  • It's like swimming the fastest heat in lane 8. You made the FASTEST HEAT. He made the OLYMPIC FINAL RELAY TEAM. He's still one of the fastest, ever! :D Go Cullen Jones :)

  • ''when you do continue to strive and don't give up [chuckle] you can sit here and get this also''

    She said it with so much confidence, pride but slight seriousness too. lol

  • nothing against cullen jones but he almost lost the race, this has nothing to do with skin color just the fact that it could have ended horribly if jason hadn't been a beast

  • At first I thought I saw a nigga swimming.

    Then hey opened his mouth and I realized he's an OREO.

  • Bx, NY

  • Love Cullen Jones! "The suit doesn't get up at 5:30 in the morning, like I do, so."

  • he's very pretty

  • there is a tendancy for blacks to better at field and whites to be better at swimming ...we all have natural talents that differ amongst individuals as well as race.. its just one of those things ..get over it.

  • There's a tendency for people who try the hardest to be better at every sport. It's not about race; sometimes children of different colors are encouraged to play different sports, and so we see an athletic disparity in some sports, but there is no reason why someone who tries the hardest and works the hardest cant be better than someone who was born with the "right" skin color.

  • @bepitan

    umm false, it has nothing to do with skin color. its called time and dedication

  • wow he is cute! :D lol

  • Cullen Jones

    is chiter

    aukaukaukukaukauk

  • He had a great split. I thought it was 47.65. It was interesting to see that it was his best split ever. Does anyone know what Michael's split was? I've also heard 2 accounts of Jason's split, one being a 46.60. They all contributed to this win. It was the most exciting event at the olympics for me.

  • hey welcme 2 the 20th century! racist go to hell!

  • its the 21st century ! xD

  • @josdanchavez

    its actually the 21st

  • @josdanchavez

    its actually the 21st

  • USA!

  • congrats cullen

    you've inspired me to tryout 4 the olympics

  • Yorkuni...your fucking Barbados accent sounds and smells like you do...shit. Did you expect Cullen to sound like a dumbass like you..I THINK NOT!!! YOur Bajan accent sucks ass and balls!!!! YOu have no place on this website you bajan fool..SHUT YOUR CAKEHOLE!!!!

  • Yeah, and the person he was up against swam the fastest relay split in HISTORY (until Jason)!! It's Cullen's first Olympics, he's relatively young and inexperienced compared to some of the other people there, give the guy a break! He's awesome! I'd like to see you even attempt to do half of what he's accomplished in his lifetime.

  • yes he was the slowest, but he went 47.96 (almost half a second better than his best) so actually he did better than he was supposed to and i 47.96 is to say the least, really fast.

  • what did he do, i odnt think saying he was slower is rude

  • stupid racist ppl dats all u r all u think is that black people cant swim like cullen jones and you say hes gay well skrew you

  • This video is about an AMERICAN Olympic gold medalist, world class swimmer who HAPPENS to be black. Now in come a bunch of idiots arguing all this racist trash about "how much of the population blacks make up, evolution, Cullen "sounding white"...

    Dude you guys are a bunch frickin' losers!

  • You sound like such an IDIOT!

    MY STOMACH CURLED WHEN I READ YOUR JUVENILE, HATEFUL COMMENT.

    GROW UP!

  • you disgust me

  • Shut the fuck up Yorkuni. Not all black people talk like you. We don't all speak ebonics you fucking degenerate!!! There are quite a few of us who speak proper english...not the broken shit that you speak 24/7. There is a time to turn it off. If you're not on this site to celebrate his success GET THE FUCK OFF!!!!!! and SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!

  • wow cullen jones is awesome- he's got a personality that makes you smile right along with him.

  • @kookykatlyn yeaah i like him he seems cool

  • Yeah brotherman helped america win the 4x100 freestyle relay

  • okay fat ass like I didn't saw the fuckin tape....its hard to tell...many say that Cavic won so who knows...tape doesn't show anythin...u can't tell who won by a 100th of a second so shut the fuck up....I do think that Michael is the best swimmer...an hes pretty respectfull as well unlike u fuckin bitches

  • Some people definitely would have *liked* Cavic to win, Cavic himself included. The fact remains that the timing system clocked Phelps in first, and that even after the Serbian team challenged the placing, FINA reviewed the tape over and over and decided that Phelps did indeed out-touch him.

