Much controversy has erupted over how certain WNBA players treat Caitlin Clark, a white athlete with the Indiana Fever, and many people are pointing to racism. But many people on the left insist that blacks can be prejudiced, but they can’t be racist. A former editorial editor at Harvard’s Crimson publication writes on the ideology here:
As one African-American lead character from the 2014 movie ‘Dear White People’ argues, ‘Black people can’t be racist. Prejudiced, yes, but not racist. Racism describes a system of disadvantage based on race. Black people can’t be racists since we don’t stand to benefit from such a system.’
Therefore, as the left would argue, the abuse that Clark has had to tolerate primarily from black players on other teams must be something other than racism.
This debate goes far beyond basketball, and reflects a mindset of the black community for believing that they are victims. Angel Reese, a black player, has been at the center of the controversy of verbal and physical attacks on Clark, and has alleged that there have been racist attacks on her, too:
The WNBA launched another investigation into alleged racism toward Angel Reese, who portrays herself as Clark’s chief rival. Once again, the league found nothing. Angel Smollett struck again.
Add that to the growing list of hoaxes in the world of sports.
Meanwhile, there are actual examples of racism in the WNBA. Days after Reese appeared to lie to reporters about the alleged racist chants, she shared a TikTok video mocking Clark as a little ‘white girl afraid to catch a fade’ with a photo of Reese trying to fight her.
Last Thursday, Brittney Griner appeared to utter ‘Trash, f[---]ing white girl’ from the bench of a game against the Fever.
But some people recognize the abuse that Clark

Thank you very much and God bless you.
The cultural marxism of the left just inflames the situation.
The fatigue is real. Especially on a Carnival cruise, Walmart, McDonald’s, and Congress.
BTTT
You forgot the disney theme parks.
The left loves to change the definition of words to meet their agenda . They seem to think they gas light you into submission…ie.. Sex/gender and Racist/Prejudice. However, based on their own views, being prejudice is acceptable. SMH.
“They” are merely pathetic racists. Avoid “them” at all costs. These racism-deniers have proven that they are racist.
Jealousy explains it all.
There were very few minorities of any kind where I grew up, and those were normal behaving people.
This country boy had a real eye opener in the Air Force.
While I have met white racists and Pacific Islander racists (and with the Islander ones, it was mostly in joking and fun), the worst, most dangerous racists I've met were inner city feral blacks.
The normal country and suburban blacks couldn't stand the behavior of the inner city ones either.
BTW, a person might claim they can't be racist because they don't have any power or privilege, but hatred by any other name is still hatred.
Some black churches, since the days of slavery, have been built around hatred of the white man. Hatred is incredibly destructive, particularly for the person who embraces it.
Hatred hijacks the brain’s survival systems. It overactivates the amygdala—the part responsible for fear and threat detection—while flooding the body with cortisol and adrenaline. These stress hormones raise blood pressure, impair memory (via damage to the hippocampus), and weaken the immune system. At the same time, the prefrontal cortex—the center of empathy, judgment, and self-control—gets suppressed, making reactions more impulsive and less rational.
Forgiveness does the opposite. It engages the prefrontal cortex and calms the amygdala, reducing the stress response. Neurochemicals like serotonin and oxytocin are released, promoting emotional stability, connection, and even physical healing. Forgiveness doesn’t just feel good—it rewires the brain for resilience, peace, and long-term well-being.
When black people can’t understand White folks hesitate to accept them into white society this is a great example as to why.
“black people can’t be racist”.....that’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.
One of the greatest falsehoods ever perpetrated in America is racism against blacks “because of the color of their skin”.
It’s about culture and ESPECIALLY behavior.
Trashing fast food joints and convenience stores because they didn’t get their way is a great example.
Caitlin Clark should quit the league and just let it die.
Prejudice = Pre - Judge.
If you pre-judge someone because of skin color, that is racist.
Period.
Marxists have always relied on creating definitions of words to suit their own purpose. It is a foundational strategy of the feebleminded, and does not stand up under the most casual scrutiny.
Good post. Right out of The Book, and as you point out, the Creator’s own Science confirms it!
FRegards and Blessings
Same deal, different day.
2015 - Can Blacks Be Racist?

I live in St Louis. Never seen more racists in my life. All blacks! It is really disgusting. Obamas kids.
Root cause ?
SEE the ‘Bell curve’

Don’t forget Popeye’s.
racism: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.
