Gabby Douglas’ Hair Takes Center Stage? Really?!

A new hero emerges.

Really people?! Her hair?!

Gabby Douglas just wins the most prestigious medal in women’s gymnastics, making history in the process, and all some women can do is complain about how her hair looked?!

You have got to be kidding me. How superficial can some people be?

I know the power and importance of hair in the Black community, but come on people.

Congratulations to Gabrielle Douglas for a phenomenal Olympics performance and her two gold medals, especially the Best All Around. What an awesome accomplishment and she truly deserves to be America’s newest sweetheart (though I am concerned her ethnicity will keep her from being celebrated as much as say Nastia Liukin or Mary Lou Retton). She made us ALL proud, not just African-Americans.

Here is the link to the full story on the stupid hair controversy. I can’t believe how silly some people are.
