White People Are Losing It Over Naomu Osaka's Black Only DINNER! MUST WATCH #us

Added: 2026-06-02

[00:00:00]Naomi Osaka had dinner with black tennis players and somehow the mayonnaise militia started spiraling and turned that into a controversy.

[00:00:09]>> When you're black, you're never really lonely because there will always be a white person all up in your business.

[00:00:15]>> Naomi Osaka doesn't owe anyone an apology for celebrating black athletes in a sport that historically made black athletes feel isolated, unwelcomed, and heavily scrutinized. period. Tennis has never exactly been overflowing with diversity. Black players in tennis have had to fight for respect, visibility, sponsorship, media coverage, and basic dignity for decades. From the Williams sisters getting treated like villains while dominating the sport to Naomi herself being questioned constantly for speaking about race. So when Naomi said she wanted to create a space where black tennis players could gather, connect, celebrate each other, and simply exist together comfortably, what's the big deal? The fake outrage over what if there was an all-white party is exhausting.

[00:01:11]>> Hi guys, welcome back to our channel. In case you're new here, my name is Maren.

[00:01:14]I'm Marin. Right, so in today's episode, we're going to be talking about Naomi Osaka. For those who do not know who she is, she is a black tennis player and for some reason these past few days she has brought about a a huge controversy amongst uh the white community. Right.

[00:01:31]So there are two issues that we are going to be addressing here which personally I don't really feel like it's it's an issue but I'm going to leave you to be the judge on that. Right. So we're going to be talking about two things.

[00:01:42]The first one being uh the all black party she decided to host in order to celebrate her fellow black tennis players. Right. Yeah. And this was right before the French tennis opens. And white women were all over the internet.

[00:01:56]>> Not just white women. White people were not happy or okay with this. Right. They were calling her a racist and saying that she is practicing racism. Right.

[00:02:05]And they were not the only people with the problem. They also complained about Naomi Osaka's outfits that she decided to go with um to the French opening, right? But in today's episode, we are going to be proving why Naomi is not the first person who has gone to a French opening with a fashion statement. Even white women themselves since time in memorial, some who had a fashion sense have gone to French openings with a fashion statement. Right? And guys, let me just tell you one thing. Naomi Osaka is half of uh she comes from she's half black and she's half Japanese. So she's coming from a very rich culture which >> both cultures >> both cultures are indeed rich, right?

[00:02:48]And you would you'd therefore understand why she's so flamboyant, >> right? So guys, let's watch what's happening and then we come back and talk about it. I would like to know your thoughts and opinion on the comment section. Also consider subscribing if it's your first time here. And another question, do you what's your personal opinion on what happened here? Do you think she was being racist in throwing an all black party in order to celebrate her her fellow athletes, you know? Mhm.

[00:03:14]Let's watch and then we come back and talk about it.

[00:03:16]>> How can you see this picture and be outraged? How can you have an issue with people just throwing a party and just having fun amongst themselves? Who the that pissing off? So Naomi Osaka and Taylor Townsen hosted this like dinner party for their friends who are also famous black tennis players. And apparently this this is like pissed off a lot of people. The y'all mad about one of the comments. It has got like 356 likes on it from a black woman says that makes me uncomfortable. What if it was reversed has been reversed for 400 years? The you talk about here's another one down here. It says why don't we just see ourselves as equal and take the color out of it and celebrate human achievements. I don't know where to start with you. How do we take the color out of it when the first thing that the world has taught us that they see first when they see us is color? You know that tired take that you hear some really people say which is I don't see color.

[00:03:59]That's literally the worst thing you could possibly say. How about maybe try seeing everyone's color and celebrating the things that make them culturally unique. Hey, look, bro. I'm I'm not a I'm not a tennis guy, but I wanted to chime in because this kind of pissed me off. I feel like we're regressing as humans. Look, story time. When I was in high school, that's me in the front row.

[00:04:15]I went to an all boys Catholic high school. There weren't many people that look like me. And the ones that did, we played sports. All the black people in the school are right here. Going to this school which was extremely predominantly white. We experienced almost no racism.

[00:04:27]This is about 20 years ago. And even though everyone in that school made us feel accepted, we had a black student union. And you know what we never heard?

[00:04:33]When we were in that black student union, none of the white students were like, "Oh man, how come we can't have a white student union?" It didn't happen.

