Bristol — Mon, 06 Aug 2012 17:00:15 +0000

I don't even know what to say. I guess it's too much to ask for a little sensitivity any more. Gabby Douglas made history as the first African-American female gymnast to win individual Olympic gold in the Women's All-Around Gymnastics competition. Granted, the video was titled 'racist,' so my mind immediately went there.

Check out the video and let us know: Is it racist or just poorly timed?
