No one ever refers to Gabby Douglas as an Olympic hero, or mentions how many gold medals she has. Instead of being revered as one of the all time great female athletes, she’s been shyt on every step of the way and has gotten a fraction of the acclaim that Biles, Aly, or Ledecky. She’s probably extremely bitter.
My sister is 21 soon and she knows that she’s her own primary protector. I’m not gonna be around her 24/7 or just about at all, and our father really won’t, so it’s on her to exercise best judgment and protect herself. I can’t possibly give speeches to all ‘potential rapists’ to stop them, and it’s stupid to allude to doing so. Like men tell each other when they rape women. I assume Gabby comment was along those lines in terms of practicing discretion & protecting yourself.
Competing with the white girls and all the shine they get is hard honestly....
And also, some use their status and sexuality to get ahead and when they cry or complain the world comes to their rescue while black women often get condemned.
Someone needs to teach her how to play the game to beat out these white chicks..She needs to talk to Serena.