    Dara Torres lost by 1/100th of a second, and no one is complaining about her loss/Steffen's win.

    The "many" who say he won are not the swimming officials, so their credibility is null.

  • thats cuz u guys don't giva shit about Dara...I mean 100th of a second...commonnnn

  • Aw, I care very much about Dara =] She's my favorite swimmer and I believe she, more than anyone (except maybe Ryan Lochte), deserved a gold medal.

  • Congratulations to the USA men's relay team for their hard work and dedication. You all deserve the gold medal and how about Jersey's Own Cullen Jones...They didn't think you could do it.

  • Right, so what's your theory? The wall trigger cheated so that Phelps could win? Maybe China wanted Phelps to win so forced the Olympics to make the wall trigger malfunction so that Phelps could win?

    Rather than stating how "it was obvious", why not go look at the race again and *pause it* (which will tell you definitively) to see who touches the wall first.

    jezebel com/5037950/michael-phelps-out­swims-serbian-overwhelms-mom

  • I can't believe the discussion that has evolved around this video. Congratulations to the USA men's relay team for the hard work, dedication, and "never give up" attitude!! Cullen and teammates deserve accolades and congrats instead of some of thse rediculous comments, some of which, can probably be attributed to jealousy! Some of you need to get a real life.

  • Them doin almost everythin' now. Them could be president soon. I'm leaving for Canada!

  • Don't be such a racist. Take your a** to Canada, then. You don't think Canada can't evolve non-white future world record breaking athletes. Grow the **** up people!

  • "Them" can also speak proper English, something that seems to escape you!

  • he almost lost it though :s

  • he is amazing!

  • I think you're a fucking fag. At least Cullen Jones is a fucking fag with a gold medal... what the fuck do YOU have?

  • Get a life fruitcake...

  • Gosh lets get real.

    The suit cuts drag by 30 PERCENT!!!

    Thats like a sprinter saying spiked running shoes dont help.

  • I'm a swimmer, and I think I can safely say that all the Olympic swimmers' suits were designed to cut drag, and that if I put on a fastskin suit like theirs it would not make me Olympic speed. >_>

    It's all in the swimmer wearing it.

  • I'll assume you're joking.

    But if you're not, then put on LeBron's shoes...maybe you'll be able to dunk like him too!

  • First golf - Tiger Woods

    Now swimming - Cullen Jones

    Now you got Obama coming on like Gang Busters!

    It sure sucks to be a racist these days! LOL!

  • he sounds white not that thats a bad thing

  • You've been brainwashed by the media, who have told you what white and black people sound like and what they're supposed to do.

    You remind me of this white guy I was talking to a few years back. We just met, but the look he was giving me was all too familiar. It was the, "Well I'm speaking to a black man, but you sure as hell don't sound like a black man. Let me check my ears again!" look.

    Within a minute or so, he asks my friend and I, "So...where are guys from?"

    You're being brain-washed!

  • ok if we're still evolving...why are there no freaking half-monkey, half-humans running around. Evolution would still be occuring if it were true. Answer me that!!!

    You can be godless all you want that's fine. But everything works to perfectly in this world for us to be a cosmic accident! Atheists are people who don't want to be responsible for their actions and think very little of their life's worth.

  • *rolls eyes at aquarianbabe*

    you clearly first of all haven't read origin of species, and secondly you have no idea about how evolution works.

    but thank you for demonstrating your ignorance.

  • definition of theory: something that has been postulated, but not PROVEN!!!

    I have read it and I know enough to know that it's crap. You can't pass on genetic traits that you DON'T have. It is according to Darwin, advantageous to be tall, so you adapt to your society's/culture's needs. That's like saying the baby decides in the womb that it wants to be a basketball player and says, "Well my parents are 5'5 and 5'6, but for me to have a shot I'll grow to 6'7. come on now!!

