The best African American figure skater in history is now bankrupt and living in a trailer.
ncertainty is not a feeling Debi Thomas has often experienced in her 48 years. She was once so confident in her abilities that she simultaneously studied at Stanford University and trained for the Olympics, against the advice of her coach. She was once so lauded for the lithe beauty she expressed on the ice that Time magazine put her on its cover and ABC’s “Wide World of Sports” named her athlete of the year in 1986. She wasn’t just the nation’s best figure skater. She was smart — able to win a competition, stay up all night cramming, then ace a test the next morning.
She wanted it all. And for a time, she had it. After Stanford came medical school at Northwestern University, then marriage to a handsome lawyer who gave her a son — who in turn became one of the country’s best high school football players. Higher and higher she went.
tl/dr: Mental disorder is a nasty bitch.

I was told everyone is racist in that other thread.
So why would I read about an African american woman who probably had a drug problem or something.

So she's insane? (Halfway through the article).

I wonder what she is going to do with her yearbooks?
