It's Just Hair

What is wrong with us?  By us I mean mostly mean African Americans.  Why are we so focused on hair?  In the grand scheme of things it holds no significance at all.  Why is it so important?

Gabby Douglas has accomplished something that has NEVER been done by an African American gymnast and all people can talk about is her Hair.  Were you so focused on her hair that you missed the part about her making HISTORY?!  Gabby Douglas is a GOLD MEDAL GYMNAST not a beauty pageant contestant.

What positive contribution have you so called journalists made to your nation?  My guess is NONE.   What kind of personal sacrifice has any of you made to represent your country.  Don't you have something more important to report about or is the extent of your capabilities? I'm guessing that it is.

To my African American "journalists" who participated in bashing Gabby's hair, SHAME ON YOU.  Did you ever stop to consider that your remarks would cause a controversy that would further divide us as a people?  When are WE going to stop focusing on HAIR?  I thought that the good vs bad hair debate was over.  IT'S HAIR!!!  IT'S NOT THAT IMPORTANT!!!  All you have you have managed is tarnishing a very proud moment in Gabby Douglas' life and a moment in OUR HISTORY.   Again, SHAME ON YOU!!!


Gabby Douglas is a beautiful African American young woman who won a a gold medal.  Her hair is not what defines her.  Who she is as person is what defines her.
