\"'It<\/h3>\n

Senegalese footballer,\u00a0Krepin Diatta<\/strong> who currently plays in the 2019 African Cup of Nations<\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0Egypt, has shared his thoughts about social media bullies who have been coming for him because<\/strong>\u00a0of his physical appearance.<\/h3>\n

The 20-year-old midfielder hit the limelight after he scored his\u00a0first goal for Senegal against Tanzania during their opening match last Sunday.<\/p>\n

While the footballer was being praised for the goal, others took solace in slamming him for his look.<\/p>\n

A troll even went as far as to share a photo of Krepin with his beautiful white girlfriend and tagged them \u201cbeauty with a beast\u201d<\/p>\n

Reacting to the insults, Krepin in a statement said;<\/p>\n

\n

I am very sad to see my african brothers making fun of me,<\/p>\n

I work for our beautiful and dear africa continent and what I receive in return are only insults, mockery from my brothers<\/p>\n

This is too bad of you and racism comes from there, I need your encouragement, not insults, Thank you to everyone who supports me.<\/p>\n

It is only God who gives me strength and I am proud of my physical appearance your mockery won\u2019t change anything in my life.<\/p>\n

But one thing for sure, we are all AFRICANS.<\/p>\n
