Thank you for using the Term BLACK AMERICAN! Very appreciated. Sincerely

Calling her derogatory term is a good thing??? What makes her black?

@@tecumseh4095get your eyes checked asap. What is she when you see her? You just want attention for being provocative. Cos why is being called black derogatory?

[@bmswisdom9824]

The term “American” should be the legally appropriate term and not “Black American”. Why does it have to about race, created by the Caucasian, when it comes to other human races? It appears that everything about North America is about racial diversity.

So is the key to birthing sport women superstars naming them Simone? 😅😊

[@billyhill727]

Is that a problem for parents naming their child Simone? Or is it because she's Black?

[@soniawilliams7076]

@@billyhill727she was just making a joke , because two great athletes have the name Simone. It’s not serious.

I think I may be suffering from something similar, I trained in the army to become a soldier and ever since my body hasn’t tolerated physical duress very well.

✌🏽 her swimsuit - would suit female gymnasts 😁

[@laman8914]

The big question is, why is Simone not competing in the 100m free at the Olympics while she qualified for it at the US-trials.

[@FourSeasons04]

She placed fourth...that only quaĺified her for the 4x100m relay.

[@FourSeasons04]

It's sad that the US has not produced another 100m freestyle threat like Simone...none of the current swimmers have come close to her AR - 52.04.

[@AbleInTruth]

she did poorly in the 200 relay! she is good for 50 and maybe 100. why use her in an event where she is not among the best? politics? yes!

[@starbright3509]

They obviously used her because she won her gold fair and square…. She came iut on top, that how it works 🤡

A literate person would have used the word "could" instead of "can". As in, "I didn't think racist trolls COULD use proper English, and I still don't."
