Description

International superstar Sha'Carri Richardson was just banned from the Olympics for smoking weed after her mother just died. Black people have been using weed to deal with grief and trauma for generations. It's not a performance enhancing drug. The new ban on Sha'Carri is a part of what I think is a theme of anti-Blackness in these Olympics.
