Not sure how we missed this story, but it’s one of the most idiotic things ever written. CNN writer/correspondent W. Kamau Bell, an outspoken black lives matter advocate, came out and wrote perhaps the dumbest thing article written on the Internet – Michael Phelps should not carry the American flag at the opening ceremonies because he’s white. Instead he should give it up to a female fencer named Muhammed because…..diversity:
Dear Michael Phelps,
Obviously, I am talking about what I hope will be your decision to decline the position as flag bearer in opening ceremonies of the Olympics in Rio De Janeiro on Friday. While you haven’t said this yet, I’m sure this is what you are going to do, because you are not only an Olympic hero, you are — by medal count — the Olympic hero. And yes, being asked to carry the flag is a big deal. I’m betting that even a star of your magnitude is still feeling the glow of being voted to carry the flag by your Olympic peers. But I know that you must know that there is a better choice to carry the flag — the athlete who came in second to you in the vote for flag bearer, fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad.
Muhammad carrying the flag would be nearly a one-stop inclusion shop. Muhammad is an African-American, hijab-wearing Muslim woman who is also a world class fencer. Those are all groups that could always use some more love, acceptance, and respect from this country. (And yes, I’m including fencers in this group.)
If (when) Muhammad carries the flag, that moment (and Muhammad herself) would grow into legend. We’re talking bigger than just the Olympics. Your stepping back will allow this moment to become something bigger than just another opening ceremony. No offense, but right now America has enough tall, successful, rich white guys hogging the spotlight trying to make America great … again.
This is yet another example of why no one takes black lives matter seriously. Because they’re led by idiots like Kamau Bell.
I can sum this entire article up in two sentences:
“You are the greatest Olympic athlete of our generation and you have been given the highest honor we have to bestow on an Olympic athlete. Now hand it over to the Muslim chick because Donald Trump makes me sad.”
Seriously, this has to be a joke right? First of all, the Muslim fencer sucks. She’s already eliminated and didn’t come close to medaling. Not even Top 10. Meanwhile Michael Phelps is a once in a generation athlete who is competing in his final Olympics and dominating like he’s never dominated before.
But then again, Michael Phelps is just another white guy. His accomplishments and iconic status don’t matter. The only thing that matters is his skin color, gender, and religion. That’s what the Olympics are really about – political correctness. Sorry but Ibtihaj Muhammad just deserves it more. Sure, if she had spent more time focusing on fencing and less time shitting on Donald Trump she might actually have come close to the podium. But the Olympics has nothing to do with winning medals for your country. It has to do with how many boxes you can check on your diversity form. We have to show the French and the Russians that we value diversity more than they do.
Oh yea, and we should totally give accolades to people who didn’t earn them. That’s what America is all about. Discrimination in the name of multiculturalism.
This idiot also brought up the fact that at the 1968 Olympics Tommie Smith and John Carlos put their fists in the air for black power after finishing first and third in the 200 meters:
He pointed out that Peter Norman, the awkward Australian guy who finished 2nd, actually advised Tommie Smith to give John Carlos his left glove. Therefore Michael Phelps should give up the torch for a second rate fencer who never won anything. This is logical. Makes sense.
Newsflash Kamau – Tommie Smith and John Carlos had a platform to make a political statement because they actually won something. Their achievements mattered. If they failed to make it to the finals like your girl Muhammed did, then they never would’ve had this opportunity. Other than that your comparison is rock solid.
Just imagine this was the other way around. Imagine a white columnist in 1996 wrote that Muhammed Ali should give up the torch at the Atlanta games to some second rate white guy because we didn’t want the world to think that America was filled with loud mouthed cocky boxers. Obviously they’d be fired the next day.
Not at CNN though. Because CNN employs idiots like Kamau Bell for one reason and one reason alone – diversity. This is why forcing diversity is really just a way for organizations to discriminate against white guys like Michael Phelps.

Now imagine if a columnist said that this fencer shouldn’t carry the flag because this country has enough loud mouthed blacks and Muslim terrorists who hate us. Dude would be lynched in the Internet Court.
But equating the greatest Olympian of all time with Trump just because they’re both white men? Totally A OK.
Aren’t the cops looking for you?
i have direct tv and i hope channel seven never comes back. they mean nothing to me or i anyone ive ever met. when i was a kid i thought they were cool.
really its a huge waste of time and money.
Vote was close my ass. If it was close, they were told to vote in a “diverse” member and most of them said FU and voted for the obvious choice. Cant find a vote tally anywhere. The olympics have been half a sham anyway since they allowed professionals to compete. We all know that was done for $$$, not sportsmanship or lack of competitors.
F*** Political Correctness. Carrying the flag at the Olympics is an honor that must be earned. Honor and respect are virtues that earned not given. In a nut shell that is what is wrong with this country!
Amen Chris! Unfortunately in this day and age most people don’t understand RESPECT is something you earn. You don’t get it because your are black,white,latino etc. .
JMO
CNN is is just waiting for the next plane crash or cop shooting so they can use other peoples misery to boost ratings. They are a joke. They fall right in line with the other liberal media outlets. They suck!
Did you expect anything different from the Clinton News Network?
Jew CNN had to do this to avoid the Orlando shooters father being at the wife of a rapists rally. I know this is the liberal/communist party but cmon we don’t put fathers of murderers on tv,only Jerry Remy but his son made us Boston strong,lol. CNN faked a gas attack in 91′ they have zero credibility especially with wolf an Israeli occupier telling American news. Look it up fake gulf war CNN. Did the Israelis send a thank you card for our genocidal actions starving 500,000 children. The Jew Albright says it was worth it. Thank GOD for Putin in Syria.
Always little shits like you that make it personal and blame it on the world famous scapegoats, da Jews… you need therapy, Sonny.
Oh you poor thing I’d offer you a Kleenex but we need the water.
sing hile sing hile this guys must read hilters book mine kompf everyday. what a syphilis ridden homo.
The only time I watched cnn was during the first gulf war,when Wolfe Blitzer became famous. Ever since then they suck.
