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.

Racists attacks happen to white people every day when the word ‘diversity’ is used.

Good point- another irrefutable fact- White folks are denied jobs precisely because of their skin color in such places-

the racism is so evident however in the number of attacks of innocent White people on buses, in restaurants, or just walking down the street.....done almost completely by non White people....

lets not forget what Asians and Hispanics have to put up with too....

I read somewhere a while back that nearly 90% of interracial crime is blacks against everyone else....

so the mean words mean absolutely nothing compared to actual physical harm.

I guess one has to blame something or someone when they simply don’t have it. When she first stepped onto the tennis scene, she was being touted as the next Serena Williams. (They never say Steffi Graf, Maria Sharapova, Chris Everet, Iga Swiatek, Ash Barty, etc). She has won two slams, but most of her career has been hum-drum, getting beaten in early rounds. In 2019 she was ranked #3, ended 2022 at 64 and is currently 30th in the world. Every black female tennis player has been “the next Serena Williams” and it hasn’t happened yet.

The hill pic would indicate a tad more melanin than this pic. 🤔👍 (I realize this is not Sloane)

Probably getting a lot of social media insults, a lot of which are likely race-related. One of the reasons Yahoo finally dropped the comments from their stories is that anytime they ran a story about Serena Williams, hundreds of commenters would show up calling her every racist name imaginable.

She just needs to stay off the social media.

“Racist attacks have ‘only gotten worse’”

That’s because the Lying Left purposefully stokes divisions and fighting among our citizens.

The Delusional Lying left is not part of our American heritage, nor are they loyal citizens of America. America’s motto is “E Pluribus Unum.” - “Out of Many, One”.

That is what America stands for and what our enemy within, the Left, tries to tear down and destroy.
