- A woman named Alaysha Johnson just made it to the Olympics, and she took her post-race interview as an opportunity to say that she did this for "everybody that looks like me." The only people in Olympic running who might not think they can make it are the people who don't look like her.

Black woman here saying this is tiring. Please stop attributing blackness to being weaker/disabled
Yes it’s very self degrading and absolutely unnecessary. It doesn’t do anything for People in general and does black people a disservice and again people in general no good. This woke crap is an advertisement and very weakly sold but as long as there are people that get indoctrinated such as this young woman there will be people who buy it. And it’s absolutely atrocious.
No one takes this crap seriously anymore. It's a JOKE! A shameful and disgusting ray cyst joke!
Its what they are told. By media. By their parents. By their Liberal professors. By virtue signaling people online. And as the saying goes, if you keep repeating a lie loud enough, and over and over eventually the people of the world will accept it as truth. And some come to believe it, but others see it as a "golden ticket" for victim points. This creates a problem, as some end up in positions they have no business being in because of those victim points....Then they make others look bad due to their being unqualified people making a mess, and the lie becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
But it's funny 😂
Hey what happened to my comment?
The first black Olympian everyone. 👏 🤣
She's only the first black Olympian that medaled in running. They've been medaling in curling and swimming.
😂😂😂😂😂
@@seymourfields3613 Didn't Michael just say the complete opposite? I'm confused. 2:38

This girl has a victim mentality instead of a Champion mentality.
It drives some people. Obv it has driven her.
@@a2knyc Driven her to self obsession and Narcissism.
@@a2knyc cant wait to hear what she says when she loses Blacks always have an excuse
She gets away with a victim mentality in sports because she's a talented athlete. What will she do when she's faced with a challenge in an area she's not talented in. Unless she changes her ways, everything will be someone else's fault & that will weaken her in the game of life.
@@chrisbracken7889 she may talk like she’s a victim but I don’t think you realize what it takes to make team USA. The competition is out of control. She does not live her life like a victim.
Cut it out lady, everyone looks like you in women's sprinting. 😂😂
8 of the 9 women in the finals looked like her. And the one that didn't, finished last.
But how about ur sons burger challenge
@@PhatallyFlawless What about it? He crushed it.
Yes, Michael listed quite a number of successful black runners, male and female.
@@nathanwilliams4005 he did! Lol
Surely she won because her eyelashes reached the finish line three feet ahead of anyone else.
😂😂😂
That's what she meant by people who look like her! People with long eyelashes never get a shot at running.
@@aaronstclair2423 it's cheating with long lashes😅
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😭😭🤣🤣🤣
Wait until she learns, that even in Nazi Germany Olympics, a black runner won Gold.
It’s sad no one has told her!
It's admirable to want to believe that it is capable of learning.
However the Nazi's gave Jesse Owen's some really really mean looks.
@@stephenpmurphy591 The Nazis gave everyone mean looks that wasn't German. Owens recalled the Germans actually treating him better, than the President.
I'd be more impressed if she was an olympic swimmer...

Jeez why can't black people just do well and be quiet. Stop trying to be victims. Embarrassing us
Lesson straight from the ✡️ handbook
@@RJD421yeah because blatt peepo stay reading, sure ma’am 😐
@@RJD421 When you're attacked in your homes and slaughtered, you are a victim.
Listen to the interviews after the women's 400 meter hurdles. She isn't like most. Only Nikki Hiltz, after the 1500 in the full interview, really went woke, saying she's privileged cause she's white (as if that's a privilege in track). Most in track thank God for their natural talent and for giving them the challenge. And they are proud to represent the USA.
Facts
It's like a young black NBA player saying, "I paved the way for black people in basketball." lol
Yeah she may need to go into being in another sport like lacrosse bobsledding and skiiing if she wants to pave the way. Track and field is a black dominated sport so that’s crazy she said that.
Wokeness has broken her brain.
Do people really believe that state asylums across western nations shut down in the late 50s, followed by the rise of Liberalism in the 60s was a coincidence?
I think its the weed..
We're raising a generation of narcissists.
Not at all. She is the outlier. I was shocked when I heard this. It's so different from the way USA track athletes speak, no matter their race.
think you meant Racists
@@faaa.6911- Those too.
Oh my goodness, yes!! I DO NOT watch competitions anymore. I can't take these people.
Two generations of them have already been raised. They're mere prototypes, however, compared to the generation coming up.

