COMMENTARY: Olympic gymnast Gabby Douglas faces that other n-word, nappy

Gabrielle Christina Victoria "Gabby" Douglas is one of this year's Olympic darlings.

As a member of the U.S. women's gymnastics team, Gabby is the first African-American gymnast and woman of color, in Olympic history, to win gold medals in the individual all-around and team competitions at the same Olympics.

When she won the gold, the blogosphere blew up with a torrent of congratulations. But the blogosphere blew up unexpectedly with a deluge of condemnations, too.

Douglas's hair has been the topic of a ton of e-chatter since she stepped onto the Olympic world stage.