[00:04:38]So if a handful of very talented black athletes want to get together and throw a dinner party, just mind your business.

[00:04:44]>> Naomi Osaka co-hosted a black party alongside Taylor Townsen, uniting black players competing at Roland Geralt this year. Coco Golf, Gal Moni, Asia Muhammad, and Chris Eubanks were in attendance. And Naomi made a note at message on Instagram essentially saying that there's a camaraderie among black players and that seeing them all exist in this predominantly white space of professional tennis is a win in itself.

[00:05:07]It seemed pretty self-explanatory to me.

[00:05:09]And word to Jay-Z and Kanye, we're in Paris. Like I love to see it. It really wasn't much to it. But unfortunately, people just changed something that was pure innocent fun into drama. Quite a few critics actually accused Naomi of being exclusionary and even racist. I saw a number of people saying, "What if there was an all-white party, and Osaka responded to such critics on threads, saying, "I can only speak from my experiences in my own life." Growing up as a tennis player, I didn't see many people that look like me, and I feel like it's important to celebrate them.

[00:05:42]I'm disappointed yet not surprised that some people found an issue with Naomi's dinner. We live in a society where critical thinking and nuance is rare and grifters are everywhere. There are a growing number of black players on tour, but that does not change the fact that tennis long remains a predominantly white sport. On a personal level, I was the only black tennis player at my college that's men's or women's team.

[00:06:03]And I don't care what race you are. It's not easy being the only one of something. And yes, I attended a PWI, but even at some historically black colleges and universities, black players are outnumbered. My nearest H.B.CU, BCU Norfolk State has zero black guys on the men's tennis roster. To me, this black party doesn't require an explanation if you're remotely aware of just basic human history. And history isn't always pleasant to confront, but trying to erase it only puts a band-aid over how deeply it continues to shape the world we live in today. Honestly, I wish Naomi didn't do any further explaining because people find issues with any little thing nowadays. If you get it, you get it. You don't, you don't. Too bad, so sad.

[00:06:43]There's no need explaining things to people who will refuse to understand you no matter how hard you try.

[00:06:48]>> Why are Naomi Asaka's tennis outfits causing backlash? The four-time Grand Slam champion walked out to her first round at the French Open wearing a black pleated corset and a matching fulllength skirt which was then removed to reveal a glittering gold dress adorned with sequins. And it's causing a stir.

[00:07:04]Assaka's opponent, Laura Ziggund, a German tennis player, criticized the dress and accused organizers of allowing top players to flout the rules, saying, "I come here to play tennis, not to put on a fashion show." Ziggman's issue was less with the design and more the time lost on court. The coin toss was delayed as Aaka took a minute and a half to change. Yet, Asaka had dialed it down in comparison with her jellyfish inspired garb at the Australian Open in January.

[00:07:30]So, should tennis tournaments be an opportunity to make a fashion statement?

[00:07:34]Well, Assaka is not the first player to make a fashionable entrance at a grand slam. Serena Williams wore a removable train attached to a custom Nike one-sleeve dress at Wimbledon in 2021.

[00:07:45]Marta Costuk wore a wedding dress inspired Wimbledon kit in 2024. And Maria Sherupova was clad in a suit shirt look in 2008. And it's not just the women. Federra wore a militarystyle blazer embroidered with gold on court at Wimbledon in 2009. Asaga has said her fashion statements enable her to write a little bit of her story and that style can be a kind of confidence boost and sometimes even a little armor. So provided it's white, what will she wear to Wimbledon?

[00:08:12]>> Guys, Naomi Osaka has been going super viral. You can see her here on the left.

[00:08:18]She is half Haitian and half Japanese.

[00:08:20]Just noticed that she is very relaxed in this photo. Meanwhile, her German opponent, she had a ice pack on her forehead and on the back of her neck.

[00:08:30]And I mentioned she's German descent because this has been going more viral than the actual tennis match. You can see during their breaks in between the points, the opponent was so overheated and exhausted. The comment, it says, "The cut from the face of Ziggie out there melting to Naomi Osaka looking fresh with the sparkling dress." and they put the laughing emoji. And not only was the opponent overheated, but she had to have a umbrella and she was in the shade. Meanwhile, Naomi, she did not need an umbrella. You can see that the sun was hitting her skin directly.

[00:09:07]What do you guys think about this?

