First off shout out to Gabby Douglas her story is amazing and she's holding it down in the olympics. But black women hating on her hair? WTF this is the type of shyt we gotta get off of.
Gabrielle Gabby Douglas, who just became the second black female gold medalist in the history of Olympics gymnastics, is representing her country proudly and with class and dignity. Sadly, the only thing some people can focus on is that her hair is not staying perfectly in place?!
She needs some gel and a brush
Someone needs to give her a hair intervention
She has to represent
The swiftness by which some African Americans eagerly swarm and devour their own and the level of venom, to boot is dumbfounding as well as nonsensical. But it also reveals a level of undeniable and long-sustained self-revulsion that is nauseating as well as mystifying. Just what purpose did this serve? This young, 16-year-old girl is a once-in-a-generation athlete who is accomplishing things that have never been done before, but you can only see a few strands of locks out of place. Im not the only one dismayed and mortified by this unprovoked slam on an elite, pioneering sports star. Monisha Randolph, who runs a blog called Sporty Afros, came correct when she said this:
So whats the big deal about Gabbys hair? From what I am reading on Facebook and Twitter, many African American women who are SITTING and WATCHING Gabby compete believe her hair is not kept, Randolph writes. Have we forgotten that Gabby is competing at Olympics XXX? This is not Americas Next Top Model that were watching. These ladies are participating in a global athletic competition. And the last time I checked when you play a sport, you sweat. I know I do. And when a black woman who has chosen to wear her hair straight begins to sweat, her hair will (not might) begin to revert back to its natural coily, curly, or kinky state. Does Gabby need to stop every five minutes to check her hair? No. When one experiences back-to-back intense workouts, that person learns what works best on their hair.
