“I love my black work,” Biles wrote to X.
The reference to “black jobs” appears to be a criticism of former President Trump, who first mentioned it during a debate with President Biden on June 27.
“The fact is, the big hit he’s done to black people is he’s allowed millions of people across the border. They’re now taking black people’s jobs,” Trump said of illegal immigrants during a CNN debate. “They’re taking black people’s jobs, they’re taking Hispanic jobs. You haven’t seen it yet, but you’re about to see the worst of our history.”

Trump was asked again about the reference earlier this week while appearing at the National Association of Black Journalists conference.
“Black jobs are anybody who has a job,” Trump said.
After the comments were posted, Biles received support from LeBron James.
