Black Twitter Is COOKING Serena Williams' Husband Alexis Ohanian Over Black Gymnast!

Serena Williams husband, internet entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian is getting absolutely cooked on Black Twitter, all because he commented on an apparent racist incident that occurred in Ireland.

In a now viral video, an Irish gymnastics league refused to give a young Black gymnast a medal – and embarrassed her, by giving a medal to every one of her teammates.

The video went viral, and caused an international outrage.

On Thursday, Serena’s husband posted about the incident – and claimed that he couldn’t believe that the snub was race-based.

I waited to comment on this because a part of me wanted to believe there was some missing piece of the story that would explain why it looked so wrong. There wasn't. And this happened ages ago with no apology until this clip went viral. Good on @Simone_Biles 🏅 https://t.co/nW0uRMU9XA

Black Twitter is still letting him have it. Here’s just a small sample of the dragging that’s currently going on:

There was never any missing part, I’m afraid. Being married to a black woman, I am sure you have become much more aware of what black people, in a predominately white environment, often face.

It’s a delicate balance b/t waiting to hear all the facts and believing marginalized people when they say they’ve been further marginalized. However, when we lean toward the former, the alleged offender gets the benefit of the doubt — a disparate benefit they’re always afforded.