[00:09:09]Because I was very surprised to know that this was in Paris, France. I assumed it was going to be in a desert, but you could see that Naomi, she's actually more adapted to that environment than someone who's actually from Europe. Let me know what you guys think about this. Comment below.

[00:09:36]Naomi Osaka is playing a very dangerous game right now because she keeps raising the bar higher and higher with every slam look. It was hard for me to imagine how she'd follow up her Robert one exoskeleton inspired AO collab, but her role in Geralt's look continues to prove she's one of one. Osaka brought couture to court Suzanne Longland today for her match against Laura Seigman, wearing a custom piece by Swiss designer Kevin Germinir. This design is transformative in every sense of the word. According to Osaka's creative director, Marty Harper, the upcycled look deconstructs Naomi's original tennis skirt, dress, and jacket to create a new storial narrative. It's all about reimagining her sports wear through the lens of couture. Here we see Germaine's vision for the future of sports fashion where performance textiles are reborn as collectible art pieces. Again, I love how there's always an intentional theme or message with Naomi's looks and the sports couture blend feels fitting given how naturally she exists in both the tennis and high fashion worlds. The walkout look sees Osaka sport a corset with a dramatic cascading pleated skirt using the interior layers of her jacket. And it kind of reminds me a little bit of Serena's 2022 US Open Walk Out. Call Naomi Joe Scott cuz she's living her life like it's golden with this high neckline dress featuring a shimmering mosaic like design. The fitted bodice and playful pleated skirt complete the look, which definitely makes my best dress list. I already know Naomi's fit is going to cause even more conversations with people criticizing her for being too extra or whatever else. But like I said during the Australian Open, her extraness is only good for the sport. People literally tune in just to see Naomi's walk-on look. Nobody's doing it like her and I'm already looking forward to seeing what she has in store for Woman and the US Open. Osaka is still in Roland Girls, though. She did win her opening round match against Sigman by a score of 6376.

[00:11:17]Let me know how y'all feel about Naomi's look in the comments and make sure you follow me for more Roland Girls updates and fashion content, too. La Seaman is kind of known for being a giant pest, and I think what just happened in her match against Naomi is a great example of why. But first, let me just show you the video of what's happening here.

[00:11:40]Okay. Now, if we notice down here, Sigman just stepped on the ball mark from a shot Naomi Saka just hit out. You see how Osaka has her hand up here? She looks like she's calling for the chair to go check the mark, but because Sigman stepped on the mark, you can't check it.

[00:11:57]Now this point was called for sement because Osaka did hit the ball out but technically technically if there is a disputed call and you step on the ball mark you are conceding it right like stepping on a ballmark before it can be checked is honestly a pretty dirty move.

[00:12:14]>> A lot of white folks are bad. How dare she have a black only party? I mean what if we had a white only party? You wouldn't you wouldn't be too happy about that would you? I mean, I kind of look at it as if all the Ukrainian players got together and said, "We want to have a party with the Ukrainian players prior to the French Open or the Italians that are the French." But you'll say, "Well, that's about nationality, right?" And it doesn't exclude whites or blacks. Yeah, I get it. That is true. But why would Naomi Osaka, why would any black person decide they want to have one of these parties? Well, it's because for so many years we were excluded from being part of things that you said we weren't good enough to be part of. So we had to create our own. You wouldn't let us eat in your restaurants. We started our own restaurants. You wouldn't let us go to your university. So we started our own.

[00:13:08]You didn't want us living next door to you. So we started our own communities.

[00:13:12]And when we did that, sometimes white folks came and destroyed it. We all know about uh the Greenwood district in Tulsa, Oklahoma. What was that? 1921 went in there. What was called Black Wall Street over 300 people lost their lives. But there are other cities as well. Rosewood, Florida back in 23, St. Louis in 1917, Elaine, Arkansas in 1919 or Florida in 1920. You didn't want blacks voting down there in Florida. And I think almost 1,200 people, if I'm not mistaken, about 500 people that lost their lives there. Um, blacks were forced to fight in segregated units until 1948.

[00:13:52]Then there was the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.

[00:13:56]Even the GI Bill, although it was not, it wasn't written into the bill that blacks were excluded. It was so loosely administrated on the federal level, left to the states to implement. And many of those states denied black veterans access to benefits from the GI Bill. So all these things we wanted to do and be part of yet wouldn't let us. So we created on our own. And no, it's not a nationality.

