Weird that she doesn't emigrate to one of those obviously superior nations.  ???

I did a little google on Cloud because by looks she appeared to be bi-racial and I get real annoyed with bi-racial celebs that go on and on about one half of their ancestry and forget the other half.

So anyway, I was right. It's like Kapernick or Rodman disrespecting their respectable upbringing but in this case a biological parent is present. Her white mom had Natasha with her black father who near as I can tell is not around. She bears the surname of her white stepfather. She grew up in a 90% white neighborhood. She went to a Catholic high school and excelled in basketball which afforded her excellent colleges where she again did good, now a pro. She is living the American dream a lot harder than most of us so STFU.

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

In woke America there's money and fame in being oppressed.

Even if you're a famous millionaire (though I've never heard of her).

"I’m blessed to travel the world for my career. I’ve been in plenty of countries that I would have my human rights, healthcare, free/assisted schooling, don’t have to fear mass shootings or white supremacists, don’t have to be concerned about the highest maternal mortality rates," she wrote.

"Less police murders, no mass incarceration based on race, adequate minimum wage, rights to my body as a woman,"

And you came back to this hell hole for what reason?
The feral government is the only group in the known universe that can promulgate a 26-page form that collects two pages of information accompanied by 24 pages of incoherent instructions, and proclaim at the bottom of page 26 that the document complies with the paperwork reduction act.

Where else can you be allowed to be a whiny spoiled brat and trash talk your country while getting paid millions for playing a game? In many of her so called paradise countries she would probably be a street beggar and they would have had her thrown into a dark prison or even have had her shot by now if she ran her mouth like that there.

Unless one of her two biological parents was mixed race, this would make her half-white and half-black -- 50/50. When you mix paint, if you mix 50% black with 50% white you get gray. And most people would call gray paint "gray," not "white" or "black." So why is it that when people are half black and half white, they call themselves "black" or "a person of color" but they don't ever seem to call themselves white -- which they could logically do with exactly as much legitimacy as calling themselves black.

Because they derive benefits from doing so.  Which makes the whole idea of institutional anti-POC racism a bald face lie.  Otherwise they would claim white ancestry.

My wife great-grandfather was 1/2 or 1/4 Cherokee.  He refused to register with the tribe and also refused to even acknowledge the Indian background, or even the Oklahoma connection.  Because back then the racism was real.  Now?  Not so much.

BREAKING:

Viktor Bout, the Russian arms dealer that the Biden-Harris administration let out of prison in-exchange for Brittney Griner, is now back in business selling weapons to the Houthis

The Houthis are sinking merchant ships in the Red Sea and have fired at the U.S. Navy repeatedly and shot down multiple U.S. military drones that cost tens of millions of dollars each.

Such a great deal, we got a USA hating spoiled brat and they got someone who went right back to supplying weapons to people shooting at us and our allies.

Socialist rule of thumb:

Anything whatsoever, however big or small or almost invisible, which can negatively affect the culture, history, or security of the United States, is a good thing, however microscopically it contributes to the dissolution or destruction of the United States in preparation for a Communist takeover.

Complex in its formulation, simple in its application.

Paranoia?

Sure, call it that to diminish its impact and demean its reporter.

But if you start looking at many events in that light, they begin to make sense.

More than likely, she doesn't make much playing for the WNBA in the US.  She makes more money playing women's basketball overseas.  That is why Brittney Griner was playing in Russia. 

Race grift might be more profitable here than women's basketball.  And of course, a white girl gets recognition and brings in more ticket sales and they all hate her.

I hereby declare October as "White Male Month," where we are reminded of all the many, many substantial contributions of White Males in industry, business, science, and politics, the benefits of which all those oppressed minorities partake.
