U.S. tennis player Sloane Stephens says the racism she’s faced has “only gotten worse” over the years.
Speaking Monday at the French Open, Stephens told reporters of being on the receiving end of racist attacks, saying, “It’s obviously been a problem my entire career. It’s never stopped. It’s only gotten worse.”
“Obviously when there’s FBI investigations going on with [what] people are saying to you online, it’s very serious,” Stephens, 30, said during a news conference following her first round win against Karolina Pliskova.

If the world is so racist how she is playing at the French Open?
All these claims of racism and absolutely no receipts. Just claims.
I’m sure early slave traders used nets to capture slaves. Tennis uses nets ... Tennis is such a racist game!
Seriously, I don’t see liberal’s beer drinking, rednecked caricature of conservatives as being a substantial part of the tennis fan base. I’d sooner believe the tennis crowd tends toward those “educated”, liberals.
If there is racism, that’s the group that would be responsible.
>> All these claims of racism and absolutely no receipts. Just claims.
In postmodern, post-Christian western culture — where feelings trump facts and truth is whatever is true to YOU — if you FEEL oppressed by whitey, then by gum you ARE oppressed by whitey! And sometimes whitey is actually brown or black in color!
We white folks have been targets of black folks racism, and “obviously” its gotten worse especially in The last decade, as blm and antifa get very violent and destructive!
See? Anyone can claim racism! Racism happens- you can’t change racist whites no more than we can change racist blacks and liberals. . Live with it or whine about it- choice is yours Sloane.
30? Are her skills diminishing so this being another way to get attention??
No, Sloane, if the FBI is involved, you know it is a farce.
You might say that Sloane is culturally appropriating whitey’s game, IF you were an angry dummy like Sloane.
Oh, and Sloane, get back to,us when whitey goes through your towns and cities and burns businesses to the ground, destroys people financially, and murders blakc folks like blm has murdered white Trump supporters and white cops when The riotswere happening. How many city blocks has whitey burned to the ground in the name of white racism? How many stores has whitey looted out of existence? How many black folks vehicles has whitey destroyed while surrounding their vehicle in mass numbers?
Again, get back to us when you can honestly compare what you have had to go through compared to what blm has put Americans through!
Privileged, pampered, protected. The problem? Getting older, ranking dropped to 36th.
Oh, I thought we were talkin’ a white girl at first. How many “poc” name their daughter ‘Sloane’ down in the hood? 🤔. What a racket....... Anyone? Bueller? 😂👍
Blm is the old kkk- blm are the ones committing the racist acts- the kkk hasn’t done anything even close to what blm has done in the last few decades. For black folks to claim that white folks are the most dangerous group in America is laughable in today’s age when we clearly see that conservative whites are not looting, burning and murdering like blm is. For people like Sloan to claim racism towards blacks has “obviously gotten worse” is nothing but gaslighting lies. Our side can point to numerous violent and deadly attacks by blm and their henchmen antifa while there side can’t point to a single incident of white conservatives doing any of that. Blm does it routinely.
And yet, the Williams sisters seem to have reached the pinnacle of success in the same sport, and of the same color, as Ms. Stephens. Does she think that she is yet another “first”? Has she never heard of Althea Gibson? Katrina Adams? Zina Garrison?
This young woman needs to understand that the slights against her are common for EVERYONE who stands on the athletic stage, regardless of skin color.
News outlets like The Hill always publish these stories without investigating the facts or providing any examples. Of course, there are going to be some racists out there, but I imagine they are a very small percentage. I’m sure there are plenty of people that will post nasty things on Britney Spears Instagram account too. Big deal. Suck it up and live your life.
Blah, blah, blah
Nearly $18 million in winnings. She can sulk and lick her wounds in relative comfort.

Exactly- hate is everywhere- but i will say that black folks falsely accusing whites of racism when white folks are the ones being attacked and destroyed and financially ruined etc is going to create more white racism towards black folks- but the left know this- and that is why they are poking the bear- hoping to restart Manson’s sick helter skelter
Exactly! I swear, ever since Barack Obama was selected as president twice, race relations have been set back two centuries!
Mission Accomplished.
