BLACK-American females who for some reason chose to post their insensitive comments on Twitter and other popular online social-media sites for ALL the world to see rather than privately discuss the matter among themselves AWAY from the internet!?!   Was I happy with Gabby's hair during the Olympics? NO. I'm a proud Black-American female. My maternal grandmother began teaching me how to take care of my hair at age 9. Doing hair was NOT my mother's *thing* but she did her best in keeping my hair done EVERY day.    Personally, I don't see why Gabby's mom couldn't have helped Gabby a bit with her hair? (it was THE OLYMPICS for goodness sake!)   But for critics to have been so focused on her hair, instead of her monumental achievement, just seem so mean, petty and small-minded to me. </span>
