Lolo Jones would have no problem with black, white, brown or yellow twitter if she’d simply cut the act and treat people the same way she wants to be treated.
Jones found herself on the end of some “hate” from “black twitter” after she decided to engage in a conversation about being biracial after retweeting an article on Taye Diggs.
Truth. My Mom always said I'm biracial and only claiming black means I'm disrespecting the 9 months she carried me https://t.co/0bl76dkLbe

The social media haters came for Jones, likely remembering all the not so nice things she’s done.
OH FUN the hate in from black twitter
" we don't claim you"
Why if a biracial kid says they are both do black ppl take it as an insult?

I am both. I accept both. Deny neither. I Love what both sides have given me.
The only "race" I will ever claim is the 100m hurdle race.

The struggle is real for Lolo.