It's embarrassing that she doesn't know about Jesse Owens.

When did the Olympics start again?
@@briz1965 1896. What's your point? Or are you talking about 770 b.c.?

Ahahahahahahaha 😆
Finally.
Right. Gosh, if only they had been dominating in most sports prior to her. What a shame and how fortunate the world is now.
Paving the way for everybody that looks like you? You mean women like Florence Griffith Joyner? Jackie Joyner Kersey? ShaDari Richardson?
Thank you! I came to the comments to make sure someone mentioned the great Flo Jo and Jackie.
Thank you, she's didn't nothing revolutionary at all, just won a gold medal, congratulations that's it.
Indeed. Tell this self-embarrassing woman to shut up until she beats Flo-Jo's records.
Don't forget the sublime Wilma Rudolph. I watched her on TV in 1960 when I was a kid and I was blown away by her.
I refuse to believe someone named a child ShaDari.
I'd be happy to see more black women runners speaking out against trans women entering their sport.
When trying to MLK goes wrong.
That man was a commie reading speeches written by other commies. Its been wrong from day one! If people knew what the FBI was hiding about that guy, this country would have probably gone in a VERY different direction and been safer and much better off economically.
The 60s were an unmitigated disaster for western civilization. And anyone can see it, but they shut their eyes tight and try to pretend it all worked out.
I wonder....Were people thankful for MLK in Wakasha the other Christmas while their children were run down? Did they know that's happened several times, but didnt get past the media gatekeepers till that one?
I can almost guarantee no one ever told her, "You aren't good enough".
It was all in her head
probably did but not because of her skin color
I mean there are probably like 5-10 people capable of winning that race so plenty of people are going to be skeptical. Most people’s self belief is wrong or delusional if they’re super ambitious, which qualifying for the Olympics is, so you’d be likely right to doubt a person could it. If anybody else thought they were going to be as good as Michael Jordan, they’d be wrong. If Michael Jordan thought he was going to be as good as Michael Jordan, he’d be right. Not that everyone doubted her, but some doubting her would have an impact on any sane person because she’s striving for something very rare an improbable is grand scheme
Maybe, learn better English, don’t have a baybay at 14, don’t steal, but definitely not you can’t run fast
And you know this how?
No more Antiwhiteism. No White Guilt. Trump 2024! 🇺🇸
Yeah but realistically trump can’t do anything about this. Some
people will always try to be victims if it suits their agenda.
“White fragility” springs to mind when I read dumb shit like this. Read the book and realize you’re doing exactly what your enemy wants you to do. It’s free on TH-cam as an audio book, if you have any sort of prudence for the war we’re fighting, you’ll look into it.

more OFWG'S in the WNBA too!! i CAN make a lay up.
What the hell is she talking about. She just dismissed all the people that came before her.
She mentioned the hood. She may have meant poor, Black people. Not sure.

Sounds disproportionate. We probably need more diversity.
Where are the Asians😂😂😂
@@arielmarbury467 Wow, that is word for word exactly what I came here to post.😂🤣
I'm sure they don't mind meritocracy in these races.
We will never have that cuz black people genetics are naturally made for running, whjte genes who have a bit of neanderthal in them dominate in strenght, that's why you will never see a black strongman even jn top 20 or more
There is more black track and field athletes than any other Olympic sport. Paving the way was incorrect on her part. 🤪
The current state of education is such that not even she knows who Jesse Owens is.
Pathetic.
I don't really know anything about Jesse either, but that's just because I'm not that impressed with people who can run fast. It does nothing for me.

