Former WNBA champion Natasha Cloud, a guard for the Washington Mystics, isn’t backing down from her criticism of America in which she labeled the country “trash.”
Cloud created a firestorm last Friday when she tweeted, “Our country is trash in so many ways, and instead of using our resources to make it better we continue to oppress Marginalized groups that we have targeted since the beginning of times.”
“Black/brown communities& LGBTQ+ man we are too powerful to still be attacking issues [separately],” she added.
Cloud doubled down on that criticism this week, saying critics should do more than tell her to “move to Russia or China.”
“I’m blessed to travel the world for my career. I’ve been in plenty of countries that I would have my human rights, healthcare, free/assisted schooling, don’t have to fear mass shootings or white supremacists, don’t have to be concerned about the highest maternal mortality rates,” she wrote.
“Less police murders, no mass incarceration based on race, adequate minimum wage, rights to my body as a woman, I MEAN I CAN KEEP GOING.
“Cause these are things that America is capable of…and when I say trash this is what I’m referring to. We choose to allow politicians to line their pockets and spit false and hateful ideologies to pit us against each other.
“America is a business.”
Whether you disagree or agree with Cloud, she’s certainly within her rights as an American citizen.
