Clothesline Privilege
TownHall
Walk through this with me for a second.
Imagine you're jogging down a basketball court on a fast break, minding your business, mid-layup, doing the exact thing you get paid to do. Someone comes up from behind and clotheslines you across the face and neck hard enough that officials review the tape and decide, yeah, that one gets you ejected. You pop up. You're a little heated, understandably, because a stranger just tried to remove your head from your shoulders on national television. And within minutes, the person who did it posts two words on social media aimed squarely at you: "WHITE PRIVILEGE."
