Dijonai Carrington clears the air on her White Privilege post by calling us stupid and not actually saying what she meant

This whole Dijonai Carrington thing is so fucking stupid. I feel like I’m losing braincells even writing about it.

Quick recap to get you up to speed:

• Dijonai Carrington fouled Sophie Cunningham in a game over the weekend, it got elevated to a Flagrant 2 upon review, she then was ejected
• Immediately after getting ejected, Carrington posted on Threads, “WHITE PRIVILEGE @indianafever”
• Now, every sports show is talking about it

She hasn’t said anything about what she actually meant by the post. Then she saw what Emmanuel Acho had to say about it and responded with what some are calling the greatest tweet of all time. I wouldn’t go that far, but it definitely deserves recognition for how stupid it is.

Dijonai Carrington clears the air on her post by not actually telling anyone what she meant by it

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.

“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”, do ya research on that one. I actually went to school, one of the top universities might I add, to educate myself on this exact subject. I would never use that term as a rhetorical weapon knowing the historical and social weight it holds without having the proper evidence to substantiate it.”

In layman’s terms, since apparently we’re all too stupid to understand what she meant, Dijonai Carrington is saying she never claimed the comments were about the foul assessment itself, and that she’s well-versed on white privilege because she went to a good school.

What it really is: someone talking out of their ass after posting something emotional, and now backpedaling instead of standing behind it. It’s word vomit. None of it means anything. If she believed what she posted was valid, she’d say so directly. When people sense, consciously or not, that what they did was dumb, they retreat into vague, indirect language to steer the conversation elsewhere.

I’m not the smartest guy in the room, but I can spot bullshit from a mile away. Most people can.

When it comes to race in this country, we’re told to hear the other side out, and I will. If Dijonai Carrington has a legitimate reason for believing this was white privilege, say it plainly. Don’t dress up an excuse while refusing to actually take a position. That’s not nuance, it’s cowardice, and it doesn’t move the conversation forward for anyone.

Congratulations on the degree. It doesn’t change the fact that she still lacks the maturity to address this with any real integrity. That’s the embarrassing part.
