In this episode, host J Hall discusses the recent Women's NCAA final game and the difference in response to taunting from Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.

Trash talk in sports is nothing new, but the way it is received and responded to can vary based on the identity of the person doing the taunting and the person being taunted. J Hall dives into the historical context of how Black athletes have been expected to handle such situations compared to their non-Black counterparts.

Through personal anecdotes and musing, J Hall sheds light on the impact of racial bias in sports and the unique challenges faced by Black athletes. Join us as we explore the intersection of sports and race in the History of Being Black podcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
