WHEN BEING BLACK SUCKS: A White Girl Accuses First Black World Gymnastics Champion She Only Won Beca

It surely seems some people think being black is synonymous to failure and therefore find it difficult to accept defeat when a black person puts them under the belt.

An Italian gymnast has provoked outrage after claiming the sport’s first black world champion- Simone Biles, 16, only won because of her skin colour.

Simone Biles from America made gymnastic history when she became the new all-round world champion on Friday.

But bad loser-Carlotta Ferlito, 18, who finished fifth told a journalist that she had joked with  teammate Vanessa Ferrari, who come fourth, that they should paint themselves black next time to stand a chance of winning.

Carlotta mentioned it to the interviewer: ‘I told Vanny (Ferrari) that next time we should also paint our skin black, so then we could win too.’

After her comments and realizing how much of a racist she sounded,  Carlotta took to twitter to apologise; saying;

‘I want to apologise with the Americans girls. I didn’t want to sound rude or racist. I love Simone and I’m a huge fan of USA gymnastics.’

She later added: ‘I’ve made a mistake, I’m not perfect… I didn’t think about what I was saying. I’m just a human. I’m so so sorry.’
