Legendary WNBA Star Sheryl Swoopes Says That Black People Can't Be Racist
The Spun ^ | Feb 28, 2024 | Chris Rosvoglou

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."

Blacks can't be racist /s

Which is why "Harvard professor Roland Fryer, who at age 30 became the youngest African American ever to be awarded tenure at the Ivy League school, has revealed he faced threats and had to get armed security after publishing a study showing no racial bias in police-involved shootings."

Applying a different standard to people based on their skin color is by definition.... what? Yes, racist.

I doubt Asian people agree with this

Caitlin Clark is the biggest name and draw in college sports right now - men or women's sports. She's like the female Steph Curry, and it's tearing has-been and fired and disgraced and bitter Sheryl Swoopes to pieces.

When the Majority Hutus slaughtered between half a million to a million Minority Tutsis in Rwanda in the 1990s, to what then is it attributed to?

She didn’t dream that idiocy up on her own. She was taught that, and, tempting as it was, she believed it.

The fact that “Sheryl Swoopes” won 4 WNBA championships, and I had no friggin idea who she was before this article, shows how utterly irrelevant is the WNBA in the world of professional sports.

What's more racist than the "top cop" in a major city dismissing her own crimes as just a "black thing?"
