Ellen DeGeneres recently shared an anti-racism post on Twitter extending her support for the protesters demanding justice for George Floyd.

However, she had to delete it after people criticised her for being 'tone-deaf.' Over the last few days, people across the USA have been participating in the anti-racism solidarity protests in support of the black victims who faced police brutality.

Shortly after a TV show host shared the tweet, people slammed her for addressing the tweet to people of colour instead of referring to black people. “Like so many of you, I am angry and I am sad.

People of color in this country have faced injustice for far too long. For things to change, things must change,' Ellen wrote in her since-deleted post.