Oh lawd I be havin dreams n shiii - 👱🏿♀️
MLK but a woke, non-Christian version without morals
Do not stereotype us and say “they all think like that.” I’m black and I know her comment contained the misconceptions of youth.
The one Italian guy who won the gold medal in the 100-meter sprint has a biological black American father and an Italian mother. The father was stationed in Italy while serving in the military.
He did seem to miss some people, like Valery Borzov, who I think won the 100 and 200 at the Olympics in 1972. He also missed Pietro Mennea, who won gold in the 200 in the 1980 Olympics and also I think had the WR for 20 years. If he went back 10 Olympics, he wouldn't get Borzov, but he would get Mennea. But maybe his 9/10 thing was just a fraction representing the percentage of non-black runners who got that medal. Probably the biggest outliers in terms of performance are the Soviet and Eastern Bloc athletes. Today, these countries don't produce shit when it comes to sprinters, but probably because of insane doping programs, they were fairly competitive in men's sprinting and in some of the women's sprints (I think 400 and 800, don't quote me though) they have world records that have lasted for like 40 years now, which indicates that they were almost certainly doping, since those feats have not been surpassed today.
If he was to go back 11 games and 44 years he would have found the last white man to win the 100m. Alan Wells of the UK. However, even he has the caveat that the US and others had pulled out of the 1980 Moscow Olympics due to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan so he didn’t run against the very best in the world. Micheal’s point still stands off course.
@@robcurley2585 Yeah forgot about him. Mennea also won in 80 with 20.19. I assume that was good enough to win in a normal year, though I don't know, just going off of his 79 WR, which would be a competitive time today. I agree with his point of course. What she said was absurd.
@@robcurley2585Wells did beat the Americans who would have represented the USA in a race right after the Olympics though to back up the legitimacy of his win.
The dead tarantulas on her eyelids gave her wings, to fly for the win!
She was acting like she is some kind of trailblazer when black women have been doing what she did for a long time. Reminded me of when Jennifer Lawrence claimed to be the first female action star. No self awareness in both cases. Let your accomplishments as an athlete speak for themselves instead of looking like a narcissist.
My god, im black and this is so cringe worthy.
Same. Thank you. We have GOT to stop this nonsense. I am sooooo damn sick of the bigotry of low expectations. Like yeah there are some straight up racist people in the Republican party, but at least I know who they are, right? Cause they are clear about it AND it is a main message of conservatives as a whole. But ffs on the woke left, pretty much their ENTIRE perspective is racist af. Constantly telling blk folk that we are victims and that we need the world to dumb itself down for us and that we need all these standards lowered. And the constant focus on how we are different, but want to be treated the same as everyone else is also weird to me. Like naw, I'm AMERICAN. I am untied with every other American, doesn't matter what skin color they got. I don't need to keep separating myself into the "black community". Now I'm ranting off topic lol, but yeah it's good to see lots of other blk peepo waking up the woke nonsense.
Yeah she made it seemed like every black person comes from the “hood”.
No ONE has told this girl that she can't do things. Give me a break. They are given all sorts of boosts up. If she TRULY was being told her whole life that she could not accomplish this goal, she would not have accomplished it. She would have manifested the horrible things that people said.
How do you know her whole life experience?
By definition, if you qualify for the meet, you are being told you might be able to do it.
@@user-tv7su1ck1f. You don’t compete at that level unless you can train full time and have excellent coaches. Everyone around her has supported and encouraged her, and still is, or else she would have to be working to support herself, and there are NO part time athletes at that level.
@@sorbabaric1 correct!
I am more impressed with the actual mathematician black ladies working for NASA to allow John glen to make it into orbit and land again within more decimal places on the coordinates than what the ibm computer could do!
👍👏👏yep
Yes … that does not get talked about enough 💯👍🏻
Just goes to show, if you are good at something, you will be successful, no matter who you are. The world loves a champion, of any color.

