It was just 115 degrees in Portland, a condominium tower in south Florida crumbled to the ground (with residents in it), and the fastest woman in the country, Sha'Carri Richardson, can't run in the Olympics because she got high in Oregon.
It's not even against the law to smoke pot in Oregon. Unless your sport is snacking on the couch, it's not a performance enhancer, either.
Shockingly, the fastest woman in the country is clearly not Scandinavian, but people who might be are doing their best to corroborate Richard Pryor's take on "the way white people talk":
So, William, how many miles to the gallon do you get with the Cutlass?
And by the way, regarding Sha'Carri Richardson, marijuana is a gateway drug, the rules apply to everyone, and she's a poor role model for the youth of America. We do not need such people representing our country in the Olympics!
I think a lot of white people don't like a black person excelling, especially if she seems to be enjoying herself. A wingnut on Twitter, unintentionally acknowledging that Richardson's known offense is trivial, pointed to her dyed orange hair and her long brightly colored nails before observing that "strong nails & hair can be a side effect of steroid use." She must be guilty of something we can agree is bad! Someone replied:
Olympics where all the athletes are bald and have weak nails. Only way to be sure.
Land of the pilgrims' pride! Happy Fourth!
