Former NFL running back Herschel Walker on Monday blasted celebrities who claim African Americans are “oppressed,” pointing to his own story as a “poor Black kid from South Georgia” who went on to represent his country in the 1992 Olympics. Walker, 58, made the comments on a Twitter post in which he wrote that people are “BLESSED” to be living in the United States. “I started thinking, this poor Black kid from South Georgia got a chance to represent the United States of America as I’ve been hearing from a lot of people saying, ‘we’re oppressed,’” Walker said. “Well I’m here to tell you, you’re not.”“So, all the entertainers all the athletes out there that are telling these people, we African Americans are oppressed, well, we’re not. Let’s vote for those freedoms we have in the United States of America,” Walker concluded.
