Let’s give him something to think about in November. Get out and vote.

In 1992, Dominique Dawes and Betty Okino shattered the gymnastics color barrier, becoming the first African American gymnasts to compete in the games and win an Olympic medal when the U.S. won bronze in the team competition. (Though, notably, Luci Collins and Ron Gallimore would have broken the color barrier in 1980 had the U.S. not boycotted the Moscow games.)

But in the end it is just another repetition of the many ways white america uses racism to provide for their privileges at the expense of OTW Americans.

Shameful is these mildest term that can be used. However it is inexcusable, unforgivable, reprehensible that they continue to practice discrimination towards OTW Americans without a hint of shame.

Sen. Nerissa Underwood, D-Tamuning, and Guam Delegate Madeleine Bordallo condemned the billionaire businessman this past week for stating that a Filipino migrant to the U.S. was convicted of plotting to join both terrorist groups al-Qaida and the Taliban.

Trump has previously made blanket statements about banning Muslims from entering the U.S. and has proposed to bar individuals “from any nation that has been compromised by terrorism.” During a speech in Maine last week, he listed several countries like Iraq, Morocco, the Philippines, Syria, and Yemen as places where anti-American terrorists have emigrated.

Give me a break. If this idiot were anything but a white man, he would have been laughed off the stage. But just as with music, art, or anything else, white America can make anything profitable because they have no taste.

It all about them and who among them tells them what is good, bad, or ugly.

Now here it is, four years later, and Simone Biles is everything she was just four years ago. I just wonder what the heck kind of life these kids have, when they’re pushed through the grinder and worked out until they have the upper bodies of linebackers, pushed out into the spotlight, and then before they know it they’re last year’s news and suddenly someone else is “America’s darling.”

And in four years, we’ll have another ‘America’s darling’ and Simone Biles will be pushed off the stage as well. It’s darned brutal.

I know, I know: “Everyone knew she was going to win anyway.” Shut up.
