Senegalese footballer, Krepin Diatta has cried out after he was mocked on social media by people who say he is ugly.
This was after the footballer showed off his white girlfriend whom many felt looks way better to be with a guy like him.
Taking to social media, Krepin Diatta expressed sadness because the ridicule also came from his fellow Africans.
He wrote:
“I am very sad to see some African brothers making fun of me. I work for our beautiful and dear African continent and what I receive in return are only insults, mockery of my brothers”.
He however thanked all those who have been showing him support as he beckoned on people to encourage him and not rain insults on him.
“This is too bad of you and racism comes from there. I need your encouragement and not your insults. Thank you to everyone who supports me. Only God makes my strength and I am proud of my physical person.
He concluded by stating that the mockery he has been receiving won’t change anything in his life.
“Your mockery won’t change anything in my life. But one thing is for sure, we are all african.”.
