“who became the first black gymnast”
I know this is off topic, but for God’s sake I hope one day there will be no more “first black” to do whatever. Who cares that she’s black? Who are the people for whom this is important? She is, apparently, an excellent American gymnast. What else matters?
Black people, mostly.

Thank you!! I’m so TIRED of that crap. I think it was on “The Five” this week, when one of the ladies mentioned Jesse Owens’ win in Hitler’s heyday. She started to say “black”, but only got out “bl” and then went on to “American”. Finally!
And all this money for training...? Piano lessons are much cheaper, and probably are probably more useful throughout a lifetime. You might not get your face on a Wheaties box, but might be able to serve your church for years.
Amen What can a person do that is not a gamble?