  • prove anything, please prove something 100%, anything, you can't do it.

    evolution is FACT, there is more supportive evidence for the existence of evolution than there is for the existence of GRAVITY.

    no don't tell me you don't believe in gravity either?

    and there is no "decisions" made in the evolutionary process, but having not read anything about evolution, and therefor know nothing about evolution, I wouldn't expect you to know what you are talking about.

    you are excused

  • The planet you live on is proof enough. You don't have to talk down to us like we're stupid.

    You honestly think that in the beginning nothing exploded and we all game from paramecium in some nutrient-rich snot soup. What? They've recreated this soup we supposedly evolved from struck it with lightning, heated it, chilled it etc. and guess what, no life, just peptides. I'm not going to argue with you because you won't change your mind and you already think i'm a fool, so why waste my time!

  • yet you keep replying to my posts...

    now you think that some mythical being created the universe out of nothing for no reason and it continues to watch and care about human beings for some reason, and I think the universe came into being through a natural event which we do not quite fully understand but has an unkempt amount of evidence to support it's theory. so who is less rational?

  • I chose to live for God because I want to and I'd rather live a good life for an imaginary being than a bad life and there be a God.

    Give a black person swimming as their only option and they'll excel. Give a white person track as their only option and they'll excel. They didn't evolve or change their muscle structure to make it work they trained, not evolved. Oh and by the way, if blacks have such heavy bones then why in the hell can they run so fast...gravity would hold them back.

  • heavy bones?!?!? LOL

    i NEVER said that hahahaha

  • I know that...but that's what been said.  People are not aquatic beings and therefore cannot sprout gills or whatever to make themselves better swimmers. Some people just have gifts that makes them physiologically better swimmers and they train to increase those gifts, but to say they evolved to swim is absolutely ridiculous because they don't know that they'll be swimmers inside the womb.

    So what about eskimos...these people evolved to have extra layers of fat to stand the cold?

  • TheFutureIsAtheist, here's the problem with not believing in some type of God. Every step of the way, you're confronted with numbers that are just too mind-boggling. I'll give you another example.

    When you get a cut, our body clots the cut and we go on living. Do you know that blod-clotting is an intricate 21 step process. And we need all 21 steps. We know this because Arsenic works by blocking step 14. Look it up.

  • TheFutureIsAtheist, I've been following your arguments. One, I find it most interesting that you can't make any points without being condescending.

    You say you believe in the Big Bang as a natural event. Really? There are MANY things regarding the BBT that can't be explained in the natural.

    For example, where did the mass of the universe come from? Any explanation of that would go against the First Law of Thermodynamics, which says that matter can not be created or destroyed.

  • *rolls eyes*

  • youtube, with it's 500 character limitation, is not the place to argue this. But I always find it interesting when someone argues how *stupid* it is to believe any other theory than the "there is no God" one.

    Look at the entropy during the BB. It was extremely low. It would be like calling the construction of the Empire State building "an explosion". You simply don't see this in nature. So is it logical to believe that this unnatural event could happen on it's own or had help?

  • Following along this theme, what were the chances of carbon forming during the Big Bang? 1 chance in 10^40,000!!! That calculation was done by an atheist, btw! Again, this goes along with the "orderly" part of the "explosion".

    So using the same logic that you claim believers of God don't use, is it reasonable that carbon could have formed during the BB all on it's own? One chance in a billion is 10^9. We're talking 10^40,000!!! And that's just to form carbon, man!

  • your a fuckin idiot! you Have no clue about what your talking about so shut up! btw i love you but go die in a hole! i love you all!

  • Lolololol, I'm the idiot? Let me just re-post your first sentence, ok?

    "your (sic) a fuckin idiot!"

    I repeat, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!! Dude, don't show yourself on this thread again!!! As a matter of fact, your internet privilegs have been revoked for a month! And if you don't get why should be utterly embarrassed, then clearly your parents wasted money trying to give you a formal education! The very first word? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • So if you don't believe in God, you have to believe that we started off as organisms with no blood, then evolved into creatures with this intricate 21 step process, with no help!

    I love the way Fred Hoyle put it. To say that the Big Bang could *accidentally* create our universe is like saying that a hurricane, passing through a junkyard, could *accidentally* create a 747!