@@faaa.6911exactly..
AOC, Camilla, Joe, her Mother
The sad part is that she started talking about doing it for the people who grew up in poverty, etc, which is a very inspiring story, and then had to switch it to something so blatantly false.
But that's what she was referring to. People who look "hood" or "ghetto" like her. Not black.
My exact same thoughts!! At first I was like "yes!! Okay! Great inspirational message to others that come from rough circumstances!" But then she pivoted real quick to the race shyt and I clocked out.
@SquirtlePower809 she never mentioned her race. She said people who look like her. You guys assume she is talking about being black, but she's talking about looking "hood" or "ghetto" compared to being a pretty face. She never said anything about race.
Wow... first black track and field runner... hmmm, pioneer...
They are obsessed with skin. 😕
She is, do not generalise me into the category please. It drives me crazy, women like her say stupid things like this,im black and the victimhood mentality is ridiculous .

Michael already did. So did history.
There were several black runners in the race she just won before that speech.
Yes, like Michael said.
there was 1 white runner.
Lol and i bet nobody said she wasn't good enough or couldnt do it. Im so sick of the majority of my people crying about race all the time. Since i graduated in 2007 everything has become about race its so damn annoying.
For real lmfao, they've been nothing but encouraged as long as I can remember, and I've got 6 years on you.

She thinks she’s Jesse Owens. 😂
she's more like Jesse Jacksonn
to be fair, she did say "hood babies" implying that she came from nothing, not necessarily that shes black.
Thank you, I caught that too
I missed exactly what she said, but did note that she started off by mentioning coming from nothing. I don't know the background of other Olympic track athletes, but I assume others have come from a rough upbringing.
I could almost guarantee that she doesn't consider white people to be "hood babies" regardless of where they're from.
What if you came from something, like Jessie Owens? What is she talking about? It is physical ability. Ug.
@@joyfuljaj yeah, track has a pretty low bar for entry - like in terms of cost/access. Its not like horse back riding or skiing.
Funny If she had known the history of the sport maybe she would not have had the motivation to "be the first"!

Well, there was Flo Jo, but she was an Olympian before Alaysha was born, so she doesn't count.
And there was Alice Coachman, who won HER gold medal before FloJo was born.
For people who look like me everybody there looked like you , and have for years …so ya …. Shouldn’t be the running Olympics should be the victim Olympics. 💯
Good for you didn’t break any barriers. You are just making this ALL ABOUT YOU!! Sorry it is NOT!
She was not saying that it's because she's just black, she's it's saying because she's black and hood and ghetto and achieved success without doing things the way others told her to do it. She's making the distinction between herself and others who accepted being beaten down by the traditional track world and it's standard ways of going about things. She's basically pushing Critical [Foot] Race Theory.
This is why I don't care about the Olympics anymore. And this is why I don't root for Americans to win.
Woah now. Chill bruh. No need to throw the baby out with the bathwater (or whatever that stupid saying is lol). There are still TONS of amazing, very patriotic Americans fighting for us in the Olympics. I absolutely watch and with great pride as they step up to show the world the power of the USA 🇺🇸.
Just as an example for you- we recently selected our men's and women's gymnastics teams and DAMN it was so beautiful. It felt like the glory days of 1984, With flags everywhere in the audience, red white and blue confetti falling all over the stadium, a HUGE flag behind the athletes as they hugged and celebrated on the podium wearing these USA tracksuits and as each athlete briefly spoke to the crowd nearly all of them first thanked and celebrated GOD (that was refreshing to see) and also gave praise to USA and by the end the whole stadium was chanting USA USA! It was dope! So, just cause we have some woke athletes here and there, don't think that they are all like that. Cause the VAST majority are VERY patriotic and are so honored to have the privilege of repping the RED WHITE AND BLUE on the world stage!
Black people already run in the Olympics though
No, she’s definitely the first ever in history.😂
@@northernlights8126😂😂😂😂

