Team USA Olympian Gwen Berry says she is not anti-American and insists she should still compete in the Tokyo 2021 games after turning away from the American flag during the national anthem.
Speaking to the Black News Channel about the backlash the gesture received, Berry said Tuesday: 'I never said that I didn't want to go to the Olympic games, that's why I competed and got third and made the team.'
Berry, who is sponsored by the leftist defund-the-police advocate group Color of Change, added: 'I never said that I hated the country. I never said that. All I said was I respect my people enough to not stand for or acknowledge something that disrespects them. I love my people. Point blank, period.'

In a way, she’s right, her people are America hating communists with a persecution complex. Ban the bit*h!
In context it should be obvious. If one knows what a hireling is, then it’s obvious who the slave is they’re referring to.
The colonists thought of themselves as a freed people. They set themselves apart from men forced to fight and those fighting for mere money. The colonial slaves the Brits took up, weren’t forced to fight. They did so voluntarily. And when they were done, many relocated to the Caribbean where slavery was legal.
The Flag STANDS for the country.....you hate the flag, you hate the country!!
are we sure she was not a boy at some time in her life?
She disrespected the athlete that came in first. The anthem was played for her. Ignorant.
I think she will throw the next hammer only two feet in protest.
Well Gwen, you may have a few fans that agree with you, but you’ll have millions of Americans that can’t stand you and will be rooting for you to lose big.
Way to go.
Do you mean ‘pressganged’ or ‘impressed’ into the British Navy? I have always thought the term was pressganged.
She’s a drama queen, attention starved idiot. Probably some numb nuts suggested she do this to gain attention and the brainless mass of cells thought it was a good idea.
“I sure wonder who her sponsors are?”
“Berry, who is sponsored by the leftist defund-the-police advocate group Color of Change”
“Maybe either one works?”
LOL! Definitely.
The Black News Channel?! Reporting on urban shootings all day every day?!
Her people?! Who the f*** are her people?
“Impressed” is a bit more formal, but “pressganged” is also acceptable.
Note to Berry: Actions speak louder than words.
The ugly American has been replaced by the ugly Americanx.
Wonderful analysis. Sure enough, the Marxists are forever trying to destroy America by twisting the meaning of words.
She doesn’t have to say it!
How does it work that she was give every opportunity to compete if the US is so racist and unequal. I know what and HOW much money it takes to train and compete.
Did her parents provide it? Did some others?
I know athletes of great ability who never had the funds nor the support to reach the finals. They were white.
She just hates the blue-eyed white devils IN the country.
