Winter Olympics Offer Concrete Proof That America Is Still A Racist Country

If anyone thinks the United States had finally shed its vile, racist ways with the election of Barack Obama, think again. One simply needs to watch the 2010 Winter Olympics - it's proof that the United States hasn't progressed - it's still the same racist nation it's always been. White institutionalized racism is more alive than ever, and clearly it permeates the USOC (United States Olympic Committee). For those people-of-color who haven't had time to watch the winter Olympics, the USOC's website has photos of the "Team USA" athletes:

http://www.teamusa.org/athletes/find

See much diversity? Hardly. It seems 95% (or more) of the athletes are white. I thought this nation had moved past Jim Crow laws? Perhaps technically it did, but in practical terms, Jim Crow is alive and well. White privilege once again rears its ugly head and people-of-color are subject to it during two weeks of Winter Olympic games in Vancouver.

What can be done about this? I suggest people of conscience write the USOC and express their outrage regarding the lack of diversity of "Team USA". The USOC mailing address is:

USOC
1 Olympic Plaza
Colorado Springs, CO 80909

The USOC is a publicly funded entity - your tax dollars are funding this racist organization - demand justice!

In looking towards the next Winter Olympics four years from now, mandatory racial quotas must determine the racial/ethnic makeup of "Team USA 2014". Such quotas should reflect the racial breakdown of the United States, percentage-wise. All people of moral character should work towards correcting our de facto Jim Crow society.

Mens figure skating show down with american EVAN LYSACEK and russian YEVGENY PLUSHENKO was riveting. LYSACEK earned the gold medal, but watching him skate is like watching paint dry. No passion, No charisma.!!!

CANADA you are putting on a fabulous olympics.!!

Winter olympics are a tough sell in the black community. A tough sell almost any where. Most people prefer the SUMMER OLYMPICS. Economics has a lot to do with it. winter sports are expensive. You start at a very young age, the expense and sacrifice are off the charts.

I love the downhill competition too but I really got scared the other day when Anja Pärson fell and flew about 60 meters before she landed.I was happy she was alive and didn´t need to go to hospital.Next day she took a bronzemedal in the combination although her body was aching.

Congratulations.I haven´t seen half pipe, maybe they show it in the nights.
 
Hmm after Canada's hard night against Switzerland it's suddenly so quiet.. :D I think it's great that the little countries can give at least a little opponent to the great hockey countries. And Slovakia even won Russia :bugeyed That was a surprise.

I agree, I thought Johnny deserved a better score. I know Johnny runs his mouth a lot, but I do love him. :)

Congrats to Evan Lysacek on his win!

And how cute is Daisuke Takahashi of Japan, who won the bronze medal? He was so happy and gracious during the medal ceremony.

Also, Nobunari Oda of Japan, whose lace broke on one of his skates during his performance. :( My heart broke for him, but he went on with such poise and confidence. I just wanted to give him a big hug. :hug:
 
^ Hey is that in your siggy the Apollo dude who everyone is so crazy about? :p He looks just like one boy in my school.

Yes, that's Apolo Ohno. :) The other guy is J.R. Celski, who's also in Short Track. This is J.R.'s first Olympics.

And lucky you that you go to school with someone who looks like Apolo! I'm jealous! :lol:

That was a great game! :D
 
I saw a voting in a swedish newspaper, have you forgiven tre kronor(swedens men hockeyteam )for losing to Belarus 1992 in the olympics.there are only about 4000 votes yet but 49% said no.
Tre kronor won goldmedals last olympics, what more can they do?
We are meeting Belarus this evening and I hope we´ll beat them this time.
I hope that especially Peter Forsberg does a great match because they are arguing in the papers if he really should be in the team , is he good enough nowadays, healthy etc.

Oh man, Apolo makes my heart melt....I would gladly have his child:yes:

I feel bad for him though, you should see all of the mean things people are saying about him because they are still bitter about Salt Lake City....something that wasnt even his fault.

I'm so looking forward for the game between Sweden and Finland! It will be exciting! I have to wake up at 7am though :yawn:
Finland just won Germany and Teemu Selänne is now officially holding the record of most points in the Olympics! (of active players) :clapping:
