Black Londoners on Gabrielle Douglas Hair Controversy- REALLY?!!!!!

Check out the interviews I conducted with Black Londoners about the Gabrielle Douglas hair controversy. They are quite surprised that people would comment on her hair.

 

 

For an official report on this issue, check out this NPR piece, “If Gabby Got the Gold, Why Flip Out Over Her Hair?”

    This story is a complete lie – as far as I know ONE black women name Latisha Jenkin did not like her hair.  I am a African American Women who loves everything about Gabby.  I am not even sure this aren’t factious people.  We love Gabby here in the U.S. – I wonder who the heck is Latisha Jenkins – first of all she is from Detroit – really the brokest city in the world. 

    women and men of Detroit are the essences of bad taste  I would love to meet Latisha Jenkins – didn’t she come on In Living Color?  Isn’t she the one who doesn’t gossip?

    And who is this horrible reporter – in case you don’t know your hair is a fricking disaster area!

  • http://www.facebook.com/LaurenSWilliams1 Lauren Stephania Williams

    U re very horrible reporter !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • http://twitter.com/ReenieHOO Carena T.

    I saw two tweets from women and one from a man- and now I’m sure they’ve shut down their twitter accounts from all the hate tweets they’re getting for commenting on something so stupid.  Ghettofolks making everyone look bad, as usual. :(

  • http://www.facebook.com/jeanettesdaughter Naima Major Berry

    completely asinine.  all of it.   as usual, blacks wherever you find us have two enemies:  racists who hate all blacks and black people who hate all things that speak of blackness.  for the life of me i can not figure out what  people find so wrong about this young lady’s hair.  as for meeting the queen.  stuff and nonsense.  i am sure had the queen wanted to meet her in that golden moment, neither would have cared one bit about what everyone else seems to think is so worthy of comment.   it seems to me that the longer we remain obsessed with our hair, our skin color, our hips, our noses, etc. ad nauseum because we are not white! that is how long we shall remain second class citizens (if even that) worldwide.  end racism wherever you find it and out of whomever’s mouth now!  grow up and become  a better human being so that one day  if you have talent and work hard, you may become a champion like gabby douglas.

  • http://Kiratianatravels.com/ Kiratiana

    Yep. The interesting thing is that this fits popped up on my Facebook page after she won the trials.

  • http://Kiratianatravels.com/ Kiratiana

    Hi Naima,

    All great points. I brought up the question about the queen because someone said that it might not be quite right to meet the queen.

    And the obsession with hair is unreal. I’ve been doing these videos while I’m in London and tons of people comment on my hair. People focus on hair ALOT in the US.

    But do you feel it’s different in Europe?

  • http://Kiratianatravels.com/ Kiratiana

    You gotta start somewhere! I won’t you to go out and interview people in the streets.

  • Mahogany Hill

    Personally, as an African American woman, I am disgusted by this ridiculous, ill prepared reporter who is trying to falsely accuse all African Americans of creating, contributing to and or buying into this frivolous bull. How dare you, black woman!

    My associates nor my representatives are even thinking about this foolishness. Who the hell cares about a freakink pontail on a teenager. YOU, lady, steal her thunder by giving this story legs and then wrongly saying it’s us spreading this information.

    The worst part about your unprofessional and umrefined interview is that YOU were goading British Blacks into feeding into the bullying. She is a teenager. Instead of reporting on her sucess, BLACK WOMAN, you chose to falsely charge a race of people, make us look like shallow uninformed and unintelligent idiots and pressed Londoners to act in the way you accused us of being.

    Point blank, people like you are the true cancer in life. You are treacherously fiendish and completely worthless…

  • http://Kiratianatravels.com/ Kiratiana

    Hi Mahogany,

    I agree. I should not have charged an entire race of people as having these views. That was wrong. My only intention was to get the reactions of people in the city. I totally should have framed the issue better.

    But that doesn’t mean we can’t address an issue from different angles. That was my goal here.

  • An American

    Really? This is stupid. Why even waste time discussing it?  Not all black Americans said anything about her hair or even cared. It looked fine. There are more important issues.

  • Mahogany Hill

    I appreciate your willingness to dialogue. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can appreciate in that piece. You had the good fortune to travel to and report from the Olympics. There are any number of hungry individuals who would have done anything to be in your shoes. You dropped the ball on this and stabbed it with a rusty knife.

