Early Morning Evening News w/ Monie Love: Ellen DeGeneres’ Tweet “Racially Insensitive” or NAH?

Ellen Degeneres is denying that there was any racist intention what-so-ever behind her tweet of a picture with Olympian Usain Bolt.

Pictured below, you can see where Ellen is mounted on top of Bolt’s back, with the quote… “This Is How I’m Running Errands From Now On. #RIO2016.”

Hmmm. Monie doesn’t think it’s racist, same with Ed – adding that if he posted a picture of him on the back of Michael Phelps, would that make Ed racist? Sound off below in our poll and let us know what you think!

POLL: Was Ellen’s tweet just her being funny or racially insensitive?
