“I’m happy, I mean, all year I was critiqued about who I was,” Angel Reese said, via We Need To Talk. “The narrative, I don’t fit the narrative, I don’t fit in the box that y’all want me to be in. I’m too hood, I’m too ghetto, y’all told me that all year. But when other people do it, y’all don’t say nothing. So this was for the girls that look like me, that gonna speak up on what they believe in, is unapologetically you, and that’s what I did it for tonight. This was bigger than me tonight."

I’m not ever a fan of playing the race card but the hypocrisy surrounding the Reese/Clarke thing is pretty astounding to be honest. I wouldn’t have brought up race, though. Let people come to their own conclusions. It’s possible to be a dumbass and not also be racist.

I love that girl and her personality. Very spunky and just speaks her mind. She is just full of life but you can tell that her heart is in the right place.

She'd have a point if the circumstances were identical. They weren't. The only similarity was the gesture, which Clark didn't even make in this game

Reese searched out Clark and taunted her specifically. It was a trashy thing to do IMO

I can't say she's wrong after witnessing the shitshow this has become.

It's been kind of amusing, but also sad, to see the media turn on a young, successful black girl bc she mocked a white girl during a basketball game.

A day ago, if you would have told me this was going to happen, I would have said the media would love it if this happened and Reese would be celebrated.

This should prove to everyone that the media and certain politicians absolutely don't give a frick about black people unless they can use them for political or propaganda purposes.

Make of anything you want to make of it. Angel Reese was clout chasing on national television at her team's should be happiest moment. Then her reasons have been all over the place from race to defending some unknown disrespect to Morris to defending SEC team to oh look at that louisville pic when she did it in a split moment. The moment w Reese was different. You can love it, you can hate it, you can appreciate it, you can call it lack of class. I'll call it clout chasing.

I lived around midwesterners long enough to know they have ann unjustified amount of hate for a group they don’t have to interact with.

I thank god every day I’m not still up there.

ESPN literally ran a piece in the lead up to the Final Four about how legendary Clark's shite talking is.

You should stick to being offended by Trans people.

She has legitimately heard shite all year.

And you could go look at the SEC rant and find threads about tattoos and fake eyelashes.

So it’s not like a made up slight she’s feeling

I cannot disagree with her on this. Caitlin did it and everyone praised her. When men do it they are praised. But when she did she literally got crushed. In this case I think there is a double standard that occurred.

This little gesture is making a lot of people show their true colors.

From the media, to LSU and Iowa fans.

We always knew boomers were soft POS, they're just reinforcing that.