Censorship is so annoying. I thought at first that he was talking about coke, heard tracks and thought it was another narcotic.
It’s ridiculous. Adults are treated like 5 yr olds by TH-cam
I don't understand what is going on with her eyelashes. They look like false lashes, but surely you wouldn't compete in a sport wearing falsies?
Find an American black female at that level in a sprint-heavy sport that does NOT wear false eyelashes. You're an outlier today if you don't do it.
Angel Reese would if she thought it "cool".
LOL Yeah I saw this somewhere earlier and even without commentary, I looked at her opponents and laughed.
This delusional outlook is an infection.
Who else looks at 1/4 and semi finals of Olympic 100 metre events to see if you can spot the one white guy?
Who looks at the olympics🤷???
People shouldn't put so much stook in their race, their culture, yes, but not their race. At least I believe that.
Their culture is why she's putting so much stock in her race.
We don't want her representing America. So sick of the victim card.
Saying all that while culturally appropriating a straight hair pony tail 😂
Black people running? What will they think of next?
oh !!!! the amount of jokes you set up!!!! never mind!!! to easy.
Hey, I think it's fair to say she means black AND poor. She means growing up not having shit, thinking you'll never be shit. The message here is that you can succeed coming from nothing.
I know you don’t know the sport, but she is an unsponsored athlete. Multiple brands literally have told her she’s not good enough and she’s proved them wrong
Maybe if it was Lizzo saying it for doing the exact same thing it would be paving a way for people who look like her that were definitely doubted.
😂😂I’d pay to see that

Congratulations to this woman who is the first black woman to EVER do this! Amazing 👏
Im glad that there can now be black women allowed to participate due to her contributions. Its never happened before her. Ever. No jamaican or kenyan or black american woman sprinter has ever been in the olympics. Ever.

They are some of the angriest sonsabitches I have ever met. My mom is one....
You've got talent, keep showcasing it
Unhinged.
Literally everyone else in every lane DOES look like her.
You’re reaching, Michael. She’s clearly elated at making her FIRST olympic team. It’s a big deal - the pinnacle of our sport. The US olympic team is the hardest team to make in the world, especially in sprints - that was the word you were looking for, not “100m running.” She said nothing to disparage white people or imply white people’s accomplishments are worth nothing. The mental gymnastics it took for you to land at that conclusion is truly olympic-level. Victim mentality exists; your deeply offended clutching-your-pearls reaction to this young woman’s post race interview makes that evident. It’s clear you are unfamiliar with this sport and aren’t a fan. I suggest you stay in your lane.
I believe what she said was a bit cherry picked here. She didn't just talk about being black, she talked about coming out of the "hood" as well. Traditionally, there may be a lot of black sprinters but that doesn't take away from the hard work it would take to compete at certain levels especially given ones circumstance.
I think her overall sentiment is that you can come from a difficult circumstance and still make it and she serves as an example or testament to that.
Then she shouldn’t have said people that look like me.
BS
Why not? This again just points to the fact that it's important for people to make a practice of actually listening and not cherry picking to suite whatever narrative. The media has brain washed people so they can't hear nuisances without a bunch of qualifiers.
To be fair, you only pointed out that she mentioned people that looked like her but what she said is people in her position.
you mean poor people??? that's about 70% of the public nowaday's. and we DON'T have time to run.
You can do anything regardless of the way you look
I'm usually on your side, Michael Knowles. But on this one you crossed the line. You didn't give her any room or show any empathy. She's an emotional athlete that just realized their dream of making it to the Olympics. It is true that Alaysha Johnson said a few things out of emotion. And she was a little over the top. But she wasn't intentionally trying to make a political statement about race like you think she was. She simply got caught up with the emotion of the moment. You need to show a little bit of empathy, be happy that she made the Olympic Team, and let this one go. This is clearly not a battle that you should have jumped on, my friend!
