Caitlyn just doesn’t get it….. These black women hate her. Ain’t nothing gonna change that. No matter what success she brings (and has) to the WNBA, they still resent her. That’s what happens when you’re in an echo chamber of hate. They’ve been brainwashed into hating themselves, which has made black women hate everyone else. It’s a Classic Case of Extreme Narcissism. CC “Bending The Knee” is the beginning of the end for the WNBA. Some people can’t ever get out of their own way…..

If bigotry and hate speech is your thing, then the insane, far left, anti white unhinged ramblings from this awful woman may be for you. Frankly, I’m not sure how this podcast is allowed.

Some of those “young men” that gravitated towards Trump, can’t get student loans, can’t afford trade school without those loans. Not all for 4 year universities.
