I think it's more about diamonds !!ing up an entire continent than about "a black thing" or a culture thing [pic]

Seems kinda insensitive [pic]

Thats not right, once you earned the gold medal they cant take it from you, unless you cheat of course. Just like it was a popular belief that Tommie Smith lost his medals after raising his fist on the podium which he didn't. Dude might have gotten in trouble but he still would've got his medal.

This is isn't the first time he rocked a grill while accepting an Olympic medal:

white boy does it, its cute and groundbreaking, new !

Lighten up bruh. You have to admit that it's funny. If a black dude rocked a grill during the Olympic games it would be a cliché... We've already seen it (music videos, magazines, etc), you know? But this dude is white, "clean cut" (whatever that means), has no affiliation with the hip hop culture, probably grow up in the burbs and he pulls a stunt like this????? That's pretty funny.

What do you mean by having no affiliation with hip hop culture? He listens to the music and that's why he wears the grill. His favorite rapper is Young Jeezy [pic]

i think maybe they were just afraid the pool water would rust his grill. then he'd get sick and wouldnt be able to race anymore [pic]

I know he and Michael Phelps listen to Young Jeezy. What I'm trying to say is that he is not a rapper, DJ, ...etc How many people do know that are not in the industry, rock grills on stage or where ever?

Amazing how some folks get to play on both sides of the fence [pic]

Shame that I can't stop being a "nicca" when it's most convenient [pic]

because you know how he's gonna feel in 10 years... [pic]

they pulled some stupid !!.. maybe the grill is in bad taste, but to not give him gold for wearing that on the podium? Yeah, that's bull!!.. he shoulda called their bluff too...

Are you serious ?? there's plenty of regular dudes in the hood who have grills, damn near every city or large town you go to you can find a grill shop.

you must've grew up in an all white suburb.
