Nappy Headed Black Child

So I've had some time to think about this situation from all angles and I've formed an opinion.

THIS IS RACIST!!!

For those that don't know recently Caster Semenya beat the brakes off of her competitors in the recent 2009 IAAF in Berlin. Her performance was so dominant and such a vast improvement that people began to doubt her womanhood.

Red Flag Number 1. Why do the questions of her Womanhood only surface after she dominated the field.

Red Flag Number 2. Obviously for an individual to have suspicions about Caster Semenya not being a woman means that person has to look at her and make the judgment that her lack of femininity means that her womanhood is suspect.

This is racist because she is being judged by a European standard that a woman has to be feminine to be a woman. And it only really became and issue after she was so successful. If the IAAF really wanted to avoid situations like this gender verification would be required for everyone competing male or female.

In reading another blog on the same subject i found a quote by Cornell West

“White supremacist ideology is based first and foremost on the degradation of black bodies in order to control them. One of the best ways to instill fear in people is to terrorize them. Yet this fear is best sustained by convincing them that their bodies are ugly, their intellect is inherently underdeveloped, their culture is less civilized, and their future warrants less concern than that of other peoples.”
