Cap has been rejected by the international swimming federation fina for using during the olympics, citing the athletics competing at the international events, never used neither required to use caps such size and configuration, and this is all in caps, y'all the natural form of the head. Wow ain't that something let's continue on soul cap created in 2017, is a company that designs swimming caps, specifically for natural hair, in order for athletes to compete easily without struggling with cap size or the threat of damaging their hair. Following the decision to not be allowed at the olympics, so count released a statement explaining their disappointment and what it means for inclusively within the sport. We hope to further our work for diversity and swimming by having our swim caps certified for competition, so swimmers at any level don't have to choose between a sport, they love and their hair, and this information i got i saw on instagram. I saw on a african diaspar um page i'll follow. Then i also saw it on tmz in the shade room. So i was like damn. This is crazy, so olympic swimmer, simone manuel already called out what she says is racism in a sport last year she said, i think that my journey in the sport of swimming as a black woman has been one of many trials and tribulations. It'S very obvious that it's rooted in the thinking that black people can't swim shouldn't swim and can't be successful in this um. It'S successful in the sport of swimming. My apologies. I'Ve gotten responses like that. I'Ve gotten laughed at when i told people i swim swimming is what i do, i'm not going to let someone stand in my way. Well, let's talk about it and i'm going to say, black people should just walk away from the olympics. When i mean black people, i'm not talking about black, we got peop in jamaica, haiti, barbados, central america. You know: belize, guatemala, costa rica, brazil, even on the continent. Kenya, south africa, ghana, angola, egypt, you know liberia. The list goes on and on and on. Even in the uk, even in europe, maybe spain other countries - it's like why we keep playing these games with these people. They don't want us there, they don't care for us. I mean it's going to get worse and worse and worse, it's not going to get better. I'M just giving my opinion it's 20 21 y'all by the time the 2028 olympics coming around pretty soon they're gon na probably start saying, you're too dark enough to even run you're gon na have to get some um you're gon na have to have the skin whitening. Just to even compete, you know in the in the track and field race or they're gon na probably try to tell these women you ain't supposed to have braids when you run you're supposed to have a ball here, it's gon na be some [ __ ]. You need to cut your gold teeth off. I mean these european standards they actually making. Everybody have black people who they are like. You can't knock nobody. You can't knock the asian man, you can't knock the latino or hispanic. You can't knock nobody else, the jewish people, but it's what talk about black people. It'S like. We got ta jump, [, __, ], just to even be on an even playing field, but we're never on the ethan playing field. Look at all the stuff jesse always had to go through when he was in the in the olympics in 1932 running in germany, and then look at john carlos and i'm in 19 cca olympics the stuff he had to go through. So it's like it's always something. This is like you know they like to say this: the gift from the curse of being black. I it's beyond a given a curse. It'S a gift to be black, there's, no such thing as a curse. It'S just the system that black people are still trapped and they still dealing with some type of mental psychological enslavement post your comments below hulk smash black panther, the like button subscribe to my channel click, the bell icon to be notified.
