according to Stephen A Smith, Steve Nash was only offered the head coaching job for Brooklyn due to white privilege
this is swept under the rug of thousands of other horrible takes, but last year Stephen A was also saying that the root of the Celtics toxicity in the locker room was Hayward, because he was white
Not to bring things back to the beginning of the topic, but Stephen A is a sensationalist. I don't think he hates white people. And I agree with the proint that you can't be racism toward whites. Racism is part of systematic oppression. Someone who is "racist" toward whites is just ignorant--not truly racist.
I don't think hiring Nash was a racial move. I think he has tons of leadership experience, a proven record as a player (he's not even an elite athlete and he won MVP), and a very high basketball IQ. Plus, from what I can tell, he's a good guy.
