    I hope she is doing alright but it should be a lesson to everyone. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. AND never put any identity over your Blackness.

    Noticed how they kept using and referencing the word "slave" in that article too.

    Feel sorry for her but western sensibilities to do not fly in the eastern bloc region. One must have clarity on the laws of the land before visiting any foreign country.
    You add in the fact that the nigga she wants to save her was the architect of the 94 crime bill…yikes. This will be her for along time. She may have another shot when Joe/Blow goes for their second term.

    I feel bad for her but people don’t realize these other countries gov and laws are not the same as here in the USA. They don’t play in Russia. Since a lot of articles bring up homophobia talking about this they def don’t tolerate lgbt there. I saw a video years ago this mob of men beating up a guy who was gay and the police showed up and helped. I was like damn!

    Moral of story - don't smoke weed or move around with contraband in foreign countries. Ignorance and arrogance is what gets us into trouble most of the time.

    "Brittney Griner is being treated like a slave not only because she's a Black African-American, but also because she's a queer and lesbian woman of color. Therefore, the LGBTQIA community, people of color (Black and Brown and white Beige), and women have gone through slavery too and deserve reparations as well. Because it's not really racism that's the problem, it's white male patriarchy that's the problem."

    Charles Barkley should've scolded and called out those white Russians, white anti-gay politicians, white anti-gay murderers, and the greater white community for their actual homophobia, hate and bigotry. Not Black people.

    They won't do anything for her unless it benefits them. That is how this system works. She did something stupid by going there with what is considered a drug but you think the US government will really do anything about it? Unless they benefit from it, she is going to rot for years. They only care about benefiting their own pockets.
