Faheem Abdullah says:

she told the world she learned these things in the backyard of her home in Columbus Ohio the so-called ghetto and bought it before the world and is the best at it maybe we should look in those areas for a future gymnast to represent us Great America American is plenty of raw talent there

Aaaand of course people are going to say it's because she's black. Smh as a black woman, I disagree. Call me whitewashed or a coon all you want. Her skin color is not the reason she's successful. It's the black people like the ones claiming "race is the reason" that are usually the most racist.

M Peachy says:

Why give away the secret??
