I don't really have a problem with that though. "I won this to prove to ghetto kids that they can succeed too" is what her statement boiled down to. Isn't that the message we want to push?

r?

Yeah, it's absurd that people act like they have to show black kids that they can succeed at basketball, be they "ghetto" or whatever term anyone wants to use. That's like saying rich people can have whatever they put their money to. White people are anomalies in basketball. We already know black kids can succeed at basketball, and other sports, or anything they are willing to work hard it, the same as anyone else. What does behaving poorly have to do with being good at something, I wonder? How is it setting a good example for success? "Just act like me, and you'll be good". Obviously Angel wouldn't say that, because she knows that's not what got her to be this good. So what exactly is she proving?

Why did you shift from your Burrow example? Was it because he actually made a similar point that Reece made and it destroyed your argument? So you shift to a wealthy white family instead of just a white family. Dude you’re a joke

I never took LSU saying the way Iowa guarded SC to be disrespectful came from a racial place. I think it came from a competitive place with LSU saying we will burn you if you guard us like that. Frankly, Iowa did not respect SC’s outside shooting. SC never proved them wrong.

Not everything is racial. Iowa guarding SC like that was not. It was believing SC couldn’t shoot. That’s it.
