But the mob’s retroactive ideological purity test won’t apply to her.
Underscoring once again how the most performatively ‘woke’ people are trying to compensate for past behavior, old offensive tweets posted by ‘activist athlete’ Gwen Berry have emerged in which she made rape jokes and xenophobic comments.
Berry made headlines recently after turning her back on the U.S. national anthem, a reaction the Team USA hammer thrower is almost certainly set to repeat if she wins medals at the Tokyo Olympics.
However, just as in the case of U.S. female soccer star Megan Rapinoe, old tweets have emerged from a period of time when Berry’s woke credentials would have been severely questioned.
Several tweets exposed by the New York Post reveal Berry to have made anti-white, anti-Asian and anti-Mexican remarks.
“Mexicans just don’t care about ppl,” she wrote in 2012.
“This lil white boy being bad as hell!! I would smack his ass then stomp him!! Smh #whitepplKids hella disrespectful,” she said in another 2011 tweet.
“Just saw this gurl wearing heels with white socks!! What the Hell..#chineseppl always try to start new trends..smh..ggguuurrrllll,” Berry posted in 2011.
