Resurfaced footage of WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson talking about white privilege goes VIRAL — 'It was a message being sent to Caitlin Clark'
WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson is going viral but not for anything she did on the court. The Aces center is currently under fire for a resurfaced clip from a year ago that’s already garnered over 20 million views on X.
Jason Whitlock and Steve Kim discuss the damning footage.

In the video, Wilson, who’s courtside, tells teammate Kelsey Plum the following:
“Us, as black women, Paige [Bueckers] reminds me a lot of you. Like you say, ‘It’s not really about me.’ She knows. And she knows how her privilege has gotten her to that point,” Wilson told Plum.
“And also, like, she’s good at basketball, obviously. Like, she understands her privilege. It’s, like, what pushes her over the top in a sense. It reminds me a lot of you, and I mean that as a compliment,” Wilson continued, “praising” Plum.
Steve translates Wilson’s comments: “Hey white girl. You know what, you cracker a** cracker, you have a lot of white guilt, and I approve.”
“This is the problem that a lot of people have with Caitlin Clark fans and supporters — they don't buy into [the white privilege narrative],” he explains, adding that “one of the more interesting aspects of this fan-hood is that some of the biggest supporters of Caitlin Clark are not whites; they're actually black males.”
“Many of these people, like A’ja, are so used to being able to dispense and force white guilt upon others that when people don't comply, then it becomes something they can't even handle,” Steve continues. “This [WNBA] playoff ratings dip post Caitlin Clark is the sports version of white flight and gentrification.”
Jason agrees, calling Steve’s comparison “a good analogy.”
Wilson’s comment “was a message being sent to Caitlin Clark,” he says, adding that it’s also “a message to Nike.”
“A’ja Wilson has a signature shoe and logo with Nike. No one's going to buy her shoe; no one cares, but Nike is bending over backwards trying to please A’ja Wilson and Dawn Staley and the whole BLM crowd by” acting like they have “to promote A’ja first.”
“So there's a mindset that A’ja has to adopt to justify getting treatment she knows she doesn't deserve,” says Jason, comparing Wilson to retired NBA player Tim Duncan, who he says was a great player but not one who sold shoes.
“She has to adopt this mindset of ‘I'm owed this, and you white girls need to back your a** up while I get what's owed to me,” he explains, calling it “endless reparations.”
Steve says the marketing of A’ja Wilson’s shoe is basically just suppressing Caitlin Clark’s up-and-coming shoe.
“They are marketing A’ja Wilson by suppressing anything having to do with the most popular player in the league by far,” he says, joking that Clark’s shoe needs to be named “Air Suppression.”

HILARIOUS: Alex Stein teaches infant about her white privilege
Teaching children that they’re innately immoral based on their skin color is never funny. Unless, of course, it’s a joke that Alex Stein of “Prime Time with Alex Stein” is making.
BlazeTV’s resident comedian drew laughter heard around the world — literally — when a bit of his making fun of critical race theorists landed on Sky News Australia.
“The left wants critical race theory shoved down children’s throats, from kindergarten onwards, to make sure they’re aware of their white privilege and victim hierarchies. But how soon is too soon to teach the young'uns about what awful racists they are?” Sky News host Rita Panahi asks.
“Well, comic Alex Stein thinks it’s never too early,” she adds before playing the hilarious clip.
“At one point, your ancestors owned slaves,” Stein says to an adorable white baby, who coos lightly. “Yes, they did, I don’t care what they tell you; even if you’re not related to them. You being white is oppressive to a whole group of people. You are an oppressor, do you understand that?”
“The earlier you understand that you’re an oppressor to not only black people but also Hispanic people that are here illegally—” he continues before being cut off by the baby loudly babbling, looking confused.
“Yes, you are oppressing illegals,” he says sternly, as if she was arguing.
While Stein stands by his humorous criticism of critical race theory, he tells Rita Panahi that it’s not the worst thing the left is doing to children.
“The most disgusting thing that they want to do is they want to actually do sexual education in elementary school. So critical race theory isn’t even half as bad as what these people on the left really want to do,” Stein explains.
“So this is obviously satire, and you know, went semi-viral on Twitter because people are just laughing and mocking it because this is sadly the real truth of what’s happening here in America,” he adds.

