What It's Like Being The Only Black Athlete On Your Team | WHO’S INTERVIEWING WHO?

- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- While the majority of the athletes in the NFL and NBA are Black, there aren’t nearly as many people of color competing in hockey, fencing, or golf at the highest levels. In this episode of #WhosInterviewingWho, we got Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad, former NHL pro Akim Aliu, and pro golfer Chris Clark together to discuss their experiences as some of the few Black athletes working to perfect their craft while navigating traditionally white spaces. They discuss the pressure to conform, confronting racism in the clubhouse, what it takes to create more inclusive environments for future generations and more.
New episodes of #WhosInterviewingWho drop Thursdays on @UNINTERRUPTED's RUclips.

Super interesting perspective, great content!
Exactly. I was glued to it. Definitely, one of the best videos. Glad they do what they do.
Great conversation. Would love to hear more from each of them
Amazing conversation🔥🔥🔥
Literally had the same experience in college as Akim. The first thoughts were don’t respond as the “angry black woman.” Such a disappointing feeling and sad those are our first thoughts.
And the fact that I still tell myself that is sickening like wtf everyone gets angry
I got in trouble at work cause I disagreed with what someone said at a team brief. They said that it felt like I bullied them. I didn't apologize for what I said I apologized for how I said it and how I made them feel. I'm lucky to be a part of a union cause I wouldn't have a job rn without them. It happens everyday. I always wondered why my mom said I had a temper even though my peers had way worse of a temper than me. I pray my son can have the same benefit they do
Youre a liar
Not only is this an important topic that I’m glad is being talked about here, but the quality of how this video was made and edited is great.
Great conversation
Stay tuned, we're just getting started 🚀
This was amazing segment.
Awesome conversation!
Please attempt to include Lewis Hamilton in this discussion; it would be really interesting to hear his perspective on being the only person of colour in Formula One.
Lewis is the biggest star in formula 1 and is the highest paid driver at damn 50 million a year. Honestly that doesn’t make sense at all please stop creating problems. There are other minorities in formula 1 and just because he is black doesn’t change anything. Sainz, albon, perez etc...... please don’t focus on just Hamilton. This is coming from a minority as well.
I’m the only black girl on my college volleyball team and it’s so difficult to have conversations with teammates and “friends” about my struggle in school and sports and I always feel like I can’t really brag about my accomplishments just to not feel arrogant. I hide my depression with a smile and it’s been very difficult to hide my emotions
Thanks for doing this video.
Thanks for watching - more coming every Thursday!
@@Uninterrupted thank you for the invite! Will do 🙂.
I love love love this
Seconded. Amazing conversation👌🏽
We're gonna be back every Thursday for the next 7 weeks with more conversations like this - hit the notification bell so you know when they're up!! 🔔
@@Uninterrupted will do🙏🏾
this was great. I'm mad that I'm just seeing it.
This conversation is just sad for so many reasons.
The same could be said for white kids in all black schools. I had to deal with that as a youth. It wasn't that fun either. I had to deal with a bunch of hate from a lot of hateful people for no reason.
Agreed
go find THAT platform
THIS ain't for "you"
Y'all are Israelites! Don't shave your beard king.
Jeremiah 14:2
“Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.”
JOB 30:30 KJV "My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat."

Damn being a poc, I'm Black
Blah blah....No one cares about skin color...Only blacks & leftists
Be you. Be Great. 🤬 Bigots.
More convos like this please.
P.S., not all country music 🎶 is bad. I don't think all of them are singing bigots ...like all Rap isn't about ____ , but I do understand the point. ❤️
Respect.
Yomamen
Until when people will continue to be ignorant or choose to be one 😞
If it doesn’t bother y’all then y are y’all taking ab it
does the muslim women know that the Arab Slave trade in East Africa took place?...kinda weird slamming American History while adapting a Religion and Culture from a Region of the World who practiced the Slave Trade for 500 years longer then the Colonial Powers back in the Day.
What is a "white Spaces"? Are or white? I've never seen a person that ispeople actually black white or black....That would be strange...
Intentionally dumb I see
Its a space, in a white majority country, where black people feel oppressed or not treated as special simply because they CHOOSE to live there.
Dramma
Akim aliu loves being a victim, everything is ALWAYS black and white black and white black and white, get a new motive dude shits sad. He played for over 20 teams in his professional career, 20 teams!! Only other player close to that is Rob Schremp who has been rumored to have a poor attitude for years. Makes you wonder. Definitely don’t condone his treatment but it definitely seems like he has an attitude himself, at least during his career
