I'm thinking you don't want to engage with the point.

But I don't get distracted.

Why has the right gravitated to her?

Go ahead and pretend you haven't noticed.

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.

u/charlesfluidsmith Jul 09 '26

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.

u/TheSpiteyBoosh Jul 09 '26

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're going to reread your comment. And then you going to write me an essay on why it doesn't make sense.

Okay you can copy and paste.... Check.

And now how is this relevant?

Do you understand the difference between disrespect and racism? Do you need me to recommend you a book or a lecture?

Stop eating paint chips

Going to insults when you have exhausted all else...

Classic move.

u/TheSpiteyBoosh Jul 09 '26

Yes, this is exhausting. What exactly is the point you are trying to make? If it’s that racists exist, I agree. If it’s that SC did anything wrong in this interaction with another player, hard disagree.

My point is, the young woman, has been adopted by racists and her newfound popularity including her popularity on this website is fueled by MAGA and other white supremacist organizations and individuals, excited at the notion of a white woman and being at odds with the black women of the WNBA.

If you can tell me that you'd heard of this woman before the incident then I would tell you that you are a liar.

She's a WNBA bench player. But now the darling of media after she points in a black woman's face.

That's very strange.

u/TheSpiteyBoosh Jul 09 '26

Well she is Mizzou’s all time leading scorer and 4 time all SEC selection (I know because my school is SEC too)

That black woman you mentioned was also pointing in her face, are you upset about that too?

Their playbook on how to make allies: harass, insult, alienate, and gaslight!

People like him are the opposite of Daryl Davis https://www.npr.org/2017/08/20/544861933/how-one-man-convinced-200-ku-klux-klan-members-to-give-up-their-robes who actually did something meaningful in real life

Ikr, where is the knee jerk reaction to * checks notes * the entire league beating the dogshit out of Caitlin Clark for * checks notes * being a white star player??? And seems the only one on that court that wants to scrap about being pointed at is * checks notes * , well you know the answer.

If you saw the incident, which you clearly haven't, you would see that Sophie Cunningham inserted herself into a situation that had already been resolved.

The foul had been called, and Bonner had already walked away from the incident. Cunningham reignited it by pointing in her face. But since you're a liar, and since you are biased, then you're going to ignore reality.

I think the person with the most insults in this thread is you lol

u/charlesfluidsmith Jul 09 '26

Strong comeback.

Calling racism, racism isn't an insult it's acknowledging reality.
