Fix Her Hair


Let me first congratulate Gabby Douglass on her Gold Medal performance during the 2012 Summer Olympics. She made history in an event never before won by a black. Her accomplishment took hard work and sacrifice as evidenced by her hair. Obviously she hasn't been around any other black people or they would surely have suggested to her that she at least wear a cornrow.  Based on her recent comments she seems oblivious still. Obviously she doesn't have the same hairdresser as her mother. I see she proudly wears a head full of  store bought human hair.

This may be one of the reasons we have so few black girls in this sport to begin with, and even fewer in swimming. There is not one black female on the whole Olympic swim team. Black countries like Nigeria and Jamaica don't even compete. I watched the Nigerian sprinter Blessing Okagbare blow her competition away. Only to come back and finish last in the big race.  I wonder how much faster she could have been if she hadn't been worried about her hair?  And they still talked about her. The black gymnast from the Dominican Republic didn't win a Gold, but her hair was neat. I don't know if this is yet another tradition like they have in ballet.  But this young lady needs to fix her hair. She looks like she just got out of the bed.  This is a job for Lisa Akbari.

You sound ridiculous. Instead of praising a 16 yrs old girl, who just represented her country and won 2 GOLD medals, you are choosing to focus on her hair. Does this make you feel better about yourself? You are a bully, shame on you.

Maybe I do, but to say it doesn't matter is ridiculous as well. Just because she's black doesn't give her a pass. She isn't the only Gold Medal winner and she isn't the only black girl in the Olympics. Her hair has been talked about as much as her medals. If you notice in my blog I praised her performance first. I just stated my opinion about her hair.

I seen her on AGT and she said she had been shopping with her mother. The first thing they bought was new hair.