    Believe what you want. However, I always find it interesting when atheists look down on those who believe in God.

  • it wasn't accidental, it was a natural event, one that we don't quite fully understand, but chalking it up to "god" is the most ignorant stance one can take.

    a natural event can't create a man made object like a 747, whereas a natural event can conceivably create a natural item like the universe.

    you can sit in your church, taking comfort in your lies and mistruths, and i'll continue to look to science for actual answers to our questions.

  • Rather than fight with youtube's 500 character limit (and talking about such a heavy subject when the topic should be about swimming), I'll just send you a private message.

  • In infinity, every possibily is inevitable. Therefore, everything is not only possible but has to happen. One of those things happens to be humanity. If you give an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, it is virtually impossible not to have Edgar Allen Poe's "The Telltale Heart" somewhere in there. Everything is chance. I am atheist because that is what is logical to me, but I do not look down upon you, just the problems ideas of a got have cause. Dont try to convert us.

  • See, this is what happens when you jump into the middle of a conversation that wasn't directed towards you.

    TheFutureIsAtheist was making fun of a few other posters for believing in a God. I said that *he* needs to be more flexible and realize that he could very well be wrong. Rather than be smug and assume he HAS to be right, he should think of other possibilities.

    You, of course, jumped into a conversation not directed towards you and assumed (wrongly) I was trying to convert people.

  • yeah sorry about that.

  • We don't have large water holes or swimming pools in my village.

  • People keep arguing on his being black as a factor.

    It was a TEAM effort that the US team beat the French. All of the swimmers played an important role.

  • @txtocker281

    the "TEAM" as you put it, had to make up for the black guys loss of time. he allowed the US to fall behind an entire body length during his swim and the ancor of the US team had to make back that time.

  • USA!!!!!!

  • He has to be pretty damn good to be on the olympic swim team u idiot.

  • well he posted the fastest split on the "B"relay so i'm pretty sure any other person wouldn't have done as well - especially considering USA won by .008 seconds.

    BTW - his name is Cullen Jones, not "the black guy"

  • yes the USA won the race because of the ancor after this guy left them trailing the other team by a body length.

  • you sir are an idiot. black people aren't the greatest swimmers? that's like saying white people are the worst basketball players, that's fucking idiotic. Swimming isn't a sport that's aimed or really promoted in the black community just like gymnastics.

    But according to the way your mind works black people should be good at flipping and swinging, they did it in the jungle all those years.

    To say black people aren't the best swimmers has got to be the DUMBEST fucking thing I have EVER heard.

  • saying black people aren't the best swimmers isn't the dumbest thing you've ever heard.

    how many black people are swimming at the olympic level? almost none. similarly most black people do better than white people at track events.

    our bodies are better suited for different activities due to our evolutionary history. you know bodies needing to adapt live in certain parts of the world.

    so stating that black people aren't as good at swimming isn't racist, it's a fact.

  • The Olympics disproves evolution because all races and all countries compete in different events and do exceptionally well. Just because you don't see black people swimming doesn't mean they can't; it's just not marketed in black communities. You do the sport you grow up around mostly.

    I'm not even gonna scream on you about evolution because it was a racist theory thought up by a racist man. Read origin of species and see how Darwin gives all advantages to "white" people.

  • @TheFutureIsAtheist people said the same thing about tennis, then we had arthur ashe and the williams sisters. people said the same thing about golf, cue tiger woods. the similar thing about tennis, golf and swimming is that they have all been traditionally middle class sports that blacks were dissuaded to take part in.

  • auarianbabe, you are correct.

    thefutureisdumbwithatheist is the noobies of noobies. he/she/it is a racist and mad that his pathetic canada fails at everything. rare to see a black guy in canada thus, he is jealous. tsk tsk

    anyways, go USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Phelps and Cullen jones are GREATTTTTTTTTT! WOOOOOOOOOOOO :D

  • Are you that retarded? Seriously, move off your plantation you fucking bigot.

  • not quite a bigot, but a realist. look.

    white people better at swimming.

    black people better at track.

    it has to do with how evolution has changed our bodies due to where our ancestors had to live in the past.

    once again, how many black people do you see swimming at the olympic level? almost none because their bodies aren't as well adapted to the rigors of swimming as white bodies.

    similarly white people aren't as adept at running.

    it's not rocket science.

