Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas just did an interview talking about her family, and she said that her father walked out on her when she was a kid.

Gabby quote

It was really hard for us growing up — my dad had left us, so he wasn’t really in the picture anymore,” Douglas, 16, said yesterday.

“So my mom had to front all these bills. My dad didn’t really pay the child support. He was short [on money]. It was definitely hard on her part, and she had to take care of me and the rest of my siblings.’’

Soooo....are you saying that it's the father's fault that Gabby wears her hair relaxed? Because I can show you plenty of Black ladies with father who helped raise them who get hit with the Perminator.

Black men need to stand up and be men, black men need to be in their kids life.

1. Stop trying to father from a distance.

2. There is no reason that Gabby Douglas father wasn't at the Olympics to watch her compete.

This is the first time that I will say that you had something to say that I agree with.

Treyvon Martin parents are divorced but they are by each other side the whole way. So what excuse does Gabby Douglas father have for not going to the Olympics?
