NBA Player Defends American Values Against WNBA Player Tirade
Enes Kanter Freedom, an outspoken advocate for freedom and human rights, responded to Natasha Cloud, a player in the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA), after her recent criticisms of the United States following key Supreme Court rulings last week.
In a tweet on Friday, Cloud expressed her dissatisfaction with the country, stating that “our country is trash in so many ways” in response to the Supreme Court’s rulings on affirmative action and the case involving artist Lorie Smith. Kanter Freedom, hailing from Turkey, chimed in, emphasizing that people often fail to recognize the privileges and opportunities they have in the United States.
“Just ask your colleague Brittney Griner how ‘trash’ America is,” Kanter Freedom tweeted. “Calling America trash huh? Let me know when your season is over, I’ll buy your ticket and we can go together to counties like China, Russia, IRAN, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba & Turkey.
“Forget about calling them trash, I would like to see if you can even criticize those regimes!! You and your family members would be thrown in jail, tortured to death and raped.
“People have NO idea how lucky and blessed they are to be in a country like America. I’m not saying America is perfect, but trust me, you don’t wanna see the other side.”
Just ask your colleague Brittney Griner how “trash” America is.
Calling America trash huh?
Let me know when your season is over, I’ll buy your ticket and we can go together to counties like China, Russia, IRAN, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, & Turkey.
Forget about calling them… https://t.co/A3Kfojx9jQ— Enes FREEDOM (@EnesFreedom) July 3, 2023
Having faced backlash in his home country due to his opposition to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and support of exiled Fethullah Gulen, Kanter Freedom understands the value of freedom and democracy. In 2019, Turkey even sought an international arrest warrant for him, falsely accusing him of being associated with a terrorist organization.
Earlier this year, Kanter Freedom revealed that there was a $500,000 bounty on his head, making him one of Turkey’s most-wanted individuals. He has been a vocal critic of the Biden administration for its collaboration with Turkey’s government while failing to address the country’s human rights abuses.
Cloud, undeterred by the criticism she received, spoke out again on Saturday, challenging her detractors to offer more substantial arguments than simply suggesting she should “move to Russia or China.”
As reported by Fox News, Cloud went on a tirade against any and all of her critics, diving headlong into the morass of intersectionality and critical race theories that have deceived millions across the country:
“Y’all tired of me saying your racist. IM TIRED OF YALL BEING RACIST.
“You don’t know me or my heart. But you still hate me immediately for the color of my skin, being gay, and being a woman.”
Cloud then had a message for “my religion weaponizers,” adding, “y’all the people that killed Jesus.”
The Supreme Court’s rulings last week included the rejection of race as a factor in college admissions, citing it as a violation of the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause. {eoa}