  • You are full of shit.

  • you're an idiot you noob.

    TheFutureIsNOTAtheist ROFL

    Your stupidity shows just as your lack of belief you stupid noob

    it has nothing to do with people's anatomy you stupid fuck. you sound like a fucking idiot seriously, you're owning yourself

    the reason why u don't see many black swimmers is because of culture and lifestyle idiot.

    u cannot even explain ur claim nor provide proof idiot, u just put the infamous evolution label on it.

    it's more sociology than science u noob

    get owned

  • @ LVL95ForumTroll

    ah i guess predominately black nations like kenya don't send swimmers but they send all kinds of awesome track and marathon runners because of their lifestyles.

    again, a persons race can somewhat limit how good that person can be at certain activities due to their acestral history.

    and there are plenty of black people in Canada, I have several black friends.

    AND, its true Canada isn't the best summer games country, but we'll talk again in 2010 at the winter games.

  • tsk tsk again

    so now i assume that u assume that every predominantly white is dominant in swimming now?

    it's not in the kenyans interest most likely. due to culture and lifestyle.

    training in a fucking lake vs world class training facilities. do the math.

    take a 100 black babies and 100 white babies from birth. you will have 200 great swimmers. you will not see 100 better white swimmers vs 100 sucky black swimmers.

    do the same for track. etc

    also, why are u an atheist, im just curious

  • you are wrong, but i'll let you have your baseless opinion.

    and I'm an atheist because there is no evidence that your god or any god exists.

  • @TheFutureIsAtheist:

    How do you know god or gods don't exist? The first step in proving/disproving its existence is defining the methods and properties of god(s) since there is no universal consensus on what god(s) is. So tell me, what kind of god do you disbelieve in?

  • I don't know that a god doesn't exist, but just because there isn't any evidence of a supreme creator of the universe, doesn't mean that there is one, and until there is some actual evidence of god existing (like jesus comming down and doing some more miracles) then the only logical conclusion is that there is no god, but I do not rule out the possibility that the existence of a god may be proven in the future.

    Possibility does not equal existence.

  • And possibility does not equal non-existence. One can play it both ways. And NO, disbelieving in god is not the *only* logical conclusion. In your case agnosticism would be the best fit.

  • thats just a common misconception about atheists.

    you are assuming that atheists would just deny fact if a god actual showed itself to humanity. atheists wouldn't do that.

    now imagine, that somewhere down the line, someone acutally disproves the existence of a god. I know that we can't even conceive that right now, but just for the sake of arguement. If that happened religious people would ignore that discovery and keep on believing.

  • same goes for the other way

    if somewhere down the line someone did the same for a creator, atheist would ignore that discovery and keep on coming up with counter explanations. anything that can be explain is of the natural world, thus no "god" depending on pple's own definition of "god"

  • that is wrong, if someone actually proved, beyond a reasonable doubt, that there is a god, atheists would not have any trouble believing in that god.

  • Yes, one can disprove the existence of a god by writing out a set of axioms describing it, and finding contradictions within the assumptions generated from the axioms. Yes, we can do it. DEFINE "GOD".

    Ok keywords to get you started: matter, energy, creation, infinity...blah blah

  • goes both ways. some atheist will still disagree and for the other way, some religious pple may agree and not believe. already alot of religious pple stop believing. IT GOES BOTH WAYS.

    but yea message me about what i said about my other comment if u write in forums. youtube is not the proper place to really get a debate going.

  • ironic becuz of ur youtube name

  • @TheFutureIsAtheist:

    It doesn't take rocket science, nor a lot of common sense which you apparently lack. Your same *flawed* argument was used ages ago with respect to b-ball, football, baseball, etc. Replace b-ball courts in the inner cities with pool facilities, and Michael Jordan/Kobe Bryant with the likes of Cullen Jones then you'll begin to see new trends among young black aspiring athletes. The sport of swimming could very well turn out to be like the NBA decades from now. Foolish racist

  • lol, once again, i'm not racist, i have many black friends.

    it's not hard to understand that black people (having a more recent ancestry to africa) would be better at land events because they come from an area where there is not a lot of water but an abundance of dry arid land. their bodies are designed more towards land activities because of their recent ancestral past.

    i'm sorry you lack the intelligence to understand basic concepts.

