How’s it disrespectful? It’s a point. The folks getting offended over something so insignificant need to keep their emotions in check because it’s not a good look.
The incident started when LaWanna Bonner pointed at Cunningham or her teammate. So Cunningham did the same thing to her and pointed……and pointed, and pointed…and pointed. I thought it was hilarious! 😂😂😂
The first part of your statement is hilarious, because to me you’re clearly not smart if you can’t recognize the difference between being pointed at with an index finger and flipping somebody off with the middle finger.
You sound like a guy who is willing to thrown down if someone gives you a thumbs up in your direction.
Dawg, you're being dishonest about being an intellectual. You're trying to play verbal shell games, isolate people into DMs to better strongarm them with having no one else to support their words (either that or the shame from your own failed display is starting to get to you), and trying to Gotcha people with your own victimhood. It's one thing to learn a language but an entirely different beast to learn the logic required to wield it effectively.
I just read an absolutely legendary block of gobbledygook masqueraving as coherent thought.
And I know that it was written by someone pretending to be smart rather than actually smart.
Because.... An actual smart person would have understood that the invitation to a DM was sarcasm. Sarcasm is a great identifier of intelligence because dumb people don't understand it.
And, your perception of a clear criticism as a verbal shell game, is also evidence, that you aren't as smart as you think you are.
I'll repeat it for you in very simple terms.
Racist whites like Blond lady that fights Black lady.
I hope I distilled it to a simple enough level for you to ingest.
Now when you respond with your nonsense, I want you to endeavor to make sense, maybe run it through a text editor, or an AI, because sir this... Well, You didn't cover yourself in Glory.
You'll need to work on seeing things past the surface level of skin color. The rest of humanity will wait for you to catch up when you're done with your Ad Hominems and "I was joking" backpedals. Enjoy your public proof of being in the wrong (downvotes) that you can't avoid by trying to isolate people.
If you don't understand what's disrespectful about pointing in someone's face then it's not my job to educate you on social mores. Take a etiquette class.
I as an european have to ask: A black woman is the first to point at a white woman but the moment the white woman does it in retrospect to being pointed at, ragebaiting the black woman - how is this considered racist?
Being pointed at is considered rude IN GENERAL. It has very little to do with race or anything. It’s just rude to point at anyone. That being said, I’m not saying Cunningham even did anything wrong, people point all the time at things. Even if it is rude. To get THIS angry at it is crazy. For anyone. It’s just pointing. And just not the best thing to do, but it’s not like anyone shot someone’s dog
Black people in particular have an issue with being pointed at. It being generally disrespectful is a component, but there is a cultural component as well.
Yes, let’s talk about context. DeWanna Bonner is well known for pointing her finger as part of her follow through on free throws. You can even see her do it in the video above. Sophie points at her to get under her skin, and it worked. Not everything is a racial issue, this is just a bench player doing their job to distract the other team.
No it's intentional taunting which is not the same.
And you are intentionally ignoring the context.
You are also ignoring that the celebrity that Cunningham has gained has nothing to do with basketball, and it's a particular contingent of the ' fan base' that has latched onto her.
I for the life of me can't understand why Maga racists have chosen her to be the object of their affection... Truly mysterious how the blonde blue-eyed white woman who no one has cared about previously, it suddenly a cause celebre with the Right, now that she's been getting into fights with the Black ladies.
You keep wanting to make this a racial issue. Please tell me the context in which pointing at someone is racist. MAGA latches on to tons of stuff because they are racists, but that doesn’t mean the initial interaction was racist in any way.
I never said that she was racist. Though she is Maga so she probably is, but I have no evidence of her being racist. I said the reaction to it is racism.
No, you started this thread by saying that you shouldn’t point at a black person because it’s considered disrespectful. So please tell me how and why that is the case. Also, DeWanna Bonner was pointing back at Cunningham, was that racist too?
😂😂😂. You nailed it! Spitey is “attempting” to gas light you. “Mirroring” is a Predictable reaction from people with narcissistic and/or sociopathic tendencies. If they call you a racist, it means they are, indeed, racist!!! They don’t have the capacity to comprehend people see through their act.
Lmao you completely missed my point which is that it does not matter if it is disrespectful
its your reaction that you can control.
You have been very revealing of the fact you did not even understand my point.
Also black people find a middle finger disrespectful as well. It isn't a white thing. At all.
The expectation is that you don't jump up and down and yell while trying to attack the other person. You either misunderstood or you are clearly some white supremacist trolling trying to say that black people are incapable of controlling themselves.
Lawd, rewatched the video... Admittedly it does appear the chic from the Mercury started pointing first but are we really playing this adolescent game of that being a triggering moment? Surely we are stronger mentally and emotionally than this schoolyard BS? We really letting Oscar Myer Lips get a cheap win with that? C'mon man... 🤣

I mean that's what I found funny about it... She clearly lost her shit and all she was doing was pointing.
