Naomi Osaka nearly moved to tears by messages from families of Ahmaud Arbery and Trayvon Martin

Before each match, Osaka has donned a face mask with the name of a different Black person whose death has sparked calls for racial justice.Osaka has said she's using her platform to spread awareness about social justice.After her match Tuesday night, Osaka appeared on ESPN's set at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, where she was surprised with video messages from Martin's mother and Arbery's father.

They're so strong. I'm not sure what I would be able to do if I was in their position. I feel like I'm a vessel at this point in order to spread awareness and it's not going to dull the pain, but hopefully I can help with anything that they need."In a news conference later, Osaka said the messages were emotional and even shocking."Actually, I was just trying really hard not to cry," Osaka said.

Social justice? Is she wearing a mask for blks killed by other blk in Chicago, nyc, Baltimore, Philadelphia, LA, SF, DC & other democratic ruled cities? Another mix race (called halves in Japan) pandering to blacks. Do they have to be criminals or juvenile delinquent to qualify?

Who is that?

An eight-year-old girl was shot in the back over the weekend in Chicago. She was pronounced dead at the hospital. Where are the riots in the streets over her life? Does it not matter to CNN that she was shot in the back and killed? Answer- NO - it doesn’t fit their narrative

Thank you CNN for exposing this ignorance in the sports world. Blacks kill more whites than whites kill blacks? Why doesn’t she have the names of white people on her face mask?

What an incredible young woman

Big deal. What does this actually do Nothing

USA

She is foolish to wear the likeness of 2 criminals on her face.

The last sentence is dry SAD.😢

Antifa Brats, the new brown shirts of the Democrat NAZI party

Pelosi: This is a beautiful scenic line.

White liberals, smh
