Flanagan talking trash about Kenyans

For being straight off the high-plains, you have a pretty good grasp of the English language.

Yet another reason he's superior to the pasty, fat, lumbering, bile-spewing mzungus.

No more glass ceiling for us.

Liar! You do not have one IOTA of proof we are cheating. You are just very jealous because you cannot beat us. We train harder than the Yankees (and washed up Brits in your case). If you can never beat us, then accuse us of cheating. If that is all you have then you lose again because we are clean athletes. You should lose weight, train harder, eat better. When we win $20,000 it makes our life better. When you win $20,000, you still have to work. When we grow up, we do not have distractions of fat food and video games. We do not have distractions of football, basketball, bike riding, soccer sport, swimming. We have more incentive and more focus. So you don't have to like us, but you are making up stories if you say we cheat or use drugs. You are a liar!

You're no Kenyan. Lol. What a bunch of candy assed bull.

I am a Kenyan fast runner and I have the best English for Kenya. You don't like black people taking your money, so you should go out and train harder not spend time on the internet crying Kenyan runners do drugs and cheat you. You cheat yourself by being fat, no motivation, you don't like to suffer, you don't know what it is to sacrifice to train and be the best runner you can.

Some lawyer up here says five year VISAs from Kenya, this is 100% untruth that is is only for students. I don't have work VISA so they only let us stay three months because Kenya does not want us to defect to USA or another country.

I am a good runner but not quite professional anymore. I was good awhile ago and am taking last chance at getting money so I can have a bigger savings in Kenya. But I can still beat the wet chicken smelly mzungus.

And no trollism name but he thinks some Flagpole cares if he is a real man. Is this his American boyfriend? Is this your mind problem? Do mzungu men runners like mzungu men runners more than women? Something is wrong with mzungus. I'm here to take your moneys and go home.

Kenyan Fast runner has a point.Even if the playing fields were levelled and drugs were allowed East Africans would still win.Sometimes its not always about the drugs try culture,desire,hunger,attitude and belief.You got to whip em at their game and it can be done,ask the big mazungu Mr Craig Mottram the THREAT Mazungu he give you all some tips.

Is Shalane Jewish? Just curious.

Wha? Why?

I'd just like to summarize what you've graciously put forward for us:

- Mzungus (white men) are homosexuals.

- Mzungus have a foul body odour.

- Mzungus have faulty brains.

- Taking mzungus money from them is a legitimate act.

- Mzungus are racist.

Is there anything you would like to add?

Anything

Wow. I haven't been on letsrun all week, and haven't seen this thread since I started it. I was just trying to stir the pot a bit. Didn't know people would be having a panic attack over here.

So fine, I don't really think that Shalane was trash-talking. That was just more exciting for a title than "Flanagan oversensitive to not being on the radar of superior athletes."

Honestly, what does she expect the Kenyans to say??

Interviewer: Do you see yourself as the favorite for gold?

Kenyan: I think my chances are strong. The Ethiopians and Russians are very strong as well. As are some of the Japanese, Ukrainians, and potentially one from the UK. And, oh yes, some American women are within seven minutes of my PR, so I should bow down and give a shout-out to SHALANE FLANAGAN AND KARA GOUCHER. I know they don't get enough attention for their slow times already.

Honestly, guys, should Kipsang tip his hat to 2:10 marathoners in interviews? That is what we are talking about. As I said in the OP, only because the women's marathon has no depth are women so far off the pace even discussed.

8/10 for consistency and entertainment value. Also, I love, "I'm here to take your moneys and go home." lol

I am an Ethiopian fast runner and I have the best English for Ethiopia. You don't like black people taking your money, so you should go out and train harder not spend time on the internet crying Ethiopian runners do drugs and cheat you. You cheat yourself by being fat, no motivation, you don't like to suffer, you don't know what it is to sacrifice to train and be the best runner you can.

You are not making my truth! I think trollism is maybe homosexual with Flagpole--not most mzungus.Mzungus do have bad smelly.Mzungus are smart people but too many attentions away from running and they do not have discipline to train hard and eat right. Too many toys not enough trainings.I beat them in race I get their money this is correct.Mzungus are racist I see it all over this messages board. Too many mzungus hate black people, American black, Kenyan black, Ethiopian black, it does not matter a lot of mzungus hate them just read these messages on the board if you don't believe me!!There is nothing I like to add. I am sorry I got so mad. Kenyans are not cheaters you are wrong to call us cheaters this is why I get mad. OK I will go train now.

Funny stuff.

It seems she does have a point:

2010 NYC Marathon results:

1. Edna Kiplagat, Kenya, 2:28:20.

2. Shalane Flanagan, Portland, Ore., 2:28:40.

3. Mary Keitany, Kenya, 2:29:01.

Hi, Kenyan fast runner!

While you were training I scoured the message boards looking for evidence that mzungus hate black people. As you can well imagine, I was shocked, positively shocked, to hear that in today's day and age, racial discrimination and profiling continue to hold common currency. While athletes are a jingoistic bunch in general, team-conscious and ritualistically competitive, I thought (very naive of me, I admit) that the crushing majority of them didn't delimit their teams across racial lines.

But then I read the messages on the board. And my jaw literally dropped. What can I say, Kenyan fast runner? You were right! On more than one occasion, message board posters affirmed that only people sharing their nationality and ethnicity were above corruption, genetically predisposed toward excellence, and religiously pious enough as to be incapable of cheating.

Of course, a message board is an anonymous medium, just one of the (many) failings of the internet, so we can't know for sure wether or not the posters were mzungus or not.

But I'm sure we can all agree, can we not, that only smelly homosexual mzungus would be capable of such blatant racism?

And I am offended you call my countrymen cheats without proof. You need your evidence not your green jealous, trollism. You need to train more and eat less. Other message say Flagpole is married man with children so maybe you want him but he no wants men. So you want man who likes men. This is your big frustration problem, you are confused so how could you know if some athlete is cheating when you don't know the difference between men and women? Children learn this when they are 3-4 years old did you not learn this as a child? Did a black man reject you, is this why you hate black people?Enough about cheating. I think I know why Americans are slow. I was eating your American chicken food, they call it finger licking good and also had my first soda. It taste good for two bites or two sips but it is too salty or sweet. After eating Kentucky Fried chicken my mouth now tastes like it is coated with a jacket of wax and goat butter. It is stuck on the roof of my mouth, on my teeth, my tongue. I can't get rid of this sticky wax! Why do mzungus eat greasy wax and salt for their runnings? The soda made my mouth pass gas! Now my stomach hurts.Is this how you eat to train in America?? You mzungus spend too much time digesting salt, fat, sugar, it's bad diet for Kenyan fast runners. Is this how you try to make us lose races, by feeding us bad food? I need some ugali, crunchy chicken made me sick not full.
