“Speaking her truth”, sounds like something from a Twitter bio from 2016.

The USA international said Kerr was "speaking her truth" when she used the words "stupid and white".

It’s like we’re listening toOprah.

Chelsea star Kerr denies using 'whiteness as an insult' against police

Of course she meant it as an insult. She said that he was "stupid and white," in the same way you might say someone is stupid and ugly, or stupid and weird. In the context, they are insults.

Forgot to paste in the excerpt:

Prosecutor William Emlyn Jones was quick to jump on this during his cross-examination. He said, “By the time you leave the club and try for an Uber, and then hail a cab, it’s fair to say that, Ms Kerr, you were drunk?” “Yes.” “You were so drunk that you were sick?” “Yes.” “Do you think that your level of drunkenness might’ve had an impact on your perception on what was happening to you in the taxi?” “No.” “Let's be clear about this — do you still believe that the taxi driver was kidnapping you?” “Yes.” “You now know that he drove you to a police station because the police had advised him to drive you to a police station. There is a difference between what you know now and what you knew then. Has the new information made you reflect that ‘maybe at the time we got this wrong’? “No.” “Your impression is someone who was drunk and got it wrong. What is going on in the cab that makes your driver phone the police and then follow their advice? You two were kicking off in the back.” “No.” “When you are asked less than 24 hours later in a police interview if you recall calling PC Lovell ‘f***ing stupid and white’ you had no recollection. If you didn’t remember that, it’s fair to say there’s lots of things that you didn’t remember about that night.” “It was a very distressing night for me. I wasn’t jotting down word-for-word.” “Your memory of the event two years on is miraculous.”

A nasty, entitled piece of work she is.

Again, we need to get this really straight - if a white player had called a cop "stupid and Black," their career would be over before they finished the sentence. But when Sam Kerr allegedly does it, suddenly it’s all about "context"and "nuance"?!

And still, the same people who preach about equality and anti-racism are the first to contort themselves into pretzels to defend blatant racism when it's directed at the "right" target.

This is the problem with WOKE hypocrisy: racism is either wrong, or it isn't! You don't get to pick and choose based on who says it. But of course, in today's woke world, pointing that out makes you the bad guy.

They are the real nazis.
