Good for her, but the colors I care about are Red, White, and Blue.
I won 3 down hill skiing medals, but they were definitely not olympic class, they were just during NASTAR races, during my dozens of ski trips to UP Michigan & upper Wisconsin, when I lived in Chicagoland. I won 2 bronze and 1 silver medals.
Good for her - but she got it because of her hard work and effort.
Not because of the color of her skin.
Meritocracy, baby!
Thumbs up! The amount of effort/work that took to win is awesome, as for all these athletes. YOU GO GiRL!
Sounds like a complete racist to me. Does not deserve to wear the Red White and Blue.
“Hopefully, this has an effect,” Jackson said. “Hopefully, we’ll see more minorities, especially in the USA, getting out and trying these winter sports.”
Like the liberals always say, she’s a “credit to her race.”
More impressive to me is that she is from Ocala, Florida.
I remember when Vanetta Flowers, the black women from Alabama, won her gold medal in bobsled in 2002. The media were pumping her about being the first black to ever win a medal in the Winter Olympics. She said something to the extent, “That’s all well and good but I’m an American and that’s what matters most.”
Could not have been happier for her.
Detroit area speed skating in those days was mostly outside and a good friend of mine, his wife and her two sisters were competitive skaters since the rink was right by their houses.
An actual sport.
Traitor Barbie “won” a skiing gold medal based on judges scores.
From the article: “Jackson grabbed an American flag and did a victory lap around the Ice Ribbon oval, the stars and stripes fluttering above her head.”
It also stated that Brittany Bowe gave up her spot in this event so Erin could compete. As it turned out, a spot opened up so both could be in the race. They are close friends who are both from Ocala, Florida.
Jackson said: “She made a really big sacrifice for me. I’ll be grateful to her forever.” After the race, she said: “(Bowe) hugged me and we cried. She said she’s really proud of me and I said a lot of thank yous.”
We what does she want, a medal?
Great!
Congrats...
KULTURAL APPROPRIATION!!!!
