Senegalese Player, Diatta Krepin Slams African Social Media Trolls Who Made Fun Of His Skin Colour

Senegalese footballer at the Africa Cup of Nations, Krepin Diatta has expressed his displeasure at insults he has been receiving online because of his skin color. The 20-year-old midfielder who plays for Club Brugge KV, became popular after he scored a screamer, which was his first goal for Senegal against Tanzania during their opening match last Sunday. While others were praising him for his spectacular goal, others took to their pages to mock his physical appearance. This went as far as a troll sharing a photo of him and his beautiful white girlfriend and called them “beauty with a beast”. Reacting to the statement, Krepin said: “I am very sad to see my African brothers making fun of me, I work for our beautiful and dear Africa continent and what I receive in return are only insults, mockery from my brothers. This is too bad of you and racism comes from there, I need your encouragement, not insults, Thank you to everyone who supports me. It is only God who gives me strength and I am proud of my physical appearance your mockery won’t change anything in my life. But one thing for sure, we are all AFRICANS. KREPIN DIATTA.
