re: Piers Morgan accused of racism for criticising Simone Biles.

Piers Morgan has shown he has no respect for black women

If she wants to generalize Simone and the tennis chick (name not important) into "all black women" then let's use her rules. Overall, in general, do the majority of black women deserve respect? Remember, this puts Oprah, for example, into the same group as the all too common "6 kids 4 daddies but not a father to be found" Welfare Zombies you see getting groceries on your dime.

Don't think she wants to play those odds. Let exceptional women stand on their own, for better or worse. Simone doesn't deserve being propped up because of her race when her actions and treatment by the judges had nothing to do with her race. But alas, today's media has to make disfunction seem normal.

If she truly has a severe enough mental issue to keep her from 36 hours of work, I do feel sorry for her. I personally don't think she does, but I have nothing but instinct to rely on, so that is immaterial. All I know is I convinced myself not to find out what buckshot tastes like for years, and I went to work every day. When I had to run a sales meeting or make a pitch to a big customer, I was always there and on task because people relied on me. Anecdotal yes but I believe it is valid. Simone could have gutted it out. I know she was being treated unfairly and that is reprehensible, so I don't really blame her for taking her tight pony tail and going home. Wish she would have found a way to finish, for better or worse, with honor.
