Every Assault In The NBA Over The Past Year Has Occurred Toward White Players

Former players Kendrick Perkins and Gilbert Arenas mentioned last year that there are black players who think white players are not skilled enough to compete on the court with black players, and thus rely upon systemic advantages to compete.

"Most black [people] (and a lot of white guys) think white guys can’t hoop & need special treatment in order to be viewed on the same level," explained former college basketball player and Fox Sports Radio host Doug Gottlieb.

Specifically, Arenas said this is "our league" – as in a black league – and more-than-half-jokingly encouraged further violence toward white players.

The nasty view some players share about white competitors was notable in 2020 when players and media members supported  Montrezl Harrell when he called Luka Doncic a "bitch ass white boy" to his face. 

See, the media and social media repeatedly tell black players that their white counterparts are privileged. Black players are led to believe that white players are their enemies. 

The press has uttered the phrase  "The Great White Hope" several times over the past year regarding Jokic, Luka, and Caitlin Clark – subsequently telling black players that the majority white nation is rooting for them to fail because they are black.

That is, of course, a lie. 

But when you hear a lie enough, you start to believe the lie – even if the facts don't support the claim. Evidently, there are black players in the NBA who now believe that lie. 

NFL players feel the same way ….

But then I saw this this morning:

Dirty As Hell: UCLA’s Sebastian Mack Ejected For Outright Vicious Elbow To Utah Player’s Throat

It’s interesting that the announcer claims, “Sebastian Mack is not a dirty player — I have not seen him do anything like this all year.” So is racial hatred spiking up, or are these just one-offs? Whatever, it seems clear to me that Obama’s (bogus) call for “racial healing is going unheeded; or perhaps, the past 12 years of George Flood martyrdom, BLM, critical race theory, and DEI curriculums are widening the gap. I’m going with the latter, and I suggest that it’s the planned-for outcome.

…. Dan Dakich and Jason Whitlock forewarn Clark could receive the same level of indignation – and perhaps violence – as white NBA players when she enters the WNBA next season.

"She's going to face a level of racism from black players, and she's going to face a level of hostility from lesbian players because she's not on team LGBTQ. She's a Catholic [and] she's got some boyfriend," which means she's going to walk into an extremely hostile environment," said Whitlock.
