I'm tired of white folks telling black people who they should be praising.

[tania]

The women on the swim teams should have refused to swim at all. All those many years of training, only to have some 6'7, big foot man take it all from them.

[cuffy]

White people never miss an opportunity to centre themselves in our struggle.

[rhameseshamilton]

No way I'm celebrating a mockery of nature. Jackie won by hard work and overcoming RACIAL hurdles. This clown just cheated.

[khayeel]

They’re always trying to attach themselves to our struggles and our energy. They do it in every facet of life...sports, music, etc. Smh!

[thatshim]

I’m sick of them always comparing their struggles to ours. The reason why they do it. Is because they know our struggle was real. Im sick of these LBGTQ and every other organization leaching on to our lineage

[nobelelroi]

Use our past pain an suffering too push agendas and benefit in ways we never have while they ignore our current pain an suffering and erase us at the same time.

[mrmaxxx]

Jackie Robinson was pre civil rights movement and he faced hate on top of hate, can't compare at all

[Anttweezy]

They are trying to push this bull as hard as can be

[thomasmcrae]

First they encourage this foolishness now they disgrace disrespect Jackie Robinson great name & legacy. America is despicable

[SportsCleFan]

😑😑 jackie robinson?!...sex segregation?! Wow! 😂🤦🏿 God!

[stayblowedmusic]

They'll never stop unless that evil political party is ended.

[kimmims]

This reminds me of the time a 50 year old man I worked with signed up for a children’s swimming class. Naturally the parents rebelled as soon as they saw what was going on. This 50 year old man was legit mad that parents didn’t want him swimming with and possibly brushing up against the kids. CRAZY 😜

[Sweet-as-banana]

I feel like the alphabets have forcefully latched onto us and now we can't escape. Crazy thing about it is we aren't even supportive of this lifestyle. But to people that don't know us, being in the Democratic party makes us seem supportive by proxy. It's all very disheartening.

[africaart]

I wish half of Black Americans are politically aware as you.

[ArtisanMuzik]

It AMAZES me that I have to explain to my black relatives i dont vote democrat bc of this.

[projectleroy]

Notice how the author changed the headline in the article retracting the Jackie Robinson reference.

[prdeacon]

I sure hope Mike Tyson identifies as a woman and fights lia Thomas.

[westindianprincess]

That man needs to stay in a man's place

[tmajec]

It’s funny that the same IAAF did not allow Caster Senanya, Mboma and the other Namibian lady to compete in their primary events due to “elevated hormonal levels”. They actually wanted them to take suppressants in order to compete. Along the same lines some NZ settler dude completed in weightlifting in the same Olympics
