US tennis sensation Coco Gauff has urged people to speak out on the issue of racial injustice as she promised to continue using her platform to fight for change.
The 16-year-old addressed a peaceful demonstration in her hometown of Delray Beach, Florida, amid widespread protests sparked by the death of George Floyd. The American is currently too young to vote but she urged others to do so to secure a better future and encouraged them to take action in order to find a solution. "I think it's sad that I'm here protesting the same thing that did 50-plus years ago," Gauff said in the video posted on her official Twitter page.
— Coco Gauff June 4, 2020 Speaking upGauff is one of the brightest young players on the tennis tour and sprung into the limelight after reaching the fourth round of Wimbledon in 2019.She's since been committed to using the attention to raise awareness of the Black Lives Matter campaign, inspired by her maternal grandmother Yvonne Lee Odom who integrated a local high school in 1961 during a time of segregation.
Speak up girl
The terrorist group antifa has used the killing as a smoke screen to bring down the economy the obama shadow government is after control and power
CNN can use just about anyone for their photo op and political agenda
What’s sad is these POS protesters beating up women and innocent people. Police brutality doesn’t just happen to blacks. It happens to all races.
Heart with you Coco
And just think that the Black American Negro is a Product of the White Slave Masters Raping his African Slaves so he would have more Slaves to Sell and Work to make more Money.
Heart with you Coco.. seen this in Africa ... we need change it in balanced way in early stages.Can try change after all r through basic kids training but uforever playing catch up. Kids need taught this early no hidden facts no political affiliation no indoctrin but tort early
Indeed very sad, I am convinced that this issue of racism by the skinny white against the backs won't get a way 4 centuries to come despite the facts that blacks are continuing to dominate various fields like sports and are more resistant genetically. BLACK_LIVES_MATTER
Cuz we care about spoiled stars telling poor what to do. Great interview, made Minneapolis look worse.
Qualified immunity makes cops comfortable to kill. Want black people or people in general to stop being killed by police? Want to end police brutality? End qualified immunity. Qualified immunity basically grants cops the right to do anything while on duty & face no repercussions.
That's what happens when people riot. You set the whole movement back a generation.
The autopsy showed asphyxiation by pressure. Chauvin was on his neck but this would have more of an effect on blood flow than air flow. The real culprit would have been the cop on his back- THE BLACK COP!
I can't help but laugh! You're not protesting the same thing as your grandmother or ancestors because 50 yrs ago there were few professional athletes of color. You're riding on their shoulders & in many ways insulting their memories by being such a pathetic, entitled victim!
The only injustice is a lack of Justice. Criminals have more rights than their victims and law abiding citizens. No change will come as long as we tolerate the irresponsible actions of so many.