    Even if you wanted to cover something of interest, you could’ve tackled the story about teen athletes and their medals or teens handling sucess vs handling failures or athletes gracefully submitting when they don’t like a call. There were so many things you could’ve tackled versus gabby’s ponytail. Why not ask if a white athlete’s hair would be appropriate to meet the queen after he/she just worked up a sweat in competition.

    You took an opportunity to talk about how far would you go to assure your child achieved greatness as a topic (reflecting gabby’s mother’s financial issues) and chose to exacerbated douchbagery mentioned by he few (of multiple races). As long as u r creating “history” via recorded commentary, try proper planning and lead with real stories and “angles” vs exaggerated pointless footnotes that have the danger of transforming into a dissertation of nonsense.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_42BRRRH3HF6HVTVUAEPHEV4TXI Cynthia

    Tell it Mahogany!!  I hate yellow journalism and black folks like this journalist who have a crab in the bucket mentality are no better than the ones who actually said this crap about Gabby. How would she feel if it were her 16 year old daughter out there and silly news folk like her are focusing on stupid mess like how her daughter wore her hair instead of how she won a medal. Sometimes black folks are their own worst enemy. Does this Kiratiana have no moral ethics?  I would have had sense enough to walk away from sensationalism and instead focus on a real story here.  More and more journalism is all about grabbing sensational headlines. I’ve long lost respect for many news shows and journalist.  Every one on the street want their 15 minutes of fame at the cost of trampling someone else. Shame on you Kiratiana!! You should have known better!  

  • Guest

    Just like you can’t tell her not to judge an entire group of people, why are you judging people from a whole city you know nothing about? You sound just as ignornant. How do you even know the chick is from Detroit who said it? People say anything oline.

  • Please

    Please do us all a favor and never mention this dumb ish again.. You’re losing credibility as a journalist real fast. People in GB already think they’re more enlightened than Americans and bringing up the dumb comments of one or two people proves it.

  • F in london

    this was a real story. It might be one you don’t like but it is real.
    And I dare you to get up, commit your money and do this.
    Just like the people who complained about gabby’s hair.. you are content with sitting down and pointing fingers..

    Telling people what and how to do things without attempting it yourself.
    Your post was appallingly rude. 
    She covered something of interest in a cool way. All the people were positive about Gabby’s hair and about the nonsense of bringing the issue up.

    So there, a home journalist, got an international opinion on a particular topic. All opinions aligned with your thinking by the way, yet you still attempt to crush her spirit.

    All over other media people are saying ALL black women are complaining about Gabby’s hair?. Did you hear that?. ALL.

    If you want to reframe the convo, by all means do so. Get out your camera go interview some people about whatever topic you chose, and promote it or label it.. ‘in response to Gabby’s hair, black women are discussing more pertinent issues like …… ‘insert your topic here’.

    oh no. 
    Instead, you come on her blog, pull up strawmen and have the audacity to attempt to venerate her and she is too decent to actually tell you where to go.

    Astonishing!

    I’d use a different tone, but I’m guessing that the blog owner is probably a little too polite to allow it on her blog.

  • April Dorris

    I don’t know how or where this story started, but it is everywhere. And since the white reporters (male and female) feel they can fully discuss this issue, I don’t see why people have issue with you doing the same and getting input from other black cultures. We focus on the wrong things sometimes and we need to see our people of another country calling us out for ridiculous perceptions. 

    With that said, Gabby is a beautiful, YOUNG woman who is on par for her age and profession. We have to stop attacking our babies and making them grow up too fast.

  • guest

    Really?? This chick has nothing else to report about?? Gabby won 2 gold medals are you f**cking kidding me!! This woman should be ashamed of herself for even discussing that!!!

    hi back. sorry for the delay and thank you for the response. i try to be lucid and careful online. no idea what i said. glad it was helpful. you have some people upset with you, weh? no idea about europe, but the usa is obsessed with hair. it’s a racial thing. still. and the typical “black” response is to go get that perm or that weave fixed, not to wear or learn to wear natural hair beautifully. a chick could lose her job looking too black. flipping the script: read little bee, yet? do!.
