DiJonai Carrington responds to 'White privilege' post, but leaves meaning of it still unclear

DiJonai Carrington went to Threads to claim "white privilege" following her takedown flagrant foul of Sophie Cunningham despite her intentionally clotheslining her in the face.

Chicago Sky’s DiJonai Carrington finally responded to those criticizing her for posting "WHITE PRIVILEGE @indianafever" after being ejected for clotheslining Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham.

But her response still doesn’t explain why she chose those specific words to post on her Threads account, presumably from the locker room, following her ejection during Saturday’s loss to the Fever.

Carrington quote tweeted a retort to ex-NFL player and sports personality Emmanuel Acho, who said on his "Speakeasy" show that Carrington could not call her foul on Cunningham "White privilege."

"I’ve never once claimed that the assessment of the foul was white privilege (that was your assumption)," Carrington’s reply to Acho read on X. "Try exercising your critical thinking skills, I know you studied psych.

"Furthermore, I’m the LAST thing from ignorant or asinine when it comes to speaking on 'white privilege,' do ya research on that one. I actually went to school, one of the top universities might I add, to educate myself on this exact subject," Carrington, who attended Stanford for four years before grad-transferring to Baylor, added. "I would never use that term as a rhetorical weapon knowing the historical and social weight it holds without having the proper evidence to substantiate it."
