    Yes, let us read slowly.

    "I am an American" I'm a member of the big team, yea team!

    "and when I won the 1000m in 2010 I became the first American to 2-peat in that event" I'm the best in the team, I'm better than anyone on the team! Yea me!

    "@TeamUSA dishonorably tossed a coin to decide its 2018 flag bearer." The team sucks!

    "No problem. I can wait until 2022." I don't need the team, I'm immortal!

    How about every month is history month? Color is optional.

    I get it, you're upset because blacks finally get some recognition after 150 yrs and you feel left out.
    Get over it.

    I agree; your butthurt over this is a direct result of your sense of entitlement toward never having to see anything you wish you did not have to see. Just think, if you could outrun him, he might not be there at all. But you can't do anything but outprick him, so you went with that.

    One professor of mine years ago said that every month is white history month.

    To listen to some people you would think the Civil War, the 13th Amendment, civil rights laws, school integration, societal integration, a black president,etc. never happened.

    It's still a "racist" flag to some knuckle draggers. These people make themselves irrelevant.

    I get it, you're upset that I keep shooting down your attempts to rationalize the situation and so now, just like Shani Davis, you have to play the race card to support your weak hand.

    Thanks for giving us a working example of the sore loser antics that the thread highlights.

    You ad hom because you cannot answer her honestly.

    Sorry, loser: the playing field is even, and you are not doing well at all.

    Comparing them apes may be speciest, but not racist. Even if accurately.

    To be fair all save the Sacagawea, S.B. Anthony, all US coins have old european white men as "heads" ... Now if Obama would oblige us, his image might soon grace US coinage.
