Dysfunctionally_Functioning

I thought long and hard about posting on this. First, I will start off by saying congratualtions to this young lady. To me Gabby Douglas is amazing. To me she is awesome. At this age I have seen so many young girls struggle with finding themselves and trying to fit in. This young sista is living out her dreams, and breaking and setting records. I know her family is proud and so is everyone in the Hampton Roads area. I can only image the sacrifices made by herself and her family. Sometime you have to make those sacrifices for the bigger picture. Now onto those who are talking about this baby hair: first, how can you all speak on something as minute as her hair with all she has accomplished in the Olympics this year? Second, who in the hell is worried about hair when youre out there doing flips and sweating? Third, have you ever thought that spending the last few years in Iowa with a non-black family it may be a little hard finding someone to nuture and take care of her hair? and Fourth, WTF? i mean seriously? she has dont more in your short sixteen years than most have done in their entire lives! And all you can think on is her hair? how shallow is that? thats some ol hood, ghetto, ass backwards, crabs in a barrel mentality! where do you draw the line between joking and cruelty? some where innocent jokes im sure, but others were just plain cruel. I really hope that the negativity does not stop her or affect her. GOOD JOB GABRIELLE!!!!! Do not let the haters get to you. keep doing you and staying focused. oh and lets not forget the williams sisters for doing their thing winnning the doubles gold1
