“Gabby was never a victim. In fact, many would say she was one of the favorites. I am not saying that she never felt bullied, because when you are in a sport with a bunch of girls, it is bound to happen. However, anything that she may have felt was never about race, and I can assure you everyone at some point has felt bullied. I never once heard her complain about girls being mean — funny how it is just now coming up.”—some lame ass motherfucker named Randy Stageburg

Man, where to start with this bullshit?

When Gabrielle (she wants to be called Gabrielle, not that cutesy pie Gabby shit.  I understand) called her daddy a deadbeat and said he abandoned his family, you had mofos cheering her on for being so brave to speak out against something so personal.  A couple of y’all took me to task for talking about NBC ignored her dad.  I didn’t know the whole story, I admit and I did bring up some points that Gabrielle loves her dad, bitch ass he may be.  Okay, I he’s a asshole, cool.  But, like I said, when she called him out, she was brave, oh, she was heroic for becoming a Olympic Champion despite her black ass daddy’s lame ass.

But, now, she says that she was bullied by some of her fellow gymnasts and she’s a liar, she wasn’t a victim and that Randy Stageburg sumbitch practically says that “some” bullying is expected but none of it was race based and she never told anyone about it until she was on Oprah.  

This is classic examples as to why people, especially young people, don’t talk about  such things as being bullies and/or being abused or being fucked with for the color of their skin.

Instead of grown ass folks, like Randy Stageburg, going to Gabrielle and talking with her about what happened, they go about their way to call the little black girl, who was being hailed a Olympic hero a few days ago, out to get paid, a liar and accuse her of pulling the race card.  Randy The Fool saying that “some bullying” is expected is like saying that some rape is cool if they only stick in the tip.  Fuck that shit.

As long as “Gabby” knew her role and stuck to it, she was their “favorite”.  As long as she was saying that her Dad wasn’t shit, she was America’s “favorite”.  But she starts talking about everybody who fucked with her and, heaven forbid, some of the guilty assholes are white, then she’s a racist, she’s a liar, she’s a greedy fucking kid pulling the race card to get paid?  How DARE she imply that racism went on at our business!  We loved that little colored girl!  She was our favorite little pickaninny!

Where are all these Anti-Bullying people to come to her defense?  You couldn’t swing a dead cat in a empty room without hitting somebody who was crying “What about the bullied kids?  Who is going to defend the bullied kids?” I thought that bullied kids aren’t alone, where y’all at?  We got a bully victim being bullied right in the court of public opinion.  Where y’all at?

Has Oprah spoke on this yet?  

Let me tell you, if Gabrielle was my kid, I would hold ONE press conference, cuss everybody, from the niggers who talked shit about her hair to the redneck motherfuckers now saying she’s making the slave comments up, the fuck out and take my daughter home and away from this bullshit.  I’d be damn if the likes of Randy Stageburg gonna talk shit about my kid.  I’d whoop his ass. Fuck you, Randy.

Fuck naw, she ain’t Gabby for you jive ass racist fuckers who like your Negro kids smiling and performing for your pleasure, her name is Gabrielle and she’s tired of your shit, America. 

So am I.

Curtis Martin reflects on mother’s pain, lack of passion for football at Hall of Fame - Yahoo! Sports

For Martin, football was an escape from a home life that was tragic. Martin, who spoke without notes but with a clear understanding of what he was trying to say, recounted the violence of his young life. He talked about how his father used to “torture” his mother by burning her hair with a lighter or her skin with lit cigarettes.

He recounted again how his grandmother was found beaten to death in his family’s apartment when he was nine. He remembered being 15 and having a gun pointed at his head as the gunman pulled the trigger seven times without the bullet firing. Finally, when the gunman pointed the gun away from Martin, the gun discharged.

NBC gives Tracy Morgan more respect than they did Gabby Douglas Father

thehuskybro:

Not one single mention of Gabby’s dad.  

Made it seem like her mom was all on her own, no man in sight.  ”Tsk, tsk tsk, ain’t that a shame?”

But that’s not true, is it NBC?

image

image

Gabby hadn’t seen her dad (Air National Guard Staff Sgt. Timothy Douglas) in two years when he surprised the teen by popping into the U.S. Olympic trials in late June.

And he was far from London when the teen known as the “Flying Squirrel” vaulted into America’s heart with a second gold medal by winning the all-around title.

Timothy Douglas is stationed in Afghanistan as part of the Air National Guard, 203rd Red Horse Squadron.

And it is clear that her dad loves her…

While he couldn’t make it to the London games, Douglas did fly into San Jose, Calif., to watch his daughter earn her spot on the U.S. team this summer.

At the time, Gabby recalled hearing her name coming down from the crowd at the trials. She looked up to see her father waving a U.S. flag with her name written across the stripes.

“There’s a feeling that you can’t describe,” the elder Douglas told the Des Moines Register after the reunion. “I just missed her so much.”

image

…and that she loves her dad

Gabby Douglas credited the surprise visit for giving her a huge boost in the qualifying competition.

“I was like, ‘OK, you’ve got to get it together,’” she recalled. “Seeing him made my night, actually.”

If this isn’t the perfect set up for one of those infamous Olympic “personal stories” that NBC has been shoving down our throats, I don’t know what is.

But if you watched NBC, you would have thought that Gabby’s mom was the only parent involved in her life, the traditional story another black man who doesn’t take care of his kids, that all of America has come to believe is true of all black men.

image

This isn’t a random incident either.  Back in the day, the media would try to pull all kinds of fuckery on Serena and Venus Williams father, Richard

image

Richard wasn’t haven’t it and didn’t.  He didn’t give a fuck about the media and how they portrayed him, he knew what he was about and so does his kids.  

They don’t fuck with Richard no more.  

They treat him like a live volcano, they watch from a distance and approach very cautiously.

Like I said, unless a black dude isn’t doing this kind of shit…

NBC obviously don’t think that America cares to see us doing anything positive.
