This kind of social media stuff isn't new with her. There was already a fuss over old tweets people thought were homophobic-

I think she just likes the attention.

Agreed. This is post Olympics. She'd probably planned on having a Wheaties moment. She's creating her own.

What the hell is "Black Twitter?" Is that an actual thing or just referring to black people who posted about this on Twitter?

It’s just Twitter in a black theme instead of the usual blue; the logo bird is a shiny black crow instead of the pudgy sparrow-like avian; and everyone crows insufferably instead of tweeting inanely.

Look who's dissing now wrote:

Found the Kimmel show clip (actually Stephen A. Smith subbing, I guess). Felix is poised and nice like always. I don't see what Richardson could have taken offense at-

Felix said nothing wrong. However she is also very bland, smiley, uncontroversial, agreeable and saying the right things. In that respect I'd agree that she is "as real as nothing".

Richardson has blue hair, nose rings, smokes dope. She's a counter-culture modern woman who thinks she's expressing herself with all that. (Big reveal - having blue hair and nose rings doesn't make you authentic, it just means you aren't willing to be conventional and kowtow).

Let's see what Richardson is like in twenty years.

They might be polar opposites in terms of personalities but what do both have in common? That shameless victimhood entitlement in order to promote themselves and their agendas.

Big picture, Felix has earned more money in a career of running around an rubber oval than 95% of Americans will make in a lifetime. What's the ultimate contribution to mankind? Let's be honest - the reality is it's minimal. Richardson probably makes in a year the equivalent of the average household income of this nation for the next decade - again to do what? - run up and down a slab of rubber.

Both of them could just be happy and thankful for the luxuries in life their athletic gifts (or chemical gifts) have afforded them - but there is always something out there to be the victim of.

She’s like Trump, not politically, but in that she knows that grabbing most any attention, including non-positive attention by saying tacky, hyper, or provocative things, has money value that she’s happily milking while the limelight lasts.

I just can’t care for that type of attention seeking personality, but am happy to ignore that, and would rather be amazed by her running performance if she actually delivers on the collective hope of being the next big thing in American women’s sprinting.
