U.S. shot-putter Raven Saunders told AP Sunday she placed her hands above her head in an “X” formation while on the Olympic podium after winning a silver medal to stand up for “oppressed” people.
What oppressed people? Who is oppressing them?
The International Olympic Committee has banned protests during the Tokyo Games, but Saunders, who is black and openly gay, said she wanted to take a stand.
“Shout out to all my Black people, shout out to all my LBGTQ community, shout out to everybody dealing with mental health. Because at the end of the day, we understand that it’s bigger than us, and it’s bigger than the powers that be,” Saunders said, per AP.
She told reporters after winning her silver medal, “I feel amazing, because I know I’m going to inspire so many people.
“About to inspire so many young girls, so many young boys, so many LGBTQ people, people who have battled suicide. So many people would have almost given up … it’s not just about me.”
She’s inspiring them to pretend they’re oppressed and to show their disrespect for their own country.
If anything whites and heterosexuals are oppressed. The Left thinks they have the right to call white heterosexuals every name under the sun.
She’s lying to the world, pretending we abuse people here. Maybe she should try to live in China for a while.
If anyone athlete is oppressed Raven needs to look at Balrus Athlete Krystsina Tsimanouskaya who was being “Forcibly” sent home, only to take refuge in a Tokyo, Japan hotel. Tsimanouskaya was accused of criticizing Belarusian Athletics Federation. Ignorant folks like Raven really don’t know what oppression is! What it means to have a government oppressing its citizens. Ravens training and meal regiments were all paid for & sponsored, yet she’s so oppressed. No one cares she’s gay, well except the irrational & radical Raven. NBC should get the message why viewership is down, especially with woke clowns like Raven embarrassing themselves & disrespecting their country!
Uninspiring, not impressed, F’ off.
Raven surely has not missed a meal. Bet she consumes more food in a day than any subject in Cuba, China, and North Korea.
“Combined”…lol
Liberals are always ready to defend or convey their most precious possession – their ignorance.
This one IS ignorance personified….
