Loving this one....Naomi Osaka, a tennis superstar who is JAPANESE/Haitian, who is a citizen of JAPAN, (didn’t realize BLM has made it to Japan) has pulled out of the Western-Southern Open tournament, in protest. It’s too bad she didn’t have the decency to not play at all, thus giving the opponents she beat in the earlier rounds a chance they would still be in the tournament. Another thing that struck me was that she claims it is an “all white sport”, very disingenuous in that Serena Williams has dominated women’s tennis for twenty years and there are many other black pros. In fact, a black woman was President of the USTA for many years.
Here is an excerpt from her press statement:
“I don’t expect anything drastic to happen with me not playing,” Osaka wrote. “But if I can get a conversation started in a majority white sport I consider that a step in the right direction. “Watching the continued genocide of Black people at the hand of the police is honestly making me sick to my stomach. I’m exhausted of having a new hashtag pop up every few days and I’m extremely tired of having this same conversation over and over again. When will it ever be enough?”
Maybe she can take it up with the Democrat Mayors who run all of these cities where these shootings have taken place.
OMG!! Has Naomi been to Chicago? I invite her to come to Englewood or the West Side. If there is a 'genocide' it isnt by the Police.
WOW, that is such an ignorant comment.
“ Watching the continued genocide of Black people at the hand of the police...”
Hey little chickee, if there’s a genocide of Black people happening, you’ll find it at Planned Parenthood and the “clinics”, where it has been for decades.
But her head is too empty to get it.
