Steve Nash gets woke

 I see where Steve Nash has fessed up to his White Privilege. I always thought there was a wiff of White Privilege behind his career. How else would a guy 6'2" get into the NBA?

There you go; White Privilege! 

But that's not what Steve was talking about. No, it's about his coaching gig. Seems he took the Whites Only fast-track to a head coaching job, which he obviously did.

So here's what bugs me about this. Steve, just like that school board superintendent who apologized for her white privilege a couple of years ago out in BC, is willing to spew a little woke-speak, but he won't follow through by doing the right thing. And if his remarks are even remotely sincere, renouncing his privilege has to mean declining the job, if it means anything at all.


Do the right thing, Steve, or live with the shame of being just another virtue-signalling hypocrite.

The terrible burden of white privilege

Embarrassing shit can happen when white folks get woke. Take this for example;

 

Ms. Downs is Superintendent of Schools for School District 74 in British Columbia.  According to the BC sunshine list, she pulled down $158,530 in 2016 for doing whatever it is that school board bigs do, which near as I can tell involves a lot of liaising with other educrats to invent bullshit reasons for why their graduates can't read or write and struggle with grade-school math.

You'd think that if Ms. Downs was truly troubled by her white privilege she'd do the right thing and step down. After all, for a school district that is 60% native Canadian, there's got to be some capable aboriginal candidates around willing and able to do the job.

Instead, we're treated to this fatuous exercise in virtue signalling.