  • Ok then let's use proof by contradiction. I'm sure you would classify him as being "black". So tell me what about his anatomy makes him such a great swimmer compared to 98%+ whites, blacks (humans collectively). Fact: He was born in Africa, and was exposed to swimming early in his childhood, so that in itself indicates a weak correlation between Africans and Black Americans with respect to swimming. I can already see we could get into a whole Genetics vs Enviroment debate...I'm up for it

  • NOT born in Africa...

  • i never said he wasn't a good swimmer. no doubt he is a good swimmer or else he wouldn't be in the olympics.

    but what I'm trying to say is that people who have more ancesters living in the northern hemisphere will have a better build for swimming because their ancesters will have passed down genes that make swimming easier. whereas people with more ancesters from the southern hemisphere will have a better build for running because of terrain and climate in that area.

  • you're an idiot, everything u said is so retarded. you're full of shit it's funny.

    please explain how their bodies are designed more towards land activities u idiot.

    everything u say is basically saying LIFESTYLE and CULTURE u fucking self owning noob

  • @LVL95ForumTroll

    you clearly know absolutely nothing about evolution so I fail to see any point in telling you anything that you won't understand and reject anyways.

  • actually you're wrong, i know quite well. please explain you bluff.

    sorry but atheists are usually blinded and bullheaded

  • yes, very nice

    the most fundamental concept and thefutureisatheist is blinded.

    the reason why he is saying all of this jibberish evolution is because of his beliefs. he doesnt believe in god so he is reasserting himself for his lack of belief. he is failing horribly

  • "jibberish evolution"

    really? lol

    you realize there is more evidence for the existence of evolution than there is for the existence of GRAVITY.

    evolution is FACT, just deal with it.

  • ur a noob even more.

    no edvience doesnt = non existance

    humans have limits. sharks will never find mars.

    also u take all aspects of evolution as a WHOLE. which is retarded. i catch a cold, i become resistant, thus evolution to some degree. u take that into consideration and probably support all evolution. i never said i do not believe in evolution, i do not believe in every single evolution theory mainly human evolution.

    owned again

  • "sharks will never find mars"

    can you prove that? how about in 5 million years? maybe sharks will evolve and become an intelligent species like humans?

  • sorry but i dont support evolution to that extent.

    no transition fossils = no evolution to such extent.

    u support pokemon type evolution yet do not believe in god/influence/creator.

  • unfortunately there are millions of transitional fossils leading to our current state of humanity, so your claim that there is no transitional fossils is just untrue.

  • inconsistent for all.

    also evolution doesn't have to vs a god

    a creator could have just given the universe an microwave effect. take the concept of baking a cake. yum.

    btw do u write in forums? please message which ones if any, so i can futher and properly increase your knowledge.

    the character limit on youtube is very annoying

    please message me and i will get back to u too tomorrow.

  • haha. what an idiot. "There is more evidence for evolution than there is for the existence of gravity". Ok, every other argument you proposed made you sound intelligent but this negates it all. Ones a theory, albeit compelling, and the other's a law. Don't just make up stuff to win your argument.

  • lol, gravity isn't a law

    it's called the Theory of Gravity

  • Law of Gravitation. And in rereading my post I apologize for referring to you as an idiot. You have however made some idiotic posts.

  • hahaha, it has to do with ontoly and epistemology :D

  • I stand corrected. This is the most ignorant comment you've made. 60% of blacks in the US can't even swim. If blacks only make up 12% of the population (and declining) how many do you expect to see in the Olympics swimming? Moron. This athletic discipline is comparatively less alluring for blacks to commit themselves to.

  • Representing Irvington NJ

    and St Benedict's Prep. Holla!!

  • cullen jones is a really fast swimmer...but he lost the lead and made it harder for the us to catch up. if you paid attention to his leg, he dives in first and touches the wall at 3 or 4.

