"She's programmed into a level of stupidity" - Jason Whitlock calls out Cameron Brink over her contrasting views on racial privilege

Over the past month, Cameron Brink has been navigating the start of her WNBA career with the LA Sparks. While she's performed well on the court, one analyst bashed her for her comments regarding race in her profession.

While on his podcast, Jason Whitlock spoke about something Brink had brought up during a recent interview. The Sparks rookie shared her thoughts on how she feels white players in the league have privilege over women of color.

In Whitlock's eyes, Brink has been "programmed" by social media to have these sorts of views. He also jabbed at the standout rookie for contradicting herself with her comments.

"She's been programmed by social media to have shame for her whiteness," Whitlock said. ... "This woman bending over backwards to kiss the butt of black women has now just taken a dump on black women.

"She has no idea, but she's been programmed into a level of stupidity."

On the floor, Brink is performing well on both ends of the floor. In the first nine games, she averaged 8.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.6 blocks. Brink's best singular outing came in a loss to the Dallas Wings two weeks ago when she recorded 21 points and three blocks.

What did Cameron Brink say in regard to privilege in the WNBA?

The comments Jason Whitlock is referring to are from an interview Cameron Brink did with "Uproxx." Among the last things she was asked is a goal she will continue to work tirelessly toward. Brink responded by saying she wants the WNBA as a whole to become more iconic.

When asked how she plans to help grow the league, Brink touched on wanting fans to support all kinds of players. From there, she touched on her feelings on the privilege that comes with being a white player.

"I would just say growing the fan base to support all types of players,” Brink said. “I will acknowledge there’s a privilege for the younger white players of the league. That’s not always true, but there is a privilege that we have inherently, and the privilege of appearing feminine.

"Some of my teammates are more masculine. Some of my teammates go by they/them pronouns. I want to bring more acceptance to that and not just have people support us because of the way that we look."

Cameron Brink finished by saying she wants all kinds of players in the WNBA to be accepted by the fan base. She also wants the focus to stem beyond how they look and the clothes they're wearing on a nightly basis.
