said today:

Kelsey Mitchell on her team constantly playing in front of soldout crowds:

“I blame Caitlin.”

I think that’s OK.

He’s on ESPN all of the time running his mouth like he’s an expert. He’s pretty insufferable. Racist to the core.

All whites have done was talk about their own demise when they weren’t actively working to hasten it. We have proven ourselves to have evolved into a pathetic and weak people who aren’t willing to take any action to defend our civilization and people. It’s over . We surrendered and committed suicide.

I think the United States will eventually become Estados Unidos while Canada will become Islamic.

“. . . if you're White, you're bright, you're right; and as a result, the shine comes your way in the eyes of a lot of people in America.”

Seems like a lot of athletes have been celebrated: Jesse Owners Jackie Robinson, Arthur Ashe, Cassius Clay, Michele Jordon, O.J. Simpson . . .

Now the spotlight falls for a moment on someone not in that group and the glue in their narrative comes unstuck.

And remember they generally attack as a mob instead of one-on-one, unless the target is very elderly or a kid or small woman.

Everyone else is playing tribal games. Always have always will. Whites are too stupid to even realize much less act accordingly. Half of all whites are actively supporting any tribe but their own. The other half is afraid of being called a racist and is cowed into inaction.

Jesus thunderfumped racist ideas like Stephen A’s 2,000 years ago when He said He came for the Jews and the Gentiles.

Black lesbians act like thugs and Caitlan is supposed to defend them? I don’t think so
