My new Hero. Ukrainian tennis star Dayana Yastremska defiant amid blackface backlash. Ukrainian tennis star Dayana Yastremska is on the defensive. The 20-year-old issued a response Thursday night after being slammed for
posting images of her in what
some loons considered blackface. How sick are these people? Why would someone think that this was racism? Her statement on the picture.
“Earlier today I posted pictures that I thought would spread a message of equality,” she posted to her various social media accounts
after deleting the original post in which she posed topless with half
her body painted black, captioned “Equality” and posted earlier in the
day. “It clearly did not and has been misunderstood.
“I have been warned about the negative impact but I did not — and still don’t — consider it as blackface.
I agree with her, I see no racism. Some folks need to get a life. She apologized to those who took offense, but that wasn't needed.
What say you?
