Dijonai Carrington is a WNBA player who committed a very flagrant foul on Sophie Cunningham the other day. After she was ejected from the game, she tweeted 'white privilege.' Like, within seconds of being thrown out of the game. Now, she's claiming that tweet had nothing to do with that foul. The foul she committed on a white player she dislikes.
Somebody needs to share this message to Dijonai Carrington.

You can’t call that foul “white privilege.” pic.twitter.com/9CJaw9LYlg
This sportscast tried to explain why her tweet was silly.
I’ve never once claimed that the assessment of the foul was white privilege (that was your assumption). Try exercising your critical thinking skills, I know you studied psych. Furthermore, I’m the LAST thing from ignorant or asinine when it comes to speaking on “white privilege”,… https://t.co/mykXGTtiXJ

Obviously, she was humiliated after being called out, so she did a really lousy job of trying to walk it back.
Oh, so she just randomly tweeted white privilege for no reason associated with the game she was just ejected from?
they are arguing with an *early* Stanford University graduate with a major in African and African American studies about what is and what isn’t white privilege man. out of their depth fr. https://t.co/RQBEzv4WFp

First of all, that's a major athletes pursue so they don't have to go to class. Secondly, they aren't arguing 'white privilege'. They're arguing the foul or all the uproar had nothing to do with 'white privilege'.
This may be the greatest tweet of all time.

Says she didn’t mean white privilege about her flagrant foul call on Sophie Cunningham (okay lol) and then flexes where she went to school.
Still missing? What she actually meant from her post. https://t.co/MmaDiMlxM8
Maybe she’ll explain on threads… https://t.co/KHHkMM7TjW

Where no one reads.
This statement leads to two follow-up questions:

1. What did you mean?
2. What evidence do you have? https://t.co/4BOscglLa8
Don't confuse her with all this logic.

And she still isn’t explaining what she meant to the vast majority of people not having had the chance be to get the Stanford education she is speaking of

An abstract post after an ejection will get it own legs if not explained to the “critical-race-theory-less”masses https://t.co/5KNKlNvorW
Also, her Dad was an NFL player for many seasons. She went to expensive schools and then an expensive college. She has known more privilege than 90 percent of American young people.
“Black privilege” ; clothes-lining a white girl and thinking YOU’RE the victim.
