Bolt_vs_Gay-thumb-400xauto-12412

Olympic champion Usain Bolt said American sprint rival Tyson Gay “probably just hates my guts” because he has dominated major championships.

Bolt won both the 100 and 200-meter titles at the 2008 Olympics in world-record times, and helped Jamaica win gold and set another world record in the 4×100-meter relay.

A year later, he again set world records in the 100 and 200 at the world championships in Berlin.

“I think Tyson sits at home and cusses me,” Bolt told BBC radio on Wednesday. “He just really gets upset because every time he runs fast, I run faster than he does. At the world championship he ran 9.71 and that’s the fastest a US athlete has ever run and he was still cussing. So deep down I think he probably just hates my guts.”

The 24-year-old Bolt hadn’t lost an individual race in two years until last month, when Gay beat him in Stockholm in a 100-meter race.

“It’s no stress. This year is not a championship year, this is my year off I would say, so it is no problem,” Bolt said. “I am always ready, prepared and on top of my game (at the championships).”

Bolt says that he doesn’t speak to the 28-year-old Gay away from the track.

“We are cool but we aren’t the best of friends,” Bolt said.

    thats not news….black americans dont realy like other blacks realy….thats how the “zoe pound” haitian gang was founded….they were constantly beaten up by black americans so they formed a brotherhood and fight back….most black americans think we are here to take whats theirs and would rather us go back where we came from much less dominate them in a sporting event…..usain still got the record and the championship tho its no biggy…

For ur ignorant ass, i will tell u this, i dont know what bolt is talking about but i have seen tyson in jamaica partying with bolt and asafa., this could all be friendly rivalry.

    Man this dude BenLewis sure has a lot of hate that he is carrying around.

    It is sad to see the hate going on here! We are the same Africans stolen and enslaved! Some were taken to the Islands and some sold in America. White folks pit us against each other and we allow it. We need to study history and understand who is the enemy, and why we hate each other. Why is it that black Americans look on Island people with such hate? There are Italians, Greeks, English, and other Europeans coming here. Are you afraid to hate them? The game you are buying into is called divide and conquer. The biggest enemy we all have is ignorance. The white man sees us all the same, blacks of African descent. When they were setting up the hierarchy here, and in the islands, blacks were on the bottom. If I was starving and there was a place I could go for opportunity, I would. I do not blame anyone for coming here looking for better opportunities. As far as the rivalry between Bolt and Gay, I believe it is a friendly rivalry. They are athletes and have traveled all over the world. I would bet a dollar to a dime, that know what the deal is. I applaud both of them for being role models to their country men. We need more!

    That is one stupid ass comment by Ben Lewis; how dare you call Usain Bolt a monkey. If Africans and West Indians can get along, I don’t see the reason why African Americans can’t get along with West Indians or Africans. Wake up folks, UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL.

    The ONLY good thing about benlewis is that MOST Black Americans are not like him, and think he’s a stupid idiot!

    @benlewis1

    You sound very ignorant. Have you been brainwashed by the KKK? A black man calling another black man monkey…smh. I bet the KKK is laughing if they can read your self-hating comment.

    Black people in NYC get along with no problems. Is that why you moved upstate, NY?
    Caribbean culture is black culture just African culture is black culture. As a proud black man, I love my black people all over the world. You need to free your mind from the “Willie Lynch Syndrome.” If you don’t know what is, Google can help you out.

    @digg_it_up

    From your comment, how do you explain black gangs killing each other in Cali or Chicago?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/digg_it_up/ digg_it_up

    when i was interviewed at the american embassy in jamaica to get my visa they asked me what am i goin to america to do…..i said i am goin to further my education….i signed the card to get drafted in case there is a draft and i also joined the united states navy same navy that kennedy joined. ever since am here i have never downplayed nor downpress anyone to get where i am goin and i am by no means mad at black americans cas yes yall paved the way. but gat dam if amma suck up to you cas you hate me for where i came from……if you hate me then you on your own cas i have no hate for anyone…….

    a haitian woman got raped by a bunch of black americans and had her perform oral sex on her son and the NAACP was no where to be found……and the list goes on…..am just stating the truth and the facts……its recorded even on the history chanel that most gangs started cas they were downpressed by black americans who are supposed to guide them and help them, we supposed to bond together and overcome this ish together……not kill each other….as for black gangs killing black gangs it just goes so far to show how much hate that our color has gone thru that we even hate each other of money, drugs and women…..we need to bond together and cut the bs……as you can see in the pictures where usain is running beside gay you will notice how gay is lookin at bolt as if he trying to prove something….wtf….if you winnin a race win it cas your heart in it not because you running against a fellow black who happens to be from another country…..
