Jason Whitlock is adding fuel to the simmering racial tensions in the WNBA by equating white superstar Caitlin Clark to an African-American slave.
‘Caitlin Clark is ”Kunta Clark,”’ the sports podcaster said, likening the WNBA’s Rookie of the Year to the enslaved protagonist of Alex Haley’s 1976 bestseller, Roots. ‘She’s the actual slave that everybody else is exploiting for their benefit.’
Whitlock’s comparison followed a series of attacks on African-American players, whom he painted as ‘angry Black feminists.’
He specifically called out Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese and Connecticut Sun forward Alyssa Thomas, both of whom have been vocal about the racist comments directed at players by fans.
‘Angel Reese is included at the top of that list, and now Alyssa Thomas is like ”let me get my piece,”’ Whitlock said.

Whitlock also accused the Sun’s Dijonai Carrington of intentionally poking Clark in the eye during a recent game – something the Indiana Fever guard has rejected.
‘Caitlin Clark got poked in the eye and injured, black eye, you can still see the black eye,’ Whitlock said Friday, as quoted by Fox Sports Radio 790.
Following the most successful regular season in league history, the ongoing WNBA postseason is at risk of being overshadowed by controversy. While many Clark supporters have accused the league of conspiring against its biggest star, a number of players have voiced frustrations about racist fan abuse, much of which appears to come from Clark supporters.
