Stephen A. Smith Admits Black WNBA Women Are Jealous Of Caitlin Clark Because Of Her Race

Stephen A. Smith admitted to what only OutKick has written for the past four months: women in the WNBA are jealous of Caitlin Clark and race is a contributing factor. 

"There are girls – young ladies – in the WNBA who are jealous of Caitlin Clark. She is a White girl that has come into the league," Smith said while discussing Chennedy Carter shoving Clark to the floor on Saturday.

"She has bursted onto the scene. She hasn’t proven herself yet. It’s not even about them thinking they’re better than her because they probably know it at this particular juncture because they’ve been playing on a level she just arrived to.

"One would think that folks would be smart enough to recognize and appreciate that about Caitlin Clark – piggyback off of that to their benefit and praise her and support her for it while competing on the court against her."

He's right – about all of that.

We hope he doesn't backtrack. Smith is known to make a good point, upset Black Twitter, and then cave. 

Last month, he apologized to the "black community" for citing polls that suggest black Americans relate to Donald Trump's feeling that the system is persecuting him. 

Carter could have separated Clark's shoulder. Angel Reese cheered the cheap shot. Carter doubled down on X, liking tweets encouraging her to injure Clark further. WNBA influencers like Kelsey Nelson and Monica McNutt defended Carter for the incident. 

The WNBA did not suspend or even fine Carter.

The precedent is set.

At this rate, Caitlin Clark is going to be seriously injured on the basketball court.

We explained on Sunday:

How women of color in the WNBA feel about Clark is a symptom. A racialized culture is the cause.

History taught us long ago that when society inflames racial hatred, violence usually follows.

Already, society preaches to black Americans that white people are their enemies and their oppressors. According to a recent Gallup poll, most black people believe that.

White derangement syndrome is real – particularly when involved in historically black spaces, like professional basketball. And that's the reality Caitlin Clark faces. 

"What we’re going to do is give the level of appreciation that it deserves in terms of the venom and potential hostility that exists toward this ‘golden girl’ who happens to be white and how the WNBA is promoting her," Smith concludes. 

Ultimately, very few people in the media have the stability and courage to defend Clark against her jealous, gratuitously aggressive black counterparts – understanding the race mob is looming. 

Stephen A. Smith is the most influential voice in the sports media. He has the platform to shine a bright light on the hatred stemming from Clark's arrival in the WNBA.
