Why does everyone forget about Dominic Dawes

[@TurnAwayNow]

#NEVERFORGETTEN SHE'S 💣 & HAS HER OWN SCHOOL IN MARYLAND.! They were just mentioning the more recent gymnastics who have influenced the recent influx in participation.

Great job 👏🏽 it’s about time ! There are sooo many phenomenal black , biracial, Hispanic and just over all minorities that are so great at this sport . I’m surprised it’s taken this long ! Good luck ladies I’m excited to see this come to fruition , and see this team become a contender in NCAA gymnastics. You ladies made history !!! Congrats 🫶🏽

Hispanic, is not a Race. And Mixed People ↪👨🏾👩🏾👨🏽👩🏽👨🏻👩🏻 are not Black↪👨🏿👩🏿. Shakira is a White Women, George Lopez is a Mestizo Man. Aka Hispanic is not a Race

I'm impressed with the effort to bring this program to Fisk. This is awesome. Someone has to do it if you want it to get done.

It's crazy how I have to fight for my daughter to be put in the proper level program; I pulled her out of her last school.

Racist school. Racist story

[@THATmtfgirl]

what’s racist about this hbcu? i’m curious..

[@Shane-bx8ws]

@@THATmtfgirl what percentage of this school is Hispanic, White, Asian, Native, or any other race? Less than 1%??? How is that NOT racist? Just curious

[@THATmtfgirl]

@@Shane-bx8ws it’s an hbcu (historically black college university) .. they were created when black people couldn’t attend college with white people. (that’s what’s racist). they wanted to be further educated, so they made a space to do so. white people don’t typically apply for hbcu’s.. most of them that do apply, get accepted.. maybe educate yourself on hbcu’s 👀 they are welcoming of all. unlike many private schools in America.

[@Shane-bx8ws]

@@THATmtfgirl... exactly! "BLACK college.. the racism is in the name! Your excuse of what happened a century ago is outdated, that all changed. Yet, they remain. Stop using 100 years ago as an excuse. We are not in the 1920's. Neither of us were even alive when blacks weren't allowed to attend White schools. If it was racist to have White schools, then according to equality, it would be racist to have black schools. You're just a racist hypocrite.

[@dennislosee]

Where is the inclusivity! As an Asian American I’m appalled with the lack of representation. Affirmative action is what is needed in this country! It doesn’t matter that the other CIS women were represented we need all demographics met! It doesn’t matter if the other girls are better every one should be represented!!!😡😡 just Kidding girls! You did amazing! Keep up the good work! Never take second place and keep doing your thing!
