REVEALED: Flag-snubbing 'activist athlete' Gwen Berry's history of racially-charged rape jokes and tweets mocking white, Mexican and Asian people

Olympic hammer thrower Gwen Berry's history of offensive tweets has been uncovered after she snubbed the American national anthem during trials last weekend.
Berry, 32, made a variety of tasteless jokes and observations in messages dating back up to ten years, but which are still visible on her account.
The athlete - who has insisted that the National Anthem is racist - posted tweets mocking Chinese, Mexican and white people.
Posts also include ill-judged jokes about rape, suggestions she would 'stomp on a child', as well as using the word 'retarded', widely seen as being offensive and disrespectful, Fox News reported.
The revelations come after Berry turned her back last weekend when the national anthem was being played after her Olympic qualifier.
Toward the end of the anthem, Berry picked up a black T-shirt with the words 'Activist Athlete' emblazoned on the front, and draped it over her head.
She has claimed that she was 'tricked' into being there at that moment, and was enraged and confused, insisting the anthem did not represent her - but that she still loves the United States.
On Friday, tweets she had posted earlier in her career began recirculating online.
The majority of the tweets came when Berry was in her early 20s - well before she was on the Olympic teams for Rio in 2016 and Team USA for the 2014 Pan American Sports Festival, however she was still competing for the U.S. at a national level.
Some of the tweets appeared to mock people based on their race, with Berry writing in November 2012: 'Mexicans just don't care about ppl'.
In April 2011 she wrote: 'Just saw this gurl wearing heels with white socks!! What the Hell..#chineseppl always try to start new trends..smh..ggguuurrrllll.'
'This lil white boy being bad as hell!! I would smack his ass then stomp him!! Smh #whitepplKids hella disrespectful,' she tweeted in Jun 2011.
'White people are sooo retarded when they are drunk,' Berry wrote in a tweet later that same year.
'This lil white boy being bad as hell!! I would smack his ass then stomp him!! Smh #whitepplKids hella disrespectful,' Berry wrote in a June 2011 tweet.
'#BasketballWives is proof that white ppl run they got damn mouths too much n they nosey as hell n they start drama btw crazy blk b&^%^%' she tweeted in July 2011.
‘Julie from #BGC gotta nice ass body for a white girl,’ Berry observed in October 2012.
In another tweet she seemed to mock victims of rape, writing in March 2012: ’S/O to all the females that’s gon get drunk, get recked by 4 dudes, then cry fuck this weekend'.
'I'm about to rape my lunch,' she wrote in a non-sensical tweet from October that year.

She got her sponsor.
A racist is a racist, no matter which race(s) your hatred is directed at.
On this point, even someone you would usually not find yourself agreeing with, “Reverend” Al Sharpton, agree.