[00:14:26]It is about race and ethnicity. But this is a problem you created and now you don't like the outcome of the you did to us. We were forced to think this way for years. And as a result, we're always looking out for each other because for so many years, for a couple hundred years, you wouldn't look out for us. You didn't see us as equals. You didn't want us to be part of the club.

[00:14:52]So, we created clubs of our own first and foremost. It's funny because, you know, if you ask someone from Africa, they won't tell you that they're black necessarily. will say, "I'm Somalian. I'm Ethiopian." But black people, we can't say that. We were stolen from our land, and most of us don't know where we came from. So, we identify as black. That's kind of our nationality if you so to speak. And you can't say she has no right to do because as an American, she can she should include all American athletes. She's not an American athlete. She's Japanese.

[00:15:33]But no matter where she goes, guess what? She'll always be black at the end of the day. It's her money. She can spend it any way she sees fit and invite any way anyone that she wants to invite.

[00:15:49]And if you feel excluded because you're white, get the over it. Because for over 200 years, we fought fought to be part of your club and you didn't want us. So leave them the hell alone. Let Naomi have her day party and invite anybody she wants to invite.

[00:16:12]>> So guys, welcome back. Let us know what you think about this uh episode on the comment section. I feel like the bone of content in today's episode is the fact that Nomio Saka decided to throw an all black party and people were feeling like that was promoting um separationism, right? not people white people to be as >> there was there was a comment that was read there from a black person although I would I would understand that it's a few of them that feel that way but what I'm asking is do you think there's a reason for people for the white community to feel like this because at the end of the day uh if you're being reasonable right I'm not saying what she did was wrong it's not wrong because it's good that they've decided to uh unite and celebrate their achievements right it's not every day that you find black excellence in faces. So when you do find them, it's good that you get to appreciate each other and it actually helps that Nomi Osaka is like at the top of her game, you know. So literally the tennis world needs her, you know. So what I was asking is, do you think if white tennis players held an all white party that only allowed white people to to, you know, to go in attendance? Do you think that would have been received the same way this is being received? or do you think they would have been given grace? Morin, >> first of all, before I answer, why why are you asking that question?

[00:17:35]>> I'm just asking that question because um I'm not saying what Naomi did was wrong.

[00:17:40]Okay.

[00:17:40]>> What are you saying?

[00:17:41]>> What I'm saying is right now, okay, before I say that point, >> wait, before you read that point, why are you saying that? What are you saying?

[00:17:50]>> Because I also do understand some of these people, right? um them complaining. Okay, they would want to be in the greatness of the black people also in celebrate, but also I do understand the point that even white people do normally have spaces that uh black people are not invited to. You understand what I'm saying? So I feel like this doesn't even need to be justified. Uh people's complaint, especially people who are complaining about what Nomosaka did. Does she do this every time?

[00:18:20]>> That's a good question. She doesn't do this every time. And for her to do this just this one time, it means she wanted to pass a message. And she wanted to pass a message maybe because she herself as a black woman has faced discrimination in some of these meetups she goes to. For someone to decide just one time to invite her friends over for a party, maybe she didn't invite the white ones because she's cordial with them but doesn't really get along with them. Do you did you stop to think about that first?

[00:18:51]>> That actually makes sense. Yeah, because you know if if she was doing this uh every time every time every year she hosts black party without you definitely would have definitely would have labeled her a racist but for today I don't even see the issue here >> that makes sense it's not a racist thing I just see that this is a young woman who maybe decided to create her own table and chose to invite whoever she wanted to invite in that table for her peace of mind and to be quite honest anyway way. Uh, she's so good at what she does that I could almost feel the microaggression her opponents normally come with because like this um the player that she was going up against the German player, right?

[00:19:34]>> Oh, she's jealous. I can just see the greeneyed monster written all over her because who refused for you to be fashionable and flamboyant? So why would you feel bad if your opponent decides to dress herself the way it's her body at the end of the day the way she dressed herself and you decided to come in a very plain cloth you know one thing she doesn't break the rules of the rules tennis she's okay with what she's doing because one thing now Osaka is doing is making sure that in each and every battle she comes out of and that is the tennis matches the world will remember no one else but her from that tennis And to that I feel like she's she's playing a very good game because who will remember the German other than the fact that she nearly being melted.

[00:20:23]Yeah. She was being melted in the sun and she nearly passed out because of a heat stroke. Other than that, nobody will even remember her face a week from now. But now Miosaka, if you don't remember her by her face, you'll remember her by her fashion.