  • -=-

  • Congratulations Jones, please let everybody you swim and we are so proud of you....really!

    We need more young kids like you!

    Bravo, Bravo, bravo!!!

  • 12357~

    We can do anything humanly possible. Where have you been the last hundred years?

  • Yes asshole we can do alot of things. Thanks for catching up to something that is common knowledge. Oh and good luck living in your ignorant world.

  • awesome race.

  • damn fine job cullen and USA swimming..incredible race, amazing ending... do they really tell black kids that there bones are too heavy to swim???.. sounds like something from the middle ages..

  • GO CULLEN!!!!

  • this guy wil be a insperattion 2 many black kids hu r told not 2 swim becuase ler bones are 2 heavy

    GO CULLEN !

  • I don't think anyone told you that you can't swim. You just never knew that you could because all the grown ups on the telly want to do is shoot hoops or kick a ball around because been that way. I hope now you have someone to look up so go ahead and dive into the pool and show your spirits. Just remember you still can't float no matter your skin color or bone density. Swimming like all sports still require skill and dedication. You can still drown if you don't know how to kick.

  • did anyone tape the performance? i was asleep.

  • Congratulations to Cullen and the rest of the team! well deserved medal. The four of them are the best in the world no question about it.

  • O.k. Let's put an end to all this bickering... Good JOB USA 400 Free TEAM. TEAM people TEAM. Cullen did one hell of a JOB. No Question. They now have GOLD on their chest and I bet no one in this blog does.... Just in joy the GAMES. Can't we all just get along???

  • wut the fuck people this is the olypics....and yall still talking about the skin color of a person???...shit this opned up my eyes and made me realize that race will never die out...we need to end it b4 it hits our future generation and their generation

  • lmao at lilmamas first cmnt about how lezak wouldnt of had to swim his ass off if jones was a little faster. they all swam as fast as they could it was the finals in the olympics. jones was the weak link but some1 had to b and he was only .6 seconds slower then #2 neway. good win for usa

  • correction to my .6 sec it was .16 seconds. .6 would b huge lol

  • SHOW SOME CULTURE AND EDUCATION!!!! why you guys are talking about racism here!!! just 'cuz this guy is black? What's the big deal with it? the only difference that he has, is his skin color, he has the same lungs, heart, etc. inside!!! God........

  • OMG!! White people in America have to be the most racist bigoted people on the face of the earth. How inherently evil, do you pick on the only African American on the freakin swim team after decades of saying black people couldnt even swim!  The question was loaded. he was asked to comment on his part individually. Dumbasses!! Typical hate mongers!

  • Do you think only White people in America are racist? I've got news for you. Asians don't like Blacks and Blacks don't like Asians. Koreans don't like Japanese, Japanese don't like Koreans. There is nothing wrong with not liking each other.

  • Do I think white American are the only racist? NO. But why do you people go out of your way so hard to prove it? Jesus Christ! It's almost like you are competing to be the biggest bigots to get a cookie!

  • Look around youtube, don't bury your head in the sand. People from different countries and races bash each other all the time on here. You can draw whatever conclusions you want but hate usually goes both ways.

  • Haha. Score 1 point for mutualfm in the competition for the most ignorant comment award. Yeah, there's nothing wrong blindly disliking another race or people. Uh, have you heard of the Holocaust? Genocide in Rwanda? Ethnocide of the NATIVE Americans? There's nothing wrong with ethnic pride. Disdain towards others on this basis, however, is a very dangerous disposition.

  • There is nothing wrong with disdain towards others on race. People dislike each other for all sorts of reasons, race, looks, weight, class, how someone walks or eats. We are free to like or dislike whoever we want, are we not? It is all good as long as nothing illegal comes from it.

  • lol. you don't know racism until you come to India.

    If your skin is too dark or otherwise look Bengali, you'll get set on fire or have your lips removed with pliers.

    American Blacks are soooo spoiled.

    American poor people own TV's and are fatties.

    Come to India. Enjoy.

  • Actually I have been, Kerla! Southern India. So dark Indians are going through what we went through 75 years ago. Most of that is a Class System. There are Indians in America that are darker than me that get more respect in America, than I ever will. No, white conservatives (I will save most liberals) are the most vile racist creatures on earth.

