Gabby Critics


I really don't understand how people can criticize Gabby Douglas!
I mean, you must really be a miserbale person to go after a young lady who had the drive, the ambition, the audacity to chase her dream.
Instead of congratulating her, people are attacking the way she wear her hair.
They're attacking her physical appearance.
They're attacking her mother's decision to send her to Iowa to live with another family.
Why!?
Does her success remind them of their failures?
Does the fact that she work out NINE TIMES A WEEK remind them of how lazy they are?
Does her mother's decision to go bankrupt to make sure her daughter had everything she needed to be successful remind them of the mother who never did anything for them?
What is it?
The sad part about it- the majority of the criticism is coming from people who look just like her.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again.........
The only thing "we" as a people love more than building each other up-is tearing each other down.
If there is anyone who deserves our total support-it's Gabby Douglas!
This young lady is a role model for thousands of young African-American girls who have the desire to follow in her footsteps.
One of those girls just happen to be my nine year old daughter.
So please..........if you don't have anything nice to say about this young lady, keep your comments to yourself.
The rest of us who are proud to see a young lady doing something positive, would greatly appreciate it!