[00:20:37]>> Her fashion and her flamboyantness, >> right? if not for the lavish party she threw to celebrate her fellow black people that for her excellence at tennis the tennis game >> right and I also do feel like it was really good of her because normally like when you're at the top of what you do and you're like the best I really feel like she she she looks like she's down to earth and very humble for even doing that you know there are other people who really feel like they're above everyone else but for her she went and celebrated she went out to celebrate others and encourage them that she's being a leader in her community, you know, right? And she wasn't afraid of the repercussions as we have seen how it came at her and people accusing her of racism. One thing um I think I can commend her for is actually daring to celebrate her fellow black people, you know, because right now she has she first of all made sure to make her name to such a point where she doesn't need uh some people in the industry because she knows she's the game, you know, and she knows she's the it, you know. And uh with that being said, no matter how people try to say that she was in the wrong for doing this or she was in the wrong for doing whatever, I personally see as if she was trying to build her own table and welcome people in that table. You see, right? Let me just Google real quick because we cannot deny the fact that even up to date there are still white spaces that black people are not invited to. And that's a fact. We can't be debating about that. only that right now they don't exist as much but they're still there >> as loud as they used to but they're still there. So to give a perfect example is I was just curious and I decided to ask right when Oscars were first held did black people get invited.

[00:22:25]So if a white person is complaining because Osaka did this just once you need to let her have it that is Osaka because she doesn't do this every day but for black for white people it is historically it has been recorded the way they behaved and separated uh races you know. So I asked when Oscars were first held did black people get invited and lo and behold no black people were not welcomed or invited to the first Academy Awards and that was in 1929.

[00:22:57]1929 I need you to mark the dates. All right the years the event was heavily segregated during its early decades mirroring the systemic racism of America society and the film industry at the time. So, when exactly was the first black person um invited to the Oscars?

[00:23:15]Please remember the dates. The first the first Oscar was in 1929 and there was no black person that was invited. So, the first black invite and winner, it wasn't until 1940. So, >> that was like nearly um two decades after.

[00:23:31]>> Two decades after. Right.

[00:23:33]>> Right. It wasn't until >> 1940. I think it was a decade after.

[00:23:38]>> Not not exactly.

[00:23:39]>> Okay. It was 11 years, >> a little more over a decade after.

[00:23:44]>> Okay.

[00:23:45]>> Mhm. So, it wasn't until 1940, that is that was the 12th uh Academy Awards, that a black person was permitted to attend the ceremony as an invite and not as a servant. Right. And the breakthrough that the actress's name was Haiti McDaniel. She became the first black person to win an Oscar, taking home best supporting actress for her role as Mommy in Gone with the Wind. And then hear this, the segregated reality.

[00:24:14]That was because the Coconut Grove nightclub at the Ambassador Hotel, that is the venue hosting the Oscars, had a strict no blacks. Do you understand the policy? producer David, I can't say the other name, had to pull strings and call in special favors just to get her in the room. And even at that, um, with this special permission, McDaniel was not allowed to sit with her Gone with the Wind castmates. She was invited, but she was not allowed to sit with the others.

[00:24:45]Meaning they had a special corner for her to to hide in. I'm just saying.

[00:24:49]Okay. Right. Buth what I think I can clearly say is that uh since then times have really changed and at least nowadays you see more and more black people in the Oscars you know attending the Oscars right but what was the point of us reading this um you know something when something is a pattern that is when you see the clear intention of racism right just like how the Oscars started for more than a decade uh they didn't include black people that was clearly racist right >> and when they finally did you know what explains me is the fact that she worked with her co-workers with in Gone with the Wind. None of them stood up to say, you know, she was one of us. They all enjoyed the glory they were being given and they were okay with her over there and she had been given a separate table at the very back where she would not be visible. These people knew she was there and she was supposed to receive an award but none of them stood up to say you know she deserves to be up here with us right and that is why we are saying with Osaka's situation it wasn't a recurring uh behavior that she had been throwing parties for black people or inviting a white person and putting that white person in the corner that is how you could have known she was racist but this was just a one time thing and it had appreciate her fellow friends And I personally I don't believe it had anything to do with racism. But guys, you can let us know what you think about this situation. Do you think it was intended to be racist towards her white counterparts or do you think it was just a mere celebration of um her peers? Let us know down in the comment section.
