PhatGyrlSnoop juice:

In cased you missed it, on Monday the day time TV host posted this photoshopped pic of herself riding The World’s Fastest Man’s back with the caption, “This is how I’m running errands from now on. #Rio2016.”

Some people found it funny including Usain who actually retweeted it, while others found the picture offensive and racist making comparisons to pictures of slaves being ridden by their masters.

Check out some of the tweets below:

Honestly seeing Black folks defend that Ellen photo of Usain is depressing. "she was just saying he is fast" Oh yea? pic.twitter.com/rE1YGIPpIu

However Degeneres is standing by her post responding…

I am highly aware of the racism that exists in our country. It is the furthest thing from who I am.
