PonyTail: Young Lady Does an AWESOME Poetric Tribute to Gabby Douglas

This young Sister's poetic tribute is an outrageous and justifiable response to the crazy controversy over Gabby Douglas’ hair.

A few idiots on Twitter and in hair salons around the country were making remarks about the quality of Gabby’s hair, even as she made history as the first African American to ever win the all-around competition in gymnastics at the Olympics.  Gabby is a two-time gold medalist, yet there are some negroes who are so ignorant that they think she’d have been better off spending her training time at the hair salon.

Check this poem out below.  We promise you’ll be jumping out of your seat by the time it’s over.

As her video has gone viral, Jasmine finally sent out this note to the public (below).  To be so bold and beautiful in her poem about Gabby, she presents herself in a very down-to-earth manner.  An amazing black woman indeed.

Hello world! First of all I would like to say thank you all for your nice comments, love and support. I truly appreciate each and every one of you! Your words of encouragement put a constant smile on my face throughout the day. So thank you!