WNBA's Cameron Brink says 'younger white players' have privilege because they look more feminine than 'masculine' players
WNBA player Cameron Brink said that young, white players in the league have privilege because they appear more feminine than some of the more "masculine" looking women in the league.
Brink was the second-overall draft pick for the Los Angeles Sparks in the 2024 WNBA draft, only behind Caitlin Clark.
The 6'4'' player was asked about her first few games in the professional league and how she hopes to change it for the better. Brink was asked what the most tired narrative around women's sports was and referred to herself and Clarke as having certain expectations placed upon them.
She said the idea that veteran players are "against the rookies" or the "old-school versus new-school" narrative was one that she didn't particularly buy into.
"I feel like Caitlin Clark has that the worst right now, but even I get that. ... We're expected to be perfect. We were drafted to high-drafting teams coming off of losing seasons, which is fine. It's a learning process. But people expect us to be perfect, and it's freaking exhausting."
'I will not rest until the W is even more iconic than it is now.'
Brink was also asked in her interview with Uproxx what part she wants to play in making the WNBA a more "iconic" league.
She responded by saying that she wants to grow the fan base to "support all types of players." By that Brink appeared to mean that she would prefer if fans also supported players who don't look "feminine."
"I will acknowledge there's a privilege for the younger white players of the league. That's not always true, but there is a privilege that we have inherently, and the privilege of appearing feminine. Some of my teammates are more masculine," Brink claimed. "Some of my teammates go by they/them pronouns," she added.
Brink partially blamed herself for dressing "femininely" and said that she wants players to be popular for reasons other than their looks.
"I want to bring more acceptance to [masculine women, pronoun users] and not just have people support us because of the way that we look. I know I can feed into that because I like to dress femininely, but that's just me. I want everyone to be accepted — not just paid attention to because of how they look."
The basketball star was asked to finish the sentence "I will not rest until ..." to which she replied, "I will not rest until the W is even more iconic than it is now."

Katherine Maher and her ilk don’t even see the problem of the ideological conformity their institutions have coercively created.THIS anti-white statement by Ilhan Omar should have ENDED her career
Ilhan Omar loves to point the finger at white men.
This isn’t the first time she’s said something overtly racist, although we’re certain she wouldn’t call her statements racist, since racism allegedly doesn’t exist if it’s pointed at white people.
“A lot of conservatives in particular would say that the rise in Islamophobia is a result not of hate but of fear … what do you say to them?” asks Mehdi Hasan.
“I would say our country should be more fearful of white men across our country, because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country,” she responds.
Now just imagine the severe repercussions that would inevitably ensue if a white person were to say that same statement about literally any other race.
It’s no surprise Dave Rubin calls Omar a “noted racist” and an “awful human being.”

Caitlin Clark attacked on and off the court; critics accuse her of ‘white privilege’
Caitlin Clark was on the receiving end of a hard foul from Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter during her WNBA game on Saturday — and it seemed the attack was for no apparent reason.
While no one is sure what prompted the attack, Sunny Hostin of “The View” has a theory.
“I do think that there is a thing called pretty privilege, there is a thing called white privilege, there is a thing called tall privilege, and we have to acknowledge that,” Hostin began.
“And so, part of it is about race because if you think about the Brittney Griners of the world, you know, why did she have to go to play in Russia, because they wouldn’t pay her,” she concluded.
Lauren Chen agrees that there is such a thing as pretty privilege and tall privilege but does not agree with Hostin’s comments about race.
“I think tall privilege is especially going to help you in the WNBA, but I just don’t understand the obsession with automatically, we have to make it about race. From what I understand, it seems like Caitlin Clark is measurably just a better player than these other women, regardless of what their race is,” Chen says.
“I think it’s just a lot easier to say, ‘Oh, well you’re only making it because you’re white,’ then just admit that ‘Yeah, you’re actually better than these other players,’” she adds.
While Chen disagrees with Hostin’s take, "The View" cohost isn’t alone in her views.
Jemele Hill also called Caitlin Clark’s fame “problematic” and about “race and sexuality.”
“We would all be very naive if we didn’t say race and her sexuality played a role in her popularity,” Hill told the L.A. Times. “While so many people are happy for Caitlin’s success — including the player; this has had such an enormous impact on the game — there is a part of it that is a little problematic because of what it says about the worth and the marketability of the players who are already there.”
“Well, maybe marketability is in part based on performance,” Chen comments. “And it kind of seems like Caitlin Clark is just a better performer regardless of her race or her sexuality.”
