This thread is awfully short. :mjpls:

Another reason why I realize this website is filled with white boys, that thread with that ugly cac swimmer was doing numbers with brehs trolling "talking about I would fukk"

but this thread is quiet as a mouse. :hamster:


Congrats to her though.:salute:

Unlike Simone Biles, who was on that "all lives matter" nonsense, Simone Manuel actually seems like a proud black woman :
Swimming: Manuel sees gold as boost for black community

[...]

Making history as the first black woman swimmer to win an individual Olympic title for the United States, Manuel spoke of her desire to change attitudes and addressed some of the issues head-on.

"This medal is not just for me, it's for some of the African-Americans that have come before me and have been inspirations and mentors to me," she said after a dead-heat in the 100 meters freestyle final resulted in two golds being awarded. The other went to 16-year-old Canadian Penny Oleksiak.

"I think it means a lot, especially what's going on in the world today with some of the issues with police brutality," she added, without going into detail.

"I think that this win kind of helps bring hope and change to some of the issues that are going on."

[...]

Manuel said she hoped her first gold would bring change.

"Just coming into this race tonight I kind of tried to take the weight of the black community off my shoulders, which is something I carry with me just being in this position," said Manuel.

"I do hope that it kind of goes away. I'm super glad with the fact that I can be an inspiration to others and hopefully diversify the sport.


"But at the same time I would like there to be a day where there are more of us and it's not 'Simone the black swimmer' because the title 'black swimmer' makes it seem like I'm not supposed to be able to win a gold medal, not supposed to be able to break records."

"I work just as hard as anyone else and I love this sport and I want to win just like everyone else."

She woke....:wow: Do your thing babe....:obama:
