Whenever you hear a black person say “my people” (or similar) they’re self segregating and specifically mean “black people”. They do not identify as “American”. So “I love MY people” is racist, she’s saying she doesn’t love anyone that isn’t black.

She doesn’t represent this country, she is not honored to represent this country, she is using the opportunity to advance herself and her brainwashed thoughts while insulting the very flag that gives her the opportunity - to both compete and say her garbage.

Maybe it’s time for a ‘black Olympics’...

I don’t want that witch representing the US... let her represent the ‘black community’...

Hey Gwen, it’s not about you. You stole the glory and Victory from the winner and 2nd place winner and made it about yourselves. Shame on you.

I wonder if the other hammer throwers spoke to the White News Network.

I respect my people

If a white person said that the media would demand she be dropped from the event.

I thought that the ‘hirelings’ were German mercenaries; and the ‘slaves’ were Colonists, who were impressed into the British navy.

Exactly. "Slave" referred to conscripts or people pressured to serve. They were majority white.