  • Google "Without Sanctuary" to see that America hs been there and done that when it comes to buring dark people alive!

  • yes. we over here probably know more amerian history than americans do!

    American blacks are lucky in that you have a very young country and you have made such fast progress. your constitution was a gift.

    we are much much older civlization have still have problems from the middle ages.

    your martin kings learned from gandhi and made much greater progress in such a short time...

    and it's not just caste here, it's the physical differences....just the physical differences as well as caste.

  • and don't get me started on ranting how woman are treated....ahahahah....

  • Yeah, women, gays, liberals, peaceniks, poor, environmentalist. I know, I know, white conservatives go after them all. But its the bigotry and utter evil bestowed upon people of color that is most appauling. It's also typical to see a few of them come on here and blame their history of bigotry on liberal social programs less than 40 years old. So typical! And Affirmative Action, via Richard Nixon, is not the cause of why black people were burned alive in the twenties. You bigots!

  • lol. don't be too angry.

    you come from a great african culture. you are lucky you live in america.

    trust me.

  • You make good points and I do not deny the class warfare that goes on there. I could not bare to go through what the "untouchables" have to endure. But again, that is class. Its the same race however!

    White conservatives in America hit the Hamptons and Hilton Head like a fly on dead meat to get sun tans while hating the guts of black people. Its an amazing phenomenon to me! I dont want a cookie for whose country has the longest history. I know white people here hate your people too!

  • Why are these mutually exclusive ideas. To comment on the racism or sexism of one society isn't to ignore the racism or sexism, caste system of another. More people died in the tsunami than in 9-11. Are we to call either incident any less tragic. There are problems are all over the world, and they function in very different ways. And it is a whole other complexity to experience racism, classism, sexism etc. when people seek to tell you that it doesn't exist in your country.

  • The fact that youre making this about race proves that you are a joke of a human being

  • I agree. I came on this thread to see the heat and all is see is a group of htemongers jumping on the only black guy. You cant go anywhere in America and avoid conservative white fear an hate mongerers!

  • quetou, liberals feed racism with their belief that people of color need governments help or else they can't succeed. Affirmative action, racial quotas, special government loan programs for minorities. Hard working people in the black community find liberals views towards them very upsetting. They don't want and really don't seek special treatment. Judge them by their character, intelligence, and work ethic. Not their color

  • Nah, I dont buy that fantasy talking point that liberals made white conservatives racist. that is your nature, its your history and its your legacy. White liberals with open minds that embrace the good in all of mankind will never stoke the fire of your bigotry, no matter what your talk show heroes say.

  • Quetou, I'm Black you idiot. What talking points are you refering to? The DEMS or REPUBS platforms. Just open your eyes to the fact that liberals, for some reason, love to keep the black family in poverty, dependent, and broken up. Do you think I like being told I got a job or went to NYU because I'm black and my education was paid for by the UNCF. Myself and my family hate affirmative action and quota's. We can compete with anyone , anywhere. The swimmer wasn't black, he's an AMERICAN

  • Man I can't stop watching this race it was the best i've ever seen, of these four gentlemen; Jones is the second black American to be on the Olympic swim team, and he helped to win the 4X100 I am proud of him too. These four men are phenomenal!!!!!!!!!

  • GOOOOOO PHELPS AND TEAM USA!

  • Oh my goodness... weakest link, or not who really gives a shit! Damn, he was on the team, and one of the best four in the United States... He was on the damn team because he was better than everyone else in the world other than the three people that were on his team... so therefore, if he (the "weakest link") didn't swim, someone else would have swam in his place that wasn't as fast as he was and they would have lost... Shit... Team effort, my goodness...

  • Obviously you have not listened to a thing I said. I never discredited dude for his win, I am an American, an African American at that, so naturally I'm happy to see another African American win Gold!  All I'm saying is that HE is not the face of THIS win! If Lezak was giving this interview, I would've been more proud 'cause he's the one who brought it home. IN MY OPINION (which I am entitled to one) it appears that Cullen is giving off the impression that this win is because of HIM!

  • I can dig that... if that'
