Already addressed, ask you Gov, not me!
Really guys, I do try my best to be a good sport and reply to all, but can we stop repeating and repeating, PLEASE!
If you are a US citizen you are your government. And you brought it up.
So you should be able to address it.
Well, I'm from the UK, so I can't help you there! Lol.
So a US citizen is its own Government? LOLz that deserves its own thread
Go make one!

they have repeatedly talked about nations that have never won a medal.. having the first African American woman win the all around gymnastics would seem to be nothing more than an extension of that same train of thought. i don't see the comment as racism and im sure the black communities across America are rather proud of her accomplishment.
the Olympics are after all about representing your people and nation at the highest level of competition in the world.

Sorry to butt in, great questions but I think this person is pulling your tripod.. They don't really care about the truth or equality.
It's very sad, but they have a deep connection with this political ideology

Unbelievable people are still wanting to deny this girl the honor of being the first African American to accomplish something no other African American had accomplished before her.
Disgusting that some of you get upset and uncomfortable hearing about African American's successes.
The first African American President and now a African American gold medalist in gymnastics....the racists world is shattering around them...but they won't die quietly...they have to spout disgusting rants till the very end.
Your right, your's is a perfict example of a disgusting rant.

But she IS African American.
Have you asked her how she feels about it before speaking on her behalf?
What if she is proud to say "Im the first African American woman to do this"...
If thats the case, your tottally raining on her parade.
(Just an alternative view point, In my opinion, your drawing more attention to the fact, than the commentators did)

All I can say is that if there was an event that a Caucasian won gold in for the first time ever the media wouldn't dare point it out.

Arguing semantics here... this girl is too young to be an ex-slave, so it's not true (saying it is just being silly), especially considering she is an Olympian, chances are she has had a very privileged life to be able to dedicate it to gymnastics...
