Conservative pundit Jason Whitlock has taken aim at Basketball Hall-of-Famer Sheryl Swoopes – who clarified some critical beliefs she had for Iowa women’s basketball star Caitlin Clark.
Back in February, Swoopes made some generalizations about Clark that proved to be incorrect prior to the Iowa star breaking the NCAA women’s basketball scoring record.
Swoopes tried to claim that Clark’s success wasn’t legitimate by saying she was a 25-year-old player in her fifth year and that she takes ‘about 40 shots a game’. In reality, Clark is a fourth-year senior aged 22, who averages 22.6 shots per game.
Those comments caused backlash – with some accusing Swoopes of racism. When clarifying her criticism on ex-NBA star Gilbert Arenas’ YouTube show, the four-time WNBA champion made the claim that ‘Black people can’t be racist’.
Whitlock pounced on those comments calling Swoopes a ‘dumb jock’ before showing his viewers on The Blaze her comments.

Swoopes, who was accused of racism by fans of Clark’s, said ‘Black people can’t be racist’
In the clip from Arenas’ show, Swoopes said that what Clark has done for women’s basketball ‘has been great’ and called her ‘the greatest college shooter I have ever seen’.
But she also believes that people shouldn’t put great expectations on Clark or any other WNBA-bound player.
Swoopes said, ‘When you put these expectations on these young women in college to go to the next level and be immediately dominant, when that doesn’t happen, people come back and say, “Oh, she was a bust, she was a flop, she wasn’t that good.” Just like, let them do what they’re doing in college, enjoy what they’re doing in college, and let them become stars in the WNBA.’
That clarification seems to track from a prediction she made around the time she made her ’40 shots a game’ comment: ‘Will Caitlin Clark be a good pro? Absolutely. Will Caitlin Clark come into the WNBA and do what she’s doing right now immediately? Absolutely not. Not going to happen.’
Whitlock claimed that Swoopes was moving goalposts and trying to make it seem like her words weren’t as harsh as they were.
‘That super strong, angry lesbian culture is going to destroy Caitlin Clark when she gets to the WNBA,’ Whitlock said – even going so far as suggesting the league’s players are ‘planning on destroying’ her when she gets there.
Instead of critiquing Swoopes’ points on Clark specifically, Whitlock decided to pick apart the Hall-of-Famer’s defense that ‘Black people can’t be racist’.
‘Swoops suffers from idolatry,’ Whitlock said. ‘She’s made her skin color an idol. That’s why in that podcast interview, she’s wearing a t-shirt that stated ‘I AM BLACK HISTORY.’

Clark passed Pete Maravich to become the all-time leading scorer in college basketball Sunday
‘Race is her idol. No different from White KKK members who have made their skin their idol.’
He ended his rant on Swoopes, saying, ‘So what if she said a bunch of ridiculous things about Caitlin Clark, Swoopes is a history-making Black queen! She’s above accountability! She owes no apologies! .
‘She’s free to adopt the attitudes, behaviors, and excuses of White bigots, because her bigotry is inconsequential and/or justified! Her ancestors were mistreated, she’s earned the privilege to mistreat others! Like a lot of dumb jocks, she’s immersed in the worship of the Black matriarchy.’
On Sunday, Clark passed Pete Maravich to become the all-time leader in scoring for college basketball.
