Blacks Winning For America By Brother John Morrison

Date:

24-year-old Simone Biles is the most decorated American gymnast and is considered one of the greatest and most dominant gymnasts of all time. Those who attack or question her decision to step down, you could never survive a day in her shoes.

Like the Federalist.com’s John Daniel Davidson who wrote “Sorry, Simone Biles, The Olympics isn’t about you, It’s about winning for America.”

What do Black People gain by winning for America? Let’s see!

1936
Jesse Owens won 4 Gold medals representing America, returning back to America, he was still forced to enter through the back door of a Reception held in “HIS HONOR”.

1960
Muhammad Ali known then as Cassius Clay, won a gold medal in the Rome 1960 Olympic Games. representing America. After returning home and being declined service at a “HOMETOWN”
restaurant in Louisville KY, because he was an African-American, Cassius Clay was so angry that he threw his gold medal into a river.

1968
John Carlos Bronze Medalist and Tommie Smith Gold Medalist, track and field winners in the 200 meters at the 1968 Summer Olympics, and their Black Power salute on the podium caused them to be Black Bald and Ridiculed. “Niggers need to go back to Africa!” and, “I can’t believe this is how you niggers treat us after we let you run in our games.”

The Olympic Commission has made sure something like this will never happen again, you must sign a waiver now, whatever the Commission considers inappropriate actions will not be demonstrated or you will be immediately suspended.

2012
Allyson Felix is the 2012 Olympic gold medal winner, and a three-time world champion – maintaining the title from 2005 through to 2009. She’s the only Olympic female track star to win six gold Medals Representing America.

Allyson Felix said her “stomach dropped” when she was asked to participate in a female-empowerment ad for Nike while negotiating maternity protections with the company.” I was like, this is just beyond disrespectful. She was eventually dropped.

2012 – 2016
Gabrielle Douglas won the 2012 Olympic all-around champion and the 2015 World all-around silver medalist Representing America. Returning home her biggest Obstacle was her “HAIR”. She was humiliated because her hair wasn’t acceptable to America. Remember the statement, “She is cute, but my God look at her HAIR” That phrase elicits in every American black woman a particularly dehumanizing and existential dread — a fear, a state of mind, a poison distilled from over 400 years of not having “good enough” hair.

2021
Simone Biles member of the 2016 Olympic gymnastics team referred to as the “FINAL FIVE”, where Simone won her 25th World Championship Medal that fall. She now has a Combined 30 Olympic and World Championship Medals. Simone has announced she will be dropping from the Competition due to Mental Issues.

Some believe she’s faking, she just doesn’t have tough skin, how dare you let America down. Again she has nothing.to prove or really explain to anyone. Some want to know exactly what Mental illness she is dealing with. America should be looking at the many Athletes who are dealing with Mental illness and start addressing it. Some black people will say, well we have come a long way. How far exactly have we come?

We are still getting crumbs and acting like, yes we are moving forward. Yet we are still being Disrespected, Targeted, and Separated. But, hey to some It’s getting better. We’re moving in the right direction.

“SHUT UP AND PLAY”
“SHUT UP AND PLAY TENNIS”
“SHUT UP AND DRIBBLE”
“JUST SHUT UP PERIOD”

It’s now 2021 and we still represent America with Pride, but still fighting for the same exact thing, Equality, Justice, and Human Rights.

John Morrison Aka Brother John is the Head Coach of the YO.K.O Boxing Team, which has produced 5 Golden Gloves Champions, 3 Ringside Champions, and 10 Junior Olympic Champions. He is the Co-founder of Brother 2 Brother Radio, bringing information to the Community, and is the President and co-founder of the 100 Black Fathers for Change Organization.
