    IS it me or are black people taking home more gold than ever. It might be this is the first time I’ve followed to the T. But I’m loving it.

      I’m loving it too. We need to start winning Gold like this in all things. We need to start being self sufficient and doing for self instead of depending on the other race, because they don’t care anything about us. A favorite phrase that I read most recently by Harriet Tubman. She said that “I freed a thousand Slaves, I could have freed a thousand more, if they only knew they were Slaves”. Think about it,this is still relevant to us Black people today. . . Let’s start building for self, i.e. owning some stores,(grocery store, convenient stores,)laundremats; gas stations; etc. etc. etc.

      I like when you take your face out from between Rihanna’s legs long enough to make statements about “God” lmao…….are you serious? Black females like yourself represent everything that is comical about the so-called “church”. The Bible tells us that a righteous man judges all things (I Cor 2:15). Organized female sports under the caucasian are used for the intent of promoting le$bianism. Period.

      Remember to floss, brush, and gargle when you’re finished. Rihanna’s vag!na has had more visitors than the Statue of Liberty….and your mouth probably has more craters on it than the dark side of the moon lmaoooo….

      Can you please stop being sarcastic and be happy for the kid. Why don’t you offer her words of encouragement instead. This is how the whole negative Gabby publicity started. I’m frigging sick of it already.

      @ JANET

      Miss, I’ll be “happy” for a black female boxer named “T-REX” the same day that I’ll be “happy” for a black male cheerleader named “Peaches” lol. Events like “female boxing” are meant solely to promote le$bianism. This chic looks like Joe Frazier. Gimme a break. The Gabby Douglas story was a psy-op started by the caucasian and has nothing to do with this thread.

      Oh Sdup Judah. You put black women down all of the time. Especially when they happen to have an opinion that doesn’t coincide with yours. Kinda seems like you want black women to be submissive and not speak their mind. So stop trying to act like you are suddenly supportive in the portrayal of black women. So ignorant. Just congratulate her for her accomplishments and stop focusing on the dumb trivial stuff.

    Do you mean the first year WOMEN’S boxing has been on the roster? Men’s boxing has been around at the Olympics for a while…

    Congrats to Claressa!

    Seriously its NOT okay to name a black girl T-REX .Good for her for taking gold.

    she is a dead ringer for another female olympian who also won gold. Her name is Nicola Adams .
