No link to the original story. The story I read earlier has bern completely changed now to have Gabby’s black mother blaming the white host family for not knowing how to style ‘black hair’.

Apparently. Guess they think she is “acting white” by actually achieving. And the non-black libs don’t like her faith in God.

I had crabs once, in 1968. They weren’t that big though!

Seems Gabby's own mother was shooting off her big mouth.

'They don't know anything about taking care of her black hair': Mother of Olympic star Gabby Douglas blames star's white host family for controversial ponytail

Look who Gabby's biggest supporters are:
Support: Gabby's mother (centre) claimed that her host mother (left) knows 'nothing about her hair'. They witnessed the 16-year-old's gold medal win alongside 2008 Olympic gymnastics medalist Shawn Johnson

Wow-the family is gracious and hospitable enough to have Gaby,probably proud to do so, and this is the thanks they get from her mother? Just wow. Why should the host family be expected to know all the inner secrets of styling black hair, if it's such an esoteric thing? If it's yet another one of those things that "whites wouldn't understand, you gotta be black", then why blame them for not understanding, if that really is the case? These kinds of things make me want to scream, when no matter what whites do, it will be wrong. That's why I've adopted the principle of "why even bother? I won't get any A for effort, I'll just be handing them ammunition to use against me. Rather than do that to myself, I'll just leave them the heck alone so that if they want to find something to blame me for, they'll have to make it up out of thin air." That's my philosophy of life for this situation. If I leave you alone and do NOTHING for you, you can't then be mad because I did it wrong. I just won't do it at all.

“black people are honorless, incorrigible idiots.”

Why include this quote? I understand the person saying it is black and was probably resorting to hyperbole to make a point or else said it in the heat of the moment, but that shouldn't shield the fact that it is an ugly statement no matter who says it. Throw "some" in front of it and toss in every other color and that's fine, but as a blanket statement about an entire group of people it is unfair and the use of it plays into the stereotype of conservatives as being anti-black.

I mean, come on. Are black people really without honor? Are they really not only idiots but beyond all hope of ever being anything but idiots? Is this really what you are "punctuating" here by using that quote?

You know, I was actually going to frame a defensive response to this post but managed to catch myself just in time.

If I did, I would be falling into the same trap I always accuse other people of.

When confronted with politically correct garbage attacks, treat them with the contempt they truly merit - IGNORE THEM.

I don't blame you for trying to ignore it. There simply is no rational defense for stating the following:

the ridicule she is receiving from blacks punctuates the statement made by Rev. James Manning that “black people are honorless, incorrigible idiots.”

You’re quite persistent aren’t you?

Why don’t you write the author of the piece?

You’re right, and i apologize. I mistook this for a vanity post by you and my comments should have been directed at the author alone.
