Ellen Degeneres is known for many things including being sweet, being funny, being kind…but, now she’s getting all kinds of hate online for “being racist”, over this tweet that went out after Usain Bolt’s sprint.

Immediately following the tweet and in the days since she’s received quite the backlash, so she made this statement:
