Black ignorance on display in mainstream media
Gabrielle Douglas, who won 2 gold medals in the 2012 Summer Olympics, covers today’s Washington Post. The 16-year-old, who is nicknamed “the flying squirrel,” wowed the crowds with her incredible athletic prowess.
In any other culture such amazing achievements would be a source of pride. But in the black community, there is a raging debate on the style and texture of Gabby’s hair — and the media is lapping it up. As a race we are already scraping rock bottom in America, but who ever thought we could go even lower?
The debate erupted on social networking websites such as Twitter.com, where the majority of the criticism comes from black women who spend more money annually on fake hair, sew-ins, and hair gel than any other race.
“Have we forgotten that Gabby is competing at Olympics XXX? This is not America’s Next Top Model that we’re watching,” wrote a Twitter user.
Monisha Randolph, who runs Sporty Afros blog, notes that our reliance on weave and hair extensions limits our involvement in sports and vigorous exercise, which leads to increased obesity rates among black women.
“A large number of Black women do not work out because of their beloved hairstyle. This is so sad and this is why Sporty Afros was created. We are here to help women with their workout hair care solutions and crush excuses such as ‘I can’t workout because of my hair.’”

she is a beautiful age appropriate young lady and her hair is fine. I could see the uproar over the Williams Sisteres when they were wearing the braids and beads but Gabby’s hair is just coarse around the edges i’m sure from the amount of sweat she produces
*sisters
Absolutely true….
I love that comparison because it is so damn true….look at that pic in the post and folks worrying bout hair??? Foh…
What is one’s hair supposed to look like when doing physical activity?
I think people are making way to much of this. Just because you joke about someone doesn’t mean you don’t respect their accomplishments. Turning it into a serious issue is the ridiculous part of this whole thing. And Sandra, when did you stop wearing weave? You’re all high and mighty right about now. Did you stop getting the creamy crack too?
REALLY?!?! I really feel sorry and ashamed for black people at times.
what’s wrong with her hair? it looks fine to me.
WINNING !
I don’t even think her hair looks that bad…can u imagine this girl having to hear about that foolishness?? Just doesn’t make sense…..
@MrsLoveleigh, she was supposed to wear a ratchet ass lacefront just so she could look good winning ger GOLD medal… Yeen know
Her hair, her body, her business. Sad that this has become the new topic for discussion
Can’t just give the girl her props for what she has accomplished gotta be talkin about some stupid irrelevant chyt haters.
As a race we are already scraping rock bottom in America, but who ever thought we could go even lower?
_____________________________________
I Don’t know about all of that now Sandra
I think my hair looked the same way ages 12-16.
i don’t care about her hair. i am more concern she over there allowing white folks to call her a flying squirrel might as well call her a flying monkey.
who the hell says “I can’t work out because of my hair?”
IM more upset that the news even mentioned those tweets…. If twitter was going on a rant about Micheal Phelps ears or Missy Franklin’s hair, we wouldn’t have heard nuttin about it.
Twitter is full of ignorance, but that shouldn’t have made the news. She’s making history and ppl are concerned about what ppl are saying about her hair.
The media was upset that their BELOVED Jordyn didn’t place high enough, and now they found something to try and overshadow this black girls success.

Gabby- You did well!
We have been groomed and taught to hate ourselves for hundreds of years. We have been taught that we have to assimilate into the “worlds” mainstream view of what beauty is and only 1% of these images are people of ANY color.
Someone compared the logic of thier hateful thinking to talking about the looks of SCRIPTED reality show personalities and how we dissect their appearance, however this is a 16 year old CHILD who REALITY is being a olympic gold medalist. Comparing her to Fantasia, Evelyn or any other ADULT personality is like comparing a rock to a mountain.
Some of these negative posters were laying on their backs at sixteen so I would take their comments about her hair with a grain of salt.
Its time to reprogam ourselves….
People need to get a life really? Wow thought never crossed my mind. To many people of adult age really with a kids mentality. I dont login in much but wow.
Some women never rock their real hair ever. til They start to believe that the remy is really their own hair.
I would love to see half of these people at 16 doing chit with their lives and being ratchet but yet concerned about hair?! When will we ever get right? Oh not to mention having jokes on hair is just as bad as being apart of the problem
I am so sick of self-hating, pressed, opressed, ain’t used to sh*t ,ain’t never had sh*t a** knee grows. You’re worried about her hair when you need to be asking your mammy why she never exposed you to anything. Find out why your pappy neve
r took you to the park let alone an extraciricular activity. . Gabby has a Gold medal and you don’t even have a verified check to validate your “twitter” opinion.
My FB post in response to this madness on yesterday….
@kingston
A whole lotta folks including Nicole Ari Parker…
She invented some head wrap thingy cuz she said she rather save her hairstyle than workout…
My thing is why would the subject about hair even come up when she is winning medals, some black women are haters and really need to STFU, to busy being inspired by video models, and Nikki manaj. The crap is embarrassing, and whomever said anything about her hair should do the walk of shame
Get yo life !

@ Iheart-
The brown or the clear gel??
Hair has always been significant in the Black community but this right here is sad.
She is doing nothing up uplifting American and the Black race, and haters want to tear her down.
I embrace all Black hairstyles, natural or permed, dreds locks
I hate weaves though
Stop looking like Pocahontas and start loving your Afican side
Her routines were sick last night
sometimes we focus on the wrong damn things
I’m not gonna lie the first time I saw her I said “damn” but not enough to constantly tweet about it. It was not that serious. People making youtube videos and shyt about this defeats the whole purpose. Ignore and it’ll go away eventually.
Anywhoo, I loved when Gabby said when she was interviewed how all the glory goes to him and the blessings fall on me or something like that. That child ain’t ashamed of the Lord, made me almost cry! Bless her heart.
She’s going to be on the box of Kellogg’s corn flakes
BALLING!! LOL
Black folks be doing the most. Ain’t got a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of, ain’t never been nowhere and the ONLY thing they can talk about is the CHILD’s hair being nappy. SMH
I have not read anything about this and who cares? She is a very cute girl and there ain’t a damn thing wrong with her hair AND she is kickin ass and taking names at the Olympics. No shade at Gabby!
Or being inspired by Be
ce 
yeah I said it, I hear she don’t even have her damn GED ! Nuff said

A few tweets here and there…nah but trending topics and videos and such just keep it going so it becomes bigger, imo
I dnt blame Black ignorance for this, I blame the White media for picking it up. I was shocked when I saw this on yahoo news yesterday. The natural vs texture debate is ours…They could never understand. Did I think the comments about her hair were ignorant? Well yeah…Venus and Serena endured the same thing…However…Theyre in the public eye so
Yall will say Gabby is imune, but stay sippin from *******’s Teet monitoring and critiquing her every move…Yeah ok…Anyway…Hey Bibi gurl…Meeeeow.
The “nappy/good” hair debate and by extension the “dark/ligh” debate will never go away in the Black community as long as you have folk who adhere to the ignorance. Whenever I see a debate raging I take it as a personal challenge to fight the ignorance with knowledge, but some people are too complacent to embrace the knowledge
if she had on 15 pounds of weave, i doubt she’d be able to fly across the mat like so. this whole subject is so petty… i wanna see what the hair of some of those people who were tweeting about her looks like.
Our people are so azz backwards, that’s why we are far behind. To be honest no one, not even mii, has ever heard of Gabby until the games and to talk about her hair and not her accomplishments is just CRAZY!!! We are so hype over these foolish, fake, lame azz reality shows that show our people as crazy and derranged with a bunch of issues.. I’m ova this shyt… GO GABBY show them how a real, respectful, well-spoken young lady get tge job done.
@Shellebell, Brown
Not for nothing but a post on this and not how well she did last night is def a spotlight on the problem. Haters would of been mad had this been a positive post from start to finish on how well she did last night
no shade though just an observation

Sure was!
who the hell says “I can’t work out because of my hair?”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I know a lot of people who have said this. Its not far fetched
This shyt disgusts me…You should be so proud that Gabby is the first black person to ever win individual gold, but you simple fcuks are critiquing her hair. Our people are so lost in materialism and vanity…what ever happened to black pride
OAN…. Track and field started today! #TEAMJAMAICA
My street consists of mostly Asians. And EVERY SINGLE ONE of them has a Toyota or a Honda or something made by Asians. They REFUSE to patronize other car companies. They stick up for and with their own.
Why can’t it be like that for us? Why can’t we as whole be happy for that girl? I know I shed a tear when I saw how proud her family was. I’m very happy for Gabby!

But most of us had no idea that it was trending. And like I said ppl on internet say the dumbest ish. The media chooses what to focus on. If ppl were talking about Phelps big ass ears, I guarantee the news wouldn’t mentioned it.
Im not excusing the ignant folks (both black and white) that were talking about her hair, but Im upset that the media even mentioned it.
when i saw this on my local paper all i could do was smh and feel embarassed. WE gotta get it together.
Good point Miss Harlem…good point. That girl KILLED last night..
i posted that last pic on fb last night. when i saw her story on GMA this morning i cried. she inspired me. now i finna train for the Olympics
well maybe not, but i am SO happy for her & proud of her accomplishments. let her be GREAT!

The fact that anybody even entertained her hair is sad…her hair is no different than what the Russian or Chinese girls did or had…let’s move on please…I just hope she doesn’t feel slighted by the black community…shoutout to her mom, what an amazing woman
Kingstonn, girl on the real, it’s too many blk women i’ve heard say they dont wanna sweat out their perms so they dont work out

omg this lil smashed the olympics
this lil girl* typo
@Mr.Blu
I get ya…I just think once something is being discussed for days like her hair was it becomes more than just a few comments…I’m just like had folks not been talking bout it, the media wouldn’t have anything to discuss…we give them the ammo..
I am more sad the way my local news channel are treating her and saying stuff about the way she abruptly left the gym. I am disgusted. Support a hometown hero. I try not to make things into race, but it is about race.
Anywhoo they interviewed Phelps and he said that Lil Wayne and Jeezy shouted him and Ryan out on twitter and they were excited
Them white dudes showing their inner hood

girl me too did you have an old toothbrush for your baby hurrs too??

C’mon now! COURSE I DID! & it stayed as dingy as the scrungie!
Her mom’s hair was lovely this morn as was Gabby’s.
What a great girl. 
FAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just (within the last 5 mins) ordered some lavender whip!!!!
I’s so essited!
OAN….I hadnt been watching the olympics, but my BF kept telling me what ppl were saying about her hair. So I googled her hair before this story came up, and I lovvvve hair (real hair) and I didnt even have a harsh word to say. So I really dont get the tweets, nor how much coverage this story has gotten
She is a beautiful girl, with a beautiful spirit that was training for the Olympics, not Bonner Brothers hair show.
Bad- My saying is Niggas and Flies I do despise lol

Its a lame excuse and one should be ashamed to make such a statement. Black women lead in obesity, we suffer from high blood pressure and diabetes. Yet most black women are more concerned about their hair than there health. Some days my hair looks ratchet as hell and i dont give a damn!! And if anyone had something slick to say, I would love to challenge them to a run, push ups, sit ups, etc… Needless to say we need to do better with our health and focus on bettering ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. #TEAMGABBY #TEAMBOOTCAMP #TEAMCROSSFIT

I honestly feel like they needed something negative to point out.
But you’re right, sometimes we give the media all they need to create a story showing us in a bad light. smh

TO move to Iowa with a host family and be away from her family. I couldn’t imagine sending my child half way across the country…to train. ONLY to have people talk about her damn hair. HAVING grown up a darker hued black female it has taken years to people back the insecurities dished to me by “MY” people of being cute for a “black girl.” CRABS in a BARREL will we ever be proud that one of the crabs got out????”

I never post much anymore but I have to say that I’m so proud of Gabby. She is such a beautiful, god fearing, determined, and respectful young lady and on top of that she’s an amazing athlete! I normally don’t feel that celebrities should be role models but I would love for my two daughters to look up to her as they grow.
As for this story. I’m glad it became an issue because its opened up dialogue. Stuff on twitter always makes it to mainstream if it involves race. This is no different from the white racists who were coming for the little Black girl that played Rue in the Hunger Games.

Now I do henna. It colors my hair. I always, always follow up with the most moisturzing treatment I can whip up tho.

Dying is an inherently drying process so you have to up, up your moisture levels to combat the drying effects of hair dyes.

My hubby watches the new family feud religiously with Mr. Ed hosting
See I would have said a ROAST.
and that pic’s displayed on the wall in the den #luvmypple ( well, #mostofem )

We had a sports reporter at the newspaper who had it framed on his DESK b/c he COVERED track and field (and other stuff as well)…and ALOT of Olympic runners have and still DO train here in the Triangle…they asked him to remove it. It made the other reporters uncomfortable SUPPOSEDLY… the yts and Hispanics and I guess the lone Asian dude…
The fawking MEDIA yo.

Have you ever colored yours?
<–shaking real fast tho.. Im a scaredy cat. I dont even buy my weave/wigs in color. OTB is #1 all the way.
Now I do henna. It colors my hair. I always, always follow up with the most moisturzing treatment I can whip up tho.
DRRRRY & itchy
Are you allergic to anything in the dye? Why is your scalp itchy?
Dying is an inherently drying process so you have to up, up your moisture levels to combat the drying effects of hair dyes.
_____________________________________
I was scared to color mine too. I was just B-O-R-E-D! I done effed up!
I don't think I'm allergic, it's just dried me OUT. Remember I said micro braids did the same thing to my scalp.

That heffa was RAW you hear me?

No, no, no … not from swimming, but from Gainesville. The former Florida Gator has decided it’s time to move out of his college town.
“Being in a college town for so long, it does get old,” Lochte said.
He’s got tons of support in Gainesville… But it’s apparently not enough to keep him in “Gator Country.”
“I’m getting older and I think it’s time for me to move on,” Lochte said, adding that he still wants to do some training in Gainesville “but I definitely want to move somewhere else and probably start a new life.”
Go Gabi! Phuck the haters, we are no longer bound by chains, because we are now bound by weave! You just do you, because in a couple of years these same hating azz bishes, will be singing your praises!
She didn’t come in 3rd.
So Corn Flakes is for the bronze..wheaties is Gold
I see. I said she should go on the Frosted Flakes box.

@some niggas crib huh? @Jackson
Imma need folks to leave her da hell alone
Little girl with the press and curl
Age eight I got a Jheri curl
Thirteen I got a relaxer
I was a source of so much laughter
Fifteen when it all broke off
Eighteen and I went all natural
February two thousand and two I
Went on and did what I had to do
Beause it was time to change my life
To become the woman that I am inside
Ninety-seven dreadlocks all gone
Looked in the mirror for the first time and saw that
HEY…
[Chorus]
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am not your ex-pec-tations no no
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am a soul that lives within
[India.Arie]
Good hair means curls and waves
Bad hair means you look like a slave
At the turn of the century
It’s time for us to redefine who we be
You can shave it off
Like a South African beauty
Or get in on lock
Like Bob Marley
You can rock it straight
Like Oprah Winfrey
If its not what’s on your head
It’s what’s underneath and say
HEY….
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am not your ex-pec-tations no no
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am a soul that lives within
(oh, oh, oh)
Does the way I wear my hair make me a better person?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Does the way I wear my hair make me a better friend? nooo…
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Does the way I wear my hair determine my integrity?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
I am expressing my creativity…
Breast Cancer and Chemotherapy
Took away her crowning glory
She promised God if she was to survive
She would enjoy everyday of her life ooh…
On national television
Her diamond eyes are sparkling
Bald headed like a full moon shining
Singing out to the whole wide world like
HEY…
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am not your ex-pec-tations no no
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am a soul that lives within
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am not your ex-pec-tations no no
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am a soul that lives within(2)

Might AS WELL Huh
BOO
yes love
FIANCE ahem no cuddle for you?!!!
Oh and that copyin and pasting makes me want to
a mofo
why i cant get cuddled?
I love when other black people think like me. All I could do was smh with all the comments. The young lady made history in less than a week and all yall can talk about is her hair? I didn’t chime in or give an opinion at all yesterday.
Congratulations to her. Not many people get to accomplish something so great at such a young age – in whatever their field or lane is. The young lady made history. That’s huge. They mention her name from here til eternity, there’s history attached. She’s on her way to being set for life. I remember when Mary Lou Retton won her Gold medal. Her ass never worked another day in her life.
I’m sure the next debate is gabby’s financial success in comparison to Mary Lou Retton, race, etc.
FIANCE you dont read well
I called for you to cuddle up under me but as usual you pays me no mind. This cant be life

Gabby Douglas is fine she secured her a spot in the history books and has accomplish a defeat no one else could get. Talking about her hair is petty. People need to stop and so do the media.
Hey er’body
My girl did it last night, and I was so happy to see her family in the stands. She is so humble, thoughtful, and respectful and most importantly she gives the glory to Kang Jesus. No matter what ppl do to try to knock this girl down it won’t work cause God has got her covered, gwan head Gabby.
Gabby SLAYED on that floor routine, I was weeping like I had met sweet baby Jesus.
As far as the topic
Ready for track and field
Like i told my sis last night all these twitter fools did was give her a multi million dollar dark and lovely contract cause those hair companies going to come at her hard. I love Gabby’s love cause shes one of the few teenagers that maintain her innocent appeal. Just like 8 years ago people said Phelps looked like a dolphin and thst made him 40 mil, people going to keep talking and Gabby will be laughing all the way to the bank
Sorry I’m posting so late….I work for a financial institution and it’s the third….nough said: Furthermore, this is just plain sad!!! What difference does it make about the texture of her hair……bytches really need to stop!!! And this is a BABY…she’s 16 years of age. GOODNESS!!!
Im 3 Christmases late, but I just HAD to comment… ummm,
I dont see 1 single problem with her hair.. am I missing something? 
BTW: I LOVE
this precious Gabby lady!!
