Cultural appropriation at the Olympics.

@clayrivers Because she's Black.
They only view us as basketball and football players.
Or the cleaning crew.
In 2026.
@IveyJanette I Was watching the Olympics that year and saw it go down with my own eyes. What a travesty. The documentary somebody did on her career was phenomenal, triumphant, yet sad. Because … you know … racism.

@clayrivers They don't think we can skate,swim or ski. Even in 2026.
We were banned from rinks,pools and beaches back in the day. I know all the stories thanks to my mom and grandma.
Surya Bonaly and Tai Babilonia should have been hailed as pioneers on the rink. Instead,they were pushed aside.
I refuse to watch this year's Olympics because of that racist legacy.
