Article about black USA gymnast Gabby Douglas and the criticism she is getting

[BeeCityRoller]

I remember watching the Live Gymnastics chat-stream on Tuesday, and when Gabby Douglas proceeded whites started using the usual racist terms, along with derogatory joke comments like "I didn't know Africa was into Gymnastics".

I'm sure I could search many forums and dig up comments of whites making backhanded comments about Gabby Douglas/Destinee Hooker, along with their hidden anger/denial about Gabby making the All-Around and how she was less deserving than Jordyn Weiber.

A few ghetto black people who degrade the conversation to hair is not the issue, we are forgetting who the real enemy is here. The amount of whites discussing her hair/looks in a negative manner far outnumbers the amount of blacks, I'm sure. As far as the media goes whites/Fake liberals always want to put the spotlight on black issues as if they want to solve the problem, when THEY are the problem.

I like how nikkas acting like black men dont c00n the fukk out over these "good hair" havin bishes. Isnt there a big ass curly head gawdess thread in here? I have heard black men talk shyt with my own ears about a girls hair being "too nappy"

And yall nikkas wanna bash black women. Maybe its because so many black women are trying to impress the weak and powerles bm in this country who cant segregate the boardroom so they segregate the bedroom?

At least its her hair in a ponytail. Dawes is right most of the negative comments about her are coming from us, not from other races. Just because we are black does not mean whites or any other races don't know the ins and outs about our hair. Hell, do we own our hair products that we buy? Dawes is right. Black people we hate ourselves.

Not her hair.

It's to keep our minds off the coming war in Iran, depression level black unemployment, and black people getting executed by the police and fellow blacks every day.

White people kill each other at a higher rate. So what is your point.

White on white is at a higher percentage than black on black crime.

White on white is at a higher percentage than black on black crime.

that's because there's more white people in America.. and I was responding to dudes post anyway where he said the 'police were killing us' and I added 'police and black on black crime' is killing us... what is your point??

Percentage have nothing to do with overall population. Percentage is what equal measures all demographic no matter the size of the population.

Gabby is so amazing. The guy on nbc is a dumb cac. He was talking about how there have been "mental barriers" with black women preventing them from pursuing dreams in gymnastics...... white people always try to diminish a moment where a black person achieves excellence.

Naw she should of have done it with her natural hair.

I get what you're saying but what does this have to do with the discussion? Are you saying that all cops that kill blacks are white, or what? I'm trying to figure out what does whites killing whites have to do with the response I gave to dudes comment

A 16 year old girl in peak form with months and months of training performing in one of the most physically demanding women's sport is gonna sweat her naps out a little bit

This is stupid and shouldn't even be news. Dominique Dawes didn't have her hair whipped in 1996 and nobody said shyt, but we didn't have fagggots with Twitter back then either
