The internet and social media networks have been buzzing over the last 8 hours with comments about Olympic gold medal gymnast Gabby Douglas. Some comments were very positive and some were negative.
After scanning through some of the negative comments, we noticed that many were coming from African-American women criticizing Gabby’s hair.
Why would anyone especially African American women criticize the second female African- American U.S. gymnast to ever make the Olympic team, and the first African-American Olympic gymnast (male or female) to win gold in gymnastics’ biggest prize, the women’s all-around title?
In defense of Douglas, Yahoo!Shine’s Senior Editor Lylah M. Alphonse wrote:
For the first time ever, the queen of daytime talk show, Oprah Winfrey is appearing on the cover of the september 2012 edition of “O Magazine” with her natural hair ( no perm, blow-drying or straightening).
She says that wearing her hair naturally—as she often does on weekends and on vacation—makes her feel unencumbered.
But there was a time when she wanted to just cut it all off. “I wanted to wear it close-cropped a la Camille Cosby but her husband Bill convinced me otherwise.
‘Don’t do it,’ he said. ‘You’ve got the wrong head shape and you’ll disappoint yourself.’ I took his advice,” she says.
Although, never one to shy away from a style update, Winfrey is a firm believer that changing your hairstyle can change what we see and feel is possible.

Former CNN anchor, T.J. Holmes, now host of BET’s upcoming show “Don’t Sleep,” appeared on MSNBC’s “The Ed Show” and talked about an encounter he had with police on Tuesday in Atlanta that may have been a case of racial profiling, otherwise known as “driving while black.”
Holmes was pulled over unaware of what he had done wrong and began to document the traffic stop on Twitter.
Holmes says he was less than two miles from his home when officers who had been following him for a few miles pulled him over. He claims when he asked officers why he was pulled over the officer said, ”I wanted to make sure you have insurance on the car.”
