Simone Biles pulled off a record-tying sixth all-around title at the U.S. gymnastics championships on Sunday. She dominated with a move no woman has ever landed in competition before, proving she’s still the most dominate athlete gymnastics has ever seen. Biles, like her predecessor Dominique Dawes, who became the first African American woman to win an individual Olympic medal in artistic gymnastics in 1994, isn’t racking up medals because of her skin color, or because black women are presumably having a pop culture moment, or because of affirmative action or any other agenda that hinges on political correctness. She is winning because she is tremendously talented. I know that’s a difficult realization for some to hear (Ferlito, I’m looking at you and your peers), but black women are and have always been – like pop star Rihanna once said – on a whole other level.
