I did see the first interview. She sounded black. Like unfiltered, straight from the hood, in your face don’t-push-me-around-coz-Imma-tough-bi$%^ black. What she actually said, if you could see past the blackness and poverty in her twang, was roughly “coming out here was great today… i’ve been dealing with stuff… this is just one race… count me out if you want to.. talk all the sh$^ you want to… i’m here to stay… i’m not done… i’m still the sixth fastest ever… congratulations to the winners”.
The words are hardly unlike other athletes showing gutsy bravado. She’s not a role model? Sure, what you mean is you don’t want your daughters sounding like “that” and you know what “that” is. She didn’t cuss (“talk sh$^” is hardly cussing and your hero Centro and most everyone uses it all the time), didn’t call anyone names, didn’t offend any group of people, didn’t offer lame excuses, and did congratulate the winners.
If you still don’t know what “that “ is, let me tell you: you don’t like how a black girl who grew up poor and is a lez princess sounds naturally in her skin. That is fine, you don’t have to like that or want that for girls in your family, but that’s not “trash”, not the words she said at least. As for the new money criticism, come on, she expresses her personality with makeup, nails, and hair none of which cost much money. She’s a very young girl and a princessy lez one at that. As for her talk, that is how she talked before money.
If this same words were said in an upper-middle-classy Stuyvesant-going kid accent, you would be lapping it up. She came back in the second interview and said similar things, just not sounding as black and you all approved coz you want her to conform, why else? FWIW, the second interview was actually the “new money” talking.
PS: She did pot before her Olympics, which was dumb indeed, but that is past, a mistake she apologized for, and does not deserve to be pulled out all over again like new hate ammo every time she underperforms.
Sorry, but "SH*T" is generally considered a cuss word and to be vulgar slang.
The fact that you spelled it "sh$^" confirms that you know this, otherwise you would have just spelled it out.
This word is generally considered to be unacceptable speech and offensive, and thus was bleeped out by NBC (at least in the online video of the interview I saw).
Most people do not use this word all the time, especially when being interviewed as part of a national network TV broadcast.
I cannot think of any other runners that have used this word when being interviewed on TV.
If Centro or any other runner used this word on a TV interview it would not be considered acceptable,
I am not positive, but I am fairly certain that if SCR spoke that word in a formal interview at LSU, especially one that was being broadcast out to the public, that it would be frowned upon and certainly bleeped out. The same would happen in grade school, in local media, etc. Use of that word would be considered unacceptable as part of any semi formal or official form of communication.
I am not sure, but I bet that her not-biological mother (who she hugged in the stands after winning the trials) would not be proud of her using that word in a TV interview.
Maybe SCR regularly uses that word as part of her daily conversations. Thats ok, but I believe she should know that there are many times and places where use of that word is not acceptable
Maybe she is just being her real self in using that word, Maybe for her use of that word is just as real as her hair and color, her nails, and her makeup.
Thats ok she can do what she wants,. But she has to realize (or someone on her team should help her realize) that using vulgar language is going to be a turn off for the majority of people. Or maybe she does not care or that is part of her plan.
