1. Oh god, fucking trumpers must HATE her

[Blue_true]

8. I am sure that they also hate the young Black teen that won the worldwide spelling bee.

She also happens to be a star student AND a nationally ranked basketball prodigy (Five Star level, like the number one or two ranked female Point Guard in the country).

[Eliot Rosewater]

10. Guaranteed.

&ab_channel=ScrippsNationalSpellingBee


Thanks for this heads up, I am learning about her now.

[RVN VET71]

22. Don't get too excited.

She only won because she had 20,000+ correctly spelled words illegally implanted in her brain via reading and memorizing. Worse, she apparently had them hidden in her cranium the whole time she competed.

Outrageous, I tell ya. How will America ever regain its greatness if children -- children! -- are encouraged to study and work . Our ex-president, Loser-45, tried to set the example for success that all good American kids need to follow: be born rich, steal your siblings’ inheritance, and never get off the pot before 11:00 a.m.

[North Shore Chicago]

36. Hah!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

27. Ok, kid, but can you spell "covfefe"?

Murraya: "Cov... what? Can you use the word in a coherent sentence, please?"

[KS Toronado]

29. Hardly knew Mike Pence, think he poured covfefe around here.

[Eliot Rosewater]

37. very good one

[uponit7771]

14. RIGHT ?! They act like they can't stand black women

[2Gingersnaps]

33. I swear they would be happier with the 1936 Olympics

if only that damn Jesse Owens hadn't thrown a wrench in the works for Hitler! The world's whiniest sore loser trash talking the world's winningest female soccer team ("purple hair" from the bald guy with a dead animal on his head and spray paint on his face). Simone Biles unable to perform at her peak, or even safely, steps back, her team shines, improve their score.......weak, unprofessional, loser. They must have had some peachy kiddie coaches teaching them sportsmanlike conduct.

[MustLoveBeagles]

2. So proud of her

[SheilaAnn]

3. Black women have dominated and I couldn't be happier or prouder. n/t

[a kennedy]

4. OMGAWD.....HOLY SHIT.....WHO IS THIS WOMAN???! I love her....🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇺🇸

[viva la]

7. She's amazing--

I have a furious desire to shove that photo on front of Charles "Bell Curve" Murray, and yell, "You say SHE has inferior genes!"

Murray is apparently still something of a idol for the self-described "right intellectuals". STILL wrong after all these years.

[MoonRiver]

9. +1000

[electric_blue68]

12. 😂 👍👍👍

ETA:
what a miserable human being -he- is.

[soldierant]

20. My theory is that it's similar to Republicans and government.

tHThey always clai government doesn't work, and when in power they do their best to make that true.

Racists say that people of color are in ferior - and they do everything they can to make that true. Lead in paint and water. Segregated schools which are starved for resources. Keeping them out of "nice" neighborhoods and "good" jobs. Charging higher prices, and higher iterest.llimiting their opportunities. When even remotely possible, arresting and killing or at the vary least bashing heads in Filling up prisons with them on the flimsiest pretexts. And on and on.

If they really believe people of color are inferior, why to they keep working so hard to prove it?

I was just looking at a video on Now This News - this one, in fact -

Compared to the creativity and initiative people of color have to offer us - what do we have to offer them?

[lonely bird]

32. Ah, yes, the bell curve

A simplistic idea for every problem. Much like the Laffer curve.

[Blue_true]

11. She was outstanding at Track at the college level, the best 200m

runner in the country. Her Mom is a Physician, which likely explains her interest in Medicine.

[2Gingersnaps]

34. That smile is as radiant as the sun!

[SharonClark]

5. Makes me feel lazy and unaccomplished.

[3catwoman3]

19. The Olympics always makes me feel...

...like I haven't done much with my life.

It also always makes me wistful for how much the world could accomplish if countries/people could work together with the same common purpose we see during the Games.

[mcar]

6. What an accomplished woman

I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

[onetexan]

17. In deed, beauty, braun & brains

Very talented & so accomplished.

[electric_blue68]

13. May you have an even brighter future Ms Gabby T 👏🏆

[eppur_se_muova]

15. Tom Lehrer: "It's people like that who make you realize how little you've accompished ..."

"... It is a sobering thought, for example, that by the time Mozart was my age, he had been dead for two years."

[calimary]

16. Modern Goddess.

If that photo doesn’t pick up your mood, I can’t imagine what would.

Absolutely Exultant!!!

[iluvtennis]

18. Kick. n/t

[Collimator]

21. Smart, Strong, Disciplined

And pursuing a field of study that serves others. What a remarkable person. . . Sure, she's attractive as well. As the Spartans knew in their day, strength is beautiful.

[TheBlackAdder]

23. Epidemiology in Texas -- Talk about studying in a literal petri dish.

[Hulk]

24. American citizens like this young woman are what make me proud to be an American.

I love this lady...and I love all the men and women who give their best, and work their hardest to make America proud. We may suck as a society with so many inbred, racist, hating dimwits...but we have these diamonds to take pride in. Thank God for that!

[Marcuse]

25. And Abbott wants her to wait in a long slow line, trying to suppress her vote.

Is her medal an acceptable voter ID?

[monkeyman1]

26. having a conversation with ABBOTT, is like talking to a house plant !!

[tecelote]

28. A real-life Superhero!

[Lonestarblue]

30. Dear Trumpers: Tell me again why you think the white race is superior.

What an amazing young woman!

[LymphocyteLover]

31. also incredibly beautiful

[Tadpole Raisin]

35. What a great role model!

And presses all the WW buttons at the same time. I’m sure they are apoplectic at the thought of this wonderful young woman excelling.

Congratulations to her!

[calimary]

38. I guess you could VERY fairly title this "Brains and Bronze!"

[marble falls]

39. Omigod, yet another sterotype buster. Imagine that!

[CousinIT]

40. AMAZING woman.
