Like Chris Rock said,”Real Americans are immigrants and those that worked hard to make this country.” so called Amerikkkans just got out of their mama’s puccy in this country, and that’s it.

Anyone who says Meb is not American enough is pretty ignorant, and hating on this man’s tremendous accomplishment. More power and congratulations to Meb!

I raced this dude in the 10,000m at the Penn Relays in Philly years ago and he set a new meet-record. I don’t care where he’s from or what flag he runs under – the clock never lies. He deserves all the respect he gets and more (especially being a distance runner in the USA).

Great Photos, I love it….I actually saw the Marathon and it was a good race…yes this man is American, what is American anyway, he does have a rather unusually strong Eritrean disposition to be here since 12 yrs. old, his wife and daughters are beautiful and he ran a very paced and smart race….!!!!
I give em 5stars for this one…!!!
