First and foremost I would like to congratulate Gabby Douglas on being 2 time Olympic Gold Medal Gymnast. Also, being the first African-American Gymnast to even hold the title. Gabby did her thang at the Summer Olympics and just watching her was an amazing feeling. This 16 year old definitely has some skills. As I watched her as she performed I could see the focus and determination in her eyes. While she was on the sideline I saw a beautiful child with a bubbly smile and what I can assume is a bubbly personality to match. I was so proud that she made it that far and even if she didn’t make it all the way, I was happy that baby girl followed her dreams. As I logged into good old faithful twitter I started seeing all the mess. I saw women tweeting about Gabby’s hair. How it was so disgraceful for her to be on a world televised program with her hair looking like all kinds of struggle. How this gave people of other cultures a bad perception of black women. All I have to say is…HOW IN DA FUCK HER HAIR IS A REPRESENTATION OF YOU?
We are our worst own critics. For some reason black people have a way of tearing down each other, rather than building each other up. For those of you simple bitches that has stated how “disgusted” you are by Gabby’s hair and shit let me break something down for you. Gabby is an athlete. Not just any athlete but a gymnast. Which means flipping and jumping and shit is what she does. Which in turn involves sweat and whatnot. I assume she should do Gymnastics with a lacefront or virgin brazilian hair all down her back just to please the nigger women. Gabby’s main focus was to stick her landings, not focus on how her hair looks on camera. This young lady has accomplished a lot in her 16 years of living and all you see and hear is hate. This coming from women that haven’t done shit with their lives other than go to the hair salon, nail shop, the club and the fucking WIC office…in that order.
It’s so sad that whenever a person of color does something remotely great, there is always a person trying to find the slightest imperfection to tear them down. This girl is an amazing role model for our daughters. I applaud her mother for being a strong black woman and doing what needed to be done to see that her daughter’s dreams came true. It’s sad that there aren’t more parents like her. Some of these unaccomplished bitches need to do better in life and stop looking at other people to make themselves feel better. There is no way a black person can enjoy success without a few hateful ass people trying to make them feel that their accomplishment was a curse. Gabby now has endorsement coming out the ass, while these chicks still running to Rainbow to buy a House of Dereon outfit and the hair store to buy a clearance bin lacefront so they can look “fly” in the club. It kills me that this is the world we live in. I just hope that Gabby remains focused and don’t allow these negative people stop her shine. God has blessed this child with a wonderful opportunity and being there for her rather than being against her will take her even farther.
Congrats Gabby….
