Angel Reese Proudly REFUSES to Apologize for Gesture

LSU star Angel Reese, a black woman, received backlash and criticism for taunting with the "You Can't See Me" gesture at the NCAA women's basketball championship game. However, Caitlin Clark, a white woman, received praise and admiration for making the same gesture. Senator Nina Turner and Jackson White break it down on Unbossed.

Angel Reese has defended herself over a gesture she made towards Iowa star Caitlin Clark during LSU’s NCAA Tournament victory over the Hawkeyes. Reese made the “You can’t see me” gesture – made famous by wrestler John Cena – towards her opponent as the Tigers closed out their 102-85 victory, which secured their first NCAA women’s basketball title. She also pointed to her finger, referencing the championship ring she would soon receive. “[Clark is a] hell of a player but I don’t take disrespect lightly,” said Reese after the game. “She disrespected [LSU’s] Alexis [Morris] and I wanted to pick her pocket. But I had a moment at the end of her game … I was in my moment”. Former ESPN host Keith Olbermann called Reese an “idiot” for the gesture, and the LSU forward was subject to widespread abuse on social media. However, many pointed out that Reese, who is Black, was simply repeating a gesture Clark, who is white, had made earlier in the tournament. During a game against Louisville, Clark told an opponent: “You’re down by 15 points. Shut up”. She was often praised on social media for her spirit and swagger. Reese referenced the double standard when speaking to reporters after the game. “All year I was critiqued about who I was. I’m too hood, I’m too ghetto, y’all told me that all year,” she said. “When other people do it, y’all don’t say nothing … So this is for the girls that look like me. For those that want to speak up for what they believe in ... It was bigger than me tonight. And Twitter is going to go into a rage every time.” Follow Senator Turner on: Twitter -   / ninaturner   Instagram -   / ninaturnerohio   Facebook -   / ninaturner.oh   Campaign site - https://ninaturner.com/ 230403__UB06RacistDoubleStandardsLobbedAtLSUSlur
