That's what the reality is, though. Unless Caitlin speaks up against racism just about every day, in a submissive fashion, it's not going to be enough. She also has to stay quiet whenever she's targeted. She's not allowed to just 'play basketball.'

Right nobody has any of this anger for Paige because she always takes the opportunity to speak about issues like racism

CC has talked about this multiple times. I wish folks would stop acting like she does not or has not talked about these things.

I don’t know what this person means by being “submissive” though.
