Years before Olympian Gwen Berry made headlines for turning away from the US flag as the National Anthem was played, calling it disrespectful to black Americans, she joked on Twitter about rape and made disparaging comments about Asians, Mexican and white people.

Internet detectives unearthed a trove of controversial tweets from Berry, 32, some a decade old.


quote:

In others postings Berry mocked and made scornful comments about Asians and Mexicans.

“Just saw this gurl wearing heels with white socks!! What the Hell..#chineseppl always try to start new trends..smh..ggguuurrrllll,” she said in 2011.

“Mexicans just don’t care about ppl,” she said in November 2012.

Berry also made light of rape in a tweet from October 2012.



quote:

“I’m about to rape my lunch,” she tweeted. “[Shout out] to all the females that’s gon get drunk, get recked by 4 dudes, then cry rape this weekend,” she added in another from the same year.

The tweets would have been posted long before Berry’s Olympic career and when she was in her early 20s.

Berry has moved to delete at least some of the postings after they were first unearthed.

If she was white, people would be outraged but because she’s black, they’ll say…oh, it was 10 years ago!

The one about Basketball Wives is probably the worst. Change the target of the comment (leaving the claims otherwise unchanged) and imagine how it would go over.

It’s funny when it happens to these anti-American pieces of shite but I wish we could go back a decade to where no one cared about stuff like this. It’s amazing how quickly society devolved in the 2010s thanks to social media.
